Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was named one of the most violent movies of 1990 by the National Coalition on TV Violence.
- GoofsWhen Screwface learns that Nesta and Jimmy Fingers are dead, he tilts the table where he was playing dominos, and one of the legs comes loose. He rips it out and uses it to hit one of his fellow Jamaicans. After his "I want Hatcher dead" speech, he throws the leg of the table to the ground (it can be heard), but in the next shot, the table has the leg again.
- Quotes
Max: Well?
John Hatcher: One thought he was invincible... the other thought he could fly.
Max: So?
John Hatcher: They were both wrong.
- Crazy creditsThe posse phenomenon is estimated to be a fraction of one percent of the Jamaican population and should not detract from their country or the contributions Jamaicans have made to this country.
- Alternate versionsPrior to 2013, all UK versions were cut for an 18 rating with edits to an eye gouging, a back break, a neck break and arm breaking scenes. The uncut version was passed with a 15 rating in 2013.

Featured review
Entertaining and enjoyable archetypical Seagal movie...
"Marked For Death" is your every-day-run-of-the-mill stereotypical Steven Seagal movie, through and through. For better or worse, then this movie is essentially the same as every other movie he has made.
Now don't get me wrong here, because I am not saying that "Marked For Death" is a bad movie. No, no, not at all. In fact, it is actually an enjoyable movie, and a very cheesy 1990s action flick that Seagal spewed out by the dozens.
I did enjoy returning to watch "Marked For Death" again here 2021. I don't think I've seen it since back in the day around 1990 or 1991. And truth be told, I had actually forgotten about the storyline completely. But then again, Seagal is always a former cop or obscure agency agent hellbent on revenge. So you quickly get familiar with the storyline here - as it was exactly the same as all his other movies.
"Marked For Death" is an archetypical early 1990s action movie, especially in the Steven Seagal collection. So if you enjoy the movies from that time, then you definitely will enjoy "Marked For Death" as well.
The movie does have an interesting cast assembly, that includes Steven Seagal of course. But also have the likes of Joanna Pacula, Basil Wallace, Bette Ford and Keith David on the cast list.
I am rating "Marked for Death" a six out of ten stars.
