Sucker Punch is a 2011 American psychological action fantasy movie released by Warner Bros. and directed, written and co-produced by Zack Snyder (his first film not to be an adaptation of any kind). The cast includes Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Carla Gugino, Oscar Isaac, Jon Hamm, and Scott Glenn.It's the story of a young woman called Babydoll (Browning) and her Fire-Forged Friends, who together plan escape from the insane asylum where they're all being held against their will. Unable to cope with the trauma of being trapped there, Babydoll imagines the asylum as a vivid fantasy world instead. But she soon discovers she can't quite cope with her fantasy world, either... which is when things get complicated.Not to be confused with the video game company of the same name. For an actual sucker punch, you'll have to Talk to the Fist.

All Men Are Perverts
 Sucker Punch / int_129749df
comment
All Men Are Perverts: Most of the men are depicted as sexual predators who want to have their way with teenage girls. With the exception of the Wiseman/Bus Driver and arguably the Lobotomist/High Roller in the extended cut. It's subverted towards the end though as the rest of Blue's croneys are disgusted at what he keeps doing to the girls, especially when he wants to rape a lobotomised Babydoll.

Bloodless Carnage
 Sucker Punch / int_135b9977
comment
Bloodless Carnage: The blood in the movie is very sparse. Even when two orcs are thrown into a propeller. Each type of mook has its own special blood substitute to spray out of their wounds: light, escaping steam, weird dust stuff - even the robots give off sparks. Babydoll cradling her sister in the beginning of the film, and coming away with blood on her fingers. Another: Immediately after the lobotomy, the lobotomist/High Roller drops the spike used into a dish of water; the camera cuts to a close-up and we see the blood swirling around and up. The shortage of blood up to that point makes it all the more chilling.

 Sucker Punch / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: Four animated promotional shorts were released which gives some back-story to each of the four worlds Babydoll's action fantasies take place in, such as the three samurai golems being in service to a lord that travels the world, slaughtering civilizations and absorbing magical artifacts to gain power. The castle that is under siege is home to an orc dragon cult, the robots in the train blow up the city to free themselves from its oppression. They also explain the concept about treating humans as humans, in various ways, mostly the army story.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Sucker Punch / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: Despite the empowerment messages of the film, the trailers and TV spots generally focused on the "hot chicks in skimpy outfits" aspect. The marketing may have been a factor in the film's poor box office take and reception. They also played up all the Cyberpunk Actions scenes being the main focus of the movie. They most certainly weren't.

Necessary Drawback: Respectively, Blondie and Sweet Pea are Lightning Bruisers in melee and in guns. If they switch, they become Mighty Glaciers. Rocket is a Glass Cannon in guns, but is a Fragile Speedster in melee. Amber is practically a Squishy Wizard without piloting anything. But as for the machines that she pilots, the Mini-Mecha is a Lightning Bruiser, the B2-Bomber is a "Black Mage" and the Huey is a "Red Mage".

Stripperiffic: Played with. The skimpiest outfits only appear in the action sequences. They're sexy but not as extreme as most examples, and being able to move about in them is justified by it being Babydoll's fantasy. The brothel costumes are similarly skimpy because...well, it's a brothel. When not performing and in the mental hospital, the girls' outfits are more modest.

Faceless Goons: German zombies in gas masks, fantasy knights in face-covering helmets, and mirror-faced robots. The samurai tengu/oni things have no faces to speak of, but their masks give them distinct appearances. Averted with the orcs, but aside from several shots, the camera doesn't focus on them long enough to get a real good look at their faces most of the time.

Chekhov's Gun
 Sucker Punch / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: Blue arranges Babydoll's lobotomy and forges the paperwork in exchange for money from Babydoll's stepfather. Dr. Gorski never agreed to the operation and realizes her signature had been forged, and the police stop Blue from raping Babydoll post-lobotomy. "Paradise" is mentioned throughout the film, usually as a place of escape. It happens to be the name of a nearby diner/bus station. The gun briefly shown in Babydoll's stepfather's desk is the same gun she uses in her attempt to kill him — and also appears to be the same one that is her firearm of choice throughout the combat sequences. Babydoll's sister has a pink stuffed rabbit. Amber's mecha has a pink rabbit drawn on it. The spilt water was emphasized a couple of times before the radio shorts out from its wire getting wet when Babydoll is performing for the chef.

