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.
Another for the entire trilogy: They're each retelling the same story. The first movie shows the events as they actually happen, the second has them evolve into a local urban legend, and the third as national folklore. This would explain the recurring actors, the motifs changing characters, and the progressively more over the top storylines.
Crowning Moment of Awesome: The response of the people of Mexico to the attempted overthrow of their government.
Ensemble Darkhorse: Sands proved wildly popular. This might have something to do with the fact that he's played by JohnnyDepp.
He was surprised at the reaction to the character, thinking it was only a small supporting role, but one of his siblings saw it and said "no, you're in the whole thing."
Special Effects Failure - Most of the effects are very good...which only makes it sadder that the CG blood is so obvious.
What an Idiot!: Many characters are guilty of holding the Idiot Ball over the course of this film, most egregiously Ajedrez. She leaves Sands alive to wander the streets of Mexico City, albeit blind, then when they meet again she fails to notice that he is using his fake arm, allowing him to shoot her.
