Jack the Giant Slayer (originally titled Jack the Giant Killer) is a 2013 fantasy action adventure film, starring Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane and Bill Nighy. It is directed by Bryan Singer and written by Christopher McQuarrie.In this film based on the folk tale Jack and the Beanstalk, a young farm boy is given a bunch of magic beans that lead to a land in the sky inhabited by giants. When the princess of the nearby kingdom is taken by the giants, Jack teams up with the king's men to rescue her.The original title referenced another "Jack" folk tale which is quite different from Jack and the Beanstalk despite similar elements. | |

Right Behind Me | |
| Jack the Giant Slayer / int_170128e9 | comment |
Right Behind Me: "There's something behind me, isn't there?" is used twice (see 'Ironic Echo' above). Jack thinks the bullies are really scared of him after he defends the princess. But its the Elmont and the Royal Guardians they're scared of, and he realizes it. Elmont himself says it when the giant army is about destroy the same Guardians, and they stop for no apparent reason. Jack is behind the Guardians with the Crown. Hence the Ironic Echo. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy | |
| Jack the Giant Slayer / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Roderick accuses Elmont of this during their fight - of thinking he's the fair knight hero of the story. Ironically, Roderick himself is the only one really deluded: he thinks he's the Big Bad and that Elmont is just a bug to be squashed, when really he's just tiding things over until the real Big Bad takes command - tellingly, after he dies and the giants get the crown, they march over him to Albion as though he isn't there at all. | |

He is however able to cut himself free and climb out of the hot oven thanks to a knife given to him by Jack. | |

Mythology Gag: The golden harp from the fairy tale can be seen a handful of times throughout the film. An egg (though jeweled instead of gold like the tale) can also be seen on the table as Jack is speaking to his children in the final moments of the film. Jack picked it up earlier in the film. | |

A Mythology Is True: The ending flashes forward to present day London, with King Eric's crown now incorporated into the Crown Jewels at The Tower, showing that the original fairy tale is based on actual historical fact! A clue to this is revealed early on — the land is called "Albion", the ancient name for the British Isles. | |

Ax-Crazy: Wicke comes off as just slightly unhinged during a lot of his screen time. Whenever Roderick gives him the cue to either kill someone or that he's going to do it himself, he reacts with glee and excitement, and even when that's not happening, he's usually trembling and/or smiling eagerly about doing whatever it is they're planning to do next. | |

Not the Fall That Kills You…: Subverted when Jack and Isabelle are on the falling beanstalk; they swing on a smaller vine to convert their downward momentum to horizontal momentum and slide along the ground. Played straight with Elmont on the same beanstalk; he jumps off closer to the ground and lands safely in some Soft Water. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Jack the Giant Slayer / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: More of an in-world sequel, unlikely to be filmed. Near the end of the film, set in modern day London, a boy named Rodey grins maniacally at the royal crown (actually the crown of King Erik), carries with him a backpack similar to Roderick's and looks a lot like him (the teeth!). This heavily implies that he is a descendant of Roderick (or at least a descendant of any siblings or cousins Roderick may have had, as he never had any children himself) and plans to do what his ancestor did centuries ago. | |

| Jack the Giant Slayer / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Jack's uncle is never seen again after Jack joins the king's men to climb up the beanstalk. It's implied by his harshness with him prior to this scene that he hated Jack for putting a burden on him and left him to his fate. However, deleted scenes show him turn up just before the climax of the film; Jack gives him all of the gold he earlier received and tells him where to find the horse. | |

The filmmakers have mentioned in an interview that there was at one point female giants in early stages of the script, but were cut out mainly because the director didn't want to have Jack kill any of them. | |

The Needs of the Many: King Brahmwell fears for his daughter's life, but is forced to have the beanstalk cut down before she can make it down safely, to prevent the giants from climbing down to Earth. When Jack saves her life and reunites her with her father, Brahmwell is visibly relieved. What he says to Jack as he gives him a bag of gold for his efforts shows how much his daughter means to him: | |

