Sleepy Hollow (film): Difference between revisions

* [[Dragged Off to Hell]]: {{spoiler|Lady van Tassel's fate with the Hessian.}}

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Used by the Hessian, to great effect, and Brom, not so much.

* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: According to the [[DVD Commentary|director's commentary]] on the DVD, during the scene in the church where the doctor is killed by a blow to the head, they accidentally hit Ian McDiarmid so hard that he ended up having to go to hospital.

* [[Everything's Better With Spinning|Everything's Better With Spinning:]] The Horseman has a habit of spinning his weapons during battles.

* [[In Name Only]]: Pretty much. In the Irving's story, Ichabod Crane was a school teacher who fully believed in ghosts, and the headless horseman never went on a killing spree.

* [[Innocent Bystander]]: Ichabod survives many encounters with the Horseman on account of this. The Horseman is shown to ignore anyone who doesn't directly interfere with his taking heads or doesn't get in his way. [[Too Dumb to Live|Not that Brom listened...]]

** To be fair, this was not an uncommon fate for windmills of the time, minus the hell-monster part. [[The More You Know|Flour is surprisingly flammable.]]

* [[It's Quiet... Too Quiet]]: Note to city slickers: Forests are supposed to be noisy.

** He still manages to work in a handful of girly whimpers and gasps here and there.

* [[Seeking Sanctuary]]: ''Almost'' works...

** ''[[The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad]]'' has at least three: the toads by the bridge croaking "Ichabod", a (fake) Horseman throwing a flaming pumpkin on Ichabod and Ichabod suddenly realizing he's on the horse of the Headless one.

*** The fact that Brom disguises himself as the Horseman to freak out Ichabod would count as well.
