History Film / Bean

* PhonyDegree: Inverted with Bean as he doesn't claim to be a doctor, although many other characters think he is one. In the end he gives up trying to correct people.

* MagicalDefibrillator: In the words of the LiteraryAgentHypothesis "novelisation", "all you have to do is put the round things on someone's chest, yell 'Clear!' and then they come back to life!... But I thought I'd better try the round things on my chest first." - which launches him through the air to land on a comatose patient and accidentally revive them. Admittedly residual electrical current in Mr Bean might have helped there but it's still crazy.

* NoodleImplements: Bean saves David's career with eggs, an eggbeater, a skateboard, chewing gum, crocodile oven mitts, fuzzy slippers, laxative, a paintbrush, a flashlight, a pair of briefs, black clothing. and [[spoiler:a poster of Whistler's Mother.]]

* WeHaveToGetTheBulletOut: As usual for Mr. Bean, after a series of misunderstandings, he ends up in an emergency room in a doctor's outfit, at which point the other doctors and nurses expect him to retrieve a bullet from [[spoiler: the police chief]]'s body. As soon as he does (before and after some {{Squick}}), amazingly, his flat lining vital signs ''immediately'' stabilize, at which point he regains consciousness, and is apparently going to be just fine afterward. Cue applause from doctors.

-->'''David:''' I don't know what to say about Bean. He is clearly a force ten disaster area... but God help me, I like him.

* BrickJoke: At the hospital, Bean runs into the security guard he had drugged earlier.
** Also an unfilmed scene in the script, would've had a [[TheStinger stinger]] showing a tremor shaking the frame to reveal [[spoiler: the words on the corner of the poster replacement, "THE GRIERSON GALLERY, HOME OF WHISTLER'S MOTHER."]]. This would've called back to Security Chief Elmer's previous claim that, "nothing will touch that painting, short of an ''earthquake'' that brings the entire gallery down."

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Surprisingly averted when Mr. Bean is forced to give an improvised speech on the Whistler's Mother painting. He handles the speech quite well.
** The speech is very confident, but lacks any meaningful content. The characters who might have been offended take it as dryly comical TakeThat at their earlier request not to have a boring lecture of art history, and maybe insert a joke or two into the speech, since they assumed Bean to be a stereotypical British academic.

* HopeSpot: Inverted. Just after it seems Bean and David have resolved the Whistler’s Mother fiasco, Detective Brutus appears, leading them to think the police discovered what they did to the painting. He's actually there because David's daughter got caught in a motorcycle accident.

* {{Deconstruction}}: Downplayed. Where Mr. Bean's suffered next to no consequences antics in the series, they manage to land him in trouble with the authorities at several points in the film, though in keeping with his status as TheFool, he still always manages to get out of these trouble.

* {{Destruction}}: Downplayed. Where Mr. Bean's suffered next to no consequences antics in the series, they manage to land him in trouble with the authorities at several points in the film, though in keeping with his status as TheFool, he still always manages to get out of these trouble.

* NoodleImplements: Bean saves David's career with eggs, a skateboard, chewing gum, crocodile oven mitts, laxative, a paintbrush, a flashlight, a pair of briefs, black clothing. and a poster of <u>Whistler's Mother</u>.

* AbsurdlyIneffectiveBarricade: Bean, having accidentally defaced Whistler's Mother, locks the door and drags a plant pot in front of it to keep out the curator. A couple of seconds later, the curator enters via another door, right next to the one Bean locked.

Bean would later get another movie in 2007, ''Film/MrBeansHoliday'', which was a littler truer to the original series.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Kevin Langley is a face that is well known from other movies.

* AbsurdlyIneffectiveBarricade: Bean, having accidentally defaced Whistler's Mother, locks the door and drags a plant pot in front of it to keep out the curator. A couple of seconds later, the curator enters via another door, right next to the one Bean locked. There doesn't seem to be much of a logical reason for having two doors side by side, it's just RuleOfFunny.

* FlippingTheBird: Bean misinterprets the gesture.
