Things you learned from watching Exterminator 2

What did you learn from watching Exterminator 2? Especially now that you can watch it in high definition, unlike the poor quality videos that we rented out in the mid eighties.

1) Some New York thugs are fireproof - they can stand right in front of a flamethrower and not get burned, but the two guys behind them are incinerated.

2) Flare guns can be used to shoot down helicopters

3) Watching the A-Team can give you some great ideas about how to modify your vehicle.

4) A group of thugs can figure out exactly which apartment someone they are after is living in, and recognize them by their silhouette, even though they've never seen them before.

5) If some guy swears at you whilst walking through the park, don't stand there and intimidate him, as there's a good chance he has backup.

6) If you've let slip some information about your gang to someone else, best to not turn your back on your gang leader.

7) If you run into a gang of thugs in the ladies toilets, and you have a boyfriend who is ex military and has fought in a war, best to run to him for help, rather than in the opposite direction and hope he will catch up.

8) Never undo a zip which has a dogtag necklace tangled in it.

9) Apparently it is possible to wear a welding mask in a dark warehouse, or down a dark alleyway and still see everything.

10) Some thugs hairstyles change drastically when they set foot in an elevator.

Just saw it. (funny this is a reply to a post only 4 days old)

11) Some bad guys are just so wasted that they need direction from other bad guys "shoot him darn you"

12) If you smash into a sports car in the front: it will explode both the trunk and the hood - simultaneously.

13) If you really, really want to be cool at the halloween party and every other bad guy in the history and future of cinema is taken - be X. Or just go as yourself.

14) Mario van Peebles made all the costumes for X - It's a mystery why he didn't get to do costumes for The Hungry Games or even Waterworld.

15) No one will ever notice 20 bozos running around Hoyt station in the dark - with torches.

16) All the trains in the subway conveniently go by the "Bad Guy Train Departure Schedule(R)"

17) When someone is maneuvering a big steel thing on a rail above you make sure you don't move out of it's way.

18) Always wear the same gasoline stinking military jacket when going on your daily business as when burning criminals with your flamethrower. - No one will notice.

19) A waste disposal truck is a perfect make-do rolling prison. Till it's not.

20) Handing over dope is best achieved by having your contact attract an audience doing a bad roller skate routine, while you give him extremely obvious nods and then in plain view drop a package where everyone will see it - forget the classic dead drop, this is the new way to go.

21) People in flames would never fall off a tree, just burn to death on a branch

22)Garbage collectors are always willing to take a break from their day jobs and fight violent heavy-armed thugs

23) Gand leaders never miss a workout when inside a service lift

24) You only know you've bought uncut heroin when the random girl you kidnap at a cinema passes out on the sofa

My question: did the kidnap victim OD or die from the heroin? I mean, this is a pretty cruel film, and that scene (among others) got to me a little (like the film though, but it IS cruel). I just wonder...
