Popeye (film): Difference between revisions

* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]: It's clear from Popeye's stories from his childhood that pap was ''not'' a good father, even before he abandoned him. It's all [[Played for Laughs]], since Popeye seems to either be in denial or is trying to make excuses for his father.

{{quote|"One thing I remember about me pap was that he always used to throw me up in the air. Yeah, heh heh... but he'd never be there when I come down, you know. Heh heh heh. Boy, he had a sensek'a humor, didn't he? Yeah, that was me pap. I remember the time he gave me a electric eel as a toy. Hah hah hah -- ''eep!'' Hah, yeah, that was fun. Or, or he'd rock me cradle real, real, real hard and I'd lose me formula. And then he'd say 'One day, you'll be a sailor.' Heh heh heh, that's... that's what I yam today, yeah. Hm. Yeah. Sometimes he'd bounce me on his knee. Heh heh, most o' the time he'd miss, though, 'cos he couldn't see too well with one eye.... heh heh heh, oh, me pap, yeah..."}}

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Poopdeck Pappy comes across as a genuine [[Jerkass]] at first, but towards the end proves to have had a heart all along.

* [[Mickey Mousing]]: all the fighting is choreographed like an elaborate dance, like one of the old Popeye shorts where he'd line 'em up and knock 'em down.

* [[Typecasting]]: Shelley Duvall is the only actress on Earth who could nail the role of Olive Oyl.

* [[Villain Song]]: "I'm Mean".
