Mr Deveraux
Ok let's see what this guy accomplished ...
1) Ran away from his squad in Vietnam leaving Nick to fend for himself
2) Left his wife and son for a bar-waitress in Reno
3) Lost all his money gambling
4) Made up for his gambling losses by making designer drugs (under duress of course)
5) His actions led to the deaths of two crooked police officers, not to mention a whole host of bad guys, and his girlfriend's friend
but it's ok because he made up for everything by throwing a couple of Molotov cocktails at some bad guys.
If he hadn't done all of this, we wouldn't have got a kick-ass movie!
Awesome!!!!!
