Willow (1988 film): Difference between revisions

** This is pulled on the good guys' ''entire army'' near the climax.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Played for laughs when Llug discovers Madmartigan's true gender.

'''Madmartigan''': Gentlemen, meet Llug. }}

** Llug then spends the entire barfight continuing his rant. Hilarious.

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: {{spoiler|Sorsha}}.

* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Madmartigan, in a hasty attempt to avoid the wrath of his paramour's husband. The trope is furthered by the husband's sudden lust for Madmartigan.

'''Madmartigan''': Tempting, but... ''no''. }}

* [[Dissonant Laughter]]: When {{spoiler|Finn Raziel gets the better of Bavmorda during their fight at the end}}, she gives a laugh that's downright ''creepy'', suggesting that, even if she was a good person, maybe her motives here weren't so noble.

* [[Fanfare]]

* [[Fantastic Slurs]]:

'''Mad Martigan''': Oh, I'm sorry. Peck. Peck. Peck, Peck, Peck, Peck, Peck! }}

** "HELP!! THERE'S A PECK HERE WITH AN ACORN POINTED AT ME!!"

* [[Meaningful Name]]: A clever one. Madmartigan claims he serves "no one". Later, he says he serves "the Nelwyn", which is very similar to "no one".

* [[Mistaken Age]]: We are told that {{spoiler|Fin Raziel is a young beautiful woman after Madmartigan asks her what she actually looks like. However it seems exile in her animal form has made her grasp of the years gone by tragically wrong}}.

** Either that or, because she was in an animal form, she may have aged like an animal.

*** They should have picked up on it instantly - Bavmorda and {{spoiler|Fin Raziel}} were contemporaries.

* [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]

* [[Sexual Karma]]: Madmartigan [[Paper-Thin Disguise|Paper Thin Disguises]] himself as a woman to dodge an angry husband, only to catch the hulking oaf's eye (which is pretty darn chauvinist of him, considering he barged into the room in a jealous rage). [[Hilarity Ensues]].

'''Madmartigan''': ''Tempting, but... [["No. Just... No" Reaction|no]].'' }}

** It ''does'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqh3tMZhOXQ work out for him] when [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|Sorsha]] shows up and [[We Need a Distraction|He Needs A Distraction.]]

'''Lug''': '''''[[Megaton Punch|RRRAAARGH!]]''''' }}

* [[Skeletons in the Coat Closet]]: General Kael’s helmet.

** Bavmorda and Raziel were both servants of the spirits, Bavmorda just let her power go to her head.

* [[The Unfettered]]: Villainous General Kael is utterly unfazed in the face of not only facing an arriving enemy army but a monstrous two headed dragon. They are simply obstacles to destroy.

* [[Unholy Nuke]]: Bavmorda wants to use a ritual whose end is to ''wipe the victim away from existence''.

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Madmartigan after {{spoiler|Airk is killed by Kael}}.
