Shoot'Em Up (film)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crosses the Line Twice: Something that Roger Ebert liked about the movie.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: The entire film seems to be an attempt to consist of nothing but attempts at this. Almost any scene could be the climax of a slightly more rational movie.
    • I go with either Smith nailing DQ WHILE killing baddies; the parachute gun-fight; or Smith's finger-bullets
      • I vote for the spanking scene.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Quite a few in the movie. This troper's personal favorite is when Smith conks one of the mooks by shooting the back of a filing cabinet and smashes it into his head. Even Oliver seems to find it amusing.
    • Also, Hertz' failed baby-snipe attempt.

Hertz: (deadpan) Fuck me sideways.

    • "FUCK U"
      • Followed by Hertz's response: "FUCK U TOO"
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: "THE ACE OF SPADES!! THE ACE OF SPAAAADES!!"
    • And don't forget the joker.
    • Nirvana's "Breed" in the first gunfight scene sets the tone of the rest of the movie. And "Joker and the Thief" shortly after.
    • Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart" over the final scene. And never stop.
    • ACDC's "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)" for the skydiving scene.
  • Fetish Fuel: Apparently the actress spanked by Clive Owen in the museum was quite looking forward to the experience.
  • Memetic Mutation: The sex scene is by far the most well-known scene in the movie. Many viewers who watch the scene on video hosting sites have no idea what movie it's from. They just know that it's an absurd[ly awesome] sex scene with Monica Bellucci in it.
  • MST3K Mantra: If you value your cranium, just turn off your brain and enjoy. Seriously.
  • Squick: When Hertz fondles the dead mother.
    • Which then causes him to realize that Smith will need to find the baby a nursemaid.
      • The director laughingly said he hoped that scene won "Best Romantic Moment" at the MTV Movie Awards.
    • Also, when DQ gets the Marilyn Manson wannabe to cooperate with her by ripping his cock-ring out.
    • The fight after the torture scene is made by this trope.
