Even Evil Has Standards | |
Johnny Handsome / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: While Sunny is willing to ditch Rafe should she find a better opportunity like she tried to do with John post-surgery, Rafe does at least seem willing to stick with her as he feels there's still a connection. Though that doesn't stop him from pulling a gun on her when he thinks she's betrayed him. | |

Downer Ending | |
Johnny Handsome / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: John gets his revenge on Rafe and Sunny, but gets himself killed in the process. As bad as that ending was, it could've been worse, as even if he had survived, he would have still been sent back to jail by Drones, so either way, he would fail to live his new life. | |

No Honor Among Thieves | |
Johnny Handsome / int_5937a87c | comment |
No Honor Among Thieves: Rafe and Sunny betray John and his friends during the jewelry store robbery. They kill everyone off and leave John for dead while taking everything for themselves. It's bad where even trust between the two of them remains suspect. Or at least with Sunny, as she's shown she's willing to turn on Rafe should a better opportunity arises for her. | |

Unholy Matrimony: Subverted with Rafe and Sunny. While the two of them are often together, they are not a couple. They used to be, but things didn't work out. | |

Johnny Handsome / int_63389b0b | comment |
Kids Are Cruel: In one of their therapy sessions, John recounts to Dr. Fisher a story about his childhood: on Halloween, little John wore a costume of a jack o'lantern before another boy removed the pumpkin head and teased him in front of the other kids about not needing a costume. The others ended up laughing and John proceeded to beating him up. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: Lt. Drones is on John's case, confident he would fall back to his old life style despite others having faith in him. While he does, it's not because of him resorting back to old evil ways but just to get his revenge. | |

Johnny Handsome / int_b034d333 | comment |
Film Noir: With an 80's touch. There's a neon-lit criminal underworld, double crossings, a determined cop with a fadora, and a doomed romance between the main character and his innocent sweetheart. | |

Johnny Handsome / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Rafe Garrett and Sunny Boyd are a pair of robbers (whom had a former relationship) who aid John Sedley and his friends in a robbery. But then they end up killing his friends and leaving John for dead while taking the goods for themselves. And before then, they make insulting comments about John's deformities. And they're also insulting towards each other. Later on, after John resurfaces under a new identity after reconstructive surgery, he plans revenge and earns their trust by staging a robbery. They go through with it, with Sunny trying to ditch Rafe for Johnny, but he tells them he would meet them later on at the cemetery. And before the meeting, Rafe and Sunny go to John's place and discover the truth about him and kidnap his Love Interest. When they finally do meet, Rafe taunts him about who he really was and takes sadistic glee cutting and punching John's face. | |
