100 Things I've learnt from SPARTAN


This thread is on many other movie boards (The HEAT one is one of my favourites) and seeing as I really like this movie, I thought I'd try it on SPARTAN..

So with out further ado, I have learnt...

You shouldn't teach people to knife fight...you should teach them to kill. that way, when you come across someone who has been trained to knife fight, you can send em all to hell.

If you're going to snipe someone (for no reason) choose a boat on the ocean because it provides an exceptionally stable platform from which to shoot.

Also, if you're going to stage a fake robbery to release two convicts, be sure to use real live ammo so the person crucial to the investigation gets injured, neccessitating a stop at the drugstore where the whole thing comes undone.

(See a similar thread for the movie "Shooter", it's hilarious too...

reply

You say this like it is an impossible thing.

For recent proof I offer up the Navy Seal Sniping of Pirates.

The SEALS, who were on a moving boat, shot and killed several Somalian Pirates- who were also on a moving boat.

No, it is not an easy skill, but an extremely well trained Sniper could do it.

Also, you don't want to go to the desert.

LOL!! Yes, no one wants to go to the desert.

Did it occur to you that the agent was KILLED, instead of the agent (Steven Culp's character) taking his own life. Remember - William Macy's character was in the know of what was REALLY going to. The agent was on post because he was with the President, while the President was on his tryst. If they really got the agent to spill the beans, the whole ruse was over.

reply

If the president has his daughter kidnapped and I have to rescue her, I do not get to come home.
