None

Added DiffLines:

* BigGood: The closest thing to one in this film, if not his wife. He's very against the Nostradamus Cult and runs on the platform of rational thinking. He very much wants to see his daughter safely returned, but not before he announces his candidacy.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Trumplica}}: Head of a media empire? Check. Incredibly wealthy? Check? HQ is a tower? Check. Cares more about his ratings than his family? Check.

[[folder:Julia]]
->'''Japanese:''' Yumi Adachi
->'''English:''' Creator/LauraBailey
->'''French:''' Lucile Boulanger
->'''Italian:''' Letizia Ciampa (DVD Dub)

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Naturally.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Throughout the movie, Julia refers to Lupin as "pedophile". It eventually becomes an InsultOfEndearment.
* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Daughter]]: The Nostradamus Sect informs Douglas that they've kidnapped Julia, to blackmail him into dropping out of the Presidential election. Douglas refuses.
* MundaneMacGuffinPerson: Julia. The only way to access the security vault of the Douglas Building, is [[spoiler: via a retina scan, of ''her'' eyes.]]
* NoMacGuffinNoWinner: [[spoiler:When Lupin rescues Julia and finally has his hands on the book of Nostradamus, it turns out to be completely worthless because Julia doodled on it whilst playing in the vault. This prompts him to let Goemon slice it to ribbons.]]

[[folder:Senator Douglas]]
->'''Japanese:''' Osamu Saka
->'''English:''' Creator/BriceArmstrong
->'''French:''' Gilbert Lévy
->'''Italian:''' Stefano De Sando
* {{Eageland}}: Type 2. He tries to act more like Type 1.

[[folder:Mary Douglas]]
->'''Japanese:''' Fumi Dan
->'''English:''' Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard
->'''French:''' Danièle Hazan
* CallingTheOldManOut: Mary publicly criticizes her husband, Douglas, at the opening festivities of the World Cup, by telling the crowd he's chosen to run for office, rather than save their daughter.
* Mama Bear: She takes moer of an initiative to rescue Julia.
* WhatTheHellHero: Mary's reaction when her husband basically puts his presidential campaign ahead of his daughter is to basically say "What the Hell, Douglas?!" on national television. Which is ''another'' trope: CallingTheOldManOut in public.

[[folder:Rhisley]]
->'''Japanese:''' Hōsei Komatsu
->'''English:''' Creator/JoshMartin
->'''French:''' Frédéric Cerdal
->'''Italian:''' Mario Bombardieri (Mediaset dub), Pietro Biondi (DVD dub)
*AsTheGoodBookSays: Exploits this on his followers, all claiming to be part of Nostradamus' writings. The only genuine prediction he quotes ad-verbatim is just before Chris sets off the explosives early.
*BigBad: The book in [[spoiler: Rhisely]]'s possession is fake. The only reason his predictions come true is because he arranges for them to happen, as part of his scheme to get his hands on the real one in Douglas' security vault.
* {{Cult}}: The leader of one. Those who blindly follow the Nostradamus sect, unaware that it's a sham.
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler: Rhisely]] and Chris both fall to their deaths. Chris meets his demise during his failed attempt to break into the vault. [[spoiler: Rhisely]] joins him, minutes later, [[KarmicDeath when his followers set off the explosives]] in the Douglas Tower.
* EvilIsHammy: [[spoiler: Rhisely]], especially during his public readings of the [[spoiler: false]] prophesies of Nostradamus.
* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler: Rhisely.]] Sure, he puts on airs of being humble, yet sophisticated, but he's really just a con artist.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Rhisely dies in the destruction of the Douglas Building, which he orchestrated and set in motion.]]
* MysteriousEmployer: Remember that buyer who offered to pay Fujiko fifty million for Nostradamus' book of prophesies? Turns out it was [[spoiler: Rhisely.]]
-->'''*senses he's being watched*'''\\
[[spoiler: '''Rhisley:''']] '''(shouting in Fujiko's direction)''' "And ''YOU'', [[IKnowYoureWatchingMe back there...!]] I guess [[ChekhovsGun you can forget about that fifty million!!]] HAHAHAHAA!!"
* ScamReligion: The Nostradamus Sect is built purely to get the leverage needed to gain access to the Douglas's vault.

->'''English:''' Creator/DameonClarke
->'''French:''' Hervé Caradec
->'''Italian:''' Davide Marzi (Mediaset dub), Massimo De Ambrosis (DVD dub)
* TheDragon: Chris to [[spoiler: Rhisely.]]
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Chris, as noted in the [[TheStarscream Starscream]] entry further down.
* IFellForHours: If anyone "legally" enters the vault [[spoiler:without scanning a security card into their visor]], they'll be treated to a virtual simulation where they keep falling... and falling... and falling... [[MindRape It's worse than it sounds.]]
* ObviouslyEvil: As if his SlasherSmile wasn't enough.
* TheStarscream: When Chris decides [[spoiler: Rhisely]] isn't moving things along quickly enough, he takes matters into his own hands and ends their partnership. Then goes for the book, himself.
