Line 128:
** Apparently this trope was taken into consideration when doing that scene. Originally they had him apologize for his behavior before suffering his fate, but they decided to edit that out to keep him a strict asshole in the eyes of the audience. It worked, since when his scene came up, the audience ''cheered''.
** Like most of the movie, this is probably in reference to ''[[Night of the Living Dead]]'' and in particular the dynamic between Ben and Harry; like Harry, David ''is'' right about a lot of the things that they should be doing, but that doesn't stop him from being an asshole.
* ''[[Sorority Row]]'' probably has a record for the number of deliberately unsympathetic victims; out of all the people killed maybe one or two qualify for [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] status. The killer actually [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s how horrible the murdered characters all were.
* Mr. Dietrichson in ''[[Double Indemnity]]'', for the sake of making Neff a [[Sympathetic Murderer]].
* In ''[[Scanners]] 2'', the main character kills a pair of store-robbing thugs who already killed two clerks and were either about to do the same to his girlfriend, or kidnap her/hold her hostage.