Ironic Echo: "You have all the weapons you need. Now fight." This is last said is only seconds after it has been revealed that Babydoll could have saved herself from the lobotomy at any time simply by informing the doctor that Blue intended to forge her signature. She knew this, but in her delusion she believed that Blue was running the place and that the doctor was powerless against him, or that she actually wanted it.

Anachronism Stew
 Sucker Punch / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew When half the movie is hallucinations, this doesn't come as a surprise. These scenes may not take place in the same world. In one scene the girls are fighting Orcs and armored knights using modern firearms, bombs made out of propane tanks and a B-25 Mitchell bomber with 50. cal mounted machine guns. In another scene, they use their shotguns, M4 carbines, Colt 1911 and katana against robotic future cyber-guards, or said modern firearms and a Humongous Mecha in a World War 1 setting against steam- and Clock Punk zombie Imperial German soldiers. Although the referenced action genres did exist in the '50s in one form or another, most of their tropes hadn't completely crystallized. The visual style of the action scenes wouldn't have developed until at least 40 years later. The B-25 itself is a meta example, having a jet engine in place of one of its props. The Expanded Universe focuses on several of the enemies. The samurai crossed the multiverse to get at Baby Doll (at one point winding up in Gulf War II-era Iraq) and the Imperial Germany zombies are made from steam and machinery. The music in the brothel setting; "Love Is the Drug" (used in a cut scene) came out in 1975, not the 1950s, and that's about the earliest-released song in the movie though the brothel sequence was a hallucination. Babydoll and Sweet Pea are able to sneak past the guard at the front door because he's wearing earphones — either white iPod earphones, or just as likely period-appropriate earphones.

Spiritual Successor: It's virtually impossible to talk about this film without bringing up Inception, with its use of multiple dream layers to screw with audience's perceptions. There are some similarities to Bridge to Terabithia which also featured characters creating a fantasy world as escapism from their tormentors in the real world. Amusingly enough both movies suffered from Misaimed Marketing, where the fantasy aspects were played up and trailers mistakenly advertised them as straight up adventures.

Plot Armor: The Amazon Brigade appears to have this during the first three "dance" sequences. Justified in that the fantasy sequences metaphorically represent the successful execution of their plans. The Plot Armor appropriately drops in the fantasy for Rocket when she gets killed in the bordello reality, but not in the asylum according to Word of God.

 Sucker Punch / int_2d8da79
comment
Clueless Aesop / Lost Aesop: The argument about the perspectives and validity of these is quite contentious. Feminism means acting like a whore. Women die when they try to do manly things. Baby is a doll and a babe and being turned on by her innocence is the director's fault, not the viewer's. Boobies all over the place and all of the Fanservice means Sucker Punch is a comic book film. Trying to escape is bad. There is no such thing as sacrifice for a bigger cause. Blue gets away with everything that he did. Some more perspectives. It's okay to blame a director for being turned on by a movie about women being borderline raped most of the time in a way which is never shown on screen. It's okay to exploit women if you say that isn't your intention.

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: The girls ALMOST get everything they need, but one thing is missing... In the temple fantasy, Babydoll gets the information she needs but then has to defend herself against giant samurai monsters. In the WWI fantasy, they have the man with the map cornered...but he escapes with the map into a Zeppelin. In the castle fantasy, they have the stones to make fire...until the dragon's mother shows up. In the train fantasy, the bomb is defused...but gets reactivated by a robot they missed.

Amber is practically a Squishy Wizard without piloting anything. But as for the machines that she pilots, the Mini-Mecha is a Lightning Bruiser, the B2-Bomber is a "Black Mage" and the Huey is a "Red Mage".

