Just Cause is a series of military sandbox games developed by Avalanche Studios. They focus on the exploits of Rico Rodriguez, an action hero implied to be working for the CIA to overthrow fictitious Banana Republics. The traversal with the grappling hook/parachute/wingsuit combo is what really makes the Just Cause games stick out among their peers. Just Cause (2006) Just Cause 2 (2010) Just Cause 3 (2015) Just Cause 4 (2018) Just Cause Mobile (Cancelled, originally announced for 2021)Rumor has it that a movie adaptation, titled Just Cause: Scorpion Rising is in production.Not to be confused with the early-2000s Canadian TV series, or with the 1995 film. | |

| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: The villains are all based on real life military dictators. General Mendoza is a stand-in for multiple dictators from both sides of the Cold War including Augusto Pinochet and Fidel Castro. "Papa" Panay and Pandak "Baby" Panay, much like Real Life Haitan dictators François "Papa Doc" Duvalier and his son Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier. Pandak Panay's physical appearance and speech pattern also quickly call to mind depictions of Kim Jong-Il. | |

Darker and Edgier: Sort of, while the second game itself is as tongue-in-cheek as the first one, Rico has gone from a suave James Bond-esque agent to the Jason Bourne-type who'll threaten to bitchslap someone with their own removed hands. Reversed by the third game. | |

Regenerating Health: In the first two games, there is some minor regeneration only when in the critical health range and the remainder is recovered by dropped health packs or in the safehouse. Just Cause 3 omits health kits in place of full health regeneration. | |

"Risk"-Style Map: When you perform the stronghold takeover missions for each faction, an area of the map falls under their control (as opposed to the government's) which is denoted by a faction-coloured outline surrounding the area and if you zoom the map all the way out, the outlines are filled with that colour. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: Plenty. In an empty field in the middle of nowhere, there's a tower where you can find a bubble blaster. It has 600 ammo, can't be refilled anywhere else, and firing it does nothing but attract heat. On the Lost Island, there's a mysterious Panauan soldier in the forest that emits smoke and has a massive amount of health, a crashed plane, and a hatch. There's a snowman in a ski resort that Rico will say "Hello" to if you press the action button when you're near him. | |

Cut-and-Paste Environments | |
| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_3273ebb9 | comment |
Cut and Paste Environments: Not too bad an offender, since the map is huge and filled with many varied landscapes, from sandy beaches and dense jungles, to snowy mountains and arid deserts, but many buildings (such as lighthouses) are clearly reused several times. A more minor offender of this would be the government property Rico is always being sent to destroy. While military bases tend to have some variety in their layout, expect to see countless fuel silos, generators and broadcast towers everywhere you go. | |

No Hero Discount: You're working directly for the CIA. Your black market weapons dealer also works for the CIA, and is effectively your boss. Yet he makes you pay for weapons and vehicles you need for the CIA missions! Theoretically, the prices are the cost of smuggling the item into Panau-after all, it makes sense that the government is regulating, well, everything. Doesn't explain why it costs the same as chaos rises, though. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: The franchise is practically built around it. The absurd yet awesome endings of the first two games can be justified by this. Wanna use a grappling hook to reach a fighter jet, surf said fighter jet for ten miles, then open the cockpit, throw the pilot out, hijack the fighter, use said fighter to ram an enemy fortress at insane speeds, leap from the cockpit milliseconds before impact, freefall for half a mile, then suddenly open your parachute at the last moment, land safely on the ground, and walk away from the whole ordeal looking cool? If so, this is the series for you. | |

| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_3ec7c277 | comment |
Every Car Is a Pinto: Cars in the second game seem to be programmed to explode if they hit something immediately after you jump out. This is not an exaggeration. Extends to boats, too. Hit the beach fast enough to just go about ten feet inland and it'll explode for no other reason than the underside got scraped up a bit. It's the worst with airplanes. Once you get up to cruising speed, touching almost anything will cause them to explode. | |

DestructiveSavior | |
| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_3f4ec001 | comment |
Destructive Savior: Rico. Theoretically he's there to free the people from an oppressive government, but his modus operandi is literally to cause as much chaos as possible and assist any nearby resistance movements, regardless of how crooked they may be. One of the most common ways to cause chaos is to blow up a village's water supply. As an Ax-Crazy Devil in Plain Sight, Bolo Santosi probably counts as this in her own right. At one point she rejoices that with your help, she can turn Panau "into a smoking ruin." How this contributes to building a worker's paradise is still unclear. The briefings even go so far as to say, "Collateral damage is regrettable, but sanctioned." Special mention goes to the end of Just Cause 2. Rico blows up Panau's oil supply to ensure that no more wars are fought over the small nation, defying the wishes of his superiors. Even though Rico stopped any future oil wars, he used a nuke to do it. Likely causing mass collateral damage in the process. | |

