Hard Rain: Difference between revisions

'''Wayne:''' Why did you do that?<br />

'''Tom:''' I don't really like to carry around that much cash, you know? }}

{{quote| '''Ray:''' We'd go down to the river, and into the river we'd dive. (The others give him confused looks.) [[Bruce Springsteen|Springsteen]], "The River". What? I'm all out of Bible verses.}}

* [[Attempted Rape]]: {{spoiler|The deputy}} tries to rape Karen after {{spoiler|the sherrif makes it clear that there could be no witnesses}}.

* [[Floating Head Syndrome]]: Some of the later posters and the DVD box art. It's a shame, too; [http://www.impawards.com/1998/posters/hard_rain_ver1.jpg the original poster] was at least kind of interesting.

* [[Giant Wall of Watery Doom]]: Occurs when the dam finally crumbles under the stress.

* [[Harmless Electrocution]]: Subverted. Kenny gets very badly hurt from his electrocution, and though it does seem at first like he's going to survive it, he later dies.

* [[Human Shield]]: Jim uses Tom as one. {{spoiler|It [[Shoot the Hostage|doesn't work]], since the sheriff has decided to keep the money, which means he needs both of them dead, anyway.}}

{{quote| '''Ray:''' You teach your students how to make stuff like that?<br />

'''Mehlor:''' Have you been to high school lately, Ray? My students taught ''me'' how to make stuff like this. }}

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Jim's original plan to snatch the cash from the armored car without having to kill anyone was [[A Simple Plan|simple]]. However, [[Spanner in The Works|Tom]] has caused him so much trouble that Jim finally decides he's fed up:

{{quote| '''Jim''' (pointing a gun at Tom): Before you start jerking me around again, consider this: I've had a very frustrating night. While I may not find that money if I kill you, I'm at the point now where I just...don't...care.}}

* [[With Us or Against Us]]: {{spoiler|The sheriff}} gives Phil one. To be fair, it's not really a [[False Dichotomy]] in this instance, as Phil is a cop, and if he doesn't try to arrest or kill the bad guys, he's an accomplice.
