History WesternAnimation / KillerBeanForever

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The fiscal year chart for Cappuccino's company shows that they sell weapons, narcotics, and... eggs.

* AntiHero: Killer Bean (Nominal Hero). Detective Cromwell may also qualify.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Cappuccino is utterly shocked when Vagan tells him about his nephew's death. He even brings it up when [[spoiler: Killer Bean is captured]]. [[spoiler:It's made clear in the same scene that his love for his nephew is genuine, as Cappuccino describes him in a very doting and sweet manner, saying that he was proud of his career as a DJ, to which Killer Bean apathetically reminds the mob boss that his nephew is dead now. Cappuccino immediately smacks Killer Bean ''sharply'' across the face for the disrespect, and walks away, demanding to Vagan and his men that the assassin is killed right then and there, no longer caring about the information he could get out of him, declaring Killer Bean to be waste of time and effort.]]

* EverybodyDiesEnding: [[spoiler: Killer Bean, his Shadow Bean contact, Cromwell (who had the good sense to go home before the final confrontation), the Chinese restaurant owner and a one-scene bartender are the only characters who aren't dead by the end of the movie.]]

* InstantDeathBullet: Very much the case. The moment anyone actually gets hit by a bullet, they die. The only difference is that {{Mooks}} drop instantly while the more important characters (namely, [[spoiler: Vagan and Jet Bean]]) stick out long enough to provide a few last words.

* SociopathicHero: Killer Bean shows traits like this. While it's not entirely sociopathic to not feel for those who kill given that assassins must learn to close off their emotions when working, his apathetic and reckless demeanor are definitely there to consider given that he mocks the death Cappuccino's nephew right in front of him and given his habit of engraving his name on his bullet shells, he may also be narcissistic. He also stated to be by his former bosses and Cromwell to be impulsive, hinting at a possibly low functioning sociopathy.

*** During the shootout in the warehouse later in the film, Killer Bean starts throwing the mooks' own grenades at them. How does one bean respond to this? By staring at the grenade slowly rolling towards him, and calling it out to his fellow beans just before it explodes under his feet.
** Killer Bean shoots up the Mafia Dance Party... and leaves behind a boatload of evidence (such as his golden ''and signed'' shell casings) which allows the police (specifically Detective Cromwell) to track him down by next morning, and tips Vagan off to his approach.

* ForWantOfANail:

* WhamShot: After Killer Bean [[spoiler:succeeds in his mission to off Vagan, he activates his communicator wristwatch to contact the Shadow Agency and inform them...only for the watch to not activate. Cut to ''Jet Bean'', a fellow Shadow Bean, arriving at Beantown's docks, asking who ''his'' target his, and then cut back to a confused Killer Bean, frustratingly attempting to set up a call with his employers, only to look more closely at his watch, which is displaying one final, chilling message confirming once and for all that Vagan was, in fact, ''not'' lying to Killer Bean during his backstory rant:]]

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Cappuccino fires Vagan for his deception.]] [[spoiler: Only to be shot by Vagan.]]

* UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem: One of the guards tauntingly asks a tied up Killer Bean, [[LampshadeHanging "How does it feel to be killed, by your own gun?"]] while pointing Killer Bean's own gun at him. Killer Bean breaks out and later steals the guard's own gun, [[IronicEcho and asks him the exact same question]] [[DeathByIrony before shooting him through the head.]]

* WhamShot: After Killer Bean {[spoiler:succeeds in his mission to off Vagan, he activates his communicator wristwatch to contact the Shadow Agency and inform them...only for the watch to not activate. Cut to ''Jet Bean'', a fellow Shadow Bean, arriving at Beantown's docks, asking who ''his'' target his, and then cut back to a confused Killer Bean, frustratingly attempting to set up a call with his employers, only to look more closely at his watch, which is displaying one final, chilling message confirming once and for all that Vagan was, in fact, ''not'' lying to Killer Bean during his backstory rant:]]

* WhamShot:

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Cappuccino fires Vagan for his deception. [[spoiler: only to be shot by Vagan]]
--> '''Cappuccino:''' Oh by the way, Vagan... '''YOU'RE FIRED!!'''

* TheMafia: In bean form. They are Killer Bean's enemies.

* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVSSeriousness: Surprisingly enough, it falls on the serious side of the spectrum. The plot itself is taken and deals with a very serious subject (Assassinations, Drug Trafficking [[spoiler:and Betrayal]]), and most of the comedy comes from Killer Bean's quips and dry sense of humor, with only two scenes being really deliberately comedic (Killer Bean's "Double Flusher" and Cappuccino's [[BadBoss Bad Boss]] tendencies with his hungover employees).

