Bandits



A romantic crime comedy about the misadventures of two escaped convicts, Joe Blake (Bruce Willis) and Terry Collins (Billy Bob Thornton), who start robbing banks to fund their dreams, which include a bar in Mexico.

However, a woman (Cate Blanchett) gets involved and things become complicated...

Not to be confused with the 1997 German film of the same name.

This film provides examples of: "Terry: Kate, you should choose. What's it gonna be? Mr. Action Figure Hero Guy? Or brains, and sensitivity, and a lot of other things I could name. So in other words: me or THAT guy?
 * Badass: Joe. The guy knocks over a bank with a Magic Marker.
 * Bank Robbery
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: Terry, despite his numerous quirks and neuroticisms, is actually a pretty damn competent (and inventive) criminal.
 * The Chick: Kate.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: The ending.
 * Flash Back / Flash Forward
 * Genius Ditz: Harvey.
 * Ho Yay: You gotta wonder just how many directions the movie's Love Triangle goes in, given that Joe and Terry are pretty much Heterosexual Life Partners, the bank robbing edition.
 * Loveable Rogue: Both Joe and Terry qualify, though Joe is the more typical example (a charming ladies man) while Terry is dorkishly endearing.
 * Love Triangle: Kate is stuck having to choose between Joe and Terry. Her decision ends up being awesomely unorthodox.
 * Odd Couple: Joe and Terry. Terry being a neurotic hypochondriac and Joe being... Bruce Willis.
 * OT 3: This one's canon.
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Again, Terry and Joe.

Joe: Yeah, good looking, or ITCHY."


 * The Smart Guy: Terry.
 * Sympathetic Criminal
 * Yoko Oh No: So very subverted.
