Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)

Go To

  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Nervous but Silk Hiding Steel Alex The Shrink (despite some minor Billing Displacement) and Anna The Lad-ette prisoner who claims to be Wrongfully Accused are among the less important members of the crew of survivors but both make memorable impressions and have fans who mourn how both die, right after each other and well before the final battle.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Marion Bishop is an arrested crime lord forced to stay overnight at Precinct 13 due to poor weather conditions stopping the prison transport where the crooked Captain Marcus Duvall plans to kill him before he can testify in court. In a shaky alliance with hero Sergeant Jake Roenick, Bishop proceeds to improvise and adapt against the dozens of intruders. Devising a plan to kill a traitorous officer when caught, Bishop also holds out under torture from Duvall, allowing Jake to kill Duvall, then escapes as dawn breaks.
