Max Payne (series)/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Game

  • Fridge Brilliance: The nightmare levels in the first game were the Scrappy Level for some people, especially the part where you have to try and follow the blood trail. But the thing is, only that way could they have been made to feel like nightmares. They have to be frightening and unpleasant to play.
  • Why does Max use painkillers to heal himself? Because he is using painkillers to stop Payne killers.

Film

  • Fridge Logic: If Valkyr has such high propablity of causing horrible Hallucinations, then why is it such a big hit on the streets?
    • It apparently makes you feel fucking awesome before the hallucinations set in.
      • It's also possible consider the trippy portion of the drug to be a selling point. Some of the druggies seem to think the Valkyries are pretty cool.
  • Not really Fridge Logic but maybe Fridge Horror. Max is going to spend the rest of his life behind bars for killing those dozens of security guards isn't he? He doesn't even know Nicole Horne is responsible in this universe.
    • Nah, Max gets away with it (somehow) and is after Nicole Horne after the credits.
