->Zorin is the next logical evolution of the Bond villain. Like Timothy Dalton’s Bond seemed to foreshadow Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, the calm and calculated psychopathy of Max Zorin seems years ahead of the curve. He seems to enjoy violence for the sake of it. Compare the shots of Zorin viciously gunning down his men to those of [[{{Film/GoldenEye}} Xenia Onatopp]] climaxing during the massacre in Siberia. I imagine that Zorin and Xenia would have got along perfectly.

->During this scene, Zack gives so many [[AsideGlance reaction looks]] to camera, I'm hoping to see ''[[Series/SavedByTheBell SBTB]]'' cited as an influence on ''Series/{{The Office|UK}}'', if Creator/RickyGervais can squeeze in such a statement between all the atheism, and the racist material that's absolutely fine because it's 'ironic'.

->The scene in ''[[Film/TheDarkKnightRises TDKR]]'' that I'm thinking of is the bit where Crane (AKA Scarecrow) conducts rigged show trials of establishment figures in front of a baying mob. It made me think of the scene where Q, dressed up as a judge, puts [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Picard and his crew]] on trial in a phantom version of a court from the "post-Atomic horror". (I'd mention the offensively highlighted interracial make-up of both mobs... but that's pretty much par for the course. At least ''TDKR'' didn't have an evil oriental dwarf banging a gong).
