Striptease (film): Difference between revisions

Line 18:

* [[Feather Boa Constrictor]]

* [[Film of the Book]] - Based on a novel by the same name, written by Carl Hiaasen. One of the concessions that the critics give is that the screenplay is pretty faithful to the book.

* [[Good Samaritan]]: Garcia, although it takes him until the climax of the movie to ''successfully'' do a good deed.

* [[Insistent Terminology]] - ''Don't'' call the women working at the Eager Beaver "strippers" where Shad can hear you. [[Berserk Button|Just...don't.]] They're not strippers; they're ''dancers''.

* [[Loony Fan]] - Jerry Killian is very fond of Grant, although he's never quite implied to have gone to the point where he'd cross the line from [[Loony Fan]] to [[Stalker with a Crush]] - although that may be because Shad is quite open about being willing to inflict harm on anyone who seems to be a danger to the dancers. {{spoiler|But he is the one who tries to blackmail Dilbeck, to try and get Grant's custody case judged in her favor. It gets him killed.}}

Line 23:

Line 24:

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Grant. '''And how!'''

* [[Psychotic Lover]]: Dilbeck.

* [[Single Mom Stripper]] - Grant, a divorcee trying to regain custody of her daughter, is now working at the Eager Beaver in order to earn the money she needs to fight the custody battle.

* [[Single Mom Stripper]] - Basically the whole plot. Grant, a divorcee trying to regain custody of her daughter, is now working at the Eager Beaver in order to earn the money she needs to fight the custody battle.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]] - Congressman Dilbeck. He even goes so far as to have Grant's ''dryer lint'' stolen, {{spoiler|so that he can have sex with it while it's still warm}}. Grant is ''incredibly'' creeped out when she finds out.

* [[Stupid Crooks]]: All of the bad guys, but mostly Darrell. ''Everything'' he does accomplishes little but prove he's an idiot.
