Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} {{quote\|"''Interesting. I've been stabbed, and I've been hanged, and I've been burned. Even broken on the rack once, but I've never been shot before. Kind of itches a little!''"\|'''Max'''}} A 1995 horror/comedy film directed by [[Wes Craven]]. Maximillian ([[Eddie Murphy]]) is a vampire refugee from Jamaica who cannot stand to be alone. He has come to Brooklyn to seek out Rita Veder ([[Angela Bassett]]), the only known [[Half Vampire]] in America and teach her who she is. She just happens to be a police detective. Maximillian also has problems with the courting concept. Killing her annoying roommate Nikki ([[Simbi Khali]]) is not the way to impress a girl. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~=== This film provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Bond One -Liner]]: "Put a little heart in it" (while [[...And Show It to You\|showing a dying man his own heart]]). * [[Dhampyr]] * [[Diving Save]] * [[Evil Is Sexy]] * [[Half Vampire]] * [[He Went That Way!]] * [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Notable because Max apparently doesn't just drink blood. When Julius offers to get him some food, he flicks a massive gobbet of flesh out of his teeth and announces with a smirk, "I already had Italian." * [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]]: {{spoiler\|Max dies satisfied, telling Rita "I knew you were a killer."}} * [[Made From Real Girl Scouts]]: See above. * [[Made of Iron]]: Max * [[Magic Pants]]: Not only do Max's clothes survive all shape-shifts, he can change them into a different outfit and, at the end, {{spoiler\|when Julius becomes a vampire after putting on Max's ring, he gets a whole new outfit complete with sunglasses and jewelry}}! * [[Mood Whiplash]]: The film tends to be awkward once it comes to transitioning from a vampire film and a [[Black Comedy]]. If it had just picked one, it probably would have been much better received, but since it wobbles back and forth... * [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Debatable when this happens, some say it involves killing {{spoiler\|Nicki}} or maybe {{spoiler\|[[Kick the Dog\|shooting a cat]]}}. * [[Mugging the Monster]] Line 25: * [[Shape Shifter]]: Max * [[Too Kinky to Torture]] * [[Uh -Oh Eyes]]: Max's eyes turn [[Eyes of Gold\|golden]] when he's doing anything vampiric. * [[Undeath Always Ends]] * [[Vampires Are Sex Gods]]: [[Lampshade Hanging\|Lampshaded]] furiously at the end when {{spoiler\|Julius is stunned by [[Bigger Is Better in Bed\|how much bigger his dick has become]]}}. * [[What Is Evil?]] {{reflist}} Line 34: [[Category:Vampire Fiction]] [[Category:Films of the 1990s]] [[Category:Vampire Inin Brooklyn]] [[Category:~~Trope~~Film]]
