Line 4:
A 2006 fantasy film by Tarsem Singh, based on the 1981 Bulgarian pirate story "Yo Ho Ho". The film took four years to shoot, in 26 locations in over 18 countries, and was funded by [[Being John Malkovich|Spike Jonze]] and [[Fight Club|David Fincher]]. '''The trailer [[Trailers Always Spoil|spoils]] most of its plot twists.'''
 
'''''The Fall''''' is the story of Roy, an injured stuntman in the early 1920s, and Alexandria, a 5-year-old girl he befriends during his hospital stay. Roy has a broken heart and a death wish: during his last (and so far only) film, he tried a stunt his fellow stuntmen called downright suicidal, and he was left crippled by his fall.
 
Unable to leave his hospital bed, Roy has a plan: he begins telling Alexandria the most fantastic bandit story ever told. It stars seven heroes -- The Black Bandit, an Italian, an Indian, a Mystic, [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy|the ex-slave Otta Benga, Charles Darwin]], and Wallace the Monkey -- on a quest of revenge against the evil Governor Odious.

=== The film provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Acting for Two]]: Everyone in the story, sometimes very well disguised.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: On purpose. Seeing Odious' car is particularly jarring, signifying the story's finale.
