Even Evil Has Standards/Film: Difference between revisions

'''Scar''': Oh Zazu, do lighten up. Sing something with a little "bounce" in it.<br />

'''Zazu''': Ahem. [[Disney Theme Parks|It's a small world after all-]]<br />

** Also in the original, the [[Mooks|hyenas]] become resentful of Scar's reign after he drives the Pride Lands into ruin and starvation. And after Scar is overthrown by Simba, the hyenas, having been inadvertently betrayed, use this as an opportunity to get back at him for it and satisfy their hunger all at the same time.

* In ''[[Rango]]'', {{spoiler|The mayor}} is so corrupt that even Rattlesnake Jake, who claims to be "from hell itself" and is arguably a form of [[The Grim Reaper]], {{spoiler|does off with him.}} Rattlesnake Jake also mentions he hates liars.

* In ''[[Boogie Nights]]'' Jack Horner does not object to the Colonel's affairs with 15 year old girls, but disowns him when it is revealed that he's been caught with nude photos of prepubescent children.

* In ''[[The Rocketeer (Film)|The Rocketeer]]'', {{spoiler|1=gangster Eddie Valentine turns on the film's [[Big Bad]], Neville Sinclair, after learning that Sinclair is working for the Nazis. As Eddie puts it, [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|"I may not make an honest buck, but I'm 100% American!"]] followed by a ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]]'' scene with a mobster and an FBI agent firing at Nazis, looking at each other, shrugging, then [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V7CD13Nxro going back to killing Nazis]. This was also a moment of [[Truth in Television]], since organized crime was possibly one of the biggest allies the American government and law enforcement had when it came to rooting out Nazi spies and collaborators. The mob ''hated'' the Nazis.}}

* Tony "[[Scarface]]" Montana, gangster and druglord, refuses to kill [[Men Are the Expendable Gender|women]] and children, and only kills "People dumb enough to fuck with him".

* Leon from ''[[Leon]]'' a.k.a. ''[[The Professional]]''

* Brazilian horror film icon Zé do Caixão, AKA Coffin Joe in other countries, is a complete sadist whose hideous acts include murder, torture and rape. Surprisingly however, he is utterly disgusted with the idea of violence being used on children, as he believes they are only the gracious thing that mankind has to offer. This even guaranteed him a [[Villainous BSOD]] in one film when he learns that one of the girls he kidnapped and murdered earlier was pregnant.

* Treadstone is supposed to have transformed [[The Bourne Series|Jason Bourne]] into the ultimate assassin, but the climax of the first film reveals that {{spoiler|he failed an assignment because he couldn't bring himself to shoot a father while his kids were watching, possibly because [[Harmful to Minors|killing the man in front of his children would mean that he'd have to kill the kids too because they'd be witnesses]].}} Notably, the second film reveals that he had no such compunction against {{spoiler|killing a target and his ''wife'' and making it look like a murder-suicide.}}

* John Lee in ''The Replacement Killers'' gets himself in trouble with crime leader Terence Wei after developing a conscience in time to prevent him from completing the third assignment, killing a police officer's adolescent son with the officer/father hugging him.

* The crazed policeman neighbor in ''[[Lakeview Terrace]]'' does everything in his power to bully and terrorize his young, newlywed neighbors out of a deep seated dislike of their mixed-race marriage. However, when he realizes that he's inadvertently put them in a situation where one of them is likely to be killed, he's sane enough to know things have gone too far and quickly rushes over to rectify things. He loses major points, though, because a few weeks later he ends up putting himself in a situation where ''he'' has to kill the neighbors he just saved or be exposed for his crimes.
