(1) Mel is good. Sometimes a little mentally disturbed. But good. See Braveheart, Lethal Weapons, The Patriot, Ransom, etc.
(2) Something bad happens to Mel, i.e., his wife/girlfriend gets killed or son gets kidnapped, etc. It's usually family related.
(3) Mel goes completely insane. Or he goes MORE insane (insaner).
(4) Mel kills everyone who has wronged him. And them some.
(5) All is good in Melville. Except for Braveheart, where his body parts were placed on spikes. Minor disembowelment. Fortunately, Scotland is free.

This was the irony of Mel's Hamlet: he was born to play the part. Every movie he's ever made is really just Hamlet, when the basic plot points are boiled down. Yet it sucked.
