History Film / MrAndMrsSmith

* SpyCouple: With the dramatic irony that they don't actually know it.

* BattleCouple: Both of the Smiths become this near the end of the movie.

* BulletDodge: In the final shootout, John and Jane twice duck an anti-tank missle being fired at them.

* FunTShirt: "The Tank" is seen wearing a FightClub T-Shirt, as ActorAllusion.

** Used almost word for word - "Do you know you're ticking?"+

** Used almost word for word - "Do you know you're ticking?"

* MissingTrailerScene: Due to over an hour of scenes being cut before release, the trailers were filled with these. Most notably, every scene with KeithDavid and additional scenes with VinceVaughn.

* ExtendedDisarming: While doing the tango, I might add.

** When you have two people who are consistently voted the two most attractive people in the world, it's inevitable. Let's consider the third quarter of the film. Jane is wearing a man's T-shirt that just ''barely'' functions as a miniskirt. John is in nothing but a tight V-neck and boxers.
* FunTShirt: "The Tank" is seen wearing a FightClub T-Shirt. And the universe imploded.
** This probably doubles as an ActorAllusion.
* FunWithSubtitles: Five or six years ago...

In spite of mixed critical reviews, the film did well at the box office and received a lot of media attention; this attention was mainly due to Pitt and Jolie meeting on set and, in their words, "falling in love" (even though Pitt was still married to Creator/JenniferAniston at the time). Even critics who didn't enjoy the movie admitted the the couple had great chemistry.

* SpyCouple: Slightly subverted in that they don't actually know it.

** PunchClockVillain [[VillainProtagonist Protagonists]], perhaps?

* InLoveWithTheMark

* {{Dominatrix}}: Jane dresses as one to get close to a victim in one scene.

** PunchClockVillian [[VillainProtagonist Protagonists]], perhaps?

** PunchClockVillan [[VillainProtagoist Protagonists]], perhaps?

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: When sneaking through the house, John accidentally bumps a ceramic jar with his elbow. He manages to [[DishDash catch it just before it falls]... and then the lid falls off the jar and shatters on the floor. His face a split second before the crash just ''screams'' this, as he knows that the noise is going to tip off his whereabouts to Jane.

* BrickJoke: The "When did you last have sex?" question.

* AntiHero: Although they are sympathetic and romantic characters, and show aspects of being kind-hearted, Jane and John are still professional murderers, and it is never firmly established if either of the two organizations they work for are actually on the side of right (the trailer for the film has Jane talking to one of her targets - the one whose neck she breaks - about his selling weapons in violation of international law, but this dialog was cut). There is also the matter of a line of dialogue (cut from some versions of the film) in which, while discussing how many people they've killed, John asks if Jane's claimed number of 312 includes innocent bystanders.

-->'''Jane''': ([[BewareTheQuietOnes Quietly]]) That was you?

* HeyItsThatVoice: We only see a reflection of his face, but anyone who's played all the MassEffect games will recognize [[KeithDavid Admiral Anderson]] running Jane's assassin firm.
** Not to mention, Angela Bassett running John's assassin firm.

* RealLifeRelative: Not at this stage but soon afterwards.
** But already well publicized before the movie came out, to the point that some initially assumed that this was a Gigli-style attempt at capitalizing on their romance. Apparently, they fell in love on the set.

* RomanceOnTheSet: Pitt infamously left Jennifer Aniston for Jolie while filming.

* ThrowItIn: The scene where John accidentally shoots through Jane's windshield was supposed to have him hopping over the last fence, but Brad Pitt actually tripped and broke the fence. However, his muttered line of "Oh, dear God!" as he rushed through the mangled fence was so amusing that the director kept the scene the way it was.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Brad and Angelina were both replacements when filming began to snarl. Before the two of them were confirmed, others such as Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Nicole Kidman, and Catherine Zeta-Jones were considered. Now try to imagine both A) the movie with any combination of the previous actors, and B) a world without Brangelina.
