100 Things we learned from The Jackal *SPOILERS!*


1. Burying an axe in the back of someone's head would result in the victim bleeding from the mouth.

2. It's okay for an efficient, professional assassin to be sloppy and make mistakes on his final assignment. It'll be "all right" in the end.

3. It's also okay for an assassin who was super-cool and cold-blooded all throughout the movie to go all psychotic in the end. Characterization is not important when the role is nearing its end.

4. Being shot in the liver results in blood that is nearly black.

5. Shady gunmakers are boorish, greedy grease-balls who deserve to have their arms shot off and then killed by their clients.

6. An efficient and professional assassin apparently has an extremely quick-acting poison that they'd prefer to spray on the handle of a disguised car rather than say use it on their target.

8. Wearing a police vest will not protect you from bullets. (Seriously, The Jackal is wearing a vest and yet dies from chest wounds?)

9. Declan can protect his women.

10. Doug knows how to wave a final good-bye.

11. The Jackal does everyone a favor by killing Jack Black's character.

...who doesn't always follow his boss's specific instructions.

13 If you want to sneak into the USA buy a fancy yacht in Canada, sail across a great lake and join a yachting regatta near Chicago. No one seems to mind if you're not an entrant. Just keep waving at and saluting people.

14 Trains will keep running in the Washington sub - way system, despite men jumping in front of moving trains and running along the railway tracks. Train drivers understand commuters need to be on time.
