Sin City is an irregular comic book series about the venal Basin City (known as "Sin City" to the people who live there) and the seedy inhabitants who lurk in its alleys and doorways. It is probably writer/artist Frank Miller's best known work not to star Batman.Infamous for its absurdly macho writing, Sin City reads like an Affectionate Parody of Film Noir turned up a notch: every hero is a mentally and/or physically scarred bruiser of a man and every woman is a beautiful dame with a heaving bosom. Black-and-Gray Morality is predominant.The series' other defining attribute is its artwork, which is largely black and white, with occasional spot colouring for certain important characters. Miller plays heavily with silhouettes, high-contrast images and negative space to create a series of visually striking images that look like no other comic on the market.Because it is almost exclusively set in and around Basin City's criminal underworld, Sin City has a number of recurring characters, although the protagonists vary from story to story. Additionally, some plotlines overlap or weave together in subtle ways (The Hard Goodbye and A Dame to Kill For are both mostly set on the same night, with the protagonists driving past one another in a single scene in both comics).The currently available collected editions are, in order:1: The Hard Goodbye - Originally just titled Sin City until the film adaptation, this story follows Marv, a big street thug prone to psychotic episodes, and whose face is so ugly that not even most prostitutes will let him pay for their services, who falls in love with a beautiful prostitute one night, only to find her dead the following morning and the cops beating down his door to take him in for her murder. On his quest for vengeance, Marv shakes down the criminal underworld, does battle with corrupt cops and discovers a sick conspiracy.2: A Dame to Kill For - Dwight McCarthy, a freelance photographer with a vicious temper, is pissed off when his beautiful ex — Ava, the dame of the title — contacts him out of the blue. But his anger is allayed when he discovers that her life has been threatened. With time running out, Dwight must save Ava from her cruel husband and his bizarre manservant. But is Ava what she appears to be, or is Dwight being manipulated into making the biggest mistake of his life?3: The Big Fat Kill - Dwight gets into more trouble when his new girlfriend, Shelly, is harassed by her abusive ex-boyfriend, one Jack Rafferty. Dwight chases after him, but can only watch as Jackie-Boy and his pals are killed by prostitutes for threatening to rape one of their number. Ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem — the prostitutes of Old Town are given free rein by the police — but Jackie-Boy has a dangerous secret, one that might tear Sin City apart.4: That Yellow Bastard - John Hartigan may well be Sin City's last decent cop, but not for long: It's his last day on the job. But Hartigan's refusing to go quietly, especially since a well-connected young serial killer/rapist has just kidnapped little Nancy Callahan. It's no big thing — Hartigan's spent his entire life taking down scum like him. But this time, there will be repercussions...5: Family Values - While picking up some intel for his new new girlfriend, Dwight learns of a Mafia war that's about to go down in Sin City. Captured by one side of the impending war, Dwight has to rely on a certain enemy-turned ally for help: the deadly ninja Miho.6: Booze, Broads and Bullets - A collection of short stories from various sources, including back-up strips from the early issues of The Big Fat Kill and stories from the various Sin City one-shot specials.7: Hell and Back (A Sin City Love Story) - Wallace is an interesting guy: an artist, a war hero, a short order cook and a lightning-quick fighter. His life is pretty dull, though, until he saves a suicidal woman named Esther and they begin a tentative relationship. In typical Sin City style, however, Esther is kidnapped and Wallace must pull the city — and the lives of some of its most privileged men — apart to get her back.FilmsSeveral of the Sin City comics were turned into an anthology film by director Robert Rodriguez, simply called Sin City, which was released in 2005.Rodriguez quit the Director's Guild to let Frank Miller take co-director status.note The Director's Guild refused to give joint credit to two directors not previously established as a team, especially since Miller had never directed before. Rodriguez originally planned to give full credit to Miller, but Miller turned this down. Quentin Tarantino, a friend of Rodriguez, was also given a co-director credit since he came over on a day of shooting to film a scene. Rodriguez shot the film panel-for-panel from the comics, using black and white footage and Green Screen backgrounds to get the perfect Sin City feel. The end result was a film Rodriguez considered "less of an adaptation than a translation"; as such, there is no official writer credit on the film.The Sin City film comprised The Hard Goodbye, The Big Fat Kill and That Yellow Bastard and was bookended by an adaptation of "The Customer is Always Right", a short story featured in the Booze, Broads and Bullets collection.A sequel, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, was released in August 2014, after a long stretch in Development Hell. Miller and Rodriguez returned as co-directors, and the film contains an official screenplay by Miller. Sadly, the deaths of two important actors — Brittany Murphy (Shelly) and Michael Clarke Duncan (Manute) — alongside Devon Aoki (Miho) taking time off from acting caused some difficulties. Duncan and Aoki were replaced by Dennis Haysbert and Jamie Chung, respectively, with Jeremy Piven taking over from Michael Madsen as Bob.The second film contains two original storylines not shown in the comics.1: The Long Bad Night - Johnny is a young man with charm and great skill at slots and card games. Looking to make a name for himself in Sin City, he crashes a private poker game hosted by Senator Roark and cleans him out. However, considering who he just beat, Johnny's luck might not last the night.2: Nancy's Last Dance - Four years after "That Yellow Bastard", Nancy still can't come to terms with Hartigan's suicide. She plunges into a self destructive spiral until she decides on what she must do. She has to kill the man responsible for Hartigan's death: the infamous Senator Roark himself.Not to be confused with SimCity, which is potentially a whole lot nicer. Or GTA Vice City, which is definitely not all that nicer. Or Las Vegas, for that matter.

Fair Cop: In Family Values, Dwight is hit on by a rather comely female officer. Since Dwight is at that moment on a mission for Old Town with the nearby and concealed Miho, who will kill the cop if anything goes wrong, he pretends to be a Depraved Bisexual and asks her to handcuff him, spank him and call him Belinda to scare her away.

comment
Self-Plagiarism: In Born Again, one of the Kingpin's lieutenants speaks with an excessive amount of Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness, which is played for laughs. Miller would later use the same type of gag when writing Shlubb and Klump (AKA Fat Man and Little Boy). Hartigan's line "On your feet, old man. Show 'em you're not completely useless", is taken from The Dark Knight Returns. In Hell and Back, Wallace shoots a sniper in the eye through his scope. A similar scene occured in Robocop 2, which was also written by Miller.

comment
Dirty Coward: The Yellow Bastard both before and after his transformation is more likely to run away from a fight than stay. Hartigan's former partner Bob is also quite cowardly since he is more willing to turn on his partner and threaten a child than he is about catching the real Big Bad. Shlubb and Klump can be pretty cowardly. Especially in the presence of Dwight since he beat up both of them throughout the one-shot The Babe Wore Red.

Anyone Can Die: Many heroes and villains are offed in both movies. Hartigan and Marv who are two of the three main heroes end up dying. Senator Roark Lampshades this in the second film by saying sooner or later everybody dies in Sin City, which is an ironic line considering his fate at the end of the film.

Card-Carrying Villain: Most of them openly admit to being bad guys. Senator Roark and Ava Lord especially. Ava gleefully seduces men left and right for her own purposes and gives out an Evil Laugh because she knows she can get away with it. Senator Roark openly admits that he killed his wife and gloats that there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it.

Necro Non Sequitur: In Family Values, a mob hitman machine-guns a passing dog For the Evulz while he on a job, causing a Disaster Dominoes effect when a stray bullet accidentally kills an Old Town girl. The girl's lover, also an Old Town girl, has Dwight and Miho systematically bring down the entire crime family, even going so far as to force the hitman to kill his own brother and betray The Don. The girl's lover comes in during the last act and guns down the Mafia heads, including the hitman who killed her girl. To cover their tracks, the heroes frame the Wallenquist crime family, inciting a Mob War which would surely result in even more deaths.

