comment |
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man is a 1991 action film, starring Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson. The film was written by Don Michael Paul and directed by Simon Wincer.Set in the then-future of 1996, Harley Davidson meets a life long friend, a cowboy who is nicknamed The Marlboro Man and they later plan a bank robbery to help save their friend's bar from being foreclosed and replaced with a skyscraper. However, after they rob a bank's armored car, they discover the cargo they stole is the designer drug Crystal Dream, not money. Chance Wilder, who is a bank president involved in drug dealing, demands the return of the drugs. A series of increasingly deadly encounters ensue as heavily-armed assassins hunt for Harley and Marlboro, and the film continues to detail their attempts to escape with their lives. |

Soft Water: Harley and Marlboro jump off the roof of a hotel, fall at least ten stories and land in a pool without breaking anything in their bodies. Lampshaded, as Marlboro was certain they'd be smashed only to express genuine surprise when they do end up surviving. |

Crapsack World |
| Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man / int_21d70919 |
comment |
Crapsack World: Being set 20 Minutes in the Future, it features several motifs consistent with that trope, including protagonists who are rebellious anti-heroes, corrupt businessmen who operate without any civil oversight, increased crime rates (with police not acting either due to corruption, disinterest or being overwhelmed), new designer drugs, skyrocketing cost-of-living and the entire city of Burbank razed and turned into an airport. |

Throw-Away Guns |
| Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man / int_225b682 |
comment |
Throw-Away Guns: Harley tosses his shotgun at a guard during the heist to distract him as he's charging at him (which makes Marlboro admonish him over it), and in the final confrontation Marlboro solves the problem of Chance being unarmed (he doesn't wants to shoot an unarmed man, you see) by tossing him an empty Desert Eagle and then charging at him. |

New Old West |
| Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man / int_3dc6aa5b |
comment |
New Old West: The plot is a gang of outlaw bikers robbing an armored car to save their favorite bar that represents the last bastion of an earlier day in a modern society. Replace the motorcycles with horses, the armored car with a train, and you have a western right there. The fact that one of the bikers actually is a cowboy, and the bar they hang out is frequented by a variety of cowboys and outlaws doesn't hurt matters either. It even ends with one of the heroes riding off into the sunset. |

Honor Before Reason: Despite being an outlaw, Marlboro adheres to a strict code of honor. He rejects Harley's idea to run away when they're being hunted by the assassins, and later refuses to shoot an unarmed Chance despite everything Chance had done, both times because "It ain't right." |

Corporate Warfare: Unfortunately for our heroes, it turns out that the Great Trust Bank has a team of hitmen at its beck and call to secretly (and brutally) eliminate thieves. Said hitman squad is equipped with top-of-the-line weapons and armored longcoats, and although they don't end up using it (but our heroes do), the helicopter that takes them around has a concealed minigun. |

Deadpan Snarker |
| Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man / int_ae3d6438 |
comment |
Deadpan Snarker: There's a lot of this going around this movie, but Marlboro is the most consistent in his snarking. Most prominently in his Snark-to-Snark Combat with Harley. |

Berserk Button: Harley insulting Marlboro's dead father out of frustration merely annoys him. Chance insulting Marlboro's father for real is grounds for a No Holds Barred Beat Down |

Improbable Aiming Skills: By contrast, Marlboro is capable of such feats as Blasting It Out of Their Hands and popping off the gun belt for good measure. |

Badass Longcoat |
| Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man / int_d01cffbc |
comment |
Badass Longcoat: The villains all wear long black coats that not only conceal the assault rifles they carry, but are also BULLETPROOF.note Mostly. The first two mooks are killed by a spray of machine gun fire at relatively close range (though it might have been an accidental headshot) and a shotgun blast (though again, might be due to pellet spray hitting the head). The remaining three, however, all explicitly require headshots to take down. |

Only a Flesh Wound |
| Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man / int_e663d3ef |
comment |
Only a Flesh Wound (with a side of Major Injury Underreaction): The Marlboro Man is shot in the arm twice: once in the forearm with a 5.56 assault rifle round and once in the shoulder with a massive .454 Casull round. In real life, that arm would probably have been damaged to the point of requiring amputation. At the very least, it would have been severely and permanently crippled. Marlboro's reaction to his injuries can best be described as "mild, bemused annoyance", and he is later seen competing in a rodeo, where he uses that arm as if nothing ever happened. |

It Was a Gift: The reason Marlboro continues to wear his shitty, worn-out, duct taped boots is because his father gave them to him before his first ever rodeo ride. |

| Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man / int_f237981e |
comment |
The Alleged Car: Marlboro's first bike that we see him own in the film has a very faulty ignition. After Harley and Marlboro take turns testing the Desert Eagle Harley gifts the latter "putting the bike down", Marlboro goes and steals the bike of the man who took his girlfriend Virginia. We also have a rare case of The Alleged Shoes in Marlboro's cowbow boots. |

20 Minutes into the Future: Made in 1991, it's set in 1996, so technically it's five years into the future from when it was made. |

comment |
Costume Inertia: Marlboro won't change his boots, even though they are older than dirt and the soles keep flaying off now and then, it doesn't matter, they are his father's. The old man probably also used the duct tape. |

Unintentionally Notorious Crime |
| Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man / int_f9a801de |
comment |
Unintentionally Notorious Crime: The idea was to steal an armored truck, and that is what was accomplished. Unfortunately, instead of cash, the gang stole a multi-million-dollar load of the hot new drug on the street, because the bank turns out to be its top distributor. The result: the bank sends its secret group of assassins to get the gang. |
