** Bonehead's actual lawyer is a double subversion. He's utterly incompetent and strung out on drugs during the trial, resulting in his sentence. But in the present, he ends up representing Terrence for drug dealing and gets him off!



* DelinquentHair: Tania styles her hair into a mohawk for the gig, marking quite a change from her respectable bob haircut elsewhere in the film.



* MrFanservice: Bonehead spends a lot of the film in tank tops or tight t-shirts, showing off Baz Black's physique, and gets a shirtless scene at one point.



* PinkIsForSissies: Bonehead's incompetence in the opening is underlined when all he could get was a pink balaclava. He's told even by the woman he's robbing that it's not very intimidating.

* WomenAreDelicate: Judge Shaw when sentencing Bonehead draws attention to how he robbed an elderly woman as especially reprehensible. The audience knows Bonehead was as much a threat to her as a butterfly is to a cat.

''Dublin Crust'' is a 2023 Irish {{Dramedy}}, written and directed by Creator/BazBlack.

The eponymous Dublin Crust were a PunkRock band formed in the 90s, but dissolved ten years previously when their screw-up of a drummer Bonehead (also played by Baz Black) ended up in prison for armed robbery. He's just been released, having also kicked his drug habit, and wants to put Crust back together for one last reunion gig.

Also stars Leanne Bickerdike, Rob [=McCarthy=], Louise [=McCann=], AP Martin, Andy Byrne and Eddie Nil.

!!Tropes:

* TheNineties: The opening is a montage of clips from 90s Dublin, as well as old footage of the band.
* AgeGapRomance: Tania was previously with Des, and had a son with him, and there appears to be a good ten years between them.
* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Bonehead fit the trope in his youth - as the wildest member of the group - but he has matured completely and gotten clean now.
* BadBoss: Andy's boss Jeremy is an insufferable HateSink who tries to make him miss the reunion gig just because.
* BarBrawl: It wouldn't be a movie about a punk bad without a brawl in the bar between the members and a group of {{Jerkass}}es harrassing women. Gerry misses the whole thing while in the toilet.
* BookEnds: The film begins and ends with a quote about Crust's influence.
* BriefAccentImitation: Mickey does a Scottish accent when quoting ''{{Film/Braveheart}}''.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Mickey introduces a producer who's an outright NewAgeRetroHippie who apparently was paid in crystals, but helps make "All That's Gold" a surprise hit on the radio.
* ContrivedCoincidence: When Des is in court for dealing, he not only has the same lawyer who represented Bonehead in his trial, he's in front of the same judge too.
* DublinSkanger: Mickey fits the comedy variant - portrayed as a lovable doofus - and has the aesthetic of a baseball cap and tracksuit wardrobe.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Bonehead is '''Sanguine''', Eddie is '''Choleric''', Des is '''Melancholic''', Andy is '''Phlegmatic'''.
* HairstyleInertia: Bonehead is shown to have had a similar mohawk hairstyle in the 90s, and his hair didn't change between prison and release.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Bonehead coughing a few times throughout the film signals that something is up.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Although Bonehead's FalseFriend Jimmy dodged consequences of the botched robbery (due to the former not naming him), he reappears later in a sorry state. [[spoiler: His addiction has caught up to him and he's seen with a black eye and having to walk with a cane]].
* TheLancer: Eddie's main role is to be Bonehead's friend and contrast.
* LeadDrummer: Bonehead is the band's drummer, and the main protagonist. Eddie is the lead singer, but Bonehead gets the most focus in interviews.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Ian mentions he has a history with Gerry. Ian is played by ''Gerry'' Cannon.
* LipstickAndLoadMontage: Tracy and Tania get one where they do their makeup and hair to look appropriately punk for the reunion gig.
* MissingMom: Bonehead's mother died while he was in prison, and he gets a tearful scene at her grave after he's released. Especially sad since he couldn't even go to her funeral.
* MrFanservice: Bonehead spends a lot of the film in tank tops or tight t-shirts, showing off Baz Black's physique, and gets a shirtless scene at one point.
* NeverMessWithGranny: Daisy, the elderly shopkeeper that Bonehead tries to rob in the beginning, is unfazed by him and cheerfully offers him a chance not to do it. But when he does, she calls a security guard on him equally as cheerfully.
* NiceGirl: Tracy is a kind, supportive person who is the first to meet Bonehead after he gets out, and later offers her house for him to stay when she learns he's been sleeping under a bridge.
* NonconformistDyedHair: Eddie has badger hair to signal how he's not cut out for regular life.
* TheNotLoveInterest: Tracy shows a lot of concern and affection for Bonehead the way a love interest would, and acts as his emotional support. They appear to be entirely platonic however, as Tracy snorts when Eddie suggests they might be getting together.
* OnceMoreWithClarity: The conversation between Tracy and Bonehead when they reunite is replayed again in the third act to deliver TheReveal.
* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: Bonehead's raison d'etre. He wants to have one last reunion gig with them.
* ShirtlessScene: Bonehead gets one coming out of the shower, showing that tattoos cover his entire torso. Eddie is also shirtless when Gerry calls round at the house.
* SlobsVersusSnobs:
** Highlighted between Tania, who's a single mother with a North Dublin accent, and the school she has her son in, which seems to be posher and insists he transfer to a smaller one.
** Lizzy the posh woman from the label is attracted to Mickey, the north Dub who's never out of a tracksuit.
* SoulCrushingDeskJob: Andy has a desk job selling cars, and has an annoying boss.
* SoulSuckingRetailJob: Eddie's introduction is being fired from a corner shop after mouthing off to a BrattyHalfPint. He admits to Tracy he hated working there.
* TattooedCrook: Subverted. Although Bonehead was in prison for armed robbery, he stole only a handful of notes and was no real harm. He's got his act together completely by the time of release.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We never get any word on whether Tania will let Des see their son, though possibly things look better for them after the gig.
