== Has Examples of ==
* [[Acoustic License]]: Played straight and averted. Sometimes, people communicate plane-to-plane via morse code, as they did in real life. Other times, they simply shout, which in real life would have been impossible.
* [[Affably Evil]]: Curtis, and even [[A Lighter Shade of Grey|"evil" is debatable]]; he's more of just [[The Rival]] to Porco as a pilot and [[The
* [[A
* [[Author Appeal]]: Miyazaki ''loves'' Italy and aviation (see [[Meaningful Name]]).
* [[Badass Mustache]]: Porco Rosso has one.
Line 34:
* [[Glamorous Wartime Singer]]: Gina.
* [[Good Old Fisticuffs]]: What the epic air fight between Porco and Curtiss boils down to after both their guns fail.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Most of the pirate bosses have nasty-looking facial scars.
* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]:
** [[Gratuitous French]]: The song "Les Temps de Cerises" ("The Time of Cherries") although it's a good song and fits the scene well.
Line 53:
* [[Olive Garden]]: Every stereotype you know about pre-WWII Italy is milked, although it's done so well you can't complain.
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Fio.
* [[Pun
* [[The Power of Love]]: What inspires Porco to [[Heroic Second Wind|get up and win the fight]], {{spoiler|and may be what turns him back into a man. Though perhaps Porco simply let go of his cynicism. Damn you, ambiguous endings!}}
* [[Precocious Crush]]: 17-year-old Fio having a crush on the more [[Vague Age|middle-aged]] Porco.
Line 73:
* [[Ugly Guys Hot Daughter|Ugly Guy's Hot Female Family Members]]: Piccolo.
* [[Unfortunate Names]]: When your gang's name (Mamma Aiuto) means "Help me, Mommy!", you're not going to get much respect.
* [[The Un
** The origin of Porco's curse, though his guilt stemming from {{spoiler|the death of his best friend (and Gina's late husband) in }}the war may be the cause of it. It serves more as a symbol of his disillusionment and cynicism than anything else.
** {{spoiler|At the film's end, Porco's curse has broken and Curtis sees his human face, but it is never revealed to the audience. Fio does give us a brief look when she's half-asleep and Porco is seated at a table checking cartridges}}. At least, that is the implication.
*** {{spoiler|It's seen earlier, in the photo in the bar. The unreveal is whether or not it's turned back.}}
* [[Wall Crawl]]: Curtis seems to be surprisingly good at this, scaling the walls of Gina's garden, and descending the cliff into Porco's Island hideout.
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]: For everyone ''except'' Porco. This is presumably to keep it ambiguous on {{spoiler|whether or not he actually became human again and with which woman girl he ended up.}}
* [[Wife Husbandry]]: Isn't Fio a ''little'' young for Curtis?
** She is 17, and Curtis can't be much older if he still looks young in the 1940s.
* [[Wimp Fight]]: Porco's and Curtis' air duel/boxing match quickly devolves into this: by the end of six rounds both men are so tired they don't even try to block each other's punches.
* [[Wrench Wench]]: Fio and Piccolo Aviation's all-female workforce.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Played with. Fio suggests that if she [[True
