North by Northwest/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Awesome Music: Bernard Herrmann strikes again.
  • Fridge Logic: If you're going to lure somebody to the middle of nowhere to kill him, why not do a drive-by instead of having a minion attack him from a plane? Hitchcock himself acknowledged the scene makes no sense, but justified it since nobody notices while watching the film.
    • Hitchcock himself developed a case of it for the scene where Eve and Leonard covertly talk using two phones at an airport. He held off filming the scene for a while, then apparently came up with a way it was possible and shot it, though he never told anyone what it was.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: The cropduster scene.
  • Misaimed Marketing: Movie theaters reportedly gave children coloring pages of such scenes as Roger getting chased by the crop duster and Eve hanging off of Mount Rushmore.