Rasputinian Death
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_13992073
comment
Rasputinian Death: The Big Fat Kill - Manute had previously survived everything from being knocked out of a window, getting shot multiple times, stabbed by Miho, and getting an eye torn out by Marv. Even right before his death, he survives a close-range grenade with what appears to be minor burns. He eventually dies when Dwight and the Old Town girls unload on him and his minions to the point where they are nothing but "wet chunks of meat". Marv survives jumping out of several story windows, fights against multiple lackeys, being tortured for a bit by the women of Old Town, being beaten by the serial killer in the barn, being run over at high speeds twice, and has several rounds of bullets fired into him, and he still doesn't die after that. He also does all of this without eating, drinking, or getting any sleep for literally days. It finally takes the electric chair itself to kill him, and even then they have to shock him twice. Further proved by Marv's last words (before being shocked again): "Is that the best you can do, you pansies?" Marv's main target Kevin survives after having his arms and legs cut off and most of his organs eaten by a wolf yet still calmly breathes till Marv saws his head off. In That Yellow Bastard, Junior Roarke is stabbed, gets his genitals ripped out, and has his head pounded into the floor so savagely that when John Hartigan is done, his head is pretty much gone. He was probably going to die from the stabbing alone but Hartigan had had more than enough of all of his shit.

Rescue Romance: Hartigan and Nancy are a one-way example. When Nancy was 11, Hartigan rescued her from rape and death at the hands of the sadistic paedophile Roark Jr., nearly giving his own life in the process. 8 years later he tracks her down when he thinks that she's been targeted by his enemies. Nancy declares that Hartigan is the only man she's ever loved and tries to make a move on him. He rejects her, both because of their huge age difference and their history.

A neo-Nazi once insulted the bartender at Kadie's. Marv asked her if he should step in but she told him to remain calm. Dwight mentioned that Marv was in an "all too generous mood". The Nazi then began to insult the bartender some more. Marv voiced his displeasure but maintained his cool. The thug then decided it was a good idea to shove a pistol in Marv's face. It didn't end well for him.

The Sociopath
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_19851b86
comment
The Sociopath: Several characters probably qualify. Senator Roarke. He's a remorseless murderer and sadist with a completely warped view of morality, with his only value being continuing his legacy. Beyond that, he cares nothing for his family. He even murders his illegitimate son in cold blood. Junior. He's a pedophilic Serial Killer who only gets away with his crimes because of his powerful father. He is completely devoid of humanity, with his only goal in life being his child killing. Oddly downplayed with Kevin, as he seems like an obvious example. While he doesn't speak or show any emotion, his actions show that he enjoys terrorizing his victims, and he appears completely devoid of empathy. However, Marv's conversation with Cardinal Roarke reveals that Kevin was actually tormented by and remorseful of his habits, until the old man encouraged them. Ava Lorde. She's a highly manipulative woman who uses her sexuality to get her way. She shows no remorse for her crimes, and is completely devoid of empathy. She knows what people are feeling, she just doesn't care. Jack Rafferty is a low-functioning example. Granted, he was very drunk in his segment, but he shows himself to be a domineering, misogynistic man who manages to get him and his friends killed through sheer stupidity. Even after it's clear he's at the mercy of the Old Town girls, he's in complete disbelief that this could be happening to him, showing a degree of narcissism as well.

Daddy's Girl: In the appropriately titled, Daddy's Little Girl. A young woman whose life is entirely controlled by her rich father asks her lover to shoot him so the two of them can be together at last. He eventually goes through with the deed, but it turns out the gun is loaded with blanks and the father beats him to death. The two of them were in a sexual relationship (though it's unclear if they're an actual incestuous father and daughter or just a couple with a fetish) and used violence to turn the father on as foreplay.

Womanliness as Pathos
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_1b39f70c
comment
Womanliness as Pathos: In this series, women (whether good or bad) are quite often the cause of anguish, danger or the eventual downfall of several characters, especially the protagonists. "That Yellow Bastard" opens with protagonist John Hartigan pursuing pedophile child-killer Roark Junior to save the eleven-year-old Nancy Callahan. John saves Nancy and destroys Junior's genitals, but is betrayed by his fellow cops and framed for the crimes himself. While in prison, Hartigan's wife refuses to wait for him, divorces him and has children with another man. Hartigan's only solace during this time are the periodic letters he receives from Nancy, who (under an alias) tells him about her life and how much she loves him for saving her. One day, Hartigan receives one of Nancy's letters with a finger inside, and he confesses to all the false charges so that he'll be released early and able to save Nancy. Upon finding her working as a stripper, Hartigan realizes that he was tricked and has led Roark Junior directly to Nancy. Nancy spots Hartigan in the crowd and immediately leaps into his arms, kissing him, thus accidentally revealing who she is. Hartigan protects her from Junior, and while hiding out, Nancy tries to convince Hartigan to sleep with her, but he refuses due to their age difference. While Hartigan struggles to keep his urges under control, Junior finds them and attempts to kill Hartigan while promising to rape and kill Nancy. Hartigan escapes, saves Nancy, and kills Junior. He and Nancy declare their love for each other, and she goes off to wait for him to find her again. Hartigan, however, realizes that with Junior dead, his father will now scour the ends of the Earth for Hartigan and Nancy, and so he does the only thing he can to protect her—killing himself. "The Big Fat Kill" involves a gang of Dirty Cops trying to shake down and sexually assault one of the prostitutes who are in charge of Old Town. The cops and the hookers have a non-aggression truce whereas they'll leave each other alone, but this broken when Miho kills the dirty cops and gives the police an excuse throw The Lopsided Arm of the Law at Old Town and take it over. This starts a war in which the protagonist Dwight has to protect the freedom of the working girls against an army of cops, gangsters and mercenaries. It's later revealed that Becky, the girl who caused all of this, intentionally provoked the cops and started the war—and she is later implied to be killed because of it. In "The Hard Goodbye", Marv is a hideous, lonely man who pines for Nancy but feels that no woman would ever love him because of his looks. He is shocked when a woman named Goldie takes him to bed and gives him a great night of sex, only to find her dead when he awakens. Feeling indebted to Goldie for giving him the one night of passion he thought he'd never enjoy, he tracks down everyone involved with her death—leading up to Cardinal Roark, brother of the corrupt Senator. Along the way, Marv finds his parole officer, Lucille, tortured and with her hand eaten off, and she is later killed by a squad of Dirty Cops. He is then attacked by (and later teams up with) Goldie's twin sister Wendy. After killing the people responsible for torturing Lucille and killing Goldie, Marv is captured and sent to prison. He endures every torture they inflict and refuses to sign a confession that would allow them to legally execute him, but reluctantly signs the confession when they threaten to kill his mother. The story then ends with him being thanked by Wendy, but executed for his good deeds.

Mr. Fanservice: While the series is known for its alluring female characters, almost every male protagonist has a nude scene and there are plenty of Shirtless Scenes as well. Not to be outdone, while the movie avoids Male Frontal Nudity due to Double Standards in the movie industry, the male leads are played by the likes of Bruce Willis and Clive Owen.

The Ghost: We know that the third Roark brother is an attorney general but otherwise, he's only mentioned a couple times, never shows up in any stories, and is not even named. The movie, understandably, did not mention him at all. Kadie, owner of the eponymous Kadie's Club Pecos. Apparently an overweight transgender woman, she's never appeared in any issue. Herr Wallenquist in the first movie. Finally seen in the sequel, played by Stacy Keach in heavy facial prosthetics making him unrecognizable and ugly.

Poor Communication Kills: There's a man who's trying to convince Shellie to let him into her apartment. Dwight tells her to let him have a crack at the jerk, but Shellie says the guy could get Dwight into all kinds of trouble (paraphrasing) if he knew Dwight was there. Telling Dwight the guy was a cop right there and then instead of being evasive would probably have averted the entire story of The Big Fat Kill.

Pay Evil unto Evil: Marv inflicts on various criminals horrible torture which would maybe even make Jack Bauer sick. He's kind of like Dexter in being a pretty messed up person himself. But when he brutally tortures and dismembers the bad guys, few readers will shed a tear. Lampshaded in the film, when Marv remarks "I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad."

comment
Good is Not Nice: Many of the series' more ethical characters skirt (if not outright embrace) this trope. Perhaps justified, considering that Basin City is a pretty nasty place where most people are either victims or victimizers — being neither of those, in this setting, seems to require a degree of hardassery. Again though, this isn't as clear in the first movie adaptation.

