Tropedia

  • 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.

  • Complete Monster - Snake, to the point where he completely kills any comedy.
    • Not so much in the movie, where he still takes hostages but remains dimwitted enough that Jenny feels comfortable enough to snark at him.
Cquote1

Snake: Do we want "Arrivals" or "Departures"? Well, we're arriving, but then we're going to depart for the Bahamas...
Jenny: This is a joke, right?
Snake: Don't make fun of me!

  • Funny Aneurysm Moment - The reason the movie got such a limited release was that the original date it was to be set in theaters came not long after the 9/11 terrorist attack. Needless to say, everyone felt a movie that centers its climax around a bomb being snuck on a plane wasn't so good and quietly got it released at a later date.
    • In the book, Penultimate Inc. built a jail whose security system was so haphazard that the whole thing opened during a lightning storm, freeing nearly all the prisoners. Then this happened. In Florida.
  • Moral Event Horizon - The (book only) scene where Arthur, without a qualm, offers his wife and teenaged stepdaughter to Snake.
