History Film / TroubleInMind

* OppositesAttract Cultured Solo and Uneducated Coop.

* NoirCity: Rather Rain City, also known as Seattle. It is not black and white, rather colorful as it is shot in 1985, post-Blade Runner.

* TheDeterminator: Coop pretends to be the one but falls flat on his face.

* MuggingTheMonster: That's what Coop and Solo try to do when they rob Nate Nathanson. [[spoiler: it ends in a partial failure. They have to run away as he manages to take the possession of the gun and shoots at them but both Cool and Solo manage to escape with the jewels they took when they still had him at the gunpoint. Still the whole scene establishes that Nate Nathanson is a badass while both Coop and Solo are ineffectual criminals.]]

Touble in Mind is a 1985 American FilmNoir (neo-noir) made by Alan Rudolphe. It features Kris Kristofferson and Creator/KeithCarradine. Also Divine without drag (although he still looks pretty campy)

Coop also meets a black urban philosopher-cum-criminal, Solo, who leads her futher down the road of depravity. On their path they collide with the local criminal boss Hilly Blue played by Divine and his opponent, Nate Nathanson. Coop then starts to transform his appearence under the influence of Solo, from a regular rusmall-town guy he gradually turns into the parody of David Bowie.

* BulletHolesAndRevelations: [[spoiler: In the scene where Coop has Hawk and Hilly Blue at the gunpoint the former grabs the gun of Coop and they start to fight. Hilly Blue is then starting to shoot indiscriminately at Coop and Hawk fighting. Hawk turns around and makes a PrettyLittleHeadshots in his head. Then he says Coop to go away which the latter does. Then it is revealed that Hilly Blue actually hit Haw in the left side of his body.]]

* EveryoneIsArmed: Played with, at the big party near the end Females are not armed but most males are. It results in a huge shooutout.

* FilmNoir: Mid-80's version, Neo-Noir

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: While Coop hurts some people on his way he is ultimately that, his actions are frequently inept, also Hawk always has the upper side in their confrontation without muhch effort. [[spoiler: In the end Coop even survives and joins military.]]

* YouOweMe; This trope is invoked by Hawk to the police officer when Georgia baby's lost. The latter probably sets the machine in motion offscreen and the baby is promptly found.

** The trope is invoked by a girl in the second scene who says to [[spoiler: Georgia]] that they are having party when it clearly looks like an orgy.

* HandicappedBadass: Hawk acually has a visible limp. Which does not prevent him from doing anything.

* FryingPanOfDoom: Georgia in one scene uses it to protect herself from [[spoiler: Hawk the antihero no less who harasses her in this scene asking to come out with him for diner extremely insistently while she repeatedly refuses.]]
* HookersAndBlow: Played with at the orgies of Coop and Solo because blow is not seen, just booze and tobacco. Hookers galore though.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: While Coop hurts some people on his way he is ultimately that, his actions are frequently inept, also Hawk always has the upper side in their confrontation without muhch effort. [[spoiler: In the end Coop even survives and joins military.]].

On their path they collide with the local criminal boss Hilly Blue played by Divine and his opponent, Nate Nathanson. Coop also starts to transform his appearence under the influence of Solo. From a regular rural guy he gradually turns into the parody of David Bowie.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Coop (as well as Hawk) During the final big shootout [[spoiler: they both pass through the crowd which shoot at eahc other and remain unharmed. People all kill one another but Hawk goes his way through the mansion whire the shootout takes place to the car and is never hit. Hawk who is previously hit by Divine also does not suffer any other wound]]

* DamselInDistress: georgia.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Played straight with Coop [[spoiler: who survives but voluntarily quits Georgia and joins military.]]

* MuggingTheMonster: That's what Coop and Solo try to do when they rob Nate. [[spoiler: it ends in a complete failure]]

* YouOweMe; This trope is invoked by Hawk to the police officer when Georgia baby's lost. The latter probably sets the machine in motion offscreen and the baby is promptly found.

* GreyAndGrayMorality: Hawk is an antihero with many flaws while Coop is an ineffectual sympathetic villain. Both gang leaders also are not totally black. It is indeed a grey world.

** Arguably [[subverted by Hawk who in the final scene drives the car and the other front seat is not shown, then Georgia appears from csmera left. It might be his dying dream as he is hit by the bullet of Hilly Blue might be not]]

Coop also arriving in the city and starting his friendship with the sleazy Solo starts to transformhis appearence. From a regular rural guy he gradually turns into the parody of David Bowie.
Hawk, on his part, has to fight his internal demons, also he without much effort fights Coop to protect Georgia (and at times tries to protect Coop from much worse criminals too). The demons of Hawk are pretty serious as he is not always gentlemanly with said Georgia or Wanda tha diner owner.
