Thriller

Thrillers usually have a set of rules which the stick to and follow with every film. An example of this is James Bond where he breaks into the villains compound gets captured where the villain confronts him tells him all his plans and then orders someone to send him to some strange kind of death, like being thrown to the crocodiles. Where then Bond escapes by using some kind of gadget Q has given him and foils the villains plans. 

The best example of keeping to the rules of the films are in the animation Road Runner where the rules are as follows 

1) The road runner cannot harm or upset the coyote expect by going 'Meep! Meep!'.

2) No outside force can harm he Coyote, only his own ineptitude or the failure of acme products.

3) The Coyote could stop anytime - if he were not a fanatic.

4) No dialogue ever, except 'Meep! Meep!'.

5) The road runner must stay on the road - otherwise logically he would not be call called road runner.

6) All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters - the Southwest American desert.

7) All materials, tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from Acme corporation.

8) whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy.

9) The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.
