Law Abiding Citizen: Difference between revisions

* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: the camera cuts away as Clyde begins his work on Darby, at least, in the theatrical version. The Director's Cut doesn't cut away...

* [[Groin Attack]]: Offscreen, but...

* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: Clyde.

* {{spoiler|[[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: Clyde is warned not to remotely activate his last bomb. He does so anyway, only to realize it was moved close enough to kill him.}}

** Averted seconds later, {{spoiler|when he resigns himself to his fate, and utterly keeps his calm even with super napalm filling his cell.}}

* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: A couple times, [[Gerard Butler]] falls into a little of his native Scottish.

'''Clyde:''' {{spoiler|[removing his disguise] Cuz yew kelled them.}} }}

* [[Product Placement]]: Nick's understudy uses a Mac (apparently running Windows), and in one scene the staff prominently rolls in large amounts of Pepsi and Dunkin' Donuts.

** "The ''presumption of innocence'' is bad, because this guy who we, the audience, know committed a crime is being granted bail before his trial."

* [[Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred]]: Potentially Clyde's motive (well, it's either that or he's genuinely an [[Omnicidal Maniac]]). Particularly suggested by this exchange;

* [[Time Skip]]: after the sentencing of Darby, cue to 10 years later.

* [[Title Drop]]: Clyde in court, arguing to be granted bail.

* [[To the Pain]]: Clyde goes into great detail about everything he is doing and is about to do to Darby.

* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: Clyde's past as a {{spoiler|government weapon designer and "executive action" mastermind}} isn't revealed for over half the movie. The reveal itself is in the trailer, along with {{spoiler|the Judge's execution, the mass car bombing, the drone attack in the cemetery and Clyde's napalm-induced end.}}