Schizo Tech: One sequence features WWI Tommies with their Lee-Enfields, bayonets, and Lewis guns fighting steam-powered zombie Germans with Mausers and Maxims, while bi/triplanes duel around giant zeppelins overhead. Into this, drop our protagonists, using, among other things, an M4 carbine, an MP5 SMG, and an M249 LMGnote (a mocked-up Daewoo K3, with the front sight and gas tube a giveaway), all with modern accessories, and a Mini-Mecha with a computerized display. Oh, plus Rocket's flintlocks. The sequence afterward features the girls using a B-25 against a castle being besieged by knights, and the sequence after that has them using a Huey on a distant planet against a rocket train with robots with laser weaponry.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: Babydoll gets lobotomized and the rest of the crew is possibly dead, but Blue and likely Babydoll's step-father get punished, and Sweet Pea can start a new life outside the Lennox House. Slightly sweeter in the Extended Cut, where the final scene before Babydoll is lobotomized has her meet the High Roller, only to have him turn out to be a warm, charming man. He tells her he doesn't want to "take" her and instead wants to know her, wants honesty and the person that she is and he'll give her all the freedom she could possibly have; the subtext is that Babydoll's Heroic Sacrifice is actually more rewarding, as she has finally escaped Lennox House in her own mind. Also not as bittersweet if one accepts that none of the girls died in reality. Yes, they're still insane and in the Lennox House, but with Blue arrested, their tormentor is gone and they're left under the supervision of Dr. Gorski, who only wants to help them recover.

Vanessa Hudgens has described her as "The Tough One". Also notable in the WWI fantasy - she uses a lot of hand-to-hand combat while the others rely on gunfire. In the castle fantasy Blondie is also in charge of the bigger guns on the plane.

Alternative Character Interpretation
 Sucker Punch / int_5e7163c9
comment
Alternative Character Interpretation: invoked Babydoll views the High Roller—the lobotomy specialist—as an evil, slimy, threatening man, but in reality he's extremely reluctant about his job, viewing lobotomy as flawed and inefficient, especially since his latest patient wasn't in need of a lobotomy at all. The rest of the orderlies are much the same—they're depicted as passively malicious and threatening from what we see of them in the hallucinations, but after the lobotomy, they've had enough of Blue and stop him from raping Babydoll. In addition, the asylum's psychologist, Dr. Gorski, notes that she tried to reach out to Babydoll in reality but Babydoll didn't respond, whereas in the hallucinations, Babydoll takes her lessons to heart. Gorski is intimidating when introduced in the fantasy world, but isn't anything like that in reality. Her role is interpreted as the person trying to reach out and help her in both universes - in the asylum universe she perceives Babydoll's actions incorrectly and she cannot offer the aid she needs, while in the brothel universe Babydoll takes the role Gorski represents and her intentions and brings them to fruition. In the brothel reality Babydoll reframes her limitations as someone actively working against her kindness.

Heroic Sacrifice
 Sucker Punch / int_6439de78
comment
Heroic Sacrifice: Rocket does it for Sweet Pea, shown both in the hallucination fantasy and in the "real" world fantasy—she makes Sweet Pea leave and stays on the train when the bomb explodes, and she takes the knife for Sweet Pea when the Chef tries to stab her. The fifth item to escape the asylum is a mystery that will require "great sacrifice" but will provide "perfect victory." It turns out that Babydoll is the sacrifice in order to allow Sweet Pea to escape.

Brought Down to Normal: The girls, whenever one of the "dance" segments ends. Most of the genuine conflict in the movie occurs in the brothel and the asylum. Despite the gratuitous action scenes, the audience only sees blood in the asylum.

Ironic Nickname: Blondie is a brunette. Rocket's jetpack doesn't work. Babydoll, age 20, is one of the more mature girls. Sweet Pea is very cold towards the others. Amber's name (in Gaelic) means "fierce". She's quite docile and submissive.

Foreshadowing
 Sucker Punch / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The words Wiseman gives are full of it, the most obvious example being the "One more thing" he tells the girls to do/remember before each mission. They always fail to follow his advice and it always causes them to come close to failure. When in the real world, Blue calls Babydoll's stepfather "Father"; once we transition to the brothel, he is a priest. The opening lines: When Babydoll is admitted, she sees the four objects needed in the fantasy. The first "dance" acted out by Sweet Pea is Babydoll's lobotomy, which she stops because she doesn't think it is sexy. She removed her Babydoll wig to reveal that she is sitting in the lobotomy chair, suggesting that she is the protagonist. Also, her line about a lobotomized vegetable not being sexy comes back in the end, when post-lobotomy, Blue is too freaked out by creepy Babydoll to find her sexy. invoked The titles of the songs give away a number of details, starting with "Sweet Dreams" and finishing with "Where is My Mind?". The first fantasy begins with Björk's "Army of Me." The simple way the therapy/social room in the mental asylum is simply called a "theater", alluding to what the girls end up doing in the brothel. There is a painted dragon on the wall in one of the bordello rooms opposite the one Rocket takes Babydoll to. Blue says "it's quite a show" when Dr. Gorski works her magic with the patients in the institution. The knife Babydoll steals from the Chef and later uses to stab Blue conspicuously lands at Amber's feet when the dance ends, and then vanishes when Blue and the others arrive moments later. Babydoll's katana is engraved with a symbolic retelling of the whole movie, with images such as bullets, straitjackets, airplanes and a skull being lobotomized.

