I'm in the middle of creating separate pages for the 1974 and 2009 movies, and in preparation for making sure I get everything right I've been checking the crosswicks.

I happened across Five Bad Band/Film and Pelham is listed there, but I think the trope has been shoehorned rather badly. First, there's only four bad guys, and one of the tropes has been made to do double-duty on one person.

As such I think the trope itself should be delisted for Pelham, but I want to get a consensus before I go editing that crosswick to remove the entry for that movie.

Those ensemble tropes are very often shoehorned, so it's usually not a problem to just fix them (which usually means deletion), in particular when there's some obvious shoehorning going on like in that one. One person per role and one role per person is one of the rules.

Yep. That degree of shoehorning is always good to remove without discussion. Just leave a non-snarky edit reason that explains it's shoehorned.

Okay, I'll remove it in a bit and leave an edit reason directing people to the forums in addition to explaining that it's a shoehorned trope.
