Determinator/Film: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

* [[Woman Scorned|Alex Forrest]], the character played by Glenn Close in ''[[Fatal Attraction]]''.

* Nana from ''[[Madagascar]]'' and ''Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa'' is a parody of the trope.

** Also in the sequel a [[Super Persistent Predator|shark]] so determined to take a bite at [[Butt Monkey|Mort]] that it chased him onto the shore, across the jungle and ''up a volcano''.

** Also in the sequel a [[Super-Persistent Predator|shark]] so determined to take a bite at [[Butt Monkey|Mort]] that it chased him onto the shore, across the jungle and ''up a volcano''.

* John Creasy from ''[[Man On Fire (Film)|Man On Fire]]''. Being severely wounded with a partially collapsed lung does not deter him from hunting down, torturing and killing the kidnappers of his charge or anyone else involved.

* Ethan Edwards, the Confederate soldier-turned-Indian hunter in ''[[The Searchers]]''.

Line 41:

* Harold Abrahams in [[Chariots of Fire]]: "I'll take them all on, one by one, and run them off their feet."

* Will 'Elizabeth goes free!' Turner in the first ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' movie. He has a one track mind about saving her, and he's certainly not too worried about getting himself killed in the process, to the point that he was one of the inspirations for the [[Martyr Without a Cause]] trope.

* The protagonist of the 2007 remake of ''[[Three Ten to Yuma (Film)|Three Ten to Yuma]]'' certainly doesn't [[Know When to Fold Em]], and it's [[Honor Before Reason|not even about the money]]. No one (maybe even not he himself) knows why he's so determined to keep going until the end, though one reason is to make his son proud of him. He wins everyone over by sheer amazement about his stubborn determination. Not that that's enough to save the day, but pretty close.

* [[Galaxy Quest (Film)|"Never give up, never surrender!"]]

* ''[[Avatar (Film)|Avatar]]''. Quaritch. Good ''God'', Quaritch.
