| Plunkett & Macleane | comment |
Plunkett & Macleane is a historical action comedy, released in 1999. The titular characters are based very, very loosely on real life highway men William Plunkett and James Macleane. The story itself? Pretty much nothing to do with them.Set in 1748, when highwaymen are plaguing the wealthy along England's roads, the film a revolves around the criminal partnership of the titular characters. Macleane (Jonny Lee Miller) witnesses a robbery gone wrong when Plunkett's young partner is killed by Thief Taker General Chance. Desperate to clear his debts, Macleane attempts to retrieve a valuable ruby the deceased partner swallowed before his death. Unfortunately at the cemetery he's confronted at gunpoint by Plunkett (Robert Carlyle). Things take a bad turn for both parties when Chances men arrive to arrest them forcing Plunkett to swallow the ruby before their capture.Realising Macleane's higher social status will allow him the means to bribe them both out of prison with the jewel, Plunkett proposes a new partnership. Macleane begins living among the rich, gaining inside knowledge so Plunkett can figure out how to rob them blind. Beginning a lucrative and highly risky business venture together. As their notoriety spreads, General Chance grows more eager to catch them in the act and Macleane begins to complicate things further by falling for one Lady Rebecca Gibson (Liv Tyler).As a whole the film is your classic tale of unlikely partners becoming friends that just happen to be criminals in the 18th century. Expect entertainment and humour to take precedent over strict historical accuracy. | |

The Gambling Addict | |
| Plunkett & Macleane / int_11630eaa | comment |
The Gambling Addict: Macleane is eager to play just about any game, be it cards, roulette or even betting on cockfights. We never see him win anything, yet he just can't stop himself. There is no amount of money that he wouldn't be able to squander on his uncontrollable addiction. | |

Honor Among Thieves | |
| Plunkett & Macleane / int_128e9efd | comment |
Honor Among Thieves: Plunkett swears revenge for his partners death early on and then saves Macleane despite him bringing his hanging on himself and spending all their money. Macleane doesn't share this this sentiment initially but comes to respect Will and regret his selfish actions later on. Even coming back with Rebecca in the tunnels to save Plunkett from Chance's men. | |

Mr. Fanservice | |
| Plunkett & Macleane / int_1b4e322c | comment |
Mr. Fanservice: Macleane obviously. However Plunkett has a different appeal. Rochester calls him a "delicious bit of rough," and after Plunkett's honourable performance during the duel with Chance, news of his bravery (and his visible injury) lead to some marked interest from a few of the ladies in Macleane's acquaintance. | |

The Dandy: Given the setting, every man that can afford it. However, two stand out more than the others. Rochester, who is a fashion- and fun-loving guy, with seemingly Unlimited Wardrobe at his disposal. Macleane naturally gravitates toward this whenever he gets his hands on any sort of money, and part of his constant financial ruin comes from this. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Plunkett & Macleane / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Possibly one of the least noticeable anachronisms but when Lady Gibson comments on General Chance having halitosis, the script fails because halitosis was actually a term made up in 1921 by the manufacturers of Listerine. | |

Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense | |
| Plunkett & Macleane / int_2b2abf36 | comment |
Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Invoked, discussed and exploited. As far as Plunkett is concerned, all they need to do is find exactly this kind of people - for which Macleane's pedigree comes into play - and then just rob them blind. Unfortunately for them, that's also part of Macleane's personality. | |

Honor Before Reason: Plunkett when he allows Chance his shot in a duel. Despite having every right to deny him, since the general cheated, simply to show him he was the better man. In fact Plunkett's sense of honor causes the above duel in the first place. | |

A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: Macleane is already destitute at the start of the story and proceeds to waste in gambling whatever money he is ever given through the story. A throwaway line by Rochester implies he was in debtors' prison for the second time. He has a fall-out with Plunkett in the end when it is revealed he also gambled away their savings for starting new lives in America. | |

Working-Class Hero | |
| Plunkett & Macleane / int_73f8d546 | comment |
Working-Class Hero: In contrast to Macleane's Upper-Class Twit, Plunkett is a no-nonsense, serious and goal-focused man with no vices of any kind, but also no title and hard working for the most of his life. He also lacks any pretense of remorse or hiding behind morality when it comes to the life of a highwayman. Oh, and he's constantly baffled by the foppish fashion. | |

Impoverished Patrician: Macleane is but a beggar when we met him for the first time, but he does have enough pedigree to pass himself as a gentleman. It's not entire clear if he has any sort of title to his name (he used to be a captain, presumably the army one), but one of his early conversations with Rochester implies he might have squandered his estate in the past. | |

Gentleman Snarker | |
| Plunkett & Macleane / int_89ed9b94 | comment |
Gentleman Snarker: Lady Rebecca Gibson is a female example. She is described by Rochester to be "very choice, very choosy" when it comes to her long line of unsuccessful suitors, sending one off in the same scene with a particularly barbed remark. Though unheard by the audience, the reaction of the suitor indicates the remark was particularly vicious, though probably deserved. Even with the man she likes, her initial flirting has a particularly snarky and mischievous tone. | |

| Plunkett & Macleane / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Rooting for the two rather unscrupulous highwaymen — other than the fact that they both turn out to be not quite so unscrupulous after all — is certainly made a lot easier by the fact that the people who they steal from are pretty much uniformly complete and utter dickwads. | |

Tuckerization: Dixon and Winterburne are the names of two players - Lee Dixon and Nigel Winterburn - for the English football team Arsenal during the late 1980s/early 1990s, and part of Arsenal's famous "back four". | |

Defiant to the End: Despite the fact Macleane is about to be wrongly sentenced to death for murder, he regrets only one thing. And lets the Lords, Ladies and Judge watching know it. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance | |
| Plunkett & Macleane / int_abad35b4 | comment |
Soundtrack Dissonance: Despite being ostensibly a period piece, the music during a ballroom dance scene is something you'd expect in a late 90s dance club - and it's explicitly the soundtrack, rather than the tune the characters are dancing to in-universe, so their movement doesn't exactly match the rhythm, either. | |

Snobby Hobbies | |
| Plunkett & Macleane / int_b6f6226 | comment |
Snobby Hobbies: Macleane loves playing cards, exquisite clothes, playing cards, fine dining and wine, dancing, romancing and playing some more cards - and he is a terrible player. He is introduced to the audience while doing time in debtors' prison. Plunkett only ever gets involved with him, because Captain James Macleane can pass himself off as a gentleman, which is handy for their highwaymen gig and opens even more doors. Once the money starts rolling, Macleane turns into a full-blown Upper-Class Twit whenever not on the job and what's not wasted on gambling, he spends on newest fashion. | |