"That Yellow Bastard" opens with protagonist John Hartigan pursuing pedophile child-killer Roark Junior to save the eleven-year-old Nancy Callahan. John saves Nancy and destroys Junior's genitals, but is betrayed by his fellow cops and framed for the crimes himself. While in prison, Hartigan's wife refuses to wait for him, divorces him and has children with another man. Hartigan's only solace during this time are the periodic letters he receives from Nancy, who (under an alias) tells him about her life and how much she loves him for saving her. One day, Hartigan receives one of Nancy's letters with a finger inside, and he confesses to all the false charges so that he'll be released early and able to save Nancy. Upon finding her working as a stripper, Hartigan realizes that he was tricked and has led Roark Junior directly to Nancy. Nancy spots Hartigan in the crowd and immediately leaps into his arms, kissing him, thus accidentally revealing who she is. Hartigan protects her from Junior, and while hiding out, Nancy tries to convince Hartigan to sleep with her, but he refuses due to their age difference. While Hartigan struggles to keep his urges under control, Junior finds them and attempts to kill Hartigan while promising to rape and kill Nancy. Hartigan escapes, saves Nancy, and kills Junior. He and Nancy declare their love for each other, and she goes off to wait for him to find her again. Hartigan, however, realizes that with Junior dead, his father will now scour the ends of the Earth for Hartigan and Nancy, and so he does the only thing he can to protect her—killing himself.

comment
Captain Ersatz: Many of Sin City's characters are homages to previous characters from pulp fiction and film noir: Marv was created as "Conan in a trenchcoat." Dwight is quite obviously based on Mike Hammer. Miller was always disappointed in The Dead Pool (the movie, not the comic character) so he wrote what he thought should be the real final case of Harry Callahan. Enter: John Hartigan. The Yellow Bastard is a horrific case in that Frank Miller has admitted that he was based off of a grown-up (and deranged) version of the Yellow Kid◊, the earliest comic book character and a very popular one for children at that time.

Apathetic Citizens: A very dark variation of this trope.

comment
Frame-Up: In The Hard Goodbye, Kevin kills Goldie and leaves Marv to deal with the police. Marv realises the too-quick police response means he was set up. In Family Values, the Magliozzi crime family orders a hit on Herr Wallenquist's hitman-turned-local-politician for murdering Don Magliozzi's niece years earlier, in spite of a truce currently between the two syndicates. While most are on edge wondering whether Wallenquist will take action or write off the hit as a "business expense", Dwight and Miho massacre the family and frame it as retaliation by Wallenquist for the hit because the hitman shot a stray dog for fun, unknowingly killing an Old Town girl who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Borders on a False Flag Operation.

Adapted Out: The character of Mort (one of Basin City's few honest cops) was written out of the cinema version of That Yellow Bastard. In the comics, Mort is the own who picks Hartigan up outside the prison. In the movie, this was done by Bob. (The extended version still includes a scene where Mort visits Hartigan in hospital.) He does appear in the sequel, though. Dwight's gluttonous Greek ally Agamemnon was omitted from the film A Dame to Kill For. Shelly was also omitted due to Brittany Murphy's untimely death.

Kick the Dog: All the bad guys love to do this but special mention goes to Lucca from Family Values who shoots a dog and ends up inciting a Roaring Rampageof Revenge, a massive No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, and a Mob War. Kevin loves forcing his future victims to watch him eat the ones he's already killed, and locked Marv's parole officer in his basement with their severed heads. Roark Junior is a dog-kicking machine, raping and murdering hundreds of little girls for his own jollies. In fact, he's physically incapable of getting hard without children screaming.

Actor Allusion
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: When one cop advises another to kill Hartigan without hesitation, they're quickly dispatched and Hartigan quips "Good advice". In Die Hard, a terrorist who tells John McClane to kill without hesitation is offed, with McClane snarking "Thanks for the advice". Both played by Bruce Willis, lying on his back and shooting upwards both times. Frank Miller even said that he thought of that very scene from Die Hard when he drew that scenario in "That Yellow Bastard". Little did he know… In the film of A Dame to Kill For, the way Hartigan's ghost talks to Nancy is very reminiscent of Bruce Willis's role in The Sixth Sense. Christopher Meloni playing a cop with marital problems, anger issues, has a dim view of rape and eventually Jumps Off The Slippery Slope? Gee, where have we seen this before? Gail calls Dwight 'Lancelot.' Around this time Clive Owen had also starred in King Arthur (2004), though playing Arthur and not Lancelot. Jamie Chung takes up a sword to become a fearsome warrior in the second movie, around the time she was doing it in another show. Michael Madsen amusingly shows up right after someone else gets their ear blown off. Although this time he's the cop.

Face Death with Dignity: Marv and Hartigan, the former of whom merely snarks at his own execution to annoy the guards, the latter of whom performs a Heroic Sacrifice. The unnamed female character in the short story The Customer Is Always Right fits this trope as well, but it's implied that she put the hit on herself. According to Frank Miller, she took the hit out after breaking up with someone in the Mafia, who swore vengeance.

Deadly Hug: A few times. Dwight does it to Ava at the end of A Dame to Kill For and in the short story "The Customer is Always Right", the Salesman, a nameless hitman, does it to a woman who apparently put the hit out on herself.

Pistol-Whipping
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_3c111ce6
comment
Pistol-Whipping In the original comic (though not in the film), Marv actually criticises Wendy's technique while she's pistol-whipping him in case she harms the gun! But then, he is crazy. And unkillable. After Marv and his parole officer Lucille escape from her cell, he is about to attack some cops. Lucille hits him in the back of the head with a gun and knocks him out in order to protect him from them.

Villain by Default: Many of the villains. Marv has fought hitmen, a police death squad, a corrupt cardinal, and a silent and deadly cannibal whose proclivities the cardinal shared. Dwight took on a vicious abuser who turned out to be a hero cop, a team of Irish "rented terrorists", and a syndicate bent on enslaving the girls of Old Town. Hartigan's primary nemeses were a pedophilic rapist/Serial Killer and his corrupt US Senator father.

Invincible Hero: Ex-Navy SEAL Wallace. While the other protagonists accomplish their goals by either taking a lot of punishment (Marv and Hartigan) or by having tons of back up (Dwight), Wallace almost single handily takes out every one in his way easily, with nary a scratch to show for it. He's also not held back by any particular moral standard like Marv's dislike of hitting girls. The only time he's seriously inconvenienced are when the bad guys manage to sneak up on him and tranq him.

Cavalry Betrayal: When the Federal Agents arrive at the farm, Lucille naturally assumes that they are there to help and yells at them to not arrest Marv, as he's with her. Then they pour boxes of bullets into poor Lucille.

Adaptational Attractiveness
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_557838d1
comment
Adaptational Attractiveness: An odd villain example. In the comic, the cannibalistic serial killer Kevin was a pudgy, middle-aged man with a five o' clock shadow and receding hairline◊. He ended up being played by Elijah Wood in the film. However, this probably makes him even eerier, since it's quite an inversion of how this is usually played. Bob, a short, fat man, is played by Michael Madsen, and the even fatter Senator Roark played by Powers Boothe. In the sequel, Joey, the fat adulterer that Dwight catches, is played by Ray Liotta.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_5663a595
comment
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: The movie moves Dwight's "Most people think Marv is crazy" monologue from A Dame to Kill For to The Hard Goodbye. This works fine in a standalone movie, but in the comics the chronology of that night is very well fleshed out. It's revealed that while Marv was drinking at Kadie's after Goldie's murder two cops were questioning Shellie about Dwight's whereabouts. At that point in the story Dwight is recovering from events in his own story, so he couldn't be anywhere near Kadie's that night. Furthermore, he underwent plastic surgery which gave Dwight his appearance in the movie but that only happened months after the events of The Hard Goodbye, at which point Marv was on Death Row. It seems the films has addressed this by altering the timeline to make the entirety of Dame to Kill For take place before Hard Goodbye. There's also The Salesman, the assassin from "The Customer is Always Right," who later becomes The Colonel, the Big Bad of Hell and Back. Since The Colonel is dead by Boom, Headshot! (and quite deservedly so) at the end of Hell and Back and the events of The Big Fat Kill take place after that story, the Salesman doing to Becky what he did to his "customer" in the other story at the very end of the film adaptation can't exactly happen in Sin City canon unless someone else is the Colonel in the film adaptation of Hell and Back. The first movie has a newspaper near the end of The Hard Goodbye showing a headline involving Senator Roark denouncing the death of his brother. The second movie has as a major plot point Nancy's Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Senator Roark...with Marv's help—thus clearly setting that story before The Hard Goodbye. Some liberties taken with a specific scene of the A Dame To Kill For film adaptation have created another plot hole. Originally, the rookie cops chasing Dwight and Marv into Old Town end up with their car riddled with bullets, but manage to run off on foot and avoid being killed. In the film, however, one of the girls flat out torches them with a flamethrower before they can get away. This...doesn't even begin to match up with the logic and rules set up in The Big Fat Kill, where the entire truce between Old Town and the police is threatened because a corrupt cop is killed by the girls of Old Town. The film version of That Yellow Bastard omits a scene where Hartigan sabotages Junior's car, which explains why he didn't use that as a getaway vehicle rather than heading for the docks.

