Action movies - drug dealers

[Kastman]

I hate how in so many action/cop movies they are always going to take down some big drug racket that usually has a big shipment coming in soon.

ANyone agree?

Well, yeah, it's the basic plot most action movies use and it can get pretty boring at times. But whaddya want...Hollywood action's been out of ideas for a while now. :D

drug dealers doing karate...example:DMX in the movie he did with stevan segal.

what the hell big time drug dealer has time to study martial arts??

Like, in any martial arts movie (or programme, I guess) where the hero(ine) uses martial arts skills to whack the baddies, it's strange that every single bad guy they run into ALSO knows karate/kung fu/whatever. I mean, every single vampire that Buffy has slain looked like he spent seven years working at those kicks. Why do the common street-thugs form these movies/shows feel the need to learn karate, instead of picking up a 2x4/spanner?

I also like how all the drug people are pure evil and murderous. The people I've known who formerly worked for drug lords just basically considered it a more dangerou and higher paying form of a day job - they wouldn't of killed anyone, or even knocked someone unconcious for it.

Honestly, is a low level transporter going to fight to the death over a few grams or what have you?

Depends on where you're at and exactly "who" you're dealing with. I know a petty drug dealer or transporter that used to walk around campus (not enrolled in school or anything) who would kill or fight to the death for less than a few grams. Some people are grimier than you may think.

A touch of originallity would be the drug dealers be beaten and the hero snorting a line. Ever wanted to see a cracked out Superman? I know I have

I want to see superman on shrooms. He'd probably end up killing dozens if he got a bad trip.
