Well, it takes the right sort of players, but you could make it clear that in this campaign it is a feature of the setting that villians are allowed to monologue and that shooting first just isn't an impulse for heroic characters. That can be enforced by simply not letting the PCs shoot first. If you don't have the right players, they'll throw a fit and not want to play in your game, though. If they REALLY want to shoot first, make them buy an Unusual Background: raised as a villian or something of the sort, but then they'll get negative Reputations, it might be an Odious Personal Habit, heroic NPCs might be trying to capture them for their own good (to have them mentally rehabilitated, etc.), and the like.

Does anyone have any other ideas about how to get players to follow these cinematic conventions despite their typical impulses to shoot first and often?
