1000 Learned from Face/Off


1) The best time to cut hair is during a face transplant

2) If your son dies, get another one. The same as when your goldfish dies.

3)...

3) Archer's top secret anti-terrorism unit is so top secret he has to remind his top secret team how top secret they are. Apparently on a daily basis.

4) An FBI head honcho will be under investigation for a raid that ended in a bloodbath, but won't be for a botched "off the books" mission that saw a terrorist mastermind freed, LA almost destroyed, and resulted in many deaths.

5) When you're trying to locate a WMD in your city, and will be going undercover to do so, don't evacuate your family. Just make up some psychology crap.

6) Archer doesn't know what a fight with the Missus is.

7) Jamie is sorry she shot her dad. She doesn't seem too sorry that shooting her dad got maybe a dozen people killed.

8) If an international terrorist is being hospitalized in your clinic don't worry about having to put on an extra security, in fact you don't even have to handcuff him to the bed, he'll be OK and nothing can possibly go wrong.

9) The super villain will disable his bomb that could kill millions, only to because he wants to feel like a hero all of a sudden.

10) No one will question how a cop who has no background knowledge in bomb defusal will be able to deactivate a bomb in a matter of seconds that the bomb squad said would take hours.

11) When a criminal wakes from a coma without his face and learns that an undercover agent has assumed his identity via high-tech surgery, he will somehow know that only three other people have knowledge of it. Once they're dead he's free to take over the agent's life, because it's not like the rest of the FBI team or the agent's wife would know.

11b) The rest of the medical staff who assisted in the surgery will suddenly forget all about it.

12) Not only do people die at every location Archer visits, but even his first date ended with his girlfriend needing emergency treatment. Archer is a bigger jinx than Jessica Fletcher and John McClane combined.

13) When you're in disguise to secretly plant a bomb, act totally out of character to your disguise. It won't raise any suspicion.

14) It's very easy to enter the FBI building, you don't need to identify yourself in a fingerprint scanner or anything. If the secretary at the front desk recognizes you you are free to go in.

15) When your sniper shot fails to kill your target, don't bother taking a second shot. Just leave them wanting revenge.

16a) If you haven't seen your brother for a few days and his behaviour seems a bit off, it's entirely possible he might not be who you think he is.

16b) To test him ask a personal question that only you, your brother, and someone who has studied you both for years would know the answer to.

16c) When your undercover disguise has tricked a terrorist into giving up vital information, smugly blow your cover. It's unlikely someone who was testing you moments earlier could be lying.

17) No father could forgive the murder of a child. Neither could a brother. Or a sister. Fortunately all the other murder victims throughout the movie were apparently single orphans with no siblings.

18) Archer is an indestructible agent with a Plain-Jane-but-could-be-hot-if-she-wanted-to-be wife and a rebellious teenage daughter. Did someone say True Lies?

19) If Castor has killed Jamie when he had her hostage, it would have been a miserable ending and Hollywood hates sad endings. A killing spree is much happier.

20) Things will get awkward when his adopted son grows up to look like his son's killer.

reply

21) A kick to the nuts hurts more than stabbing yourself in the face.

22) Speedboats are the most explosive substance known to man.

reply

23) You don't have to worry about massive infection after having your face removed as long as you have a bottle of groovy pain killers close by.

A person with O negative blood type can accept a person's face who has blood type AB.