Made of Iron: Especially in Babydoll's first fight against the samurai, where she is smashed, dragged, and slammed several times by hulking Samurai — and still manages to decapitate them all. It is her fantasy though, so it isn't that unbelievable. The German field commander shrugs off an entire bunker falling in on his head. He's implied to have undergone the same "treatment" as the soldiers, though. The German courier shrugs off falling out of the sky and landing on his face against a trench wall.

comment
Fix Fic: Many fanfics have Babydoll surviving the lobotomy with memories, or avoiding it altogether. There are also a few with Rocket surviving being stabbed (which is understandable since it was never shown where she was stabbed and may not have been a fatal injury, and Word of God actually states that none of the girls died in reality).

 Sucker Punch / int_a4905771
comment
Double-Meaning Title: Three or four ways the title can be seen: A cynical look at Male Gaze (a sucker punch to the audience) and its effects on women in real life. The sucker punch which comes to Baby Doll as the catalyst and finale of the movie. The sucker punch Baby Doll applies to the asylum. In the director's cut, the sucker punch is that the High Roller is quite careful and does care about these women's welfare.

Mood Whiplash: All over the place, and especailly in the Director's Cut, where Babydoll meets the High Roller, and he is a charming gentleman, who she willingly begins to have sex with after he offers her the idea of the freedom within her own mind, only for a very lovely scene to be hard cut with the hammering of the spike as Babydoll is lobotomized. Earlier on there's the "Love Is A Drug" number showing the frivolity in the brothel, which abruptly cuts to the girls in bed looking troubled as they hear Baby Doll crying in the bathroom.

Ultimately subverted; Blue gets caught and Baby Daddy will likely get his comeuppance for his crimes against his stepdaughter, as Blue is heard swearing to the police that it's the stepfather at fault and that he'll tell them all about him and the money as he's dragged off. Possibly played straight with the Chef. Aside from Blue screaming and beating him after he fatally stabs Rocket. Word of God says that none of the girls died in reality, but the movie leaves it open. invoked

Dull Surprise: Justified, considering the immense pain and confusion Babydoll goes through in the movie. Babydoll's expression never really seems to change. It's like she's perpetually scared, in shock and horrified, even in the midst of her badassery. In the extended cut, she does show emotion in the scene with the High Roller. She does show some great "Fuck You/Don't you Dare" faces at Blue whenever he tries anything with her too. She also smiles while "killing" the robots.

Doublethink: The entire story run on this, as the character(s) live simultaneously in two or sometimes even three different levels of realities, requiring quite a bit of multitasking from the audience if they are to have any real clue as to what's going on. Babydoll did help Sweet Pea to escape in the real world. This means that she must have been active in all three realities simultaneously, and accomplishing real deeds while trapped within a dream within a show within a hallucination.

The other patients are the whores, Blue and his fellow orderlies are the pimp and his crew, Dr Gorski is the madam, the security guard is the mayor and the lobotomy surgeon is the High Roller. On a more Mind Screw level, Wiseman turns out to be a friendly bus driver, while the boy in the WWI fantasy that Sweet Pea looks at is a fellow passenger.

Informed Ability: Because all of Babydoll's dance scenes segue into her crazy action imaginations, we have only other characters' reactions to support the conclusion that she could dance the pants off the High Roller. This could be a metaphor for what was really happening or alternatively giving up the dancing to give way to a more empowering vision. The effect that the dances have on the watchers is represented by the gratuitous action sequences.

