Blasting It Out of Their Hands: Athos shoots the sword Milady was holding (as she was about to kill an unconscious D'Artagnan) out of her hand with a flintlock pistol.Bittersweet Ending: Milady's Evil Plan is thwarted, she's dead and so is Rochefort, but so is D'Artagnan's Love Interest Constance Bonacieux.

Badass in Distress: D'Artagnan is outnumbered and kidnapped by the Cardinal's guards.

And the Adventure Continues: The musketeers are last seen leaving Paris with their regiment, accompanying the king at the siege of La Rochelle.

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Milady screams and denies wanting to kill Buckingham and D'Artagnan when she's at the mercy of Athos, who eventually kills her for her crimes.

Richelieu's actions are driven by said war, and he wages it to serve the king's and kingdom's interests above all. He is at war with the Protestants of the port city of La Rochelle, besieging them, and the message of the Duke of Buckingham to the Queen could well be about English reinforcements to help La Rochelle.

In Part I, the Cardinal of Richelieu enforced an edict that outlaws duels, because they tend to reduce the number of French nobles.

Milady does the same with a message of the Cardinal in Part II.

Constance Bonacieux hides a handkerchief with the initials of the Duke of Buckingham in her cleavage in order to deliver it to the Queen in Part I.

Truer to the Text: This film duology is one of the most faithful (if still a bit compressed) adaptations of the novel, certainly more than many film preceeding it.

Those who won't show up at the call to arms will be executed.

In Part II, D'Artagnan and the Musketeers have only a short amount of time to free Constance and chase Milady as their regiment is about to leave Paris to accompany King Louis XIII at the siege of La Rochelle.

If she doesn't get them back in time, her infidelity will be proven and the French Crown will be weakened.

In Part I, D'Artagnan must bring the Queen's diamonds back to her so she can wear them at the great Echevins Ball the King throws.