Hellish Copter: The game takes this trope and runs with it. You can literally daisy-chain helicopter hijackings with your grappling hook, as well as shoot them down with revolvers and assault rifles, and nobody ever says anything about landing the aircraft you fly - so by the end of the game an average player has a count of downed helicopters numbering in the hundreds. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy | |
| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_4508b16b | comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: The military really doesn't care what you do as long as you don't do it to them. You can, for example, drive a sports car backwards down the highway while dragging an upside-down jet and going over the speed limit, and the military jeep behind you won't care. Once they do come however, they never stop, and they cheerfully keep calling in more helicopters (even though you hijacked the previous 3) and more soldiers (even though you mowed the last few dozen down with your stolen helicopters). | |

Scenery Porn: The entirety of Just Cause 2. Lush jungle, snow-capped mountains, arid desert, the towering skyscrapers of Panau City, vast oceanic expanse, and the sky, oh the sky - all rendered beautifully. And unlike most examples of Scenery Porn, you can visit every single point on the island. This is one reason the PS2 version of the first game was considered the worst of the bunch. Every other version has extremely lush visuals (even the original Xbox port) while the PS2's were dull and limited by comparison. When part of the hype surrounding your game is the graphics, that's not exactly spelling out a recipe for success. | |

| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_4da6ac | comment |
Rated M for Manly: The series stars a One-Man Army who smashes through anything in his way (and some things that aren't) in ways which defy the laws of physics in hilarious ways. Everything explodes -- including some things which logically shouldn't. Everything which bears even the slightest resemblance to subtlety is thrown out the window of a jet, whereupon it plummets earthward at nonsensical speeds until it connects with the earth, at which point it promptly assumes the general consistency of strawberry jam. | |

Heroic Comedic Sociopath: All non-plot-vital characters in the game can be killed, and chances are good you'll run over more than a few accidentally while driving around. But it's all for a just cause. In Just Cause 2, Rico is far more talkative, and some of his quotes make it quite obvious this is exactly what he is. | |

Excuse Plot | |
| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: Despite the rich possibilities that the game's premise has for ruminations on United States foreign policy and the heavy price of western security, the plot of Just Cause is a homage to cheesy Hollywood schlock. Why? Just 'cause. | |

Eagle Land: Sheldon and Kane are a realistic mix of both types. While both of them are somewhat blase about the collateral damage Rico can inflict, and even encourage him to do so in 2, they also firmly believe that it's a necessary evil to dethrone monstrous tyrants and are quick to laud Rico's world-saving, third-option-taking quick thinking. Sheldon leans a bit towards type 2 with regards to communism, stating "Real Americans hate commies!" and expressing some disappointment when Rico saves Russia from being nuked at the end of the game. | |

Exploding Barrels: The second game has these. Hilariously, because they belong to the government, you get rewarded for blowing them up. Of particular note are propane tanks, which when shot rocket into the sky. If you shoot one and quickly grapple onto it, you can use it to escape hairy situations by rocketing out of them. This is as awesome as it sounds. | |

Hyperspace Arsenal: In the first game, Rico can carry seven or eight different weapons, and hundreds of rounds for each. This has been downgraded in the second. Not only can he only carry three guns, they all appear on his person when holstered. He can also carry up to twenty grenades and twenty explosives, although only one apiece appears on him. Seems to be this way with his parachutes. Don't forget the black market helicopter, which can drop entire TANKS for you. And other helicopters. Of equal size. Let's not forget that the black market helicopter is called to your location before you choose what you want, meaning that everything you can buy is already onboard. | |

| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_9edbda07 | comment |
Elite Mooks: The first two games have these. Just Cause 2 even keeps track of how many you kill. They take more damage and usually have more powerful weapons than their weaker friends. Get the Heat meter high enough and they'll start parachuting out of the sky around you! Don't forget the ninjas! Tons of health, armed with sub-machine guns, and able to teleport in a puff of smoke. Then there are the Colonels, who can only be damaged if you shoot them in the face, whip them, or use explosives. There are also a few "Demolitions NCOs" who appear quite rarely. They're heavily armored, but drop all their (live) grenades when you kill them. They're not quite tough enough to call minibosses, but they're definitely as tough as any Elite Mook. | |