* WhamLine: [[spoiler: Killer Bean reveals he's not here to kill Cappuccino, but to kill ''Vagan''. Suddenly the plot turns from fighting against TheMafia to assassinating a rogue agent of Killer Bean's organization for [[HeKnowsTooMuch knowing too much]], before Killer Bean finds out he was expendable from the start and next on the list.]]

A [[AllCGICartoon CGI-animated]] action movie created by Hollywood special effects artist Jeff Lew. This movie is notable for being an action film entirely starring a cast of beans. As in, coffee beans. It was independently made, designed almost entirely by a single person, with a cast of only five actors, one of them Lew himself, voicing all the characters.

After a surge of popularity in 2019, Jeff announced in January 2020 that a sequel series would be released in late February 2020, later delayed to March/April 2020. The first episode was finally released in September 2020. The series had been cancelled as of Autumn 2021, through the Killer Bean video game has been announced as the continuation by Jeff himself. The game will be a {{Roguelike}} ThirdPersonShooter with a procedurely generated story and is slated for a 2023 early access release.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot:

** Even more ironic is that at the beginning of the movie, when Cromwell and his police officer apprentice both confront Vagan outside one of Cappuccino's warehouses just after Killer Bean's first rampage, the officer loudly considers arresting Vagan solely because he is second-in-command to Cappuccino, a tyrannical mob boss controlling Beantown's gun and drug trade. [[spoiler:Vagan turns to Cromwell, and smugly remarks to the detective that their would be no point in taking him in, as Cappuccino would use his lawyers and the power granted by his position to have Vagan absolved of all charges and walk away scot-free before they could even get to the police station. Cromwell promptly lets Vagan go free, even giving him the heads-up that there's a rogue killer after his boss with evidence to go off of to boot, [[spoiler:but he is still clearly upset about Cappuccino's seeming untouchability, with him spending the past '''''three years''''' trying and failing to take him down. When ranting about this to Killer Bean at a local bar, the normally fair and patient detective viciously voices a desire to just walk in to the gangster's office and shoot him.]] Well, [[spoiler:Cappuccino ''does'' end up shot by the end, but it is not by Cromwell, one of his officers, or even ''Killer Bean''--it's '''Vagan''' who pulls the trigger on him, the same bean who boasted about Cappuccino's invulnerability that he shares as his closest lackey, to Cromwell's face earlier.]] What's even better is that also, true to what Vagan said, [[spoiler:Cappuccino is aware that he is above the law, and acts accordingly throughout the film, and his final act of arrogance is to fire Vagan from his right-hand man position after finding out from Killer Bean that his top henchman is the The Shadow Agency's true target, not him.]] [[spoiler:The last thing that the once-proud Cappuccino sees is the business end of one of Vagan's pistols.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:From the moment their existence is revealed and they're introduced as a faction, The Shadow Agency falls more and more into this. They are barely connected to Cappuccino or his cartel, yet they do certainly cover and control a FAR greater scope of the setting, and they are the ones Killer Bean is working for throughout the film. They sent Jack to Beantown in order to hunt down and kill Vagan, who is Cappuccino's primary enforcer, which puts the assassin right in line to murder Cappuccino's nephew, kickstarts the movie's major conflict. They fall squarely into the "villain" part of the trope with the reveal of Vagan's backstory; he, too, is a member of Shadow Agency, one who betrayed the entire organization in response to those in charge having their professional killing agents, the "Shadow Beans", give their deadly services to the the highest bidder, leading to Vagan stealing his information back from the agency and hiding among Cappuccino's ranks, leading to Killer Bean's arrival. They are so influential, in fact, that Harry retells to Cromwell that the government once used the Shadow Agency to fight against national military threats before they stopped using their assassins--possibly as a result of their fall to villainy. In short, despite Cappuccino being the person Killer Bean fights against the most in the movie, The Shadow Agency is still essentially causing the entire conflict we see from behind the scenes, and they are a much greater threat than Cappuccino or any of his men could ''ever'' even hope to be.

* FreezeFrameBonus: When Killer Bean is reloading a gun during the warehouse fight, the bullets are gold in color, foreshadowing Cromwell's discovery at the warehouse

* INeedToGoIronMyDog: Cappuccino gets out of the standoff between Killer Bean and Vagan by saying he needs to go do his taxes. Subverted because he then turns around and [[spoiler:fires Vagan, an act that gets Cappuccino killed.]]
* IWantThemAlive: Cappuccino argues that he wants answers from Killer Bean when Vegan suggests just killing him. [[spoiler: This ends up costing him his life.]]

