Hair-Trigger Temper: Difference between revisions

** Conspiracy Brother doth protest too much. He actually ''does'' spend a lot of his time smoking pot. His paranoia is in no small amount due to this.

* Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) in ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'' is an unbalanced ex-Vietnam soldier with serious rage issues who will pull a gun over a bowling league dispute.

** Interestingly, among the cut scenes was a discussion revealing that Walter was never actually in 'Nam; his habit of bringing it up is just a shallow attempt to excuse his own issues since the number of people likely to actually contest that point in the face of Walter losing his shit is almost nil (basically just Jeff Lebowski).

* In the film ''[[Primal Fear (film)|Primal Fear]]'', a plot point is that Aaron Stampler, a stuttering boy accused of brutally murdering an abusive archbishop, when under enough stress, switches into another sociopathic persona named Roy, a textbook example of this trope. At the very end of the movie, it's revealed that {{spoiler|Aaron not only murdered the archbishop and another girl, but he had made up the Aaron personality to win the case, establishing himself as a [[Manipulative Bastard]] and [[Complete Monster]]}}.
