Paint the Town Red: Difference between revisions

 

== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==

* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', this is Scar's calling card. And it later becomes commonplace for {{spoiler|Wrath/King Bradley}}.

* Zoro from ''[[One Piece]]'' revels in this trope.

* In ''[[Hellsing]]'', this is Alucard's favorite activity. {{spoiler|Seras}} invokes this trope once, {{spoiler|literally smearing her opponent all over a wall.}}

* Often used to imply or enhance the amount of incredible violence that the Angels and EVAs are capable of in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', most memorably when {{spoiler|Gendo orders the autopilot to take over and destroy the EVA being piloted by Touji after an Angel hijacks it}}.

** In the second ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'' movie, Sahaquiel's death is changed so that the Angel explodes into a gigantic wave of blood, which then washes over Tokyo-3. One must wonder how long it took to clean all that up.

 

== [[Film]] ==

* Literal example in [[Clint Eastwood]]'s ''[[High Plains Drifter]]''. When the protagonist takes over the duties of sheriff, he has the town painted red and renamed Hell ''before'' the shooting starts.

* The first [[The Gamers|Gamers]] film had a rather spectacular example from the [[Ludicrous Gibs]] side of this trope, after Nimble decides to backstab Hunk. With a ballista.
