* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Mel thinking that Homer was the OnlySaneMan with the guts to tell him that not having violence in the movie was a bad thing, when there were several hundred people writing glowing reviews saying otherwise when Homer is just incredibly low brow and only wrote a negative review because he was mad at Gibson flirting with Marge after the screening. This is dramatic because it completely wrecks his career.

* PanderingToTheBase: InUniverse, Homer writes a bad review of his movie so Gibson lets him work on the re-edit, thinking Homer was saying what people really felt and was [[TheLastDJ the only one with the guts to tell him]], when in fact it was because Homer is an idiot with low brow tastes and [[GreenEyedMonster had a grudge against Mel at the time due to Marge's infatuation with him]].

* PreMortemOneLiner: When Mr. Smith receives the machine gun from the member of the press played by Homer in the new ending, he backflips onto a table in front of the Senate chamber's central rostrum, then says, "All in favor, say ''die!''" before quickly doing an imitation of Curly from The Three Stooges (Mel Gibson is a noted Three Stooges fan), then proceeding to fire the gun.

* ConfirmationBias: InUniverse, combined with Mel's belief that most people only tell him what he wants to hear, this is what initially draws him to Homer: Mel fears that the movie will have a tepid reception because it didn't have any action on it ([[Film/{{Braveheart}} as opposed]] [[Film/LethalWeapon to his]] [[Film/{{Payback}} usual fare]] [[Film/ThePatriot at the time]]), and when Homer's scathing review (the only one of its kind among hundreds of glowing reviews) voices all of Gibson's worries, he's convinced that Homer is the only one gutsy enough to openly say what everybody else is thinking.

** For some reason, Homer believes that there is a scene in ''Braveheart'' where the Scots mooned the British and this scared them off. Mel corrects him that it was a bunch of bloody battles that the Scots eventually ''lost'' before nearly (or in Homer's case, actually) being hit by the executives' car.
