Failed a Spot Check | |
| The Walk / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: Several times Petit and co. risk being caught by the guards, but the guards tend to do a pretty bad job of surveillance. | |

Agony of the Feet: Petit gets a nail right through the foot. During his walk, blood begins to seep through the shoes, though it never affects his ability. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| The Walk / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Petit completed his coup and got away with it. He's given a free pass to visit the top of the World Trade Center any time he wants, with the expiration date crossed out and "forever" written in. The movie ends with a shot of the towers, letting the audience absorb that "forever" only lasted 27 years. | |

| The Walk / int_85557b38 | comment |
Reality Is Unrealistic: Lying down on the cable and kneeling on it seem like unbelievable feats, especially under such extreme circumstances; Petit actually did these things during his real life walk. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| The Walk / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Semi-averted. After the walk Petit was arrested and charged with trespassing and disturbing the peace. However, the district attorney made a deal that all the charges against him would be dropped if he performed a free wire-walk show for kids in Central Park. Afterwards, Petit got a lifetime pass to the observation deck of the Twin Towers, letting him visit there whenever he wanted. However, the manager did playfully have one condition if Petit ever thought of repeating his high-wire stunt, "Don't do that again!" | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| The Walk / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Quite a few people see Philippe as this due to his dream of walking between the World Trade Center towers on a wire and doing it without any safety gear, with some thinking he's crazy because, as Papa Rudy points out, if he makes one mistake on the wire, he would plummet to his death. | |
