War Dogs: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (genre revival): Deal of the Century → War Dogs. Deal of the Century and Best Defense killed the arms-dealer comedy until War Dogs brought it back.
    “that movie and best defense quickly ended the arms dealer comedy genre that it was for some reason developing, just ended.”

William Friedkin: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (director mismatch): Deal of the Century → William Friedkin. Friedkin directing a Chevy Chase arms-dealer comedy is an unlikely fit.
