Line 9:
* [[Action Hero]] - played by [[Tom Cruise]], of course.
* [[Action Survivor]] - June, for most of the movie.
* [[Adrenaline Makeover]] - played straight and subverted; June Havens certainly [[Took a Level
* [[Adorkable]] - Roy and Simon.
* [[Adult Child]] - Roy again.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Cruise plays Roy Miller as basically the loonier side of [[Jerry Maguire]] (think "help me help you!") crossed with the tireless [[Crazy Awesome]] secret agent [[Mission: Impossible (film)||Ethan Hunt]].
* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]] - {{spoiler|Roy Miller's private island in the Azores is attacked ''and blown up''.}}
* [[Always Save the Girl]] - subverted: {{spoiler|June deliberately gets herself kidnapped so that she can get back together with Roy, assuming that he'll save her. He does, but he has no idea that she's there at the time, as he's around for a completely different reason.}} He does take a moment in the middle of a firefight to step out from cover and kiss her when she guilt talks him into it, though.
Line 36:
* [[Contract on the Hitman]]
* [[Deadfoot Leadfoot]] - causing one of the [[Badass Driver]] incidents.
* [[Dueling Movies]] - Came out around the same time as ''[[Killers]]'' and while their plots are not identical, they are similar enough that the general public noticed the oddity of their close release dates. As to which of the two is the better film...YourMileageMayVary.
* [[Escape Convenient Boat|Escape Convenient Plane]]
* [[Fight Magnet]] - given that [[MacGuffin|the Zephyr]] is being hunted by everyone from a covert ops organization to Spanish gun runners, it's not too surprising.
Line 49:
* [[It's Always Mardi Gras in New Orleans|It's Always San Fermin In Spain]]: Don't worry about getting the right town either.
* [[A Load of Bull]]
* [[Lodged Blade Recycling]]: June accidentally impales an assassin with a knife, followed by the assassin pulling it out of himself to attack June with.
* [[Made of Iron]] - The assassin on the train. ''Wow.'' Most of the stuff is just standard movie things, until he gets stabbed in the chest with a ''knife''! The assassin also [[
{{quote|'''Simon:''' Just ''die'' already!}}
* [[Mangst]]
{{quote|'''Roy''': "That hurt more than I thought it would."}}
* [[Meet Cute]]: Faked by Roy to get an item through customs via the unwitting June.
* [[Mistaken for Badass]] - June, by the spy agency. Later on, though, [[Took a Level
* [[Neutral Female]] - June, but not during the action sequences; she's actually this during much of the ''plot'', being very decidedly on one side or the other when action breaks out.
* [[Nice Guy]] - Roy, even when thrown into walls by super-strong Assassins, is a soft-spoken gentleman who does not curse or use swear words ''once'' throughout the entire movie. In one of the heart-warmeyer moments of the film, Roy has left June a note saying he was happy to have met her, and a second, reminding her to 'Eat a good breakfast, June'. He'd left her an omelette.
* [[No Escape but Down]] - {{spoiler|and into the river.}}
* [[No One Could Survive That]] - {{spoiler|Roy, after falling into the river. Every one assumes him to be dead despite never finding a body}}.
Line 67:
* [[Rasputinian Death]]: Lampshaded.
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]] - Constant action, check; spy games, check; explosions, check; firefights, check; Cameron Diaz in a bikini...
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]] - Roy and June, naturally.
* [[Shoot the Fuel Tank]]
* [[Sic Em]]
Line 75:
* [[Theme Naming]] - June and her sister April.
* [[Time Bomb]] - only there's no visible counter, and the object in question isn't actually supposed to be one.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Toros Y Flamenco]]: They had the decency to shoot in the real Spain, but then put [[It's Always Mardi Gras in New Orleans|the running of the bulls]] [[You Fail Geography Forever|in Seville]]...
* [[Trailers Always Lie]]: Many of the scenes in the official trailer never actually made it into the movie.
