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...
To set this (points to brain) to receive
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.
I learned that 50-year-old Delta Force Assassins never screw hot young girls (when they take their tops off and beg them) in cheap hotels rooms, with nothing else to do.
I also learned to periodically unscrew my cellphone to look for bulky 1950's style listening devices.
Never put a long-term listening device inside a folding knife of a professional knife-fighter, (especially before they go on a mission) since they might open it once in a while.
The presidents Daughter is very sweaty all the time
Val Kilmer only likes to use hand guns
Val Kilmer just came in because the TV was on. Why is the tv on if no one is here?
For a girl who doesn't really want to be found, she sure left a lot of clues to where she was all the time
The secret service woman wasn't the presidents daughters birth mother but she was the one who raised her.
Kilmer killed a lot of people in this movie
Val Kilmer will do anything to get the girl back
When in the army and trying to become an assasin like Val Kilmer the final test will be to put you and another guy in a room and you fight each other to see who wins. The winner gets to hang with Val and learn all his stuff
Val Kilmer knows how to get information out of people
Don't smoke American cigarettes anywhere near a desert.
Al Bundys decision to quit being a shoe salesman really worked out well for him.
If a Presidents daughter is stressed and trying to leave a room, punch her HARD in the stomach. This will not only pacify her, but make her want to reveal her tits.
If you are on the run from the US Government, the first thing to do is always grow a beard and move to London.
Swedish pilots will allow extra passengers on board as they are taking off on the word of blonde Swedish news reporters. They feel no need to switch the engine off amid gunfire or see for themselves who their new passenger is.
Female Russian brothel mangers are entitled to "sh!t".
When you are in charge of finishing up a covert operation and find yourself in a public, unsecured area like a hangar at an international airport, you should make sure to shout incriminating evidence as loud as you can so it echoes off the walls of the building. Make sure to loudly call your rescued victim an ungrateful little whore and outline the president's complicity in illegal operations.
When gunfire is echoing around a hangar at your airport, no attempt should be made to delay a private jet from leaving the scene in an obvious hurry.
When a jet pilot sees gunfire aimed at his craft and hears bullets striking metal, he will assume all systems are fine and will immediately climb out on takeoff. There is no need to check airworthiness.
But mostly I learned never to join Val Kilmer on a clandestine operation. He may survive, but you certainly won't.
tbeller, that Secret Service thing was what jumped out at me...made very little sense that that agent would be on one assignment for so long with not rotation or anything...and I found that actress really unconvincing to boot...
-I learned that rudimentary planning before going into a gunfight that could get you killed should be disparaged as "gossip".
- I learned that I need to claim some sort of cryptic sign as my trademark so that I can leave a trail if I am ever kidnapped.
Trust Secret Service agents. They are telling the truth even if they act very unconvincing.
When politicians are savages and wolves, there is no "they". Some soldier with everything to lose and nothing to gain is "they".
If you meet a very experienced operative with no visible individuality except the fancy custom sights on his 1911, do not smirk at him and ask him if he's still carrying that, because maybe he can use it, and you'll feel really silly if you're the one he shoots.
