Monumental Theft: Difference between revisions

Line 46:
* In ''[[Despicable Me]]'', {{spoiler|Vector}} manages to steal a pyramid of Giza and replace it with a giant pyramid-shaped balloon. Not to be outdone, for most of the movie, Gru concocts a plan to steal ''the moon''. (Admittedly after shrinking it to the size of a basketball.)
* Another phenomenal movie thief would be [[Fat Bastard]] in ''[[Austin Powers]]: The Spy Who Shagged Me''. He poses as a guard, sneaks up to the cryogenic tube in which Austin's naked body is frozen and employs a giant syringe to literally steal Austin's sexual energy (or "mojo"), which here is depicted in the material world as an icky red substance that looks a bit like melted licorice. Following this theft, Austin (in 1999) is in bed with a woman and suddenly discovers that - for the first time in his life - he is unable to make love.
* The plot of ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]'' hinges on an entire ''galaxy'' being held hostage by extraterrestrial terrorists. {{spoiler|(Of course, since it's a microcosmic galaxy only about the size of a marble, this is not as difficult as one might think.)}}
