Things you've learned from Deadfall

Really? No such thread for this movie? Ok, I'll start.

1. You don't need gloves in freezing temperatures, not even when you touch snow, your hands will be perfectly flexible and not numb.

2. If you are a sheriff, it is ok to make humiliating remarks about personal hygiene of your deputy daughter in a room full of male deputies.

3. If you verbally abuse your daughter, humiliate her to her face and treat her very badly (including shooting her in the back, lol), she'll think you are just expressing your love in your own special way and will still want to be around you.

4. If your hand was pinched with a kitchen knife to a table, the best way to release yourself is by pulling your hand and cutting it completely. And after that you can still use it in a fight.

5. If you are a murderer and a sociopath, you'll always have a warm place in your heart for children, you will even give them your money.

6. A panicking woman is no help to anyone.

8. My wife told me you were coming, but didn't tell me how to beat you in a fight.

9. Don't lock your doors, even when you know there's a killer on the loose in your area.

10. Snow mobiles can become a jet ski in a pinch.

11. An abused woman can sleep when a killer is in her home and not worry about her children.

12. I want to be a nurse.

Actually, I have the sad experience of living on a frozen tundra and therefor know that snowmobiles (or Sara Palin's snowmachines) can, in fact, skip water, for a while if at high enough speed. They (frozen tundra people) even have contests. Wish I HAD learned this from this movie instead of real life. GTS...google that &#*t for videos of said weird activity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I91gbRPFYmQ

I don't understand if the water is frozen, how can you skip through it?
How long did you have to live there? Do you miss it?

13. Patricia is the name of a "bad girl".

14. The character Jay is a minute-man.

15. Liza wasn't worried about getting pregnant.

16. When you break into a house and are holding the woman inside at gunpoint, when she offers to look at your wound, you won't watch her while she goes into a cabinet on the wall to make sure she's not going to pull out a weapon.

17. If you have indian blood you will experience mystical premonitions. And they will come true. And then you die.

18. don't joke about the name Addison. it's his father's name.

19. it's okay to beat the mess out of somebody with a bat, if that somebody is on parole

20. DO NOT use the dead cop's car to drive a little closer to the border, because you can't possibly ditch it later. It's better to trek for miles, in a whiteout, in unfamiliar territory, alone.

21. DO stop to enjoy thanksgiving dinner while you are the subject of a manhunt.

22. veteran cops come in the room guns blazin' shootin' dudes in the back, because that's protocol in a room full of innocent bystanders

23. "I'll put you in a fúcking coma!" is a great line to stop a fight from happening

24. If you decide to cast dried apple-doll face Kris Kristofferson in a lead roll, make sure and get close ups of his dried apple-doll face and eyes so squinty that you may perceive he is sleeping. Also make sure he uses the same emotion he used while talking to Babs 1976's A Star is Born.

25. If you're three feet in back of the killer and have a clear shot at the killer and the killer is holding a shotgun on your wife, you are commanded to think one of these two thoughts: "Even though he's already killed an officer, he'll let us go. He's nice inside!" OR "Even if I shoot him in the Medulla Oblongata with my .243 deer rifle and completely remove all his involuntary brain function, he'll still have enough function to close the synapse to tell his left index finger to pull with four pounds of pressure. Yeah. I'll just take my chances with this nice killer."

26. If you set up an officer with your deer skin jacket and seat her with her back to the door to look like you (just in case the cops burst in), always leave her bullet proof vest on. Hey, she may need it more than you do!

I think it was to show us Addison wasn't completely evil. That, along with his asking the Trooper to "forgive me" just before he blew his brains out. Crazy, yes. Evil, no.

I've learned that no matter what the movie is about somebody will feel compelled to start an idiotic "Things you've learned from" thread.......
