Deadly Bath | |
| The Princess and the Warrior / int_1d8f9329 | comment |
Deadly Bath: The trope is played straight in a flashback when a mental ward patient throws a hair dryer into a bathtub used by Sissi's mother. Later, Bodo, hiding from the law in the same mental institution, is relaxing after a botched heist in the same bathtub, and the same patient, Steini, (believing Sissi has fallen for him) throws a toaster at him. He instinctively catches it, and both stare in shock at each other for a moment before Bodo leaps up with murder in his eyes. | |

| The Princess and the Warrior / int_295087bf | comment |
Non-Indicative Name: The movie is about a modern-day nurse and a former soldier turned thief. It makes more sense in German anyway, given Simone goes on regular basis as Sissi. | |

Instant Drama, Just Add Tracheotomy | |
| The Princess and the Warrior / int_3a95b3cf | comment |
Instant Drama, Just Add Tracheotomy: This is how the protagonists meet - Bodo, after inadvertently causing Sissi to be hit by a truck, performs an emergency tracheomtomy note presumably having learned how to do so during his time in the military on her and disappears before Sissi can learn his name. As a result, she becomes obsessed with tracking him down. | |

| The Princess and the Warrior / int_58970413 | comment |
Coincidental Broadcast: As Bodo stumbles into the mental ward, the TV in the recreation room is playing news about his brother, Walter, dying from the gunshot wound he received earlier. Bodo is sent into an aggressive frenzy, trashing the TV set, and unintentionally gets himself admitted, but at least he dodges the police. | |

Instant Sedation: Subverted. During the heist, the two couriers carrying the money cases are sedated using chloroform, but this being chloroform one of them wakes up quickly and the whole thing starts to fall apart. | |

Florence Nightingale Effect | |
| The Princess and the Warrior / int_60f992e8 | comment |
Florence Nightingale Effect: One scene has Sissi, a nurse at a psychiatric hospital, masturbating one of her patients during the night shift. The scene is rather squick-inducing when the viewer discovers the patient is her father. Inverted with Sissi herself, as she falls for the man that saved her life. | |

But for Me, It Was Tuesday: For Bodo, saving Sissi's life was just one of the many things he did that day. Or at least he tries to pretend it was nothing for him. | |

You Wouldn't Shoot Me | |
| The Princess and the Warrior / int_786d6cf6 | comment |
You Wouldn't Shoot Me: Bodo successfully talks the money courier out of shooting him. Not in a game of chicken, but simply by appealing to his conscience and the fact that he will then have to spend the rest of his life with the fact that he shot another man. | |

Mind Screw | |
| The Princess and the Warrior / int_bef696dd | comment |
Mind Screw: The ending. After visiting the same gas station where Bodo's wife died, there are two Bodos in the scene: the one who came there with Sissi and the Bodo that "had to finally leave the toilet", finally getting over his wife's death. Except there are literally two of them, and they take turns as drivers until the one taken from the station is left in a rural nowhere. Makes Just as Much Sense in Context. | |

Bystander Syndrome | |
| The Princess and the Warrior / int_c83f40d8 | comment |
Bystander Syndrome: Everyone is just standing around the truck, with Sissi underneath it. While they might call the ambulance already and nobody willing to touch her in fear of doing some extra damage (given she was literally run over by a truck), she is suffocating down there and there is nobody checking on her. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| The Princess and the Warrior / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: It wouldn't be a Tom Tykwer movie without a hefty dose of those. In fact, characters in-universe eventually do catch up on the crazy amount of improbable coincidences. To wit: the apparently inconsequential funeral in the opening that Bodo attended as a grave digger turned out to be that of Sissi's distant relative, the bank the heirloom locket is kept in is the same one Bodo and Walter try to rob, and Sissi shows up there as they are performing their caper. And take a wild guess which gas station they reach during the finale. | |

Would Hit a Girl: One of the patients at the mental ward punches Sissi out of the blue, throwing her on the ground. It is revealed he had situations like that and he is actually asking to be self-restrained to not make his behaviour worse. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| The Princess and the Warrior / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Both of the main characters. And in both cases, it's far more complicated than the initial exposition: Bodo was married once. Sissi is told by Walter about a gas station accident that led to the wife's death, leaving Bodo in endless grief as he was in the toilet during the event. Sissi is a child of two patients in the very mental ward she works in. Or at least that's what she's been told. | |
