Knight and Day: Difference between revisions

* [[Always Save the Girl]] - subverted: {{spoiler|June deliberately gets herself kidnapped so that she can get back together with Roy, assuming that he'll save her. He does, but he has no idea that she's there at the time, as he's around for a completely different reason.}} He does take a moment in the middle of a firefight to step out from cover and kiss her when she guilt talks him into it, though.

* [[Angrish]] - June's reactions in much of the first half of the movie.

{{quote| "Sorry, reflex. Hit me again; I won't dodge this time."}}

* [[Badass Driver]] - ''both'' Roy and June. June manages to pull off some amazing moves going the wrong way on the highway while controlling a runaway car from the back seat reaching over the corpse of the former driver - Roy calls her a "natural."

* [[Guns Akimbo]]

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] - {{spoiler|Roy, taking a bullet for Simon. He survives, though.}}

* [[Incredibly Obvious Tail]]

* [[Ironic Echo]]: Roy's lines to June when they were alone on the island are altered and repeated to him by June at the end of the film.

* [[A Load of Bull]]

* [[Lodged Blade Recycling]]: June accidentally impales an assassin with a knife, followed by the assassin pulling it out of himself to attack June with.

* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]] - Roy's antics when June is drugged, because we're following her point of view.

* [[The Plan]]- Roy's many, many plans.

* [[Protectorate]] - Simon and the Zephyr (which is a [[Good Name for A Rock Band]])

* [[Rasputinian Death]]: Lampshaded.

* [[Time Bomb]] - only there's no visible counter, and the object in question isn't actually supposed to be one.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: {{spoiler|June, by the end of the film.}}

* [[Trailers Always Lie]]: Many of the scenes in the official trailer never actually made it into the movie.

* [[Train Escape]] - streetcars, actually, but no less awesome.

* [[Underestimating Badassery]] - although, given that Roy's being chased by his own organization, they ''should'' know better.

* [[You Are Too Late]] - literally. {{spoiler|The bad guy takes off in a plane with the highly sought after [[MacGuffin|Zephyr battery]], pausing only to take a shot at Simon.}}

* [[You Fail Physics Forever]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]], but not at first. The Zephyr is presented as a true perpetual motion machine - it will ''never'' run out of energy, ever. However, over the course of the film, the battery slowly builds up heat and eventually explodes, {{spoiler|taking out the villain in his moment of triumph}}. Despite Roy's reassurance to Simon that "[he's] a smart kid - [he'll] figure it out," he clearly won't: The audience knows this, but Roy doesn't, meaning ''he'' still fails physics.