Wounded Gazelle Gambit
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_567e7c4d
comment
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Ava uses Dwight's violent protectiveness toward women in general to manipulate him into murdering an innocent man. Ironically, Dwight does the same thing to Marv when he recruits him to help rescue Ava. Marv, who Wouldn't Hit a Girl, is absolutely enraged when Dwight tells him how Ava is being tortured at the hands of her husband. Dwight knows he's manipulating Marv, but doubts Marv would really care anyways. Hartigan does it too. He apparently collapses when confronting the Yellow Bastard the second time, to lure him in close. This also causes Junior to let go of Nancy, who Hartigan was presumably worried about hitting. Nancy does it the second film. She cuts her own face and then tells Marv the Roarks did it, knowing that Marv will be so enraged he'll help her attack them. Knowing Marv, he probably would have helped if she just asked.

Adaptational Modesty: Nancy does not dance topless in the film due to a no-nudity clause from Jessica Alba. Marv is nude in his sex scene with Goldie in The Hard Goodbye, while in the film he wears boxer shorts. Dwight appears naked at the start of the original comic The Big Fat Kill, while he's practically fully clothed in the film. The Yellow Bastard is naked when torturing Nancy near the end of his story. He was given shorts in the film. Gail is naked when Manute kidnaps her in The Big Fat Kill, but is merely in her underwear in the film.

Hero of Another Story
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_581f6468
comment
Hero of Another Story: Thanks to the fact that many stories feature Kadie's Bar many characters appear in each other's stories. Marv holds the record for most appearances for a protagonist, appearing in six stories while only being the protagonist of three. Dwight and John Hartigan both have a quick cameo outside of their own stories as well. Wallace is the only protagonist to only be seen in his own story. In the short story "Blue Eyes," Jim is on the run from the mob (and shows a bit of resourcefulness in the process). It's never revealed why The Colonel and Manute are after him, and his narrative significance is merely to be killed by Delia for her Initiation Ceremony into the mob. In "The Babe Wore Red," Private Investigator Bernard G. Zimmer becomes a Posthumous Character due to being brave enough to investigate a drug ring that the mayor and district attorney are involved with.

Rather than a true insult, it just highlights Junior's bizarre preferences.

Pragmatic Adaptation
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: Arguably one of the best examples in a comic book movie. The stories are mostly frame-by-frame adaptations, right down to the cinematography. However, a lot of narration is chopped out, either in small trimmings (removing a fair bit of Frank Miller's infamous use of repetition) or in entire pages worth of backstory, commentary, etc. that would have bogged the movie down. It's done so smoothly that it's not noticeable unless you read along to the movie. A pragmatic example: In the book, Marv escapes from a cell by bull-rushing the door, slamming into it with his shoulder, over and over and over again, until he finally jars the bolt loose from the wall. This is implied to take at least an hour. Since this would have slowed down the movie intolerably, he instead simply wrenches the window bars out of the frame.

The sequel, A Dame to Kill For creates a rather glaring one: Nancy, who is having a Sanity Slippage, badly scars her face when she decided to quit her job as a stripper. Not a big problem, except in the the Sin City segment from the first movie, which chronologically takes place after the new one, she is unscarred and still a stripper. Then again, Dwight's story establishes Magic Plastic Surgery is available, so it's not much of a stretch to assume Nancy simply had the scars removed.

Intimate Artistry: We never do meet the model (Or even see the picture itself), but part of Wallace's Establishing Character Moment in Hell and Back is him showing a painting that he had been hired to create. Despite clearly being intended for some sort of pornographic magazine, Wallace had painted an intimate and artistic portrait that showed the model covered by a sheet instead of being naked because he felt it was the better picture. When his boss laments his decision, Wallace shows that he had also painted the completely-naked version, then rips the nude painting in half in front of him.

But for Me, It Was Tuesday
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_648fe274
comment
But for Me, It Was Tuesday: A major theme of the series is the act of seemingly random violence happening to the wrong person at the wrong time, resulting in the Anti-Hero taking revenge. The Big Bad in these situations often thought nothing of the crime and may not have even initially known the names of their victims. A notable example takes place in Family Values where the Mafia breaks a truce with a rival organization to take revenge for the death of a relative of The Don. Everyone involved is worried about a gang war. It turns out a hooker was killed by a stray bullet. No one thought much about it, except her friends and colleagues, who quickly gather to plot revenge.

Always Save the Girl: Subverted. At the end of The Big Fat Kill, Dwight tricks Manute and his men that Gail is all he wants in exchange for Jackie-Boy's head. The head was filled with explosives, and as soon as it goes off, every girl from Old Town shows up on the rooftops and fires every bullet they have into Manute and his men.

comment
Author Appeal: Frank Miller sure does have a thing for prostitutes, and Sin City is stretching this so far that there is a part of the city that is run by prostitutes. Similarly, count how many times the Nazi swastika appears. This is why the series exists. When he was trying to break into the industry, Miller's samples were all noir, but the industry wanted superheroes so that's what he did, sidelining his crime stories. By the time Sin City was made Miller hadn't drawn a comic in years and decided to finally make the sort of story he wasn't allowed to do and fill it with stuff he loved to draw. For instance, the Tar Pits are just an excuse for him to draw dinosaurs.

A Storm Is Coming: In "The Big Fat Kill", Dwight comments on an approaching storm in noir style: "The night's gotten just about as hot as it's going to get. There's a wild crackle in the air. The wind's got a crazy edge to it. There's a storm coming." This foreshadows things going right straight to hell when the girls of Old Town kill an abusive scumbag named Jackie-Boy who turns out to have been a hero cop.

Chewing the Scenery: There's quite a bit of it in the movie, but it works with the tone quite nicely. Junior though seems to do it the most to the point where you can practically see his teeth marks in the set, both before and after his Karmic Transformation into That Yellow Bastard. Even the comic gets away with this somehow.

Fanservice: A good number of attractive actresses get naked (or wear very little) in the name of art. Carla Gugino brandishes a gun topless and wears a thong, Rosario Dawson is in her underwear, Brittany Murphy is in nothing but panties and a button down shirt, and Jessica Alba is a stripper as well. In the comics, all of these characters are depicted naked at one point or another, even if their actresses weren't nude in the movie. We can also add Miho to the mix. Half of Ava's total screentime in the second film is without clothes. And Sally in the second film is always either topless or in lingerie. No other options. Not to be outdone, the ladies are treated to Dwight getting naked in almost every one of his stories. Hartigan and Wallace also both get Male Frontal Nudity scenes.

Demanding Their Head: In The Big Fat Kill, after someone informs the Mafia of Jackie Boy's death in Old Town, news of which can break Old Town's shaky truce with the police, they send Irish mercenaries who attack Dwight (while he's disposing the evidence) and take Jackie's severed head as proof of his murder. Dwight and Miho later recover Jackie's head from the mercenaries before the mob can get it and use the head to broker a trade for Gail's life. After Dwight hands the head over to the gangsters and takes Gail, he triggers a grenade taped inside Jack's mouth, killing them and destroying the remaining incriminating evidence.

