| The Musketeer | comment |
The Musketeer is a 2001 film directed by Peter Hyams, very loosely based on the classic swashbuckler novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. It stars Tim Roth, Catherine Deneuve, Mena Suvari, Stephen Rea and Justin Chambers as D'Artagnan.As the title indicates, this adaptation beefs up the role of the main protagonist D'Artagnan, resulting in less focus on him and the titular trio being True Companions. The original plot is pretty much abandoned.It also stands out among the many Three Musketeers movies by taking influence from the Chinese wuxia film genre of all things, giving D'Artagnan "exotic" Eastern-style Implausible Fencing Powers and making him do insane Jackie Chan-style stunts - like a sword fight in a room full of ladders, or while hanging on ropes while scaling a tower. The fight choreography was handled by Xin-Xin Xiong, associate of director Tsui Hark. | |

Canon Foreigner: Febre is not in the original novel, and seems created only to steal Rochefort's role in the story. | |

| The Musketeer / int_13c1fec8 | comment |
Dragon-in-Chief: Febre is The Dragon to Richelieu, but its he that D'Artagnan wants to kill. And given that Richelieu is just an Anti-Villain and Febre a murderous sociopath, Richelieu is inclined to allow it. | |

Frame-Up: Febre and his men massacre a Spanish ambassador and his retinue and leaves a Musketeer tunic behind. Naturally, the King disbands the Musketeers. His actual orders were for he and his men to wear the uniforms and just scare them, but Febre got bored... | |

Interesting Situation Duel | |
| The Musketeer / int_3c689563 | comment |
Interesting Situation Duel: The final duel between D'Artagnan and Febre takes place in a warehouse stacked to the ceiling with shelves of big wine barrels. There are also lots of ladders, with the two fighters leaping from one to another, walking them across the floor, swinging through space clinging to them, and finally, incredibly, balancing one on a center beam and using it as a seesaw for their final showdown. | |

| The Musketeer / int_447d9e50 | comment |
Xanatos Speed Chess: Richelieu tries to do this to compensate for Febre screwing up all his plans (taking a fairly neutral political maneuver to give the Cardinal more influence at court and turning it into a Pretext for War in the process), but eventually he just gives up and sides with D'Artagnan. | |

Women Are Wiser: The Queen is much wiser than the King who's a bit of a sexist himself, telling her off when she wants to join policy discussions because "the role of a queen is not to think". He then orders his attendants to escort her away as "the Queen wishes to return to her chamber." | |

Sewer Gator: At one point D'Artagnan and the Musketeers have to lead the King and Queen through safety in the sewers, and the Queen mentions rumors of crocodiles in the place. Which transplants a modern American Urban Legend into 17th-century France. | |

Upper-Class Twit: The King is portrayed as one. When Richelieu engineers a riot to barge into a royal banquet, the King just stands up and shouts "Stop! Stop! I order you to stop!" to no avail. Luckily D'Artagnan and the Musketeers rescue him and the Queen, but he then refuses to enter the sewers they had used to sneak in, until an exasperated Porthos asks him if he would rather go back to the riot. | |

Blood Knight: When D'Artagnan is surprised at the stood-down Musketeers fighting amongst themselves in a bar brawl, he's simply told "A man has to fight someone." Febre is a darker version, killing targets against the Cardinal's explicit orders and stirring up a war pretty much for it's own sake. | |

He is also a Composite Character with Milady, both being Richelieu's ruthless assassin who turn out to be too dangerous to control. | |
