Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })D.C. Cab is a 1983 movie co-written and directed by Joel Schumacher. It featured an ensemble cast including Gary Busey, Paul Rodriguez, Marsha Warfield, Bill Maher, Adam Baldwin (in his second major role after My Bodyguard), Max Gail (in his first role after eight years of Wojciehowicz), and Mr. T (though only T is featured on the cover).The movie focuses on a down-on-their luck cab company in Washington, D.C. as they attempt to make their way to respectability, fighting City Hall and rival cab companies all the way. After a kiss with that respectability, a kidnapping knocks them back down to earth, and the boys have to rescue one of their own and a couple of cute kids, fighting City Hall and rival cab companies all the way.The movie was a modest earner, making $16 million domestically. It was critically panned, however; many people complained about the movie's heavy use of Mr. T (who was coming off of Rocky III at the time) in its advertising, despite his character being just a small part of the ensemble.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| D.C. Cab / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Two, in fact: a violin and Albert's cowboy boots (they were his dad's, and they were too big for him). Harold's flamethrower also. The prominently placed above ground pool in Harold's back yard was a subtle one. | |

| D.C. Cab / int_4b0ef86e | comment |
Advertised Extra: Mr. T is so associated with this movie, it's called Mr. T and Company in some markets, despite the small amount of screen time he actually gets. It's so bad that in some markets, the poster solely consists of a picture of Mr. T◊, without even so much as hinting at the actual plot. | |

Cool Car: Mr. T has his cab pimped out so that the teenagers who've been hanging around a drug dealer's fancy car will admire him instead of a no-good pusher. | |

Casanova Wannabe: Xavier. Dell is another one, repeatedly hitting on his boss Harold's wife Myrna in exceedingly vulgar fashion. While they're eating breakfast together at the same restaurant table. | |