Family-Friendly Stripper: Nancy in the movie doesn't take her clothes off, whereas she's often dancing topless in the comics. Taken to the extreme in the sequel, where Nancy does normal stripper stuff like jumping the stage, spanking herself and getting on all fours yet the scene is played out as self-destructive behavior and Marv even leaves the bar disgusted by the raunchiness, even though it's pretty standard stripper stuff and she's not even topless.

When a helicopter full of armed people shows up, instead of sensibly hiding while Marv does his thing, she knocks him out and surrenders to them. It's the last mistake she ever makes. Probably a justified case given the strain she's been under.

Adaptational Curves: Inverted with Nancy Callahan.

In the film, she's played by the much skinnier◊ Jessica Alba. In modern modeling parlance, comic Nancy would be described as "thick", movie Nancy as "toned".

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: In The Big Fat Kill, the reason Dwight doesn't use his own car to transport the bodies of Jackie Boy and his cronies to the tar pits is because it doesn't have enough trunk space and it needs repairs, plus he fears that the cop that trailed Jackie-Boy to Old Town took his number plate and he'd draw attention driving in the rain with the top down. This isn't mentioned in the film.

 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_7e89ba0
comment
Suspiciously Idle Officers: Detective Liebowitcz seems to exist purely to punch Hartigan in the face. His comic counterpart would show up in later installments, where he's taking orders from a guy who controls a guild for assassins. This trope is inverted when cops actually arrive too quickly to the scene of the crime in Marv's story, clueing him in that they work for the Big Bad and are trying to frame him. He's right, too.

comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero The biggest example is Dwight beating up Jack Rafferty at the beginning of The Big Fat Kill. If he hadn't, not only would Jack be alive but Old Town would've been much safer. Another Dwight example is from A Dame To Kill For. Dwight kills Ava's husband, but that just means that Ava will now be in control of his organization and will pin everything on him. Hartigan's actions at the beginning of That Yellow Bastard also count. He ends up exposing Nancy, leading Junior right to her.

Hartigan, one of the few honest cops in the city, is arrested after saving a little girl from Roark Jr., a vicious child rapist and murderer who is the son of a powerful politician. In the end he commits suicide to protect her.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Basin City's state is never mentioned, though Arizona is the most likely candidate given the desert location with infrequent but harsh winters. Even Marv's execution by electric chair and Dwight's mention of the gas chamber are indicative of Arizona, who switched from the electric chair to gas asphyxiation in 1993.

Murder-Suicide: Hartigan commits suicide after killing Roark, Jr., realizing that he's the only link left leading to Nancy (the latest victim). By killing himself, he ensures that she is left alone. Officer Mort, a minor character in A Dame To Kill For is seduced into helping the Femme Fatale, and murders his partner when he tries to make Mort listen to reason. He then kills himself out of remorse.

It's then revealed he's a hitman she hired to kill her because her mobster ex-boyfriend swore vengeance. "Rats" centers on an escaped Nazi war criminal who is living incognito in the United States, and reminisces about all the people he murdered during the war.

Capitalism Is Bad: Of the Black Market Opportunism type. Basin City is terribly corrupt and in the hands of a minority of political and economical elites, especially the Rourke family, who use their power to get away with regular dog-kicking so base, so vile, so monstrous, they don't even know what a Moral Event Horizon is. They get away with most of it, too, until eventually the working-class, downtrodden, impoverished underdog Anti Heroes defeat or murder them.

Officer Mort, a minor character in A Dame To Kill For is seduced into helping the Femme Fatale, and murders his partner when he tries to make Mort listen to reason. He then kills himself out of remorse.

Laser-Guided Karma
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: Despite the stories often ending with the hero dead or in dire straits, the bad guys usually get what they deserve before all is said and done. Even if they survive, they usually lose whatever they held dear. Case in point, Senator Roark is still alive but he lost his son and has to live with the fact that the Roark family lineage is now cut. Considering this family has lorded over Sin City for more than a century, that's a letdown for him and his one surviving brother. And the film A Dame To Kill For has Nancy killing Roark, effectively ending their reign over the city. The short story Rats has a Nazi war criminal being shoved in an oven. In the movie Becky seemingly escapes with nothing but is killed by The Salesman in the movie's final scene. In the book her segment's based on, she dies along with everyone else.

Major Injury Underreaction

Major Injury Underreaction: There are quite a few bits in both movies where people with grievous injuries don't exactly react how you'd expect people to react. Stuka's reaction to being shot by an arrow through the chest in The Big Fat Kill is downright nonchalant (though some of it can be attributed to shock).

Black Blood
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_94ce4e0
comment
Black Blood: The blood in the film is white. Or, in one particular case, yellow. This is an artifact of the comics it's based on, which are entirely black and white (no gray!) except for the yellow Junior (and his blood). It's worth noting however that it changes from shot to shot and story to story. In "That Yellow Bastard" the blood is always white, save for the Bastard's, but in "The Hard Goodbye" pretty much all the blood is bright red (in the commentary the directors noted that the black blood just made Hartigan's face look muddy instead of beaten to a pulp, so they had to make it red). "The Big Fat Kill" throws consistency out the window in favor of interesting visuals. Jackie Boy is shown with his hand sliced off and spewing white blood, but when his throat is slashed, red blood splashes on Miho's face.

Outside Ride: Marv hopped onto the back of a getaway car in Just Another Saturday Night and found himself on the hood of a cop car a few seconds later. In Family Values Miho rollerbladed after a car, hitched onto the bumper, then climbed into the trunk without the mobsters knowing it. Dwight attempted this in A Dame To Kill For, but failed. In the first Sin City tale, Marv subverted this by actually hurling himself through the windshield of a cop car as opposed to just hanging on.

Big Damn Reunion: In the fourth book, That Yellow Bastard, John Hartigan tries to track down the girl he saved many years ago from the twisted pedophilic serial killer whose Senator father framed him for his son's crimes and put Hartigan away for many years. It turns out that she's grown up to become the gorgeous stripper Nancy Callahan when he realizes that the bad guys have been using him as bait to find her. He tries to walk out when she notices him, freezes in the middle of her performance, then runs straight into his arms with a Big Damn Kiss.

Greater-Scope Villain: Senator Roark and Mob Boss Wallenquist. The former is an immensely powerful and unashamedly Corrupt Politician who can get away with anything while the latter is an immensely powerful crime lord controlling most of the organized crime in the city. While both men are responsible for the greatest evils in Basin City and perpetuate the Crapsack World itself, neither would really qualify as the main villain in any of the stories. Their organizations and influence are so vast that they're usually concerned with larger matters than direct confrontation with the (Anti-)heroes.

Hand Cannon: Hartigan uses a Smith & Wesson Model 29 in the beginning of the film. Later on, he uses a Ruger Blackhawk and a .44 Magnum. Some of the Old Town prostitutes also use Blackhawks, noticeably Dallas. The (likely fake)revolvers Nancy Callahan uses in her cowgirl outfit are stainless Blackhawks. In the sequel, Nancy uses a real gun (specifically Hartigan's old revolver) during her stage acts and isn't afraid to fire very real warning shots at any patron who grabs her.

Heroes Act, Villains Hinder: In Hartigan and Marv's stories, the main characters respond to crimes that happen off-screen to people they have little connection to. Because they decide to act, this leads them to make more decisions and the plot follows them. Dwight is an even greater example. He starts off reacting to Jackie Boy being the plot driver but he takes over the plot when he decides to chase Jackie Boy into Old Town and from there, his actions led to trouble from different directions. The main villain of that particular story doesn't have a part in the plot until the mid-way point.

Shortly afterward, Marv encounters the incredibly agile and acrobatic Kevin who practically dances cartwheels around large, slow, Marv and beats him senseless in a completely one-sided battle. Later in the story, however, he figures out how to neutralize Kevin's agility and comes out on top in the rematch.

More Deadly Than the Male
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_a3458bf2
comment
More Deadly Than the Male: This always happens when Dwight teams up with deadly little Miho. Dwight is a brooding noir hero who can hold his own in a fight. Miho is an extremely agile and deadly Old Town assassin, probably the most dangerous character in the books. Dwight tends to stand back while she slaughters whole groups of enemies in front of him.

