Dead Man's Shoes/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Richard.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Odd considering the incredibly dark tone of the film, but there are several moments where one can't help but laugh at the staggering ineptitude of Sonny and his gang.
    • Sonny opening the door... wearing lipstick and eyeliner, that's been applied in his sleep.
    • "I told him not to mention the elephant!"
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Anthony and Richard reminiscing about their schooldays, in particular the sports day.

Anthony: They all tried to hold your hand. I didn't.
Richard: No, you didn't.
Anthony: Don't need to, do I?

    • Later subverted, hard, when it's revealed that Richard wouldn't touch his brother because he was disgusted with his disability.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: How many films can boast a soundtrack done by Aphex Twin?
    • Not to mention the opening track, Vessel in Vain, which completely sets the tone for the movie.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: "I watched over you when you were asleep and I looked at your fucking neck and I was that far away from slicing it."
    • How about suddenly finding yourself tripping your balls off without knowingly taking any drugs, and then a masked assassin finds his way into the house and starts killing your friends right in front of your helpless eyes?
  • Tear Jerker: When Richard admits to the final man that he was actually disgusted by his brother.
