Tucker and Dale vs. Evil: Difference between revisions

* [[Black and White Insanity]]: Chad keep insisting on a black and white narrative with himself as the good guy and the hillbillies as the villains.

* [[Black Dude Dies First]]: Averted by Jason, who deliberately avoids danger of any kind {{spoiler|until Allison's tea summit, by which point most of the white students are dead}}.

* [[Bloody Hilarious]]

* [[Both Sides Have a Point]]: Allison is really trying for this one, in her attempts to mediate.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Tucker, who accumulates all of the nonfatal injuries throughout the film. Dale comes through without a scratch.

* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Tucker and Dale immediately understand that no one is going to believe what really happened at the cabin.

* [[Chainsaw Good]]: Tucker accidentally cuts through a hornet's nest with a chainsaw and accidentally charges through the co-eds while swinging the chainsaw wildly at the swarming hornets. Later Dale has a chainsaw-versus-pipe fight with Chad.

* [[Disney Villain Death]]: {{spoiler|Chad.}}

* [[Distracted By the Sexy]]: When Dale is digging a hole for the outhouse, Allison asks him what he is doing. Distracted by her figure, Dale struggles for a while to understand what she's saying.

It can't be. They lied to me. How could they? }}

** The DVD likewise contains a 15-minute bonus feature called ''Tucker and Dale ARE Evil'', which [[Re Cut|retells the story from the college kids' point of view]] {{spoiler|while removing the hints that Chad is a psychopath}}.

* [[Police Are Useless]]: The local sheriff is kind of an idiot. He mistakes Tucker and Dale for gay lovers and later follows them inside the murder cabin. Even the airheaded teens can't believe he's so stupid.

* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]] by Allison, who explains that she's studying psychology because she feels so many of the world's problems are the result of this. She tries to sit the main characters down to talk their way through their conflict.

* [[Psycho Party Member]]: {{spoiler|Chad.}}

* [[Skinny Dipping]]: Invoked as the college kids claim they are going to do as they go for a swim. However, they verbally change their minds along the way and eventually bathe in their underwear.

* [[Slashed Throat]]: Shown in the flashback sequence.

* [[Stockholm Syndrome]]: When Allison tries to explain to Chad and Naomi what happened, Naomi erroneously deduces that she is going through this.

* [[Tap On the Head]]: Allison is knocked out twice in a short span and spends several hours unconscious each time. She doesn't seem to suffer any ill affects.

* [[Television Geography]]: The movie takes place in the backwoods of West Virginia, but the foliage in the area looks nothing like West Virginia's. West Virginia forests are mostly broadleaf deciduous trees, packed rather densely, but the forest in the movie was coniferous and thin... not unlike the forests in [[California Doubling|Alberta, Canada]].

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The co-eds, who all die due to their own idiot actions.

* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: Quite a few death scenes are spoiled by the trailer. Especially the first three, which are the most abrupt and unexpected.

* [[Two Faced]]: Left side of {{spoiler|Chad's}} face is badly burnt when he is caught inside an explosion. Also Naomi, moments before the explosion.

* [[Unwilling Suspension]]: Tucker when he is caught by the college kids.

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Chad is asthmatic and allergic to Chamomile Tea.

* [[Window Pain]]: Dale breaks a window to start a firefight with the college kids.

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Chad is the one who convinces others that they are in a "us against them" situation against crazy backwoods hillbillies. It's all just a misunderstanding.
