The Devil's Rejects: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"I am the Devil, and I am here to do the Devil's work."''|'''Otis B. Driftwood'''}}

 

 

Of course, we all know this isn't going to be easy, and when Baby and Otis escape from the resultant firefight, they'll be out for one thing: Mayhem. Gory, stomach-wrenching mayhem.

 

Good times.

* [[Badass Boast]]: See page quote.

* [[Bash Brothers]]: The Unholy Two are so badass that they take on the Firefly clan and win!

* [[Bavarian Fire Drill]]: "I need to borrow your car. Official clown business."

* [[Berserk Button]]: If you ever, ''ever'' say a derogatory word about Elvis Aaron Presley in Sheriff Wydell's presence, he will kick the living shit out of you!

* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: Arguably progresses to [[Evil Versus Evil]] during the course of the movie. Ultimately very few named characters and no major characters in the film wind up being entirely sympathetic. A film where the protagonists are vicious serial killers and their opposition is a religiously fanatical [[Cowboy Cop]] {{spoiler|seeking vengeance}} is ultimately how the story winds up. A telling example of the fact that this film [[Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism|leans very heavily to the cynical end of the spectrum]] is that all the named characters that are not in some way involved with either the [[Axe Crazy|Firefly family]] in some manner or the police wind up being innocents get caught up in the situation and wind up dying horribly.

* [[Black Comedy]]: The movie is hilarious when treated as this.

* [[Bolivian Army Ending]]: The surviving trio goes out like this.

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: {{spoiler|Tiny}}

* [[Daylight Horror]]

* [[Defictionalization]]: A supposed Banjo & Sullivan [[Greatest Hits Album]] was released as an official tie-in with the movie. In reality it's an [[Affectionate Parody]] of 70's country by Jesse Dayton.

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: This line from Marty Walker, the film scholar:

* [[The Family That Slays Together]]

* [[Flaying Alive]]: Let's just say Otis has quite a hobby.

* [[Gorn]]

* [[Gilligan Cut]]:

* [[I Am the Trope]]: See page quote.

* [[It Runs in The Family]]: The Fireflys.

* [[Knight Templar]]: Sheriff Wydell.

* [[Large Ham]]: A lot of characters, but especially the Fireflys.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: {{spoiler|Captain Spaulding trying to protect Baby during interrogation.}}

'''Otis B. Driftwood''': That's what they all say. (mocking) "Fuck you!" Well it ain't gonna save you. It don't scare me none and it don't suddenly make you a fucking hero. }}

** Arguably becomes [[Ironic Echo]] toward the end when Wydell has Baby at his mercy.

* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: The ending scene is set to "Freebird" {{spoiler|as Baby, Otis, and Spaulding ride to their deaths at a police barricade.}}

* [[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome]]: Several Firefly members are killed, captured, or disappear after the opening shootout with police.

* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: Enjoying some "Tutti-fucking-Frutti!"

* [[The Voiceless]]: Tiny.
