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.

These things about Zodiac (film) are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

  • Complete Monster:
    • Arthur Leigh Allen. Whether-or-not he's the Zodiac, he's still portrayed as a creepy scumbag.
    • The Zodiac assuming that he and Allen aren't the same person.
  • Leave the Plot Threads Hanging: Who was Rick Marshall? Maybe he did kill people and film it, but you'll never know!
    • In Real Life, Marshall was proven to not be the Zodiac via fingerprint analysis.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Any of the Zodiac encounters qualify.
    • The anonymous calls that are just heavy breathing.
    • Leigh's trailer.
Cquote1

"Squirrels."

Cquote2
  • Paranoia Fuel: Be careful when someone pulls up next to you.
    • Lampshaded when Robert briefly thinks that Bob Vaughn is the Zodiac.
  • Tom Hanks Syndrome: John Ennis, Philip Baker Hall, Dermot Mulroney, Charles Fleischer, and Anthony Edwards are best known as comic actors.
  • The Untwist: Toschi's number-one suspect was Leigh. And he was right...according to the film, anyway.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: Certain scenes featuring San Fran to be digitally created and you won't even know which ones.
    • To save time David Fincher decided to not use bloody makeup for the murder scenes, thus all blood is CGI.
  • What an Idiot! - Leigh, if the informant's story is true. He basically laid out his entire murder plot to him on New Years Day, as well as saying he would call himself the Zodiac.
