      This movie, and "Cradle 2 tha grave" are the two that I can VIVIDLY remember the trailers for, and have always been meaning to get around to watching as an adult lol

    It turns out the GBA game, based on an early version of the script, actually explains both the pills scene *and* "Why is FBI dude using Ecks over literally any current FBI agent?" There Ecks turned to drugs after the "death" of his wife and son (already born in that version, and their survival is so tacked on it could have just been cut entirely), and since his official retirement the FBI dude has regularly been using him as a deniable, expendable agent in exchange for supporting his habit. This also in turn explains why an FBI agent is getting involved in spy plots in the first place.
    Why were these cut from the movie? Don't know! GBA plot still isn't *good* ("You killed a bunch of innocent law enforcement, but the bad guy was behind everything so you're free to go!") but it can be understood as a series of events. The movie version doesn't even have that.

    I attended Comic Con in San Diego back in 2002 and remember watching the panel discussion of this movie. It was just Lucy Liu and Ray Park on stage trying to hype a film that seemed very uninteresting even to them. Banderas had "other commitments." At least Lucy was nice to look at, but I wish Talisa Soto had been there. After it was done, I recall looking at my brother next to me and we both just shrugged our shoulders. A year later I learned what a disaster this was when I watched it on cable. Shockingly bad. Great vid Mark.

    Okay the blowing up the car part is actually the only part that DOES make sense.

That's an unreasonable contingency to plan for, but at least Gant is thorough, i guess...

    Fun fact: This boring-ass movie had not one, but two video game tie-ins. The first (Ecks Vs. Sever) was a first-person shooter for the Gameboy Advance and it garnered good reviews. It was based on an early draft of the script and due to the film's pre-production hang-ups, the game came out before the movie. The second game, Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever, came out after the film's release and followed closer to the film's plot. It got decidedly less-positive reviews.

    That roof top fight scene feels like it's mostly the rehearsal that got filmed, then Producers said to cut it, so they never finished shooting, so when Producers said to add it in after a screening they just took what they could out of the rehearsal footage where several blows clearly miss by a foot and used weird slo-mo and stares to fill out the time.

    Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever was simply gun pun in the aftermath of the success of The Matrix. I haven’t seen so much gun play since The Matrix and even The Wild Bunch.
    Despite that, this film has Antonio Banderas, Lucy Liu and Talisa Soto(her scene at the aquarium with her touching the glass in an attempt to connect with a Beluga whale was beautiful, in my humble opinion. A beautiful woman and a beautiful mammal).
    Lucy Liu’s Sever was very unique. She was very much like an Angel of Death, silent, deadly, devoid of emotion. The shopping mall shootout is also interesting because in scenes where either the good guy or the bad guy is firing a powerful weapon like an M-60 machine gun, the operator grits and bares his teeth. Sever has her lips pursed, unaffected by the recoil and inflicting a lot of damage.
