Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Alternative Character Interpretation: There is much debate amongst fans of the film whether Beth is an innocent victim or an evil Femme Fatale. There is also debate whether the first scene of Nick and Beth in her apartment is sex or date rape.
Complete Monster: Catherine seduces men, manipulates them for her own amusement and then kills'em for money or probably for pure fun and knows exactly how evading the laws and getting away with her crimes.
Everybody Remembers the Stripper: Catherine's interrogation, during which she recrosses her legs while wearing an extremely short skirt with no panties. Long-distance gynecology, anyone?
Evil Is Sexy: When it's played by Sharon Stone, anyway. Roxy also qualifies for this trope.
No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: Gay rights activists protested against the film, feeling that it perpetuates homophobic stereotypes. It became on of the highest-grossing movies of the year.
