The Grey: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Ottway contemplates this, and seems about to go through with it in the opening scene.

* [[Dwindling Party]]

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: All of the main survivors appear in the bar at the beginning of the film, including Diaz who (very much in-character) starts a minor brawl.

* [[Everything's Worse With Bears]]: Averted in a deleted scene.

* [[Everything's Worse With Wolves]]: The plot of the film. Highly aggressive and fiercely territorial, these wolves have never encountered humans before.

Line 52:

* [[Scary Black Man]]: Strongly averted. Burke is the only black character, and is physically the largest, but also one of the kindest and most magnanimous; his first line is him criticizing Diaz for, well, [[Jerkass|being Diaz]].

* {{spoiler|[[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: Inverted, perhaps even given a [[Russian Reversal]]. The shaggy wolves get the humans}}

* [[Shout Out]]: Talget's cap, a black cap with the yellow letters "WY" are the same colors of the Weyland-Yutani logo from ''[[Alien]]''. [[Ridley Scott]], director of ''Alien'', produced this film.

* [[The Stinger]]: {{spoiler|Ottway and the alpha wolf lying in a heap after their fight, barely alive.}}

* [[Super Persistent Predator]]: Or rather, predator'''s''', hunting in a pack.

* [[Super-Persistent Predator]]: Or rather, predator'''s''', hunting in a pack.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Sure Diaz, {{spoiler|cut off a wolf's head and throw it out into the wilderness}} and taunt the wolves about it. It's not like they have reason to be pissed off enough already. Oh wait.

** Not to mention he was {{spoiler|challenging Ottway to a fight}} just a few moments ago while it was clearly established that the group was completely surrounded by the ever-present wolves