Double-Meaning Title | |

Double-Meaning Title: [A] just cause or just [be]cause? You be the judge. The first game makes it a sort of triple meaning, as San Lorenzo is in the general area of Central America. The United States invasion of Panama was codenamed "Operation Just Cause". Likely intentional, as, according to the background information, the invasion of Panama was when Rico was recruited into the Agency. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Averted. The Panunan military are superhumanly accurate, even to the point where they make shotguns lethal at mid to long range. And making it a bitch to get that 'kill 50 enemies without taking damage' achievement. At long range the dozen shotgun pellets won't kill you, but one of them is bound to hit you. They are also quite good at hitting you while you are grappling over their heads at 50 miles per hour. Most normal humans wouldn't even be able to follow your movement by eye, but they can apparently aim very quickly. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Bottomless, topless and missing the sides too, the mounted minigun has infinite ammo when carried despite Rico leaving the ammo can and belt behind on the mounting. A recurring issue, actually: the normal machine gun is also missing any sort of ammo belt or box and apparently works on a belief-based system. The ammo gauge on the HUD actually shows ∞ for the minigun, as well as for vehicle weapons. The default pistols in the first game also have infinite ammo. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Multiple. The Lost Island in the northwest corner. Even the mission where you have to go to the island is called 'Stranded'. Killing several (~20) soldiers while in a helicopter will cause Rico to start humming Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries in a nod to Apocalypse Now. Rico yells out the most famous quote from White Heat ("Made it, Ma! Top of the world!") if you land or climb on the summit of one of Panau's mountains. One of the military boats is named the Winstons Amen 69. There may even be a shout out to the famous Evil Overlord List with the descriptions of one of the colonels. One level involves a convoy rigged with bombs to explode if it stops moving. Of course, this being Just Cause, you need to catch up the convoy and disarm the bombs. Individually. While hanging from the rear bumper. And gunfighting. If you block a random pedestrian, you may get to hear "I'm walkin' here! I'm walkin' here!" One of the Colonels in a side mission is named Lee Ho Fuk. Before the Casino Bust mission, Jade Tan says that Blaine's living is gambling and drinking, to which Rico replies "Dying ain't much of a living". The nickname and how you can pull people with your grappling hook. That's right. Rico is Scorpion. | |

Escort Mission | |
| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_cfda0ecb | comment |
Escort Mission: Several. Many do not require you to protect an NPC, but rather the vehicle you're driving in. This is especially infuriating considering how easily cars can be rendered almost useless by gunfire. The second game is full of them, usually tasking you with protecting an NPC. This is usually fine as long as you focus on shotgun-wielding foes first, and in some cases the vehicles may in fact be invincible. There's also a few extremely fun Escort Missions where you are expected to hang onto a friendly car during an intense car chase; however, you're quite able to hop onto enemy cars to blow them up, pop your chute to start parasailing, etc. | |

Lethal Joke Weapon: As shown in this video, the Bubble Blaster triples the maximum ammo you can hold for your Submachine Gun. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Tom Sheldon, most notably towards the end. He's very happy with Rico's reasoning for nuking the oil fields, and decides the details of the mission are "need to know only". His superiors, according to him, don't need to know. | |

Made of Explodium | |

Made of Explodium: Nearly everything, but guard towers in the second game get special mention. They explode in a massive fireball despite apparently being made of nothing more than wood and corrugated tin. | |

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything | |
| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_ee7ed46e | comment |
The Agency Operatives Who Don't Do Anything: Tom Sheldon. The game makes a running gag out of his goofing off, and it's not until the second game that he's shown doing any actual work. Even then, most of it occurs when he's still masquerading as the Sloth Demon. Except if you count roasting pigs as "working". The Personnel Files clarify this - Sheldon is pretty much the only person Rico will reliably take orders from. He earns his keep making sure a "high maintenance" asset is kept on task. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| Just Cause (Video Game) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: The games run on it. A list of examples would be twice the size of the rest of this page. As one of the developers put it, "This is the laws of physics on drugs." Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation is perhaps not too far off when he calls Rico an 'immortal physics-defying wizard.' | |

Attack! Attack! Attack! | |

Once they do come however, they never stop, and they cheerfully keep calling in more helicopters (even though you hijacked the previous 3) and more soldiers (even though you mowed the last few dozen down with your stolen helicopters). | |