Continuity Overlap: The movie has this with "The Hard Goodbye" and "The Big Fat Kill", as both take place on the same night, both protagonists pass at the same bar, and several characters (such as the prostitutes) appear in both. The same applies for Part 2 of "That Yellow Bastard" and "The Customer Is Always Right".

Ava Lord: A sociopathic Black Widow who manipulates the men who fall in love with her into performing terrible actions in order to profit. She doesn't even have the excuse of a hard life or anything to justify her actions, either. She's just a selfish monster. And the kicker is she's also racist.

Crippling Castration
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_a855802d
comment
Crippling Castration: In "That Yellow Bastard", Hartigan's Establishing Character Moment is removing the gun and penis off a pedophile (who happens to be the only son of a powerful US Senator, landing Hartigan in prison for years) to save his victim Nancy. Years later, Hartigan believes Nancy to be in danger and looks for her, trailed by a grotesque little man who stinks and whose skin is bright yellow (in a black-and-white comic). It turns out the yellow man is the Senator's son, whose appearance is due to the multiple treatments needed to grow a new penis (the Senator needed grandchildren). Hartigan defeats him and once again, removes his weapons—both of them, with his bare hands this time—before savagely pounding his head into the floor until there isn't a head anymore.

 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_a89efdf8
comment
Wife-Basher Basher: Marv does not like it when guys rough up girls. At all. His response to a frat boy beating up his favorite stripper Nancy is to "straighten him out but good," mentioning that maybe he went a little too far (which implies that he beat the guy to death). In A Dame to Kill For, Dwight plays upon this in order to recruit Marv for the "rescue mission" of Ava, which he feels rather rotten for as he's doing it. Unfortunately, it's later learned that Ava, the dame of the title, was playing Dwight's own violent protectiveness of women like a two-bit fiddle.

comment
Dramatic Irony: In "That Yellow Bastard", Hartigan goes looking for Nancy Callahan, and is shocked to learn that the girl he once saved is now a drop-dead gorgeous stripper, clearly expecting a homely bookworm instead. The thing is, this is a surprise only to Hartigan, as Nancy had been a supporting character in previous volumes, so readers were already aware of her future. The Magliozzi Crime Families Roaring Rampage of Revenge was launched when Bruno casually killed one of their members as collateral damage while she was in bed with a stoolie, not realizing that she was connected to a powerful, vengeful, close-knit family while remaining oblivious to their hunt for her killer. When Andrea's brother or cousin Vito kills Bruno, he also kills an Old Town Girl as collateral damage with a stray shot, provoking a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the Magliozzi's by a powerful, vengeful, close-knit faction they had no idea they'd wronged by killing a member of.

Worth It: Marv's quest to avenge Goldie results in his death, along with some pretty brutal baseball bat torture, being riddled with bullets and the death of Lucille. Considering the person he was avenging only slept with him for protection and felt nothing for him some might wonder if it was all worth it. But Marv? When he gets confused and sees Wendy as Goldie he proudly says "I got him for you good, didn't I?" For him it was completely worth it and he'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Jack Rafferty is a low-functioning example.

Even after it's clear he's at the mercy of the Old Town girls, he's in complete disbelief that this could be happening to him, showing a degree of narcissism as well.

Ms. Fanservice: Most of Nancy's appearances have her topless, since she is a stripper. Downplayed in the film, due to Jessica Alba's refusal to appear topless. Though in the film, it IS still Jessica Alba as a stripper with killer abs. Ava Lord spends more time undressed than clothed, especially as she's fond of skinny dipping. She uses her looks to manipulate any man to do her bidding. The fact that she's played by Eva Green certainly helps sell her status as a femme fatale. Lucille is introduced wearing just a thong and is later naked in Kevin's basement. And she's played by Carla Gugino. Gail is the leader of the Girls of Old Town, so is a prostitute in fetish gear. And is played by Rosario Dawson.

Bottomless Magazines: In the first part of the film version of "That Yellow Bastard," Hartigan's partner, Bob, shoots him 8 times with a 6 shot revolver without being seen reloading. Revolvers with 7 or 8 shot cylinders are becoming more common in the early 21st Century, but these mostly post-date the film and the period of history it portrays, and wouldn't be seen in the hands of a cop. The only exception is the eight-shot .38 variant of the British Webley-Fosbery, but that was a very rare gun with a very distinctive appearance.

Too Dumb to Live: Jackie-Boy and the mob enforcer from Family Values both made the mistake of using racial slurs towards Miho. A neo-Nazi once insulted the bartender at Kadie's. Marv asked her if he should step in but she told him to remain calm. Dwight mentioned that Marv was in an "all too generous mood". The Nazi then began to insult the bartender some more. Marv voiced his displeasure but maintained his cool. The thug then decided it was a good idea to shove a pistol in Marv's face. It didn't end well for him.

Forgotten Fallen Friend: In a rare case of What Measure Is a Mook? happening to someone on the hero's side, the prostitute Dallas gets gunned down by mercenaries when she, Miho and Dwight fight the mercenaries over Jackie Boy's head, and Dwight doesn't even bat an eye despite being on a First-Name Basis with her. It's only when Miho gets hurt that he gets involved, and gets pissed.

Cop Killer Manhunt: Miho kills Jackie-Boy, realizing too late that he's actually a cop. If the body is found, the fragile truce between the corrupt cops and the Band of Brothels will be broken in the cops' favor, so they need to disfigure and get rid of it.

comment
Splash of Color: That Yellow Bastard (and his blood) are constantly colored yellow after the prologue. Other stories, like "Blue Eyes" and "The Babe Wore Red" featured similar use of color. The movie added splashes of color to stories that didn't have them in print, more due to technical issues than artistic choice.

Percussive Prevention In one of the few times that he hits a woman, Marv from does this to Wendy in order to spare her from watching him torture her sister's killer to death, something that would "give her nightmares." Lucille, Marv's parole officer, does the same to Marv earlier on to stop him from fighting a group of cops she thinks have come to help them after they escape the farm. Unfortunately for Lucille, the cops sent to the farm turn out to be a death squad who proceed to murder Lucille after she tells them what she knows.

Precision F-Strike: Despite all of its many taboos, the comic is pretty tame in terms of language. The one and only F-Bomb comes from Liebowitz when he shoots the Colonel and says, "Make a missing person's case out of this fucker." The last line of the second film, right before Nancy kills Senator Roark.

Executive Suite Fight
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_bf7473fb
comment
Executive Suite Fight: The Hard Goodbye: The last stop of Marv's Roaring Rampage of Revenge through Basin City is Cardinal Roark's 5th story luxury bedroom/chapel. There was also the Lord Estate in A Dame To Kill For, which was the setting for two major fights, including the climax. "Daddy's Little Girl" has a rather tragic subversion of this battle when the main character goes to a rich man's estate in order to fight for the right to marry his daughter. The daughter set her boyfriend up to be brutally murdered by her father. As it turns out, they're in a incestuous relationship and apparently killing poor schmucks turns him on.

Going by the Matchbook
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_c16b3149
comment
Going by the Matchbook: Hartigan finds Nancy with the help of a book of matches in her apartment. He does, however, point out in the narration that it's his only lead. The time period in which the story is set isn't entirely clear; some characters dress like '90s antiheroes, while the cars (equipped with early '90s car-phones) look early '60s at the latest and weapons run the gamut from swords to bleeding-edge sniper rifles. But they had to use the matchbook gag, as the whole premise of the series is "take film noir and turn all the dials up to eleven".

Dies Differently in Adaptation

Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the original comic book, Becky gets gunned down alongside Manute's men by Dwight and the girls of Old Town. In the film, she escapes the ambush and it looks like she has survived. However, a coda at the end of the film shows her being cornered in an elevator at the hospital by the Professional Killer known as the Salesman. This forms a bookend with "The Customer is Always Right" vignette that opens the film.

Dull Surprise
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_c1b2c63f

Dull Surprise: One of the most significant-if subtle-differences between the comics and film is that dialogue that was shouted in the comic is usually spoken quietly in the film. For example, Senator Roark never yells at Hartigan, and Jackie-Boy never raises his voice despite his Hair-Trigger Temper. Also Bob's reaction to Mort shooting him in the eye in the sequel.

