''Angel Heart'' is a 1987 horror movie directed by Alan Parker, starring Mickey Rourke, [[Robert De Niro]] and Lisa Bonet. Set in the late 1940's, a private detective (Rourke) is hired by a mysterious client (De Niro) who seeks to find a man named Johnny Favorite. This search leads him to New Orleans, deep in the heart of its voodoo district. What starts off as a simple missing person's case soon excalates into multiple murders and the supernatural.

 

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]. Despite being a [[Complete Monster]], Johnny Favourite was a real ladies man.

* [[Beat Still My Heart]] / [[...And Show It to You]]: Margaret, in a scene yjat is actually {{spoiler|an in-universe [[Call Back]] to what happened to the ''real'' Harry Angel.}}

* [[Best Known for the Fanservice]]: Most people remember this as "the movie where the [[The Cosby Show|Cosby kid]] gets naked". It's unfortunate since the film is an excellent horror/mystery with great performances by everyone involved, including Mickey Rourke and Robert DeNiro.

* [[Tomato in the Mirror]] -- {{spoiler|Mickey Rourke}} Literally, since every time he looks in the mirror, he gets strange feelings.

** Actually pointed about by {{spoiler|Louis.}}

* [[Twist Ending]] -- {{spoiler|Harry Angel 'is' Johnny Favorite.}}

** {{spoiler|Every time Harry becomes the murderous Johnny, it's indicated by a fan stopping and rotating backwards.}}

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]] -- Harry's "thing" with chickens. {{spoiler|After knowing the twist ending, it's [[Fridge Brilliance|possible]] that Harry is afraid of chickens because the blood of a dead chicken was used when Johnny Favorite traded places with him.}}
