Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead is a 1995 crime film directed by Gary Fleder and starring Andy GarcÃa, Christopher Lloyd, William Forsythe, Treat Williams, Steve Buscemi, Christopher Walken and Gabrielle Anwar. The title was inspired by a song by Warren Zevon from his album Mr. Bad Example.Andy Garcia plays a former mob man who tries to turn straight by starting his own business, which produces taped messages for the terminally ill and dying. His business goes into debt, which later brings him into having to do one last favor for his former boss: scare off his son's ex's current boyfriend. A loose team of former acquaintances is then assembled to do the job, but it turns out their target is smarter than they think. |

A Father to His Men: It's Personal for both The Man and Jimmy; the former is because of the Relative Button, but Jimmy's only motivation is protecting his crew. |

comment |
Pay Evil unto Evil: Jimmy is so infuriated on learning Lucinda, a young sex worker he's friendly with, has been raped and beaten by a client that he sets out to do the same thing with the guy in revenge. He gets pulled off before the rape part, but publicly beats him up at his workplace. She's very moved by this. |

Mr. Shush rescues a man who's being beaten up in an alley by three other men, and this may be his motivation for it. No clear reason is given. He later also kills Pieces quickly, as he's requested, despite being instructed to kill him slowly. |

Impersonating an Officer: Two main characters pose as police officers to stop their mark. Given that one of the criminals had a short fuse, it went From Bad to Worse very fast for everybody involved, putting into motion the main plot of the movie. |

Deadly Euphemism |
| Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead / int_2eb94abd |
comment |
Deadly Euphemism: It's emphasised to Jimmy that the job he's been hired to do is just "an action", and not "a piece of work". From context it's pretty obvious that the former refers to intimidation and beating, the latter for a hit. "Buckwheats" turns out to be slang for slow death by being shot up the ass. |

Even Evil Has Standards |
| Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead / int_319e4a2f |
comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Mr. Shush sees three white men brutally attacking a black man, he immediately intervenes and dispatches all three men without saying a word. His motivation for doing so is a complete mystery. He may not like an unfair fight, he may hate racists, or it may have simply been a Pet the Dog moment on his part. He gives a quick death to those who don't resist as well, even when ordered otherwise. He works as a hitman, and is willing to murder people in a very painful manner usually. |

Psychopathic Manchild: Bernard. Growing up with The Don for a father and being able to get away with anything didn't help matters, but given his attempted snatching of a schoolgirl from a school playground during recess (the catalyst of the The Man's mission to Jimmy) Bernard definitely exhibits underlying psychological problems as well. |

Lucinda is now pregnant with Jimmy's child, and leaving the prostitution game. Dagney seems to have moved on, and for some reason the 5 job men are seen hanging out together in the afterlife on a fishing trip. |

Bernard typically comes across as either creepy or pathetic, but tells Jimmy that he really would feel a sense of peace and leave Meg alone if he could just hear her say that she was happy with her new boyfriend. Unfortunately, his father didn't ask his opinion on that. |

Never My Fault: Critical Bill whines and grovels Jimmy into letting him be one of the fake cops instead of relegating him to a support role, then proceeds to let his incompetence and temper ruin the whole thing and get all of them marked for death. When Jimmy visits him later, he has the gall to blame him for everything for not standing up to him when he asked to be one of the cops. |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: As incompetent as Critical Bill is, out of all the Job Men, he's the one to ambush and kill Mr. Shush. |

Dramatic Irony |
| Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead / int_ab5eea65 |
comment |
Dramatic Irony: Combined with Disproportionate Retribution and maybe a little Karma Houdini. Pieces and Critical Bill, the ones who actually killed Meg and her boyfriend, and Jimmy — who set everything up — are killed instantly by Mr. Shush and the Martinez Brothers respectively (in Pieces and Jimmy's cases, it was because they both solemnly accepted their deaths, while in Critical Bill's case Mr. Shush had to kill him with a last resort shot after Bill ambushed him and fatally shot him first), while Easy Wind and Franchise, who were just there and didn't do anything besides serve as lookouts, both get buckwheats. |

Sadist: The Man With The Plan ordered that all of the criminals who'd messed up his job die painful, slow deaths. He also clearly enjoys toying with Jimmy later when he's at his mercy. |

Tropical Epilogue |
| Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead / int_b402fa9f |
comment |
Tropical Epilogue: Referenced. The protagonists will often say "Boat drinks," to remind each other of their ultimate dream: retiring to some tropical paradise to sip cocktails on a yacht. In the end, we see all of the main characters doing exactly that, except they're all dead. |

Too Dumb to Live: Meg's boyfriend. After refusing to cooperate with Pieces and Bill when stating they aren't real cops, Bill pulls him out of the van, and the guy proceeds to verbally assault Bill to the point where he holds a knife to his throat. When Pieces talks him down, the boyfriend badmouths Bill yet again, resulting in his getting stabbed multiple times in the throat. Critical Bill when he decided to gloat to Mr. Shush after blasting him with a shotgun. Shush takes the opportunity to shoot him before dying himself. |

Romantic False Lead: It is stated that Jimmy's love interest Dagney has a boyfriend (although their relationship status is, in Dagney's words, "somewhere in between"), but it doesn't seem to bother Jimmy that much. Jimmy even continually refers to said boyfriend as "Chip", even when corrected on more than one occasion that it's actually "Alex". |

comment |
Titled After the Song: The film's title comes from a song of the same name by Warren Zevon from his album Mr. Bad Example, which is played during the film's end credits. Interestingly, John Cale later wrote a song about the film, which would have counted as an inversion, had he not shortened the title to just "Things." |

comment |
Pet the Dog: Bernard typically comes across as either creepy or pathetic, but tells Jimmy that he really would feel a sense of peace and leave Meg alone if he could just hear her say that she was happy with her new boyfriend. Unfortunately, his father didn't ask his opinion on that. Mr. Shush rescues a man who's being beaten up in an alley by three other men, and this may be his motivation for it. No clear reason is given. He later also kills Pieces quickly, as he's requested, despite being instructed to kill him slowly. Jimmy brutally beats up the man who'd raped and beaten Lucinda publicly for revenge. She's very impressed by this and asks him to father her child as a result. |
