100 Things I Learned from DEATH SENTENCE


1) If you have your throat slashed open with a machete, you will able to talk and will not bleed to death for at least an hour.

2) If your son has had his throat cut, and you are the only person around, by all means stand there and scream for help instead of calling an ambulance.

3) If you are apprehended by the police after being struck by a car while fleeing the scene of a double homicide, you will put in a police line up because they can't be sure you were involved.

4) You can follow the gang that killed your son from the courthouse all they way back to their apartment, and they will never notice you are directly behind them.

5) No one will suspect a man in a suit, waiting in a luxury car for hours in the bad side of town.

6) The police will not investigate the murder of a street criminal just released the day before for murder. They will certainly not suspect the father.

7) If you want to teach your criminal son a lesson, sell a *beep* load of guns to the man who's trying to kill him -- but don't tell him where to find him, because you love him.

8) When storming a criminal hideout, it is best to do so through the front door carrying a shotgun with two rounds in it.

9) When you escape from the hospital, the police will be unable to track down a man who is on foot and wearing a hospital gown.

10) They will also not be looking for your car, so feel free to drive it during your quest for revenge.

11) Finally, they won't even show up at your house until after you've safely stumbled home.

12) Female cops are unusually sympathetic.

13) If you get shot in the leg, you can stand on it long enough to kill empty a full clip on two men, walk over to a bench, and sit down.

14) If you are shot in the neck, you will not bleed to death until you stumble home and watch some home movies.

When getting ready to make a single-handed assault on a violent criminal gang in their "office", it's rude to just drop by. Avoid painful social embarrassment by phoning ahead first so that they know you're coming.

* Not knowing anything about firearms, walk into a shed read gun manuals and shave your head will make you an expert marksman.

I'm watching this for the first time and this film is rediculous. effigyc is exactly right and his list is hilarious!!!

reply

yes! reading this thread is definitely more enjoyable than watching the film.
although you'll still need to watch the movie first so you can relate to the threads :D

This thread is 100X more entertaining than the flick. Excellent work, Folks. :)

>A 50 year old scrawny man can outwrestle and stab a 23 year old 6’2 guy.

>Slapping your forearm proves you’re not high.

>There will always be a busboy who will, at the perfect time, open a kitchen door for you to escape through.

>Boxes are slippery *beep*

>Someone will always call you after you’ve just ran for your life.

>Slow mo sequences always make you look more bad ass.

>Facial hair is intimidating.

>Red tint makes everything seem more evil.

>If you kill a mother’s son you’re an animal but if your husband kills someone else’s son it’s forgivable.

>Everyone has a leather jacket to leave behind for family members to wear.

>Family means everything until it inconveniences you in which it means nothing.

>Pep talks are always appropriate on a church pew after a shootout.

>Always ask the man your seeking revenge on if he’s ready to die. It’s polite.

I'm not going to try to figure out what number is next, sorry.

- Having a concealed weapon permit is the difference between a 5 minute self-defense PSA and a 2 hour revenge film.

- When an entire armed gang is chasing you, run into a narrow alley, opposed to something silly like staying on a crowded city street.

- After miraculously avoiding being shot by said gang members, the best place to hide is a parking garage, especially the roof. And be sure to make lots of noise so they know exactly where you are.

- When you are beating someone with a (hockey stick?), it's best to drop it and go hands on in a car. I mean, it's only a fight, why make it easier than it has to be?

- Attacking an armed person, without a weapon yourself is tactically sound.

- Attacking an armed person, without a weapon yourself is tactically sound...it worked last time didn't it?

- Watching your son be killed just isn't enough justification to buy a gun to protect yourself. No, it's best to wait until after the rest of your family has been shot to do buy a gun.

- When gang violence has left a teenager, a woman, and two Officers dead, another teen and a man badly injured, it's not the police's problem. You're the one who started it. Regardless of the overwhelming amount of evidence.

- When you do finally decide it's time to buy a gun, seek one of the dealers the people you're trying to kill use. Surely they won't know each other, and definitely won't warn them.

- While planning to finish the mess caused by your numerous rash decisions, empty your bank account to buy only $5k worth of guns. You and hospitalized son, don't need all that cash. Especially if you make him an orphan when you go up against a gang at their hideout.

- Simply reading the manual, can turn someone who's never held a gun into a highly proficient gunfighter.

* make a foot chase between the main character and the gang so lame that FX will interrupt it to go to commercial... and then return to the middle of the chase...

* being a rich businessman gets you a random parking space on the roof of a parking structure blocks from where you work...

* after your gang members kill the police officers outside, be sure to silently break into the house so quickly the blood is still spurting from the cop's neck...

* if this movie was truly entertaining we would not be here surfing while watching the movie...

when you shave your entire head and leave a few sprigs at the crown, you do not look like Romper Stomper or Taxi Driver but instead like a rooster. mohawks are meant for the top of the head, not the back.

when your car flashes the "you need gas, fool" light this does not mean your car will stop working at any moment, you do not stop immediately at the nearest and shabbiest station on the wrong side of town, especially after two cars just *beep* with you on the highway near said station..

if you are a gangster/hustler/gun dealer and your son is some sort of gangster who has killed before, do not continue to stand in front of him and curse at him about what a piece of crap he is, he will eventually shoot you through the eyeball.

John Goodman's accent rocked, when he remembered to do it.

* Walking in the rain with a bandage on your head in slow motion with Really Heavy Thunky Music playing prepares you for REVENGE.

* When the gang members come to your house to abduct you and your parents, it's best to yell, "HELP MOM!" instead of "HELP DAD!" because Dad started this whole business in the first place.

* After you have just run at breakneck speed for 45 minutes straight, gotten into a huge fight with a thug and destroyed a few cars, get real upset about your cut lip because you just can't have A CUT LIP OMG!

* When you need to, you will know Spanish.

* Funeral directors WAY overcharge and their price can be made reasonable with some threats.

* John Goodman needs a bra. A very serious bra.

* When perusing a makeshift gun store, saying "What about that one?" will alert the seller to exactly which gun you mean (even if his back is to the wall of guns)

* John Goodman sweats so much he needs a GIANT ASS FAN to cool him off.

* You can do anything except ask John Goodman where Billy is, because then he will kill you.

* A red bandana to cover your cut looks more badass than a lame gauze bandage.

* Gangsters have really nice white teeth.

- If you notice a sinister dark muscle car driving in a sinister way WITH THE LIGHTS OFF (in a sinister manner), just flash your lights at them and make rude gestures through the window at them ... It could have saved all that hassle at the petrol station!

this thread is soo funny, but u will have to check out the 1000 things u learned from "Taken" it is hilarious

reply

yep. the violence is nice. but the plot holes... PMSL!!!
if i were Billy, i'll smash my elbow in Nick's face when he pulled out his last gun. if i were Nick and it was Billy who had the last gun? likewise.
then again, let's rewind just a bit... Billy sitting down to tease Nick?? not even grabbing him? LMFAO!!
this director is a pretentious p**** and should confine himself to zombie movies; that way we get the violence but don't have to suffer the plot holes.

999. no matter how well off you are, you should not even think of sending your family away on a 6 month vacation as to save their lives while you settle the score.

X. When walking down the street, for no reason whatsoever, just randomly spin around with your briefcase and, who knows, you might just hit the gun arm of someone with the intent to kill you. I watched this scene a couple of times and not once does he appear to know he's being followed.

Ruthless gangbangers are still responsible enough to take out the trash.
