Things I Learned From Watching 'Marked For Death'...


1) You can leave a trail of destruction across several blocks of the downtown area of a major American city, trade rounds of ammo amongst crowds of civilians for several minutes, and completely demolish an entire department store without attracting any police presence whatsoever.

2) One shouldn't hesitate to drive at high speeds on crowded sidewalks or fire high powered weapons into crowds of innocent bystanders when chasing low-level drug dealers.

3) After utterly destroying several city blocks in a reckless high speed chase and gunfight the most appropriate way to punish the suspects you just nabbed is to break their arms but not take any of them into custody. Then casually walk away from the scene as if inflicting widespread carnage on a department store is just standard DEA protocol.

4) When trying to protect your community from drug traffickers it's important to do things like drive your SUV through a playground in broad daylight with guns blazing.

5) The quickest way to bring down a multi-national drug cartel is to arrogantly pull your vehicle up in front of some nickel bag drug dealers. When they ask if you if you want any 'blow' tell them you want to 'blow' their heads off.

6) DEA agents have to go through fat, alcoholic civilians to obtain their firearms.

7) It's important to do things like needlessly make your own bullets and silencers from scratch instead of just looking in the yellow pages and buying them from one of what are probably dozens of liscensed weapons dealers in the Chicago area.

8) When trying to bring down a powerful drug cartel its necessary to bring some random Jamaican street cop along with you.

9) It's common for people in third world villages to have scantilly clad photos of the girlfriends of drug kingpins stashed away in their wallets.

10) "There aren't many men" like Steven Segal "out there"

11) It's common for street vendors to know the home address' of the leaders of multi-million dollar cocaine empires.

12) When out-maned and out-gunned the best way to infiltrate the compound of a drug kingpin backed by a sizeable militia is to do something inconspicuous like randomly firebombing his living room.

13) Night vision goggles make you invisible and allow you to walk through a reasonably well lit room filled with people (half of which are heavily armed) without detection.

14) Steven Segal's high level of "chi" enables him to produce fits of seductive dancing in extremely attractive women shortly after making eye contact with them.

15) When attempting to convince mid-level drug traffickers to give up the business or die showing them the head of their former employer isn't convincing enough of evidence to make them stop. You must also convince them that your "magic" is more powerful than theirs.

16) The disfigurement of human limbs is such a pleasant site that it warrants being made the focus of an entire hollywood film.

17) Jamaicans always have to ritually sacrafice something before they kill someone.

18) You can pick up a human being and snap him in two over your knee.

19) The dude in the end got it rough. Eyes gouged out and his spine broken only to be thrown off a building and of course impaled on something sharp at the end of the fall. Seriously, what was that all about?

20) It's good to vigorously squint and then mumble your only decent one-liner in the film.

1 its very simple, to bring assault rifels and thousands of rounds of ammo through customs and onto an airplane for the purposes of waging war on drug dealers in jamaica. decapitated heads in duffel bags are quite easy as well.


2 jimmy fingers is a made man


3 steven seagal is the only guy that can get his face dragged across broken bottles and not bleed.

4 john hatcher is an empty shell inside

5 voodoo curses don't work on john hatcher because he is too much of a badass.

6 seagal's favourite colour is black

7 only seagal can look cool wearing such ridicoulous sunglasses

8 if your a cop without a uniform you can do whatever you want, and so can your friend even though he's not a cop

9 after the posss killed the guard and broke into jonh's sisters place, they also had a enough time to make an intricate carving on the living room table.


10 when not selling drugs the posse also do contstruction work on the side

11 john hatcher is invincible

- Apparently, it's not considered a bad move for a notorious drug cartel to send its Jamaican henchmen to a predominatly-white suburban high school in the middle of the afternoon to push nickel crack in the parking lot. You'd think someone like Screwface would be selling a little higher up the chain.

- It is okay for a movie to push offensively innacurate portraits of Jamaicans as long as they open the third act by going to Jamaica and making one of the leads have some kind of revelation about them.

- Somehow Charles, the Jamaican cop (Thom Wright) managed to drive his hippy van from Chicago to Jamaica.

LMAO. I wondered the same thing. Why on earth would powerful drug dealers be dealing to high school kids?

John Hatcher likes cats.

Hatcher slept with informants "to catch bad guys", that dirty manwhore.

If you shoot a man on a second story balcony, rather than falling straight down on the walkway, he'll toss himself over the rail every time.

"Shoot him again- his soul's still dancing!"

Screwface has a natty dress sense and favours bright woolly jumpers.

"No man yet found drinks his tea blacker"

Also if Hatcher had retired from the DEA he interfered on Screwface's business on a personal level. That's why Screwface put a hit on him.
