Marked For Death
I took a trip down memory lane and watched what is arguably the “most accurate portrayal of Jamaican language in an American film” at the very start of the 90′s – The Rastas are the drug-dealing bad guys, Steven Seagal is out to break some bones as “White Boy Hatcher”.

The movie also arguably has the most creepiest of all bad guys, a man with 2 head and 4 eyes: Screwface…who likes to get really close to people, invading personal space and doing Obeah.

The film’s soundtrack is pretty good, with “Harder They Come” star Jimmy Cliff singing the main theme “John Crow” – A Jamaican slang word for Vulture.

I’m trying to get the hook out of my head but I’m here posting it…lol. Enjoy!
