Line 54:
----
{{tropelist|This director's films contain examples of these tropes:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Mostly averted. Ridley in ''Alien'' is just your average worker stuck on a horrible situation, and the protagonist in ''G.I. Jane'' is just working towards being one but isn't one yet.
* [[Artificial Human]]
* [[Cyberpunk]]: ''Blade Runner'' is a great influence on the genre, being based on a story by the genre's father [[Philip K. Dick]]
* [[Downer Ending]]
** ''Thelma and Louise'': {{Spoiler|Ends with the [[Villain Protagonist|villain protagonists]] killing themselves instead of facing justice}}.
** ''Alien: Covenant'': {{Spoiler|David wins to ensure the events of ''Alien'' come to pass}}.
* [[Duel to the Death]]: ''The Duelists'' and ''The Last Duel'' obviously.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]{{context}}
* [[Executive Meddling]]: ''Blade Runner'' and ''Kingdom of Heaven'' feature alternate cuts by Scott because he was forced to make edits and even change the ending for the former.
* [[Japan Takes Over the World]]: Weyland-Yutani is partially owned by the Japanese, and several fictional Japanese Mega corps took over the world of ''Blade Runner''.
* [[Mega Corp]]: Serves as the [[Bigger Bad]] of ''[[Alien]]'' and ''[[Blade Runner]]''.
* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: The alien in ''Alien'' is not seen by most of the movie. Also paranoia is frequent source of suspense in ''Blade Runner'', because it's hard to detect who is a replicant.
* [[Recut]]: Even when he didn't actually want them.
* [[Unicorn]]: ''[[Legend]]'' and, oddly enough, ''[[Blade Runner]]''.
