1. Don't bring ...marbles to a gunfight.

2. Even a moron can escape from a Police station (and find 8 different ways to do it)

3. You don't need a calendar, you can count weeks by watching the moon.

4. No one uses VHS anymore.

5. As in all American movies, there is always a black man killed.

6. As in all American movies, there is always a crooked cop.

7. As in all American movies, Russians are always bad.

8. If you wanna do a superhero movie, don't do Defendor (Gross $37,606 (USA) (28 February 2010)) do Spider-man instead. (Gross $403,706,375 (USA) (18 August 2002)

9. Defendor could make a good video game.

10. Defendor died for nothing, there was an undercover police operation undergoing already.

11. Don't do drugs.

12. Don't quit school.

13. Don't s@ck di&s to buy drugs. (If you must s@ck di&s, do it to buy a typewriter)

Your 'list' seems more rude than funny, and a few things I wanted to comment on.

2. He didn't really 'escape' since the door to the interrogation room wasn't locked, he just had to open the door. And the Captain wasn't holding him for anything, so he was free to walk out.

3. The moon cycle is actual science, if you can see the moon clear enough, you can tell the time in a sense.

5/6/7. Just sounds ignorant, and the fact that you payed enough attention to their race/nationality is annoying. Oh, and he was Serbian.

8. Stupid comparisons to a licensed IP that's been around for 30(?) plus years compared to a low low budget 'Pretend' Superhero movie. I don't know offhand, but I assume Spiderman's budget was no where near 3 million.

10. Did you not pay attention? The cop was the black man who 'shot' Defendor with fake bullets, the Boss found out that fake bullets were used and said 'blah blah those are standard issue for cops' then drew faster than black undercover cop, and shot & killed him. Meanwhile, the balding cop who got his berries blown off was at the (undercover) van and shot those police technicians with a shotgun.
Eventually, the Captain blamed these deaths on Defendor for being in the way.

11. Yeah that makes sense actually.

12. It's never said that anyone quit school. Kat's character said a few years ago meaning her teacher told her that she's a good writer, but never that she dropped out.

13. Once again, Defendor never said how to get money.

I think that's the difference between someone who enjoyed the movie, and one who didn't.

That's of course your opinion.

2. He didn't really 'escape' since the door to the interrogation room wasn't locked, he just had to open the door. And the Captain wasn't holding him for anything, so he was free to walk out.

I quote from the script "There are at least eight ways to break out of this dump. I'm taking the front door."
You don't think that "Break-out" means "Escape"? Weird!

3. The moon cycle is actual science, if you can see the moon clear enough, you can tell the time in a sense.

???! In the script says "The cargo's left Odessa. It'll arrive in three weeks."
It doesn't say exactly the day (it is obviously an approximation) neither if it will arrive at night or day. So the "moon cycle" as you call it it can't be helpful in any way.

5/6/7. Just sounds ignorant, and the fact that you payed enough attention to their race/nationality is annoying. Oh, and he was Serbian.

There are many movies out there with black people saying JUST THAT in their movies. Here some reading for you tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlackDudeDiesFirst
You are plain ignorant.

8. Stupid comparisons to a licensed IP that's been around for 30(?) plus years compared to a low low budget 'Pretend' Superhero movie. I don't know offhand, but I assume Spiderman's budget was no where near 3 million.

Well ... I was ready to give you a list of some movies with a budget of less than ...100k that made millions, and had great artistic and commercial success with inspiring scripts, but...at this point I don't think you worth the trouble.

10. Did you not pay attention?

More than you, as I understand. If ...Defendor minded his own business, the black undercover cop he wouldn't expose himself and the operation would be a success.

12. It's never said that anyone quit school. Kat's character said a few years ago meaning her teacher told her that she's a good writer, but never that she dropped out.

In the script says "Mrs Shaw thought I was pretty good. But that was like, you know, four years ago." If you support the idea that she didn't quit the school, especially with her way of living, you are naive my friend. Anyway...

I think that's the difference between someone who enjoyed the movie, and one who didn't.

You obviously did, we get that. Go see it again.

Anyway this a "100 things I learned" thread, so if you haven't got anything to contribute PLEASE DON'T RESPOND.

He thought he had to break out, but the door was open. He really could just walk out, they let him go. And the marbles did help, a little.

[–] lars-wadefalk 14 years ago

Yeah, agree with your reply to that guy 'thefirstpbj''s comments, they were just dumb. He didn't have a sense of humor either, has he never read a 100 things list before?

44. Defendor movie attracts IMDB commentors that have never seen a '100 things I've learned...' list before.

21. There is always going to be an idiot who would come up with a "100 things I learned from...". Even for a movie that it's completed uncalled for...
You want to show us your wit, try that for something more appropriate like "Deception"...

31. one of the few movies that actually had me close to tears at the end. (loved it)

same for me. Very rare phenomenon.
If you want a movie that will get you even more emotional, search and watch Ben X.
It's an amazing film.

Have fun

I think the first poster did NOT like the movie, whereas the second poster did like the movie.

45. Dozens of wasps can fit in a very tiny glass jar.

46. Comic cartoons are still found in bubblegum wrappers.

47. Lime juice has many uses.

48. Defendor dresses like a coal miner.

49. Woody has been in 3 good movies recently, DEFENDOR, THE MESSENGER, ZOMBIELAND. I actually learned about the other two from IMDB.

50. Duct tape does wonders.

[–] Kipper34 14 years ago

51. On its own, a glass jar is supposed to do very little.

52. Defendor won't survive in prison.

53. You're not Defendor... I AM!

54. Defendor writes his own dialogue, but probably should consider a ghost writer.

55. Having Kat actually write Defendor some lines would've been a good source for some comedy.

-"Everybody get down! No one follows us, or I kill myself and then her!"

61. But you can always talk to his son. If you ever want to speak again, that is.