Hollywood Tactics | |
| Jack the Giant Slayer / int_a6b14ee1 | comment |
Hollywood Tactics: Averted. Both sides use pretty smart tactics in the final battle, including a burning moat that the humans use for defense. To help clarify: The burning moat is done by the humans to deny the giants clear access, forcing them to try and open the drawbridge. The whole final battle revolves around the drawbridge. The giants decide to throw heavy things at the wall in an attempt to sabotage the drawbridge levers and to deny the humans cover when firing at them. The humans respond by trying to ensure that the levers remain still with timber braces. When machinery fails, they resort to pulling the drawbridge closed themselves, resulting in a tug of war between the two sides. In response, the giants set trees on fire and throw those over the walls to undermine their efforts. The humans shoot at the giants with rapid-fire ballistas and scorpions, specifically targeting the tree throwers and the giants pulling at the drawbridge. The giants immediately decide to target the weapons with giant-sized slingshots and thrown weapons. Finally, the giants wear the human side down on the tug of war and use a combined effort to force the drawbridge open. The humans respond by closing the portcullis and falling back to a more defensible location to bottleneck the giants. The portcullis doesn't work long, but A for effort and quick thinking. They resolve to do a Last Stand, but there's no need. | |

Oh, Crap!: The best description of the humans' reaction when they realise the giants are coming down to Albion; Jack spends an unspecified amount of time frantically racing after the king, Isabelle and the knights to warn them, and Isabelle's expression shifts from glee at seeing Jack to dread when she hears what he's yelling even before the giants appear. | |

Stupid Evil | |
| Jack the Giant Slayer / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Stupid Evil: Rodrick does a lot of actions just to show what an evil Jerkass he is; he has his sidekick send four soldiers to their death which in-turn leaves the group with barely any rations. And then he goes out of his way to throw another one off a cliff for no reason despite knowing he's in a hostile territory and could use the protection until he seized control. Debatable: He wanted to control the giants with the crown, and the fewer people who could challenge him for it, the better. Except for his henchmen, all the others were disposable, and rescuing the princess was just the perfect excuse for going up the beanstalk. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Jack the Giant Slayer / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: Whoever wears the crown of King Erik controls the giants. However, this does not make them entirely obedient, and they could find ways of killing the wearer of the crown indirectly, or simply standing by and allowing the wearer to be killed. To expand on this, it appears that the giants have to obey the wearer of the crown only when a direct command is given, and even then they can choose exactly how to carry out that order and at what pace. Roderick orders the giants to "help [him]" during his fight with Elmont and the giants technically do, but in the slowest manner possible so that he's already dead by the time they get to him. Fallon is unable to ask for help in getting out of the burning moat due to the pain so Fumm and the others leave him to his fate. | |

One-Gender Race: In the entirety of the film, there is not one single female giant seen. Even in the giant's fortress, it's inhabited only by males. Though their fortress being occupied only by males could be justified, since it is most likely a military garrison. The filmmakers have mentioned in an interview that there was at one point female giants in early stages of the script, but were cut out mainly because the director didn't want to have Jack kill any of them. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: To the infamous "NOT THE BEES!" scene from The Wicker Man (2006). And to Star Wars, with Ewan McGregor (AKA Obi-Wan Kenobi) saying the famous Catchphrase, "I have a bad feeling about this". The golden harp, shown at least three times in the film, heavily resembles the one in the Mickey and the Beanstalk short in Fun and Fancy Free. The king (Ian McShane) is announced by someone saying "The King approaches". That's also how he was announced in Kings. At one point, one of the giants uses a windmill as a weapon. | |

The Good King: The king is a pretty decent guy. Aside from one serious blind spot early on, he's a good leader who handles himself well, deals with his subjects fairly, and isn't above hard labor right alongside the common soldiers when necessary. He also shows remarkable restraint when dealing with Jack, refraining from trying to intimidate him once it's clear there's some chemistry between him and the Princess. Not to mention he insists on fighting alongside the guards when the Giants attack, and gives Elmont a "Hell no!" when asked to leave. | |

He vouches for Jack with the King when it counts. | |

Never Trust a Title: Apart from the title and the presence of a two-headed giant, this story mostly takes after the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale as opposed to Jack the Giant Killer. Furthermore, despite the title, Jack only directly kills two giants: the giant cook and Fallon (since the helmet-wearing giant died mostly due to his own clumsiness, he doesn't really count). | |
