:::Since we are writing an encyclopedia article, we tend towards a dispassionate plot summary. We convey the events of the story and the reader can interpret humor if something funny happens that is notable enough to be included. 
 To be frank, "Cue comedy henchman torture and escape by concealed gun" is terrible in an encyclopedia article. That you are not seeing this is I'm sure part of the frustration TOJ expressed. This isn't the appropriate place to try to convey that the story is humorous through quirky or eccentric wording. That sentence belongs in a concise newspaper review of the film, not an encyclopedia article.
