So I Married an Axe Murderer: Difference between revisions

* [[Conspiracy Theorist]]: Charlie's dad. "Oh, I hated the Colonel - with his wee beady eyes, and that smug look on his face."

* [[Da Chief]]: Parodied - A police detective expresses dissatisfaction that his job is not more like the movies - partly because his boss, far from this trope, is a pleasant, amiable and good-natured administrator with an easy-going temper.

* [[Flashed Badge Hijack]]: Subverted when a cop stops a passing motorist, but can't get him to give up his vehicle. He has to settle for getting a ride from the driver to the crime-in-progress.

* [[Foot Popping]]: Charlie, kissing his bride at the altar, dressed in a kilt.

* [[Minor Flaw Major Breakup]]: This is something of a recurring gag for the main character, and it even foreshadows things that are to come later in the movie.

* [[Mistaken for Murderer]]: The premise of the film.

* [[Psychotic Lover]]: Harriet, who becomes a bit unhinged after winning over Charlie.

** In a subversion, this is because {{spoiler|''all'' of her previous husbands abandoned her and she's developed a complex -- or so she thinks. Turns out Harriet's ''sister'' was an insane [[Psychotic Lover]] for ''Harriet''. She murdered Harriet's husbands and faked their deaths to keep Harriet to herself and nearly does the same to Charlie near the end}}.
