Line 36:
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Many, as the movie is set in an AU! Spain. Yet this one takes the prize:
{{quote|'''Puss (Referring to Humpty Dumpty):''' Maldito huevo...}}
** Literally, "Damned egg". Made even better by the fact that huevo is also used as an euphemism for testicle.
** You also get a relatively rare occasion in which the phrase "Holy frijoles!" - often used in a stereotypical fashion in film and TV depictions of Mexicans, or used by non-Mexicans as a generic exclamation in the same context as "Aye Cayrumba!" - is actually uttered by a noted Hispanic actor in a non-stereotypical context.
* [[Blood Brothers]]: Puss and Humpty, [[Blood Oath]] included.
Line 42:
** Puss and Humpty flee San Ricardo with a horse carriage full of gold in both the flashback ''and'' the climax.
* [[Capulet Counterpart]]: Kitty starts out as Puss' rival {{spoiler|and is in on Humpty's plot against him}}, but ultimately ends up as his [[Love Interest]].
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]:
{{quote|'''Puss:'''I should make you into an egg salad sandwich!
'''Humpty:''' Yech! That is disgusting! }}
Line 58:
** In fairness to Puss, he doesn't become aware that she's a girl until after he hits her.
* [[Compelling Voice]]: When Puss goes into adorable kitty mode, the guard is very nearly persuaded into letting him out of jail.
** This troper would argue that that had more to do with Puss's [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]. He does provide the page image, after all.
* [[Cool Mask]]: Kitty has a black luchador-style one.
* [[Cool Sword]]: Puss has an ornate rapier, but Kitty does one better with a size-retractable dagger.
* [[Cub Cues Protective Parent]]: The Goose that lays the Golden Eggs turns out to be the gosling of a gargantuan goose, who is not too keen about having her offspring stolen.
* [[Cute Giant]]: The Golden Goose's mother.
* [[Dance Battler]]: Both Puss and Kitty during their first duel.
Line 71:
'''Kitty:''' What are you gonna do? Hit it in the head with a guitar? }}
* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|Humpty topples off a bridge and supposedly dies, but the epilogue shows that he recovers.}}
* [[Dreamworks Face]]: From Humpty rather than the actual lead.
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Jack and Jill are by all means ruthless bandits, but are [[Happily Married]] and treat their hogs like children.
* [[Evil All Along]]: {{spoiler|Kitty, the drinkers at the bar and the white cat from the start}} were secretly part of the [[Big Bad]]'s scheme. {{spoiler|Also, the [[Big Bad]] was Humpty Dumpty.}}
Line 105:
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: {{spoiler|Humpty.}}
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Both Kitty and Humpty go back on their plan to abandon Puss and San Ricardo.}}
* [[Held Gaze]]: A very short one, as part of the [[Mating Dance]] scene between Puss and Kitty (see example below).
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Humpty sacrifices himself so Puss can save the Golden Goose, and thus San Ricardo from her mother's wrath.}}
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Puss and Humpty, though it gets muddied for... complicated reasons.
Line 118:
* [[Jump Scare]]: A minor one when Humpty says, "Hi, plant" to the little sprout in the desert.
* [[Kirk's Rock]]: The trio pass in front of a creditable rendered version at one point.
* [[Kissing Discretion Shot]]: Finally, after all the UST between the two, Kitty and Puss finally kiss. {{spoiler|Which is hidden behind Puss's hat which Kitty lifts off his head and holds over their faces. Likely done just the give the two some privacy, though they hadn't really been discreet about their attraction before.}} Could also count as a (covered up) [[The Big Damn Kiss]], because of the dramatic lighting behind them.
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes|Kitty Cat Eyes]]: Naturally. At one point, it borders on [[Compelling Voice]], as Puss uses them to get a guard to do what he wants.
* [[Latin Lover]]: Puss prides himself as quite the [[Casanova]].
* [[Like a Son to Me]]/[[Parental Substitute]]: Imelda and Puss' relationship.
* [[Masked Luchador]]: Kitty wears a mask like this.
* [[Mating Dance]]: There is a quite passionate and fast paced one between Kitty and Puss {{spoiler|after they retrieve the golden chick from the castle}}, they literally can barely keep their hands(/paws) off each other! Complete with with a [[Almost Kiss]] and even a [[Held Gaze]] moment.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kitty Softpaws can rob you blind {{spoiler|and literally has no claws.}}
* [[Meet Cute]]: Despite the fact they were {{spoiler|(so it seemed)}} preparing to fight to the death (and the fact guitar clubbing was included), the first real time {{spoiler|Kitty and Puss meet, they seem to have easily over looked that fact, and Puss later expresses his regret over the guitar.}}
* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: As it turns out, Puss's hat and boots.
* {{spoiler|[[Monster Is a Mommy]]: The guardian of the golden goose is actually her gigantic mother. Humpty knew this and stole the goose to bring her mother's wrath down upon San Ricardo.}}
Line 142:
* [[The One Who Wears Shoes]]: Both Puss and Kitty Softpaws own a pair of boots.
* [[Orphanage of Love]]: Imelda.
* [[Outlaw Couple]]: Jack and Jill.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Humpty attempts to blend in with the golden eggs in a gold bodysuit. Unfortunately the actual eggs are ''barely a foot wide''. The goose buys into it at least once, though.
** {{spoiler|And not without good reason.}}
Line 165:
** Puss has mastered [[Zoolander|the Magnum...]] [[Trailers Always Lie|But only in the trailer.]]
** "The first rule of Bean Club is [[Fight Club|you do NOT talk about Bean Club.]]"
** Puss facing off with a highly competent imitator who turns out to be female, which happens with Jack Sparrow in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: On Stranger Tides.'' This dips into [[Actor Allusion]] as both ladies are played by [[Salma Hayek]] and [[PenelopePenélope Cruz]], known for being best friends in real life. For that matter, both scenes lead into a [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]] moment.
** [[Bolt|Kitty Softpaws is a black-and-white stray who was declawed.]]
** "There is only one word for you... [[Monsters vs. Aliens|me-WOW."]]
Line 190:
** Puss's [[Overly Long Gag]] with sipping the leche. ...he still does it in the actual movie, but it's no longer a long gag, and he doesn't say, "I'm still thirsty" after finishing.
** The running gag with the cat that goes "Ooh...!" has him taking his hand out of his mouth after Puss scolds him, which doesn't happen in the actual movie.
* [[True Companions]]: Puss and Humpty, when they were kids, and considered each other "brothers". Not so much in the present, though Humpty tries to get it back {{spoiler|or at least pretends to, in order to take revenge. However, Puss manages to appeal to the good still in him, and they seem to be friends again right before Humpty's death.}}
* [[Two Guys and a Girl]]: Puss, Humpty, and Kitty form this dynamic.
* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: {{spoiler|Humpty Dumpty.}}
Line 204:
* [[Where It All Began]]: The story eventually leads back to Puss' hometown of San Ricardo. Of course, this turns out to be intentional, {{spoiler|as part of Humpty's revenge plot}}.
* [[Who's Laughing Now?]]: Invoked word for word (barring the accent) when the castle in the clouds is proven to be real.
* [[Xanatos Roulette]]: {{spoiler|EVERY event up to the climax at San Ricardo was Humpty's gambit for revenge.}}
* [[You Are Better Than You Think You Are]]: The [[Arc Words]] for this movie.
