(The last man who did got his tongue and balls cut off). Klingon Promotion: Members of Bethelehem's army are allowed to challenge him in one-on-one combat for his position.From Nobody to Nightmare: General Bethlehem mentions that before the war, he was a copier salesman.Amusingly, it's fairly clear almost every one of his men hates him to the core but none of them want to stand up to him (assuming the other people in the army are loyal Holnists). A Father to His Men: General Bethlehem thinks he's one of these.The Holnists are probably the least enthusiastic gang of rapists and plunderers in history. Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune: Kevin Costner himself sings the song on the credits.Cruel Mercy: General Bethlehem gets this at one point.Crazy Survivalist: The Holnists appear to be this in the movie.

Compressed Adaptation: The movie left out quite a bit of the plot of the book, particularly the augments and pretty much the entire conflict between the towns loyal to the Reunited States of America and the Holnists.Chekhov's Gun: The tattoo that recruits into Bethlehem's army are given including Shakespeare.Possibly justified by the fact that it's not that he's convincing, but that people just want to believe in these things that badly.No one questions that the new President of the United States has the same real name as Ringo Starr.Blatant Lies: All of Shakespeare's lies about the reformed United States government go unquestioned despite how obviously evasive and unconvincing he is.
He then subverts it by having the books he's done with burned. Not a single one of them seems unhappy to see him gone after the one racist redneck killed early on. Zero-Percent Approval Rating: General Bethlehem's followers apparently hate him every bit as much as the townsfolk they oppress.Includes examples of the following tropes: It was not a very successful movie, tanking at the box office, derailing Kevin Costner's career and winning several Razzie Awards. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.Ī 1997 movie based on a book by David Brin, about a wanderer in post-apocalyptic Oregon who ends up disguising himself as a US Postman and weaving an intricate story about the US government being reformed.
