Buffalo '66: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

* [[Bullet Time]]: A similar effect to ''[[The Matrix]]'', which it preceded. The violent climax is shown in a series of still images, which the camera pans around as if still hand-held.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Billy's friend ''Goon''.

{{quote| '''Goon''': What, you think I'm retarded?~~<br />~~

{{quote|'''Goon''': What, you think I'm retarded?

'''Billy''': Yeah Goon, [[Mathematician's Answer|sometimes I really think you might be.]] }}

* [[The Cameo]]: Mickey Rourke as the bookie and Rosanna Arquette as an old crush.

Line 28:

* [[Humiliation Conga]]: Even before the events of the movie, Billy had an abusive childhood, was teased at school, lost a lot of money to gamblers on a one-in-a-million field goal kick, and spent five years in prison. When he gets out, his parents aren't impressed by the fabricated life or his hot "wife".

* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: Eventually, ''Goon'' hates being called ''Goon'' since that isn't his name and demands people call him Rocky.

{{quote| '''Billy:''' You know why they call you Goon? Because you're retarded. And you're ugly. [[Department of Redundancy Department|You're an ugly retard. And they call you Goon because you're ugly and retarded]]. And you'll always be Goon... Goon, Goon, Goon. And that's what I'm gonna call you for the rest of your life, is Goon. Goon, Goon, Goon, Goon, okay? [[Precision F-Strike|So fuck you]].}}

* [[Imagine Spot]]: A bored Layla tap dancing in the bowling alley. Suddenly, she is literally in the spotlight while a [[King Crimson]] song plays in the background.

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Billy is a huge jerk but we eventually learn he's a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] and has his reasons for being so nasty.

Line 42:

* [[New York State]]: Takes place in Buffalo.

* [[Murder Arson and Jaywalking]]: Billy's threat to Layla:

{{quote| "I'm asking you to come there and make me look good. Alright? And if you make a fool out of me, I swear to God, I'll kill you right there. Boom! Right in front of Mommy and Daddy. And I'll tell you something else, you make me look bad... I will never ever talk to you again, ever. But if you do a good job, well, then you can be my best friend. My best friend that I've ever had. You hear me?"}}

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Billy will insult or threaten Layla or Goon one moment and then apologize and say something sweet the next. At one point, he buys Layla a heart-shaped cookie.

* [[Potty Emergency]]: When Billy is released from prison, he suddenly has to use the restroom. He tries to go back inside the prison to use the facilities but they don't let him back in. He spends the next 10 minutes or so trying to find a restroom, which is how he eventually meets Layla.
