The Mexican: Difference between revisions

 

After five years of running errands for Margolese, Jerry is almost out of his debt. He just has one job left, a simple delivery. All he has to do is fly to Mexico and pick up a very special gun, the eponymous Mexican, then bring it to Margolese. Unfortunately for Jerry, things are about to get complicated. The Mexican is a very valuable commodity, and Margolese isn't the only one who wants it. With multiple buyers hoping to secure the gun, Jerry finds himself on the run from everything. And Sam, eager to leave him behind, is taken as collateral by the notorious hitman Leroy. Needless to say, [[Hilarity Ensues]].

 

* [[Badass Driver]] - Leroy, who manages to make a Volkswagen Beetle look cool as he dodges traffic and big-rigs while abducting Sam

** Jerry thinks he's one, but he's really just crazy

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]] - {{spoiler|Sam can be very sweet (if a tiny bit of a drama queen when it comes to her relationship), but with Jerry's life on the line she has no problem pulling the trigger}}

* [[Black Comedy]] - the film walks the line between this and [[Dramedy]]

* [[The Cameo]]: {{spoiler|Gene Hackman as Margolese}}

* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]] - Beck

* [[Gayngster]] - Leroy

* [[Fridge Brilliance]] - Winston telling Sam about the tattoo, saying that it's the name of someone he doesn't like very much. After you watch the movie again, you realize that he's talking about {{spoiler|himself}}.

* [[Hitman With a Heart]] - Also Leroy

{{quote| '''Sam (to Leroy):''' You know, you're very sensitive for a cold blooded killer.}}