Spiritual Antithesis
 Sucker Punch / int_ce2969d8
comment
Spiritual Antithesis: It shares a lot in common and directly conflicts with Fight Club as such.note  both about person who goes insane due to many MANY issues and changes the world through "characters" they imagined / imaginary friends, a guide, with help from a team; while Sucker Punch is feminine focused, Fight Club is really masculine and violent. Fight Club is about too much of anything (anti-consumerism, inhibition) and Sucker Punch is also about that in a very different sense (too much violence against women will hurt you in the end/rape culture is bad/don't be a perv). Sucker Punch is all about the characters and their mental growth and goal getting, Fight Club is about the big theatrical audacity of the characters to do what they do. Both feature excessive metaphorical violence and both have an anti-accepted culture sentiment - rape culture and mass consumerism mostly, but other side morals slipped in about freedom. Both also have key character development at about the 20 minute mark, confidence wise. And both feature versions of the song "Where Is My Mind?", Fight Club featuring the original by The Pixies, and Sucker Punch features a cover by Yoav and Emily Browning.

Animesque: The overall style tends towards this. The first action sequence is a pastiche of Japanese-based stuff, and the first fantasy sequence boils down to "let's see how much anime we can squeeze into live action" and is highly reminiscent of Grenadier. It went to the point that before its release, some people thought it was a live-action Sailor Moon.

Decoy Protagonist: It turns out that Sweet Pea is the true protagonist of the story, while Babydoll is only the means to help her escape the asylum. Sweet Pea's first lines are a plea to Madame Gorski in the brothel: "You gotta help me. I'm the star of the show, remember?" However, due to the way the story is set up, Sweet Pea is really only the "true" protagonist if you, the viewer, want her to be.

Male Gaze: Played with. Some parts like in the brothel occasionally it's all up there, but in the asylum and most of the "Dance" sequences it's kept to a minimum. The audience is meant to see it, so a subversion, except when you see it from "Blue's" point of view. May also be seen to zig-zag itself. Also lampshaded as they are working an a strip club/brothel/burlesque club, but instead of it being just the accepted thing that the girls get stared at, the audience, if empathetic/sympathetic enough will be able to feel the women's uncomfortableness with the constant male gazes upon them.

Mandatory Twist Ending: Zig-Zagged. Yes, it's all in Babydoll's head ... until it turns out she actually did everything for Sweet Pea to escape. And then it's heavily implied those weren't hallucinations when Sweet Pea comes across two people that only existed in Babydoll's hallucinations. They may have really been in Sweet Pea's imagination all along.

Gorn: Surprisingly averted. Aside from Legend Of The Guardians The Owls Of Ga Hoole, most Snyder films kick the gibs-level into high gear. Here, all you have are chopping up robots and shooting steam powered WWI era German soldier zombies. Instead of blood, when they're shot they release the steam that allows them to move. Even in the Castle Storming sequence (when two Orcs are tossed into a propeller, and a dragon's throat is slit) bloodshed is minimal.

Walking Armory: All of the girls except for Babydoll carry at least two firearms and a melee weapon of varying size, which wouldn't be out of the ordinary if those firearms weren't two long guns instead of a rifle and a handgun. Sweet Pea for instance wields an M4 carbine as her primary and has a pump gun and a longsword sheathed across her back. Blondie opts for a (comparatively) huge M249 light machine gun, an MP5K as backup and a hatchet for melee combat.

Shown Their Work: In this fantasy movie you will see better, more tactical use of firearms than in any Syfy Channel original movie about or including the military. The girls keep their rifles on their shoulders, roll in their steps rather than bouncing, and never cross lines of fire when clearing a room (and clearing the room they went from cover to cover, interlocking fields of fire). The firearms savvy troper will recognize EoTech holographic sites, historically accurate firearms (even the Samurai's 20mm version minigun), and a suppressed M4. Even handling a semi-automatic firearm, Baby Doll only crosses her thumbs in back once, but with hands that tiny it's believable she didn't catch the Colt Hammer Bite (when the slide comes back in the cycling of the action and cleaves any flesh in its way). Also, after they clear the first room in the castle, Rocket signals to Sweet Pea (who is covering the stairs leading away from the room and thus not looking back at the others behind her) that they're ready to move on by giving her a pat. Of course, in real life, one pats the shoulder, not the ass.
