** Also, several times during the final showdown with [[spoiler: Screwface #2]], Seagal himself is replaced with a much shorter double wearing a really bad wig. Interestingly, this only happens when Hatcher is on the losing end, which suggests that the sequence was initially filmed in the usual Seagal CurbStompBattle fashion, and tinkered with later (when Seagal wasn't around) to make it more of a back-and-forth affair.

'''''Marked for Death''''' is a 1990 action film with Creator/StevenSeagal in his third starring role.

Seagal plays DEA agent John Hatcher, who has just retired and returned to his home in UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} following a drug bust in UsefulNotes/{{Colombia}} in which his partner was killed. His experiences have left him disheartened; he believes that there is no way the drug flow could ever be stemmed. Alas, a confrontation breaks out between him and some goons of the Jamaican drug-dealing ring Jamaican Posse who are flooding the streets with drugs. The next day, some members of the gang including its leader, Screwface (Creator/BasilWallace), shoot Tracy (Creator/DanielleHarris), the daughter of John's sister Melissa (Elizabeth Gracen), in a drive-by shooting. Screwface then returns to Jamaica. John, alongside old friend Max (Creator/KeithDavid) and Jamaican cop Charles (Creator/TomWright), embarks on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge through Chicago and eventually Jamaica to take Screwface out.

Though not quite so famous as ''Film/AboveTheLaw'' or ''Film/HardToKill'', this film is one of Steven Seagal's better ones; a fine example of his brand of action and which showcases him at his limb-snapping, wisecracking best.
