Line 20:
** Harry also has trouble killing {{spoiler|Ken without a fight}}.
** Nobody wants to have a shootout around a bunch of civilians, and Ray and Harry take great pains to accommodate a pregnant woman who won't leave the room.
* [[Anti
* [[Anti
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Okay, we don't really know if Harry killed the {{spoiler|[[Jerkass]] tower guard}} but it is highly probable that he did. Either way, he definitely had it coming.
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|Attention Deficit Ooh they're filming midgets!]]
Line 30:
* [[Black Comedy]]: From that black part of the light spectrum that only the [[Coen Brothers]] can see.
* [[Call Back]]: Ken and Harry aren't allowed in the tower because {{spoiler|"an American had a heart attack."}}
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Averted - it is precisely because the Canadians don't fit the stereotypes of Canadians, nor speak with particularly pronounced accents, that Ray mistakes them for Americans.
* [[Career Killers]]: Ken, Ray, Harry.
* [[Chekhov's Armoury]] - {{spoiler|Between Harry's honor code against killing children, his purchase of "dum-dums" and the prevalence of the midget, there's quite a lot of [[Foreshadowing]] of the ending.}}
Line 37:
** And that's forgetting {{spoiler|the tower custodian refusing to take Ken's just-short spare change.}}
** The {{spoiler|Canadian}} that Ray hits, the fat Americans that go to the top of the tower and the gun Ray steals from Chloe/Erik.
* [[Cluster F
{{quote| "Geez, he swears a lot, don't he?"}}
** The DVD contains all the profanity in the movie [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDyEbUUpiLc edited into a single montage]. Despite very rapid editing, it runs over a minute and a half.
Line 66:
* [[Go Through Me]]
* [[Grievous Bottley Harm]]: "In my book, though, [[Foreshadowing|someone comes at you with a bottle]], I'm sorry, that is a deadly weapon, he's gotta take the consequences."
* [[Hair
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Despite being shot in the leg and neck, Ken manages to climb back up to the bell tower and jump to the ground, alerting Ray to Harry's presence.}}
* [[Hey
** A deleted scene has [[Doctor Who (TV)|Eleventh Doctor]] [[Matt Smith]], as a younger Harry, {{spoiler|decapitate}} a policeman named Potter, in a 1970s police station. Or, to phrase it differently, "Harry, as The Doctor, kills Potter, years before he was Voldemort, in the setting of [[Life On Mars]]."
** The Canadian Ray hits is Zeljko Ivanek, who played the governor on ''[[Oz]]'', the Magister on ''[[True Blood]]'' and Prosecutor Ed Danvers in ''[[Homicide Life On the Street]]''. As well as [[Heroes (TV)|Danko]], and the shooter from "Last Resort" on ''[[House (TV)|House]]''.
Line 95:
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: Ken trying to make five Euro out of his coins to avoid having to break a bill.
* [[Prank Date]]: Naturally, it doesn't go according to plan.
* [[Precision F
* [[Pregnant Badass]]: Marie, the hotel owner. While not kicking huge amounts of ass in the traditional sense, she shows enormous courage, standing up to an armed man and refusing to let him upstairs.
* [[Pretty Little Headshots]]: Played straight with regular bullets. Avoided when the [[Your Head Asplode|"dum-dums"]] get used.
Line 117:
* [[That Makes Me Feel Angry]]: Evidently McDonagh could think of no more elegant way of letting the audience know that Ken likes Bruges than having him look out across Bruges and say to himself "I like it here."
* {{spoiler|[[The Hero Dies]]: Not explicitly shown, but he does get shot an unpleasantly high number of times in a rather important area of the torso, so it's a pretty good bet he's dead by the time the credits are finished.}}
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: The Conversation between Harry and Eirik at Yuri's house
* [[Title Drop]]: Sort of.
{{quote| '''Ray''': Maybe that's what hell is, the entire rest of eternity spent in fucking Bruges.}}
