Line 4:
==== Actor: [[Bob Hoskins]] ====
Grizzled [[Private Detective]] who slipped into alcoholism and developed bitter grudge against Toons after his brother got murdered by one of them when they were investigating a case in Toontown. He is hired to take some dirty pictures about Jessica Rabbit's affair with Marvin Acme, but is pulled into the murder investigation (against his will) after Acme gets murdered and Jessica's husband, Roger is framed for it.
* [[Action Survivor]]: His modus operandi to come out of trouble. He's also a smarter version of this.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: At the beginning of the movie Eddie Valiant has been an alcoholic since his brother was murdered by a Toon, but he drops the habit by the end.
{{quote|'''Police Lieutenant''': Didn't you used to be Eddie Valiant? Or did you change your name to "Jack Daniels"?}}
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Cynical alcoholic with a streak of violent tendencies? Definitely [[Anti-Hero]]. But he does get better once he stops drinking and by end of the movie, he's a lot nicer.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: A typical private investigator - style trenchcoat.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Probably the only one human in among toons with this charateristic. He even manages to {{spoiler|kill Judge Doom himself, who is a toon stronger and taller than him, by spreading dip everywhere}}.
* [[Circus Brat]]: Implied. One of his old photos shows himself, his brother, and his father (dressed as a clown) in front of a circus sign, the frame reads "On the road with Dad". His improvised circus act distraction at the end of the movie also supports this.
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: While Eddie doesn't blame himself about it, his brother's murder is the reason for his bitter hate towards Toons.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Just like a great many [[Film Noir]] heroes.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Defrosting Ice King]]: He starts as a cold and cynical Private Eye at first, but at the halfway point of the movie he becomes more kind and gentle, especially towards the toons.
* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]
* [[Expy]]: Of [[The Big Sleep (film)|Phillip Marlowe]], [[Indiana Jones]] and [[Dick Tracy (comic strip)|Dick Tracy]].
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: In the beginning of the movie ([[Punctuated!
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]
* [[Grumpy Bear]]
* [[Hardboiled Detective]]
* [[The Hero]]: Once he forgets all his bad feelings he's more heroic and kind.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]
Line 41:
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]
* [[Ax Crazy]]: For the most part, a calm, cool, and collected version. {{spoiler|Then he goes [[One-Winged Angel]] and loses it.}}
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: Wearing completely black (A black fedora, a black trenchcoat), and don't forget the cane which has a sword hidden inside it.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Wears one.
* [[Bad Boss]]: He generally slaps the Weasels around
* [[Big Bad]]: Of the movie.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: His entirely gloomy black wardrobe is not the best way to hide his evilness.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Where to ''begin?''
* [[Conspicuous Trenchcoat]]: Wears one, {{spoiler|possibly to hide whatever kind of Toon creature he really is}}.
Line 87:
* [[Visionary Villain]]: He wanted to {{spoiler|erase Toon Town to create a freeway}} and goes to make an epic speech about it.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: What he clamis to be. However, needless to say, it's obvious he's actually a sadist sociopath [[Complete Monster]].
* {{spoiler|[[You Are What You Hate]]: Wants to kill Toons because they're insane, but he's crazier than all of them.}}
=== Roger Rabbit ===
Line 93:
==== Voiced by: Charles Fleischer ====
A cartoon star who gets framed for Marvin Acme's murder because his wife Jessica had an affair with him.
* [[One of the Kids|Adult Child]].
Line 105:
* [[Kavorka Man]]: Not only is he married to quite possibly the hottest toon made, but he seems to be the envy of most Toon females, even [[Betty Boop]]. Jessica explains later that it's because he makes her laugh.
** By Toon standards though, ''Jessica'' is considered the lucky one.
* [[The Lancer]]: To Eddie Valiant.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Leitmotif]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g10jnaOzxdE A playful one].
* [[The Load]]: Roger repeatedly fails to help Eddie crack the case, prove his innocence, or even stay under the radar.
Line 123:
Roger's wife, who has been made into a sex symbol - both in and out of the movie - and seeing what she looks like, it's pretty justified.
* [[The Chick]]
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]
* [[Femme Fatale]]
Line 151:
* [[All There in the Script]]: None of their names are spoken in the movie.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Greasy, of all the gang, has darkest brown fur.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Most notably Psycho.
Line 179:
* [[Nice Hat]]: Greasy and Smart Ass both have fedoras to match their Zoot Suits, Wheezy wears a bowler hat stuffed with cigarettes, and Stupid wears a beanie.
* [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]: They act like the typical incompetent villain - sidekick. However it's clear they are sociopath and evil just like their boss Judge Doom {{spoiler|since they cooperate with him in the genocidal plan to get rid of all their same the toon race}}.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Definetly...
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: All of them to some degree, but especially Psycho.
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Psycho and possibly Stupid.
