Line 29:
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Morgana intends to bring about either a Class 2 or a Class 3a {{spoiler|by raising an army of spellcasting zombies.}}
* [[The Apprentice]]: [[Captain Obvious|Dave]].
* [[Asshole Victim]]: I guess Horvath showed that idiot in the car [[Laser
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Balthazar.
* [[Bad Boss]]: Horvath, see [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]].
Line 70:
* [[Groin Attack]]: Self inflicted. Ouch.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Veronica made one back in the Middle Ages, casting a reverse [[Grand Theft Me]] spell to trap Morgana's soul in her body, then convincing Balthazar to [[Sealed Good in A Can|trap them]] [[Sealed Evil in A Can|both in the Grimhold]]. Balthazar attempts the same thing with less successful results. His planning to go off alone to take on Horvath and Morgana may also be considered one.
* [[Hey
* [[Historical
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|Horvath steals the rings/amulets of Dave and the various Morganians he's allied himself with, making himself powerful enough to free Morgana unaided. All that extra power, however, makes him an easy target for Dave's tesla coil.}}
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: Said word-for-word by Dave, but unfortunately [[The Call Knows Where You Live]] in the form of Horvath. Also stated by Balthazar to be a desire Veronica had.
Line 79:
* [[Insult Backfire]]: Dave asks Blake if he's insane, to which Blake gives a "little bit" sign.
* [[Invisible to Normals]]: Pure magic spells like energy projection are invisible to regular humans. Becky is incapable of seeing a giant fiery pentagram traced across the sky, for example. Matter manipulation, telekinesis, and similar spells, on the other hand, are fully visible, since they're acting upon visible objects.
* [[
* [[I Was Just Joking]]: At the start of the movie, Balthazar.
{{quote| '''Dave:''' How did you know my name was Dave?<br />
Line 94:
* [[Love Triangle]]: {{spoiler|Balthazar and Horvath}} battle it out for {{spoiler|Veronica.}}
* [[Mad Scientist Laboratory]]: Dave's underground workshop. Complete with [[Nikola Tesla|Tesla Coils]].
* [[Magic
* [[
* [[Magic Versus Science]]: Subverted. Although not elaborated upon, magic here is noted to be at least partially grounded in science instead of being incompatible. In fact that is supposedly the reason Dave is so good with physics is because he has natural magical talent.
{{quote| '''Dave:''' So, is sorcery science or magic?<br />
'''Balthazar:''' [[
* [[Magitek]]: Armed with the knowledge of the above, David combines magic and science to defeat Horvath and Morgana.
* [[Master of Illusion]]: Drake's whole thing is illusions. He uses it to make his living and even pretends to be Dave for a few seconds. It seems to be his favorite type of magic to use.
Line 112:
** Yensid's hat is seen in Balthazar's magic shop.
** The skull without the jaw that Yen Sid stores his butterfly color stuff in in the Fantasia short is there too.
* [[Never a Self
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: Horvath's [[Hannibal Lecture]] about power and control from the trailer? Nope, not in the movie!
* [[Nerds Are Sexy]]: The Tesla Coil music scene.
Line 142:
** And of course this memorable exchange:
{{quote| '''Guard:''' I'll need to see your identification card.<br />
'''Horvath:''' [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|You don't need to see]] [[Star Wars|my identification card]].<br />
'''Guard:''' I don't need to see your identification card.<br />
'''Drake:''' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|These are not]] [[Lampshade Hanging|the Droids you're looking for]].<br />
Line 152:
** Balthazar Blake's full name seems very much to be a shout out to [[The Neverending Story (Literature)|Bastian Balthazar Bux]].
* [[Shrine to Self]]: Drake Stone sports a couple of partially-naked portraits of himself around the house.
* [[Sliding Scale of Anti
* [[Something He Would Never Say]]: Several times, but most prominently when {{spoiler|Dave suddenly uses British slang, and Balthazar immediately understands that it's actually Drake in disguise}}.
* [[Sorcerers Apprentice]]: Under the same circumstances as [[Mickey Mouse]].
Line 169:
** The Chrysler Building eagle as well{{spoiler|, considering that it is what took care of the bull.}}
* [[What Could Have Been]]: An earlier draft included an appearance by Chernabog himself in the climactic battle, though he'll be in the sequel if they get the chance.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: What happened to the second demon of the Grimhold?
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Becky mentions that she isn't fond of heights. You can guess what her role in the climax involves.
* [[Wizard Duel]]: it's kind of the point...as such, there are many.
** In Germany the film was actually released as "Duell der Magier", i.e. "duel of mages".
Line 177:
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|Horvath to...well, everyone except Morgana.}}
** Partially justified. The endgame has every evil wizard being resurrected anyway; this way they're puppets instead of independent.
* [[You're Insane!]]: Responded to by a smile and finger-measurement to show just how insane Balthazar is.