* {{Irony}}: Cappuccino's unnamed nephew that acts as the catalyst of the plot asks Killer Bean if he knows just what he's pissing off and who his uncle is. Killer Bean's response is a BluntYes before shooting him dead. Turns out he actually [[ButForMeItWasTuesday didn't really care that much]], and goes fighting TheMafia on the hunt for his target afterwards without realizing why they're so pissed at him until Cappuccino spells it out personally.

** Cappuccino proves to be a ruthless mob boss throughout the movie, but the final nail in the coffin is when he tries to throw his henchman Vagan under the bus because [[spoiler:Vagan is the one who Killer Bean is after, and is thus the reason why Killer Bean has disrupted Cappuccino's crime ring.]] He fires Vagan, only for [[spoiler:Vagan to immediately shoot him, without a word.]]
** One of the cops who meets Jet Bean mocks Jet's intelligence and [[AsianSpeekeeEngrish does a racist imitation of a Chinese accent.]] He gets [[spoiler:a hard kick in the face that sends him flying across the room. This kick probably killed him, since he doesn't get back up, but the other cops only say that Jet "assaulted" the cop.]]
* BadBoss: Cappuccino. He kills two of his mooks because of declining narcotics sales, and it's implied this is far from the first time he did something like this. Though in his defense, aside from Vagan, he ''is'' SurroundedByIdiots.

* BatterUp: Cappuccino combines this trope with a fall from the top of a tall building for truly spectacular results. Him keeping the bat on a rack under his screen and having a "batting average" implies this is a regular occurrence.
* BigotWithABadge: Upon meeting Jet Bean, a Chinese bean with a heavy accent, one cop in Beantown (which is implied to be in the bean version of America) mocks Jet by imitating his accent and saying stereotypical AsianSpeekeeEngrish things. [[spoiler: As it turns out, he's BullyingADragon, as Jet gives him a hard kick in the face.]]
* BlingBlingBang: Killer Bean's golden bullets. His guns also have some parts which are golden.
* BloodlessCarnage: Lots of guns are fired, and characters get beaten. Characters die, but no-one bleeds. No-one even ShowsDamage, such as being chipped.
* BottomlessMagazines: Despite ostensibly carrying two pistols that have bullets individually signed with Killer Bean's name and use golden casings, it doesn't stop him from firing them for potentially as long as he needs to. He does reload in between volleys of fire, [[{{ZigZaggedTrope}} sometimes.]] Funny enough in a literal sense, since every bean applies to HalfDressedCartoonAnimal logic, Killer Bean also basically pulls a seemingly unlimited supply of extra magazines out of his ass since he has no ammo pouches, ever.
* BullyingADragon: DoubleSubverted during the final standoff between Killer Bean and Vagan. Killer Bean tells Cappuccino to get out, but after learning about the agency that Killer Bean is from [[spoiler:and Vagan defected from]], Cappuccino demands to know more. Killer Bean threatens to kill Cappuccino for his stubbornness. Cappuccino realizes the danger he's in and wisely surrenders and starts to leave. But then he turns around and [[spoiler:tells Vagan he's fired, throwing him under the bus. Vagan shoots Cappuccino on the spot]].

** Oddly, this trope was averted earlier in the movie when a sniper attacks Killer Bean through the walls of a warehouse. Granted, he was using a high tech sniper rifle that could track Killer Bean through solid matter but it's still strange to see.

* DiskOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: So, both Vagan and Cappuccino are dead. But wait! Jet Bean is on his way to kill Killer Bean, so there is one more confrontation in the climax!]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Quite a few characters, major and minor, have a tendency to commit or attempt this, usually by resorting to [[MurderIsTheBestSolution murder]]:

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Cappuccino is utterly shocked when Vagan tells him about his nephew's death. He even brings it up when [[spoiler: Killer Bean is captured]].

* ChekhovsGun: Killer Bean's golden bullets. Detective Cromwell recovers one from the party massacre and later returns it to Killer Bean. [[spoiler: At the end of the film, Killer Bean kills Jet Bean by throwing this bullet and then shooting it.]]

A dance party held by the local gangsters goes awry after its loud music attracts the ire of assassin Jack "Killer" Bean (Vegas Trip), who [[DisproportionateRetribution crashes the party after being rudely dismissed by its DJ]]. After Killer Bean's night-time massacre draws a ''lot'' of attention, Detective Cromwell (Bryan Session) of the Bean Town Police Department finds himself drawn into a strange conspiracy regarding Killer Bean and his apparent target: Cappuccino (Matthew Tyler), the local Mafia Boss and [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes uncle of the dance party's DJ]]. Meanwhile, Jack is berated by the shadowy group he works for (David Guilmette), who is treated with familiarity by [[TheDragon Cappuccino's right hand man, Vagan]].
