Dead to Rights: Difference between revisions

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: F-bombs are all over the place in ''Retribution''.

* [[Creepy Twins]]: A pair of them in the original game as part of a timed boss fight.

* [[Cool Plane]]: Fahook has a bar, a discotheque, a ''pool'' and a harem room full of attack prostitutes on his cargo plane. Does this guy even own a house or does he just live in the plane?

* [[Cowboy Cop]]: Jack Slate don't play by the rules, bitch.

* [[Groin Attack]]: Shadow is way too fond of biting people's crotches.

** There's even an [[Bragging Rights Reward|achievement]] for killing a man by ripping off their balls. It's called "[[Mortal Kombat (Video Game)|Scrotality]]".

* [[Hypocrite]]: The plot in ''Retribution'' focuses on stopping G.A.C., again, but this time because they've taken on the roles of judge, jury, and executioner. However, ''Jack does the same exact thing''. Of ''all'' the enemies in the game, you only arrest ''one''. The rest you just blatantly kill while being a complete asshole. ''Including shooting '''surrendering''' enemies''. Even the [[Bloodier and Gorier]] entry notes that Jack's just murdering his enemies in the most sadistic ways possible. It's honestly surprising that G.A.C. didn't recruit Jack. Or that he's not the villain of the game.

* [[I Lied]]: Jack pulls this on {{spoiler|Julian Temple}} in ''Retribution'', after promising to let him walk if he revealed where {{spoiler|Redwater}} was hiding.

* [[Pyrrhic Victory]]: ''Dead to Rights'': {{spoiler|Jack has avenged his father's murder, but his girlfriend Hildy, his fellow assassin friend Eve, and both candidates running for mayor are dead, and the struggle for power will only continue in the city.}}

** ''Dead to Rights II'': {{spoiler|Congratulations, Jack! You killed [[Big Bad|Blanchov]]! But your girlfriend is dead, the judge you were trying to save all along is dead, and you have no idea where his files are.}}

* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: At the end of the first game (which is chronologically the last), {{spoiler|Jack, after killing pretty much everyone that screwed him over, decides that he can't deal with Grant City anymore, and leaves the city to rot.}}

* [[See You in Hell]]: The end credits sequence for the original Dead to Rights has every villain in the game (all of whom he killed) shouting, "See you in hell, Jack Slate!"

* [[Sequel Hook]]: Rather oddly, despite Jack ending the first game with a big speech about how he's still going to do his part to fight injustice, there has never been an actual sequel, just a prequel and an alternate continuity.

** In ''Retribution'' Jack gives his badge number as B-263-54, the same as [[Blade Runner|Rick Deckard's]].

* [[Sidetracked By the Analogy]]: From the original game:

* [[This Is Sparta]]: From ''Retribution'':

{{quote| '''Jack:''' TELL! ME WHY! MY DAD! IS DEAD!}}

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Redwater in ''Retribution''. And arguably, Jack.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Jack Slate, in the second-to-last level of his original game, has to ride his motorcycle off a cliff to catch up to a departing cargo plane full of gold. He ''jumps off'' the motorcycle, twists in midair, shoots the pursuing motorcycle behind him to make it explode, and uses the force of the shockwave to basically fly like Superman into the cargo plane's open hatch while shooting three enemies with [[Guns Akimbo]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U10zpp2yYFw It's just as ludicrous as it sounds.] Also, as mentioned above, ''one of the end-level bosses is named "Longshoreman X."''