Alien Blood: The Yellow Bastard has yellow blood, though this is more of a stylistic choice than an indication of alien-ness. Either that, or it's because of the large number of medical procedures done on him after his castration messed with his body's ability to get rid of waste - the blood, given its color and smell, is a direct result of that.

Shout-Out
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: As mentioned in the Captain Ersatz section, there are many shout outs: Marv names his gun, much like Mike Hammer does in some versions. Nancy's last name is Callahan, which is the same last name of a certain iconic movie cop. She also refers to her car as "this heap" which is something Mike Hammer would often do. The Hard Goodbye is the name later given to the first Sin City story. Raymond Chandler wrote a Philip Marlowe novel called The Long Goodbye. In Hell and Back there is a brief narration by Leibowitz's son that is in the style of romance comics from the 50's. Also in Hell and Back, Wallace is drugged and we see the only full color sequence in the series. The hero has hallucinations of the following: Captain America, Rambo, Dirty Harry, Hellboy, The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, Lone Wolf and Cub, RoboCop, Sgt. Rock, Raggedy-Ann and Andy, a Dr. Seuss landscape, Ronin, Electra, a Spartan, a Hajime Sorayama Fembot, and more. Marv's profile is almost identical to Dick Tracy's famous profile. One of the barflies that harass Marv in "A Dame to Kill for" is wearing a t-shirt that says Hellboy on it. One of the prostitutes of Old Town dresses like a sexy Zorro. Another dresses like Wonder Woman. In A Dame to Kill For, Marv steals a Tucker Torpedo because it was too good an opportunity to pass up. He mentions he "saw a movie about it". The comic version of The Big Fat Kill references Leonidas' delaying action at the Hot Gates, and how a careful selection of where to fight can change the whole battle. From the film: "Die hard." In issue #8 of Hell and Back, Jeremy Duncan from Zits can be seen in the background as one of the students at the school Liebowitz's son goes to.

Retronym
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_c9263989
comment
Retronym: The very first Sin City story was titled just that... Sin City. The series caught on, resulting in future stories containing secondary titles (i.e. Sin City: A Dame To Kill For). Even when the original story was first collected in a trade paperback format, it retained its original title. Word Of God gave it the nickname The Hard Goodbye and that's what Fanon called it when discussing this particular story. When the movie came out, the collected editions added this title. Likewise, this particular sequence in the movie shares the same title. It resulted in a slightly awkward line, however. Every story name drops its own title but this one never contained the line "the hard goodbye" since that wasn't its original name. The line was added to the dialogue in the movie.

Informed Ability: Wallace is said to be a great artist, but we never see any of his work. This is to avoid the usual problems with this trope. If the audience never sees it, there's no need to worry about it living up to the readers' expectations.

We know that the third Roark brother is an attorney general but otherwise, he's only mentioned a couple times, never shows up in any stories, and is not even named. The movie, understandably, did not mention him at all.

Series Continuity Error
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: The Big Fat Kill takes place after Hell and Back, but Dwight is seen driving the 1953 Cadillac Eldorado he took from Vito at the end of Family Values, a story that takes place well after both The Big Fat Kill and Hell and Back. The sequel, A Dame to Kill For creates a rather glaring one: Nancy, who is having a Sanity Slippage, badly scars her face when she decided to quit her job as a stripper. Not a big problem, except in the the Sin City segment from the first movie, which chronologically takes place after the new one, she is unscarred and still a stripper. Then again, Dwight's story establishes Magic Plastic Surgery is available, so it's not much of a stretch to assume Nancy simply had the scars removed. In Nancy's Last Dance from A Dame to Kill For, Nancy has a S&W Model 14 chambered in .38 Special, which is explicitly stated to be Hartigan's revolver. But in That Yellow Bastard Hartigan carried a S&W Model 29, chambered in .44 Magnum. The Model 29 is slightly larger than the Model 14 and has a shroud around the ejector rod. possiblly averted off-screen there is nothing to say that Hartigan never had a S&W Model 14 chambered in .38 Special maybe intended as a back-up weapon.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Hartigan's ghost appears multiple times during Nancy's story in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, which suggests that Nancy has gone insane over the four years since his death. His mirrored reflection at the end of the movie which gives Senator Rourke a Jump Scare suggests otherwise.

Anti-Villain
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_d001c42c
comment
Anti-Villain: Nearly every villain in the franchise is motivated by nothing but For the Evulz or pure Greed. Most of them are utterly devoid of likable qualities. Even comical villains like Klump, Schlubb, and Gordo are involved in some pretty nasty stuff like aiding a pedophile and human trafficking. This makes the only four antagonists who actually do have some better traits stand out quite a bit (particularly the former two). Liebowitz. He's as corrupt of a cop as any other and beats up Hartigan for not signing a false confession. Despite this, he is a devoted family man and eventually turns on the Colonel, going so far as to kill him. In the second film, Liebowitz goes out of his way to warn Johnny to leave the city after he beats Roark in a poker game. Becky betrays her friends in Old Town to the mob, but seems remorseful, is clearly miserable being a sex worker, claims that Manute threatened to kill her mother, and gets caught in a somewhat harsh Contempt Crossfire from Gail and Manute. Don Giacco Magliozzi is a downplayed example. He's a fairly unpleasant mob boss, but he deeply loved his niece Andrea and values avenging her death over continuing a profitable partnership with her Hate Sink killer's employer. If he hadn't entrusted the hit to his Trigger-Happy nephews, who accidentally kill an Old Town prostitute, then he'd barely count as a villain at all. Dirty Cop Bob covers up the crimes of pedophile and Serial Killer Roark Jr. and shoots his own partner. However, he claims that he's only doing so out of fear that the Roarks will kill him and tries to convince Hartigan to lay down his gun for several seconds before shooting him again. In the movie, he claims to hate himself afterward and tries to make amends to Hartigan. While this scene is absent from the comics, in A Dame to Kill For, he's quick to believe that Dwight was set up and shows concern for his new partner.

Bad People Abuse Animals: In Family Values, a Mafia hitman recounts how he "lit up" a diner with twin Uzis, killing everybody inside, then stopped just to shoot a stray dog before making his getaway. This proved to be his fatal mistake, as the collateral damage from this event (shooting a prostitute in a phone booth next to the dog) brought the wrath of Old Town onto his entire organization.

Fake Shemp: Used a lot due to how the movie was shot. Since most of it was green screen, characters could be added in after certain scenes had already been shot. For example, when Marv takes Wendy to Nancy's apartment, Jessica Alba had not been cast yet - so she was added in later. Likewise, Mickey Rourke and Elijah Wood never met until the premiere - despite their characters interacting prominently in the movie.

Breakout Character: In the comics, it was Dwight, who after his first appearance went on to star in two other full-length yarns as well as a short story. In the films, it was Marv, whose portrayal by Mickey Rourke was acclaimed as one of the highlights of the first movie despite him only appearing in one segment. As a result, the sequel film adapts his two other major appearances and features him heavily in one of the new stories.

Continuity Drift
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_de86b894
comment
Continuity Drift: There are a couple of plot aspects in "The Hard Goodbye", that while not being straight up continuity errors, don't quite gel with the other stories. Goldie hooked up with Marv because she was looking for protection, and went to bars trying to find the biggest and meanest looking guy in them. Future stories show that she was the boss of the Old Town girls, a position that certainly would have allowed her the services of Miho, who might well be the most dangerous person in the series. Marv also says that with his looks, he was never able to buy a girl. In the other stories, the only requirement for hiring an Old Town girl is money, and they certainly don't come off as the type of group to turn a customer away just for being ugly.

Loves the Sound of Screaming: Kevin, the cannibalistic Serial Killer from the first story (later renamed "The Hard Goodbye"), is seen listening to Lucille scream in horror from her cell after he hacked off and ate her hand with a big satisfied grin on his face. Roark Junior, the title character of the story "That Yellow Bastard," is a Serial Killer who rapes and murders little girls and who loves to hear them scream. As Nancy Callahan reveals during her Cold-Blooded Torture at his hands eight years after his first attempt on her is foiled by Hartigan, the screams of his victims are the only way that Junior can receive any kind of sexual gratification, to the point of being practically impotent without it.

