-> ''"I run this town!"''
--> '''Johnny Macmullen'''
''Gold Standard'' is a 2018 Irish short film written and directed by Zac Goold.
We're introduced to two dim-witted hitmen Fergal (Bobby Calloway) and Liam (Shane Martin). They're hired by crime lord Johnny Mac (Thomas Leggett) to murder a boy with a lot of debt. In the process of the murder, they're spotted by a parking attendant Tom (Jack O'Byrne) - who unbeknownst to them is Johnny's son.
Johnny orders the boys to kill the witness, not realising it's his own son. Also being dragged into the fray is Tom's sister and Johnny's daughter Amber (Vanessa Schaefer) - who also has a one night stand with Liam. Hilarity does not ensue.
!!Tropes:
* AffablyEvil: Johnny Mac at first appears to be friendly and welcoming to the two boys. Then we find out what happens when you piss him off.
* AffectionateNickname: Fergal attempts to give Johnny the nickname 'Johnno'.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Johnny chews the boys out for using his daughter, murdering his son and lying.
* BadassBoast: Johnny's final speech "I run this town!"
* BaldOfEvil: Johnny's shifty lawyer Damo.
* BeastAndBeauty: Liam (beast) and Amber (beauty).
* BloodKnight: Liam appears to be the more outwardly violent of the two hitmen, sadistically enjoying killing James.
* BoundAndGagged:
** One of Johnny's victims James is introduced this way.
** Tom also ends up this way too.
* BrainlessBeauty: Fergal is better groomed than Liam and also quite the idiot.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: After getting briefed on their assignment, Fergal wonders why Butch is nicknamed so.
* DatingCatwoman: Gender flipped where Amber doesn't know she's hooked up with a hitman.
* DaylightHorror: Johnny Mac shooting everyone happens in broad daylight.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Fergal reported a bike illegally parked outside his house to the police...
--> '''Liam:''' And you're about to kill a guy in public?
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** Fergal's raisin monologue establishes that he's not the brightest bulb.
** Johnny Mac's torture of James lets us know all we need to about him.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Johnny Mac seems to care for his son and daughter.
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Amber is a beautiful and charismatic blonde.
* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry:
** Johnny Mac wears a collection of rings.
** Fergal has a gold chain and bracelet.
* FriendsRentControl: Amber and Tom have a pretty nice house for two youngsters. Tom has a job as a parking attendant, but Amber's isn't stated. Given Johnny's control of the town, presumably his money pays for it.
* FromBadToWorse: Liam and Fergal's hit gets witnessed and the witness is Johnny's son - who they then kill!
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Fergal first orders a "small glass of Vodka" because by his logic, it's too early for shots. He gets served a shot glass, and can be seen pouting at it.
* FurAndLoathing: Johnny Mac is introduced wearing a fur-lined coat.
* GenkiGuy: Fergal is pretty exuberant about a lot of things.
* GoryDiscretionShot:
** Tom getting clubbed to death with a shovel is shown only with the camera on Fergal.
** When Liam is beating on Tom, it keeps cutting to Fergal's reactions.
* GroinAttack: Fergal kicks Butch in the balls.
* {{Irony}}: Tom becomes a witness to a hit his father ordered, and Johnny's ordering to tie up the loose ends kills him.
* KillEmAll: Four characters die, including the two protagonists.
* LetsGetDangerous: The ditzy Fergal is the one who shoots Butch dead and beats Tom to death with the shovel.
* MafiaPrincess: Implied with Amber.
* TheOner: The final scene is all done in one take.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Bobby Calloway slips out of his Liverpool accent when he says "it's the kids who don't eat raisins..."
* SeinfeldianConversation: The first scene has Fergal going on a spiel about the difference between raisin eaters and non-raisin eaters.
* SidetrackedByTheAnalogy: Fergal and Liam get into a ramble about how the shape eyebrows grow into.
* SmokingIsGlamorous: Amber is introduced smoking, and it's used to show her as desirable for Liam.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Amber is the only female character in a cast of five prominent males.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: This is the meeting between Amber and Liam.
* SuddenlyShouting: "Do you KNOW HIS NAME?"
* TitleDrop: 'Gold Standard' refers to the monetary system of old - which is explained by Johnny's lawyer Damo.
