The men in raincoats with shotguns

What on earth was that all about?

You suspect Banderas and his robotic chums are off to destroy the remnants of humanity and you send a couple of fatties, a 4 eyes and a 60 year old man to stop it?

Could they not have sent the lads from the wall with the sniper rifles or maybe some sort of army unit.

Raincoats in the desert as well, it's like something a media studies student would come up with.

Should have gone the whole hog and given them umbrella machine guns.

and the main guy of them was that silly guy from all the black adder shows

i agree...

i feel like since they were in bulgaria they just got the most ridiculous looking people they could find that spoke english

the head bad guy was the worst. he was actually really creepy in 'black death' though

not a sun burn in the bunch... wtf

UGH this was so idiotic to have these guys in the movie. The head raincoat guy is British and they had him use a fake american accent.

Those guys were terrible - they could barely move, used s shotgun like it was a sniper rifle and they were pointless. The head rain coat guy says what makes you betray your people, he was thereand knew Jack was being set up so whay make that speech unless its what the writer's first year film project told him to write.

This movie started with a bit of promise then just went down the toilet!

Keep in mind that this was supposed to be a quick and dirty operation. Kill Jacq and the androids along with any accomplices. I doubt the corporation thought they'd need a squad of people to do it. So they sent in the one main bad guy with just a few of his friends/crew to go take care of some *beep* on the quick.

From the outside this would have hardly needed anything more. Only reason it failed was because he had that truck. Had he not they all would have easily died and mission accomplished.

Speaking of the truck, was his plan to just run down his wife and child along with the bad guys?

Apparently so. It was only her thinking that got her out of the way, and that was only a fluke because the guy happened to have a knife handy. Stupid scene really.

Not to mention he didn't even hit anyone with the truck. They all just rolled their fat bodies out of the way at the last minute.

the raincoats were done for style, made the scene look like a spaghetti western

dont nitpick so much

[–] BaileySEA 10 years ago

The raincoats were because of the threat of the harmful rain

[–] distant-skies 10 years ago

I'm sure they sent a small army after those guys didn't come back.

Why can't you be a non-conformist like everyone else?
