Hoist by His Own Petard/Film: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Trading Places]]'' the Duke Brothers' are the architects of their own demise. The two "guinea pigs" they choose for their 'experiment' wind up figuring out what's happening and hatching their own plot. The same former guinea pigs use the Dukes' own orange juice market plot against them. Even the hooker they got to help ruin Winthorpe's life and the butler they drafted into their plan wind up playing small roles in bringing them down. Geez, they'd have gotten off easier by just being honest businessmen.

* In any given [[Marx Brothers]] film any dialogue between the two resident [[Pungeon Master|Pungeon Masters]] was likely to end with the quick-witted Chico getting the better of the exasperated Groucho by turning his own wordplay against him.
