100 things learned from Ecks vs Sever


100.The title alone tells us this movie is gonna be a pile of sh*t.
99.Apparently United States Federal Agencies have jurisdiction in Canada.
98. The actors knew full well what illogical bullsh*t they would be saying in this movie, yet when it comes down to it, money is more important than art and damaging their acting careers.
97.I can't watch Lucy Liu anymore without thinking how terrible she was in that horrible Charlie's Angels crap and this.
96.Even one of the worst movies of all time can have people vote it higher than 1 out of 10.

That's all I could get in the first five minutes before I turned it off.

95. It's OK to fight against tactical teams. You don't need Kevlar. They don't shoot straight anyway.
94. If you want to fight a female nemesis and you tap in the police frequency hearing about a female perpetrator, it's OBVIOUSLY the one you are looking for beyond the shadow of a doubt (reference to Banderas' stupid remark of "It's her" at the plaza shootout)
93. Cheesy dialogues mean you're hot and are a professional agent.
92. It is fully logical to drop an almost fully-loaded shotgun and use a simple handgun if you are one of the main characters.
91. Make a statement by smoking every 10 minutes. You don't really need to have phrases longer than 4 words.

Come on people. Populate the countdown :)

90. You can only learn 10 things from the worst movie ever made. Though I guess mine makes 11...

Was today really necessary?

89. If your wife supposedly gets blown up in an explosion, just leave immediatley. Don't bother having a funeral or even checking for a body.

That's all I can remember from this movie. I AM NOT watching it again, however, just to post to this board. lol

88. There are now guns that shoot backwards.

87. Everyone in Canada drives cars from the early 1990's.

86. A Jeep Cherokee has the acceleration and handling to keep up with a motorcycle.

85. If you're a kid behind bars you still get jello.

84. When pursuing dangerous highly trained special agents in a train yard its best to run straight at them between boxcars with no cover.

83. You can get a cut on the face but not actually bleed from it.

That actually might be true. I can't say for sure.

82: If you're a federal agent, it's ok to just walk around in public with an assult rifle & point it 'wherever'.

81) If you're driving a car and it gets shot, and you crash into another vehicle AND the other vehicle plus your car explodes (with you in it), don't worry, because since you're a hot chick and one of the main characters, you'll walk away without so much as a scratch.

80) Since both of you guys have been done an injustice and are now working together, you can both kill as many agents / henchmen as you want to, then when it's all over you can just leave and things will just go back to norman on their own.

(I have to admit: I liked the movie despite all of these 'flaws'; seen it 3 times already.)

79) Even though your wife has been getting pounded by your nemesis, when you meet 7 years later, everything is ok (and the boss has lots of henchmen around, and cameras...I'm just saying!).

78) super-assassins should ALWAYS do things in the most obvious way possible, instead of trying to be secret.

77) when a hot asian super-assassin saves your life...have sex quickly because you'll probably meet your dead wife soon.

76) If your DIA/CIA/XYZ boss orders you to shoot yourself, use YOUR gun to cap his ass. I suggest tossing his booby-trapped gun at his face to create a diversion, while you unholster your weapon and let the lead fly.

75) When equipping in the hot asian's armory, don't select the biggest gun because she'll think you have the smallest tool. Or will she?

74) Never have a guy with an accent as your 2nd in command...they are useless.

73) The bad guys always run out of ammo at the same time.

72) Attack bad guys when they are reloading. (see 73)

71) When your partner is a hot asian assassin, ALWAYS take time out during final battle to "have a moment".

70) Cop a feel if you can. (see 71)

69) When the enemy is running away, and you were knocked on your feet in the last explosion, wait until enemy is out of view to get up. Don't get caught looking at her butt.

68) When the ish is hitting the fan, and your boss tells you to "make sure he(the enemy) is dead"...toss a frag grenade. That's what they are there for.

67) Everyone knows you can execute code at the login prompt of the DIA/CIA/XYZ system, over a wireless connection no less, to gain access to the most restricted parts of the system.

66) Unless you are boss or have accent, you should wear balaclava and goggles, even when storming dark areas where no one knows, or cares, who you are.

65) The best way to get revenge is not to shoot someone, but to give them a H2h beat-down.

64) If you have accent, you'll probably win in a melee fight, UNLESS you are fighting a hot asian assassin. In this case, DO NOT throw away your weapon. (see 65)

63) At the end of the movie, if the cut on your face is smaller that the cut on the hot asian assassin, you ARE a wussy. Road rash on other side of your face doesn't count, because you just suck riding motorcycles you wussy.

62. If a female super-agent/assassin goes rogue, it's always because someone killed her kid. That's because women, even sexy Asian dangerous women, are really just glorified baby-caddies concerned only with having babies and raising babies and not seeing their babies killed on satellite feeds.

61. Sure, your male super-agent/assassin can be moved to action by his wife's (highly suspicious) murder, or her sudden return from the grave, but you'd better throw some proper old-fashioned betrayal in there so he doesn't seem pussywhipped.

reply

60. It's okay for an FBI agent and a DIA agent, people who work for American government agencies, to kill people and blow up cars in Vancouver, a Canadian city.
