Drive Angry: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

Not to be confused with [[Brake Angrily|braking angrily]].

* [[3D Movie]]

* [[Action Girl]]: Piper.

* [[Cardboard Prison]]: It's said that John isn't the first to break out of Hell, and he won't be the last.

** Although it's implied that whenever someone escapes from Hell, someone like the Accountant hunts them down and eventually drags them back. For example, his reply when Piper threatens to kill him in order to stop him from taking Milton:

* [[Car Fu]]

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Several times during the movie, the Accountant transforms a coin into an FBI badge in order to get the police to listen to him. During the final shootout with King's cult, {{spoiler|he uses that coin to [[Improvised Weapon|kill two of King's mooks.]] ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Without]]'' [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|changing it into anything]].}}

** He calls the Accountant by the names of various death-deities throughout the movie. It's possible Milton was simply mocking him.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The Accountant ''really'' enjoys what he does. When he meets a cultist who had his leg blown out by a gun:

* [[Depleted Phlebotinum Shells]]: The ammo the God-Killer uses.

* [[Designated Girl Fight]]: To keep in the spirit of white trash cliches, this happens in a camper.

* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]: The dead and demonic can slowly regenerate damage. The only exception? Wounds from the Godkiller.

* [[Gorn]]: Hands blown off, kneecaps blown out, bullets in the eye... and all in glorious 3D!

* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]: Played with. Point blank while both were standing still, Jonah managed to execute one of his mooks & blow out Milton's eye with a single bullet apiece. When aiming at a windshield four to seven feet away on a car that's currently keeping pace, Jonah ''closes his eyes, turns his head, and unloads as fast as he could.'' Sure, he totals the engine, but come on. This tends to follow with every attempt on the good guys, except for plot points such as Milton shrugging off the cop's torso shot.

** In fairness, he was fanning the hammer as he was firing, which does reduce accuracy to laughabley bad levels.

* [[Ironic Hell]]: There's fire and burning in Hell, but the worst part is that you're forced to watch the suffering of your loved ones, and you're completely unable to do anything about it. Or at least most of the time, as some people apparently [[Like a Badass Out of Hell|get angry enough to break out]].

* [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]]: The Accountant is fond of this.

* [[Kicking Ass and Taking Names]]: Both Milton and the Accountant pull this: Milton mows down a bunch of would-be assassins while having sex, and the Accountant causes a massive explosion in the middle of a roadblock while head-bopping to "that's the way I like it."

* [[Large Ham]]: William Fichtner is clearly having a lot of fun every moment he appears on screen.

* [[Product Placement]]: If you want directions to the hiding place of an evil Satanic cult about to sacrifice an innocent baby, Google Maps is the only way to go.

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: {{spoiler|The Accountant and, surprisingly, even Satan, who simply carry out their duties without malice.}} A possible subversion even, seeing as both are stuck with jobs that ''someone'' has to do, even if people don't like them.

** Although he seems to know exactly when people ''will'' die, which seems to imply that he ''does'' normally guide the souls of the dead to the Afterlife in his regular capacity.

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: {{spoiler|This is how Milton stole the Godkiller. The Accountant is amazed that he managed to steal it, to which Milton replies that he simply walked in and took it.}}

* [[Satan Is Good]]: Not quite, but it seems he's not as bad as he's made out to be. The Accountant describes Satan as being a quiet, well-read man who's simply doing his job as the warden of what is basically the afterlife's prison. Of note, Satan apparently ''hates'' it when {{spoiler|children are sacrificed in his name}}.

* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]:

'''Piper:''' "Between now and then..." (''cracks neck'') "...[[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|I'mma fuck you up]]." }}

* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: In the second half of the movie, Oklahoma police herd Milton and Piper into a roadblock in order to execute them for their earlier cop-killing. Until the protagonists were about to be shot, music was either non-existent or appropriately grim. Then the Accountant drives in from behind the roadblock in [[Made of Explodium|a hydrogen fuel truck]], speeding straight towards the cops and driving through their cars to get to them, explosions abounding. What starts playing? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zu0p7xWLoU ''That's The Way I Like It''] by KC & the Sunshine Band, on the Accountants' radio, while he bobs his head to the music.

* [[Stupid Evil]]: Specifically, violating [[Evil Overlord List Cellblock A|Rule 104]], albeit with a pentagram scar {{spoiler|on [[The Mole|the cultist]] in the Oklahoma police department, as shown by The Accountant.}}