Ignore the Fanservice: When Ava Lord of A Dame to Kill For allies with Wallenquist, he tells her, "I'll warn you once and only once, Mrs. Lord — do not flirt with me. I have no use for your charms." Interestingly, despite being the most powerful crime lord in the city and having a number of drop-dead gorgeous women who work for him such as the assassin Mariah, Herr Wallenquist is never shown being involved with any woman (or man, for that matter), implying that he's completely uninterested in sex in general.

Call-Forward: In the opening teaser story, "Just Another Saturday Night", for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Marv is commented on his Bernini brand trenchcoat by one of the frat boys that he believed accosted him. This sets up the Running Gag of Marv getting a new trenchcoat each time it's ruined or destroyed. Nancy's Last Dance emphasizes the depth of the bond between Nancy and Marv — which in turn gives new depth to Marv's lines in The Hard Goodbye about how there's nothing Nancy wouldn't do for him, and how it really "gets my goat" when dames like Nancy are "roughed up". In the same story, Marv also mentions "Roarks are hard to kill".

Extreme Mêlée Revenge: In A Dame to Kill For, Dwight has Marv help him rescue Ava. As Marv is beating up the security guards, he notices Manute (who had given Dwight a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown earlier) among them and yells "You! You're the bum who hurt my pal!", before tackling him through a window and beating the crap out of him. After the beatdown Marv sits beside Manute panting, he hears Manute gasp for breath, and continues beating him up. It is later revealed he also gouged out one of Manute's eyes. Let this sink in for a second. Marv is a Determinator who has shrugged off bullets, cars, and all manner of attacks on his person, has thrown people through walls, and has generally proven to be Made of Iron and an Implacable Man...and he beats Manute up so damn badly he tires himself out. That Yellow Bastard gives us the page quote for this trope. Police Detective John Hartigan saved 11-year-old Nancy Callahan from being raped and murdered by Roark, Jr., then was framed for the rape and spent eight years in prison. After Hartigan is released, Roark gets a hold of Nancy again and tortures her. Hartigan doesn't take it well.

Art Evolution: In the first few issues of A Hard Goodbye the characters and backgrounds are drawn with more realistic proportions and with subtler shading, looking more like a standard black and white comic. By the end of the book the art is crystallized into the high-contrast, over-exaggerated, blocky artwork that became the standard of the series.

Ava Lord: A sociopathic Black Widow who manipulates the men who fall in love with her into performing terrible actions in order to profit. She doesn't even have the excuse of a hard life or anything to justify her actions, either. She's just a selfish monster. And the kicker is she's also racist. The Irish terrorists who sever Jack's head eagerly talk about blowing up churches and pubs. They don't even show any concern when their comrades are killed.

Magic Realism

comment
Magic Realism: It's in the crime genre but that doesn't stop it from dabbling slightly with mysticism (Miho, Kevin, the empathic elements of the Farm) or even light sci-fi (Yellow Bastard, the Colonel's operations). There was also the torture technician in The Big Fat Kill who could cause pain with a simple touch. This was changed to Manute in the movie. And none of this is explained, and when its explained, it defies logic in many ways, and in fact a lot of the events depicted in the series are taken at face value by the characters, as if this is just how things work in that world every single day. According to Frank Miller, Miho and Kevin are two sides of the same coin: he refers to them as the "demons" of Sin City, Miho being the "good demon," Kevin being "the bad." This is in reference to their silent, super-violent, sadistic natures, and the fact that both are incredibly difficult to harm.

The Vamp: Ava Lord was an evil (by her own admission) and greedy seductress who manipulated her old lover, Dwight McCarthy, through a Wounded Gazelle Gambit into murdering her husband so she could get her hands on all his money, and then tried to kill him once he had outlived his usefulness to her. As Manute explains, Dwight is not the first man she has destroyed with her deadly wiles. Lampshaded-slash-deconstructed in her admission, as she points out that "evil ruthless seductress" is so cliche nobody believes she can be one...until it's too late. A number of other female characters play this up too, such as the assassins Blue Eyes and Mariah, whose looks are on par with Ava Lord and have a thing for seducing their victims before murdering them. Their boss actually gets annoyed with the former because she keeps wasting valuable time during missions getting into snog-sessions.

Dirty Cop

comment
In "The Hard Goodbye", Marv is a hideous, lonely man who pines for Nancy but feels that no woman would ever love him because of his looks. He is shocked when a woman named Goldie takes him to bed and gives him a great night of sex, only to find her dead when he awakens. Feeling indebted to Goldie for giving him the one night of passion he thought he'd never enjoy, he tracks down everyone involved with her death—leading up to Cardinal Roark, brother of the corrupt Senator. Along the way, Marv finds his parole officer, Lucille, tortured and with her hand eaten off, and she is later killed by a squad of Dirty Cops. He is then attacked by (and later teams up with) Goldie's twin sister Wendy. After killing the people responsible for torturing Lucille and killing Goldie, Marv is captured and sent to prison. He endures every torture they inflict and refuses to sign a confession that would allow them to legally execute him, but reluctantly signs the confession when they threaten to kill his mother. The story then ends with him being thanked by Wendy, but executed for his good deeds.

In the short story Behind Door Number Three there's such a killer who likes to go after prostitutes. The girls from Old Town give him a very karmic punishment when they introduce him to their private assassin Miho.

A Deadly Affair: Subverted in the album "A Dame To Kill For". A wealthy businessman is visiting a particular hooker on the regular, but is worried that his wife will find out and financially ruin him in the process. He attempts to kill the prostitute after cuffing her to the bed, only to be prevented from doing so by the timely intervention of Dwight McCarthy, who had been hired by the man's wife to track her husband for evidence of the affair.

The Alleged Car
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_f237981e
comment
The Alleged Car Nancy's car. "No one but me can keep this heap running." Also the clapped out banger without enough space for all the bodies or enough fuel to get them to the tar pits and a cop-attracting broken tail-light. Also the battered old VW Beetle from Family Values. The ironic thing is, The Heap is a 1957 Chevrolet Nomad, a very desirable car, and the car Dwight is given to ditch at the Pits was a 1957 Ford Thunderbird, both Cool Cars. Part of Dwight's narration mentions that it once was a Cool Car, but after years of abuse and neglect, it became a clapped out banger at the end of its life.

Empathy Doll Shot: Done in a very literal way. Wallace is under the effects of a drug given to him by the bad guys. He finds a dead child in the trunk of a car but all we see is his hallucination: a Raggedy-Ann doll. He knows what the doll really is but actually expresses gratitude that the villains drugged him for that one moment.

Red Light District: Old Town fits into the "hostile" version of this trope, but only if you don't play by the rules — the ladies are the law in Old Town, and trying to mistreat them is not conducive to one's continued survival. The protagonists find allies in the girls in question, and often work with them to take down even worse guys.

Lady in Red: The title character in "The Babe Who Wore Red" is a beautiful Damsel in Distress whose striking red dress is the only object of color in the otherwise black-and-white noir story. She turns out to be a subversion of the trope, as she's actually a nun who considered forsaking her vows.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished
 Sin City (Comic Book) / int_fe614133
comment
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Both in the sense of "body" and "soul" for Nancy. In Nancy's Last Dance, she puts herself through all kinds of degradation—drinking on stage, driving herself mad with rage and grief, cutting (and apparently dyeing) her hair, and cutting her own face to motivate Marv. Frankly, her last line in the film seems to imply she may not be able to return to her normal life.... However, Marv's presence emphasizes that this takes place before The Hard Goodbye—in which we see her back on stage, fully restored to her former glory.

comment
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: It's hard to tell because the comics are largely black and white, but Nancy Callahan is canonically blonde. A young woman working herself through law school by working as a topless exotic dancer off hours, she's probably the kindest and most innocent character in the comics (Word of God calls her "an angel" living in a Wretched Hive). She's acquainted with a lot of the major characters, who protect her from abusive or downright evil men out to hurt her.
