Murphy's Razor

the principle that the best method of surviving a horrific situation is to simply leave, posited by Eddie Murphy in his long-form standup comedy film Delirious; "it's very simple; if there's a ghost in the house, get the f**k out the house"
in Eden Lake, when faced with a bunch of abusive ASBO kids with a Rottweiler, Fassbender should simply have employed Murphy's Razor and gone to a Holiday inn instead of camping in the forest.

Murphy's Syndrome

A (mostly eradicated) disease where an adult-oriented film/franchise is heavily reworked for children, or at least for a family-friendly audience due to its toyetic potential. Murphy's Syndrome was most prevalent from the 70s to the 90s, with specific examples including Rambo, The Toxic Avenger, The Mask, and Alien. It's a syndrome because nobody fucking knows why some stuffed shirts thought such a practice would be a good idea.

The name derives from the real name of RoboCop, Alex Murphy, one of the most well-known victims of the disease, having two shitty cartoons, a bland live-action show that only lasted one season, and two PG-13 rated films that nobody likes.
My cousin Chris grew up with RoboCop: Alpha Commando, not realizing that it was the result of Murphy's Syndrome.
