Line 20:
* [[The Aggressive Drug Dealer]] -- It doesn't get more aggressive than trying to inject a little girl personally! Even better, no reason is given for ''why'' he wants to get everybody (especially children) addicted to drugs. He just wants to.
* [[All There in the Script]] -- Joe Pesci's character is named "Mr. Big" in the credits, but is not referred to as such via dialogue. The villain reveals his name is "Frankie Lideo" early on (an in-joke; Jackson's manager at the time was Frank DiLeo...who later played a character nicknamed Mr. Big in the first ''[[Wayne's World]]'' movie), but no one else refers to him by name.
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: Michael wears one in the "Smooth Criminal" segment.
* [[BFG]] -- Being a drug dealer, it makes sense that Frankie has a [[Wave Motion Gun]] the size of a building, hidden behind a retractable mountainside. Which is controlled using hand cranks. Yes.
* [[Broken Aesop]] -- "Man in the Mirror" is about making the world a better place, with visuals focusing on peacemaking and charity. It's harder to take that seriously when "Smooth Criminal" has Michael shooting off a machine gun during the sequence in Club 30s and blowing up all the villains in the climax.
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
* [[In Medias Res]] -- "Smooth Criminal" opens in the city with Mr. Big's goons gunning Michael down (or so they think); we then [[Flash Back]] to how Michael and Katie discovered his scheme.
* [[Large Ham]] -- Joe Pesci as Mr. Big.
* [[Loveable Rogue]]: Michael as the "Smooth Criminal", in contrast to the more brutish ones.
* [[Makes Just as Much Sense in Context]] -- Now that one comes to think of it, ...*[[Beat]]*... no, it makes even less sense in context.
* [[Mind Screw]] -- The page description is just the beginning.
