Title: Killing pool-playing henchmen?
Post by: Kooshmeister on November 27, 2008, 08:48:15 PM
There was this one movie I saw years back, all I really remember from it is a scene where some of the villain's minions are shooting pool and the good guy(s?) fights them in the billiard room and kills them all and the final guy, who is bearded and has glasses, falls in a weird way after being killed (falls backwards with his knees bent and legs folded under him).

I used to think this was Commando (I remembered the "killers disguised as garbage men" scene and thought the two films were one and the same) but then I actually saw Commando. As for what else I remember, um...there was a Jeep in one scene and I think maybe someone falls on a glass table and breaks it.

Sounds like Code of Silence.  If I'm right, the "bearded man" is Chuck Norris, and, needless to say, he was not killed.

Been a while since I've seen it, but how about "Boondock Saints?"

If the scene involves pool cues being broken in half and then used as martial-arts weapons, it seems to me that I've seen that sort of thing done by both Bruce Lee and Steven Seagal. But it might be so common as to be cliche.

No, this was well before Boondock Saints. Looked like either 80's or very early 90's.

Seagal may have been in it, but I distinctly recall it was more in vein of an 80's punch-'em-up with fistfighting than martial arts. I think pool cues may have been used to kill some of the henchmen, or used by then against the hero, but my memory is vague.
