Decapitation Presentation: Used several times, which is fitting as it's about the Reign of Terror. Played for laughs in one scene when the Pimpernel is smuggling aristocrats out in coffins, but also has coffins with beheaded aristocrats too. When he gets stopped by a guard who asks him to open the coffins, he throws the severed head to the guard, who promptly lets him go without checking the other two coffins with the live people inside. | |

Adaptation Expansion: This version spends a lot of time on Percy and Marguerite meeting and falling in love, including their introduction via Percy's rescue of Armand from the thugs sent by the Marquis de St. Cyr to beat him up. The entire first half depicts events that, in the original novel, were only briefly related as backstory. | |

Thwarted Escape: When Chauvelin captures Percy and Armand in Paris, they exchange some banter and then almost immediately escape. Percy pauses to give Chauvelin a mocking look before disappearing stylishly from view... only to immediately reappear, less stylishly held at gunpoint by the extra guards Chauvelin had stationed outside. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: In this version Marguerite was entirely innocent of the execution of the Marquis de St. Cyr and his family; when she indignantly rebuffs Chauvelin's suggestion that she could have the Marquis arrested for treason in revenge for having her brother beaten up, he does it anyway and puts her name on the arrest warrant. In the original story, she did indeed denounce the Marquis (with an understandable motive), but she didn't realize it would lead to the deaths of him and his family. The Baron de Batz was a minor antagonist who despised the Scarlet Pimpernel and who betrayed Armand in Baroness Orczy's original novel Eldorado (the sequel on which the second part of this film is based). In this version, although he is still a suspicious double-agent, he is an overall more benevolent figure who warns Armand that Chauvelin is onto him, and ends up collaborating with the Scarlet Pimpernel's forces to rescue the Dauphin. | |

Third-Act Misunderstanding | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) / int_584634dd | comment |
Third-Act Misunderstanding: A prolonged and tragic one between Percy and Marguerite, due him being informed right after their wedding that her name was on the warrant for the arrest of the Marquis de St. Cyr. He does not know that she is innocent and it was Chauvelin who wrote her name as informer, and his belief that she deliberately sent St. Cyr and his family to the guillotine leads him to become cold and distant towards her, causing a complete breakdown in communication between them - which is worsened when Chauvelin visits to blackmail her with her brother's life. It is only during the dramatic midnight library scene that the entire misunderstanding is cleared up, as Marguerite confesses her predicament, as well as the fact that she was framed, to the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel, whom she does not know is her disguised husband. Even though his faith in her is restored, the two of them do not meet again for quite a while, as he sets sail immediately for France to rescue her brother. | |

Clark Kenting: A vocal version. Sir Percy's physical disguises are quite extensive, but he affects a particularly foppish voice as Percy that he sheds as the Pimpernel, and is able to have a full conversation with Marguerite as the Pimpernel without her realizing that he has the same voice as her husband. | |

Burn Baby Burn: Baron de Batz is passed a secret message at Marguerite's soiree, and attempts to burn it in the fireplace. He fails to notice that it falls out of the fire only partly burned, and it is later retrieved by Marguerite. In a later scene, the Baron again disposes of an incriminating document in the nearest fireplace, this time more successfully. One of the Pimpernel's associates tries to burn his instructions to prevent Marguerite reading them, but she interrupts him before the paper is completely consumed, and then distracts him while she reads the message. | |

Dating Catwoman: Subverted In-Universe. Sir Percy, leader of the aristocrats' proverbial Secret Service, marries a French republican. He distances himself from his wife when he is given a false rumour about her contributing to the execution of the Marquis de St. Cyr. (In the original story, she did indeed contribute, but unwittingly.) | |

Promoted to Love Interest | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) / int_8605f0c0 | comment |
Promoted to Love Interest: In this version, Chauvelin was courting Marguerite before she met Sir Percy. However, she was already struggling with how far off their original plan Chauvelin and the Revolution have gone when she met Percy. While meeting Percy seems to give her an extra incentive to move on from Chauvelin, Chauvelin himself never quite understands or accepts just how upset with the direction of the Revolution Marguerite has become. He therefore blames Percy entirely for losing Marguerite. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) / int_89434320 | comment |
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Percy purposefully makes Marguerite's married life with him a living hell; he justifies this by his understandable belief that she murdered the Marquis de St. Cyr and his family, but since the Revolution there's this new thing called divorce, hey? Worse, once he's learned of Marguerite's innocence and reconciled with her, Percy still arranges his own fake execution to humiliate Chauvelin, which predictably devastates Marguerite. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The failure of the Baron de Batz's attempt to destroy a compromising note from the Marquis de St. Cyr, along with Marguerite's failure to destroy it after she had picked it up and read it, indirectly leads to St. Cyr and his entire family being executed for treason. The Baron de Batz telling Percy that the warrant for St. Cyr's arrest was signed by Marguerite leads him to falsely believe that she deliberately had him executed, causing the newly-wed couple to become estranged. | |

So does Armand, earlier, waking up from a nightmare which hammers home the devastating consequences of his role as Chauvelin's assistant. When Sir Percy realizes that Marguerite was framed for the deaths of the St. Cyr family, he's stricken with remorse for how he treated her. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: Most of the plans that aren't Batman Gambits. One egregious example is when Percy rescues the De Tournay family, disguised as an old woman with a supposedly plague-infected grandson. Five minutes after they ride through the gates, Sir Andrew rides up, pretending to be chasing the "woman", and actually outing "her" to the sargeant as the Scarlet Pimpernel, demanding that the gates be opened to him too. Another happens immediately after Percy, as the Pimpernel, is warned by Marguerite that Chauvelin knows he will be in the library at midnight. He appears to flee the scene... but when Chauvelin arrives at midnight to catch the Pimpernel, he finds Percy as himself apparently asleep, snoring away. | |

Exact Words | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Chauvelin falsely promising Percy that Marguerite will be "free" after Percy is dead could be interpreted as this; however, in the end it is moot, because when confronted with this by Armand, he acknowledges reneging on his promise by saying "but an oath to a scoundrel is meaningless". | |

Digging Yourself Deeper | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) / int_f09afb0 | comment |
Digging Yourself Deeper: Marguerite telling her already distrustful husband Percy that she has not seen Chauvelin recently. He knows that this is a lie, because he witnessed Chauvelin leaving as he was arriving home, but he does not know that her true reason for lying to him is that Chauvelin is blackmailing her. | |

Running Gag | |
| The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Sir Percy mocking Chauvelin's dress sense. Which turns out to have a plot-relevant punchline. Sir Percy repeatedly - and with varying methods - fooling the sergeant at the gate into letting him pass. | |

Bodybag Trick: The Scarlet Pimpernel is introduced smuggling a family of French aristocrats out of Paris by placing them into coffins presumably for disposal. Another coffin (of an already beheaded aristocrat) is placed on top to trick the guards at the gate. | |
