Dex dies, no one cares

I just think it is funny how in the AN series, a lot of people die and they never take time to even give it 2 seconds of reflection. I'm not bashing the movie at all, I seriously think it is funny. Jackson walks in at the end, theres a dead Chan and Dex is dead in the previous hallway and he says to Sean "Can we go home now, no more ninjas" ROFL! No, "Man, they got Dex and nin-jette?! I hope they pay!". Just 2 fingaz like a playa and bounce, good stuff

That is a funny observation.

I just simply laughed because he was a useless character that couldn't fight worth a damn, lol

I was happy as hell when they finally killed him off, his character was useless, the actor that played him sucked & his fighting really sucked.

His fashion get-up was very nerve wrecking *shudders* just wth was he wearing? The costume designer should be shot point blank range for such a crappy selection, lol!

lol, they could´ve at least "masked" the fact that the actor knew fk-all about fighting or martial arts or better still, why didn´t they hire a martial artist with a bit of acting skill? My goodness, the "fights" Dex are in are pitiful, the director tried to make us believe that dude could take out and subdue ninjas. The fights in the slum alleyways where the guy just knocks out a ninja with that shuddering almost slo-mo front kick is appalling, so yeah it didn´t really matter if he got killed in the end, nor did it seem to bother the rest of the cast.

It was sad he died.

It was kinda sad when he died, but everyone in this thread is right, for an action movie: he was a skinny little dude, dressed like a dork, and looked bad in every fight scene. The actor seemed to have a "potentially likable" personality though, he just shouldn't be in a movie fighting highly trained ninjas.

Didn't Sean tell Dex that if he loses control of himself that Dex has to kill him? What the *beep* was Dex gonna do if that actually happened? Choke him with that scarf he was wearing earlier in the movie?
