Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Spaceballs]]'', when Vespa [[Berserk Button|takes a laser beam in the hairdo]], [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|she goes all Rambo and takes an entire platoon out.]]

* Subverted in ''[[Indiana Jones]] And The Last Crusade''. Indy has given his father's Grail Diary to Marcus Brody, an apparently goofy, harmless professor. The villains indicate that Brody will be easy to find, but Indy tells them that Brody fits this trope. {{spoiler|As it turns out, he does not. [[Gilligan Cut|The camera then cuts]] to a scene of Brody in a crowded market, conspicuously wearing the same thing he always does, calling out "does anybody speak English?}}

'''Indiana Jones''': The hell you will. He's got a two day head start on you, which is more than he needs. Brody's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail already. }}

* [[Dustin Hoffman]]'s character in ''[[Straw Dogs]]''.
