Drive Angry: Difference between revisions

----

=== '''Tropes found in this film are:''' ===

* [[Action Girl]]: Piper.

* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Milton.

* [[Running Gag]]: The Accountant telling various evil people that he'll see them again, with various amounts of time attached to it. Implying that that's how long they have to live, and they are going to hell.

* [[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}}.

{{quote| '''Jonah King:''' "I've changed my mind about you Piper; you are too willful to be taught. I am going to kill you, and then I'm going to defile your corpse."<br />

* [[Shout Out]]: [[Paradise Lost|John Milton]].

* [[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.

* [[Trailers Always Lie]]: The trailer depicts The Accountant as being the main villain when it is actually Jonah (the cult leader who kidnapped Milton's granddaughter). The Accountant is mainly there to get Milton back into Hell.

** They also implied that Jonah was the one who killed Milton and that the baby was his daughter, not his granddaughter.

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Subverted. Piper pulls a come-hither move on a bar employee and tells Milton she's off to "paint her nails." Cut to the bar guy literally painting her toenails; he even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it by asking, "Are we going to do it?" However, this could arguably be a form of foreplay.

** Well, she did initially tell him that it would depend on how well he would do her nails...

** "Aim for their tires."

* {{spoiler|[[White and Grey Morality]]: The Accountant and Milton basically have the same goals, the Accountant is just more manipulative and takes a little time to come around to Milton's point of view.}}
