The Hills Have Eyes: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

* [[Crucified Hero Shot]] - Literally, in both. And on a Joshua tree, no less.

* [[Driven to Suicide]] - Via shotgun (Remake Only). Attempted in the original with a noose, only to be foiled and subsequently replaced with a worse death

* [[Dropped a Bridge On Him]] - {{spoiler|Doug (And his baby, for that matter)}} in the remake's comic tie-in/prequel. Not perfectly fitting of this trope, but they may as well have killed him off in the opening panels. It's made all the more frustrating to witness when considering the fact that {{spoiler|the last time we saw him, he was practically a one man [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] spewing death machine who could probably vaporize all of them by simply dropping his pants.}}

** {{spoiler|Ruby}} in the original sequel. {{spoiler|She dies when she... hits her head on a rock.}}

* [[Fade to White]] - The original movie's ending fades to ''red''.

Line 45:

* [[It Runs in The Family]] - Granted, because of the fallout there's no choice in the matter.

* [[Kill'Em All]] - The mutant's plan in the original, {{spoiler|in the remake, it becomes Doug's}}.

* [[Kill It ~~With~~ Fire]] - Combined with the crucifixion, terrifying, in both

* [[Kill It with Fire]] - Combined with the crucifixion, terrifying, in both

* [[Mutants]] - In the original, the mutation of Papa Jupiter and his children is only subtly hinted to be the result of fallout (though casting Michael Berryman as Pluto is a rather... strong hint); in the remake, it's outright stated.

* [[Red Right Hand]] - Papa Jupiter's split nose in the original.

* [[The Savage South]] - Full of sadistic, inbred cannibals no less.

* [[Spell My Name ~~With~~ an "S"]] - In Wes Craven's it's "Doug Wood". In Aja's it's "Doug Bukowski".

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]] - In Wes Craven's it's "Doug Wood". In Aja's it's "Doug Bukowski".

** [[Bilingual Bonus]] - Bukowski is a Polish name which literally means "of the beech [tree]". Thus, wood.

* [[Straw Political]] - The civilized family in the remake is made entirely of Straw Conservatives, except for Doug, the token Straw Liberal (and the only one presented as having to ''turn'' barbaric).

* [[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome]] - {{spoiler|Ruby}} in the original series, making the ending of the first something of a [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]].

* [[Talking to ~~The~~ Dead]] - In the original, Papa Jupiter talks about how his family will devour the outsiders to {{spoiler|Big Bob's severed head}}.

* [[Talking to the Dead]] - In the original, Papa Jupiter talks about how his family will devour the outsiders to {{spoiler|Big Bob's severed head}}.

* [[Theme Naming]] - All of the males in the original's cannibal family are named after planets; Ruby, the only female child, is the odd one out {{spoiler|and the one who makes a [[Heel Face Turn]]}}.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]] - Doug Bukowski, the bespectacled pacifist telecommunications worker who, near the end of the movie, goes on a bloody rampage through the hideout of cannibalistic mutants to save his baby daughter.
