The Spirit	comment	This is for the 2008 film version of The Spirit; for the comic series, see here.The Spirit is a 2008 neo-noir superhero film, written and directed by Frank Miller and starring Gabriel Macht, Eva Mendes, Sarah Paulson, Paz Vega, Jaime King, Scarlett Johansson, and Samuel L. Jackson. The film is based on the newspaper comic The Spirit by Will Eisner.In Central City, rookie cop Denny Colt (Gabriel Macht) returns from the dead as a private detective, known only as "The Spirit," to fight crime. After he finds his nemesis, the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson), in a mud hole, Femme Fatale Sand Saref (Eva Mendes) uncovers two chests in the water nearby. She tries to flee with both chests, but the Octopus shoots at her, snapping the line that connects the chests together. After a fight with the Spirit, the Octopus takes the remaining chest and escapes with one of his thugs.The Octopus wanted the mystical Blood of Heracles to become immortal and Sand wanted the Golden Fleece of the Argonauts, but both ended up with the wrong one. The Spirit must track down and stop the Octopus before he trades chests with Sand, becoming immortal.

The Spirit at one point finds himself tied to a dentist's chair by the Octopus and Silken Floss, who are dressed as Nazis. It's probably NOT safe.

The Spirit / int_dfb71617	comment	Male Gaze: The film shamelessly indulges in this, although, given that the director is Frank Miller, this isn't particularly surprising. Eva Mendes gets the most of it with a full nude shot from the rear when Danny catches Saref in nothing but a towel.

The Spirit / int_e0d0fb13	comment	Please Put Some Clothes On: The Spirit busts in on Sand Seraf after she just got out of the shower and tells her to put her hands up. She calmly agrees, and since she was holding up her Modesty Towel, it falls. Embarrassed, he turns around and says "Okay, put on a robe or something, but no tricks!"

The Octopus also has an exaggerated octopus motif.

While a few of them are easily killed or injured when the villains catch them alone. The climax has Chief Dolan, Officer Morganstern, and dozens of uncredited cops come in guns blazing, kill most of the Octopus's men and wound the Octopus himself. They take no apparent casualties in the process despite the number of bullets being fired their way.
