The Old Guard	comment	The Old Guard is a 2020 Netflix/Skydance action-adventure film directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, based on the comic of the same name by writer Greg Rucka (who wrote the screenplay and produced) and artist Leandro Fernandez. It stars Charlize Theron as Andromache of Scythia (she goes by "Andy"), a mercenary who has lived for millennia, along with her younger comrades-in-arms: two veterans of the First Crusade, Joe (Marwan Kenzari) and Nicky (Luca Marinelli), and the baby of the bunch, Booker (Matthias Schoenarts), a French soldier who fought for Napoleon.Turns out, living in the modern era is a challenge none of the four envisioned, and staying hidden is becoming increasingly difficult as records become more comprehensive and social media becomes omnipresent. Tired from nearly endless fighting, Andy reluctantly agrees to do a second job for a former contact (Chiwetel Ejiofor), intending to take some time off afterward. But things are not what they seem, and the old warrior has to deal with unexpected fallout, as well as the awakening of a new immortal (KiKi Layne), the first in nearly two hundred years.On June 30, 2021, Charlize Theron confirmed in an interview that a sequel was in development.

The Old Guard / int_10134c97	type	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety
The Old Guard / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License – Gun Safety: The team has horrible trigger discipline, routinely leaving their fingers on the trigger at all times contrary to safety guidelines. However, given the team's ages — Andy is literally twice as old as gunpowder — and the fact that they are all immortals with fast healing for whom an accidental gunshot is just a brief, if nasty, inconvenience they never learned proper gun safety. Nile, having been trained in the 21st century, is the only exception.

None of the other immortals have children, but it's not addressed if they can't, if they choose not to, or if it's just a side effect of the majority of them (Joe, Nicky, Andy, and Quynh) being in same-sex couples for most of their lives.

All of the immortals possess agelessness and Resurrective Immortality - with a twist: after an indeterminate period of time, they will lose their immortality and die permanently... and given their violent lifestyles, they rarely get any advance warning.

He could just be lying to the clerk, or it could be an indication that he truly thinks of the other immortals as his family.

Even her "real" name, Andromache the Scythian, reflects this. She was already thousands of years old by the time the Scythians entered the historical record in the 8th century BC. The Scythian era is just the furthest back she can remember, and apparently when she met Quynh. In the comics, it's stated that Andy is 6,732 years old. In behind the scenes materials for the movie, they just said that Andy estimates that she's around "six to seven thousand" years old - updating it because realistically, it would have been difficult for Andy to keep track of her exact age before formal record-keeping in the pre-historic era.

Just witness the "Killing Room" scene, where you have such gems as Andy firing a pistol with the barrel pressed directly against several mercs body armor (thus ensuring the round has enough energy to penetrate anything short of a steel or ceramic-reinforced vest), then when she finally runs out of bullets, hitting one of the men in the face with it. Joe kills one merc with his shotgun, then instead of wasting time working the slide to chamber another round, draws his scimitar and starts carving them up leaving Nicky openings to shoot them.

The twenty-first century, however, has led to an increase in the ubiquity of modern surveillance systems and record-keeping, not to mention smartphones. Andy at one point offers to take a photo of a group of vacationers so she can delete the picture one of them just took which had her in the background. On the plus side, it takes the immortals about thirty seconds to piece together who Nile is and where she has awakened from their vision just by how much they know of current geo-politics and cultures when they previously needed years to find each other.

The Old Guard / int_51a485d1	comment	Brought Down to Badass: Each immortal knows that at one point or another, it will simply "switch off" and they'll die like anyone else. When Andy keeps bleeding from a stab wound, she realises her time has come. They've still got centuries of combat experience, though, honed reflexes and coordination that give them stunning speed and power and an intuitive grasp of how to immediately neutralize any threat before them. As Booker says, Andy has "forgotten more ways to kill than entire armies will ever learn". Andy takes point in the final fight, and at one point manages to deflect a bullet with an axe.

The Old Guard / int_52488c54	comment	Drowning My Sorrows: Implied. Booker deeply regrets his betrayal of the team and dreads his century-long exile. Before he's left alone, he has an emotional goodbye with Andy knowing that he will never see her again because she's no longer immortal. In his next scene, six months later, he stumbles home drunk and upset, giving the impression that he has spent the whole time drinking to numb his guilt, loneliness, and grief. Andy is shown taking a lengthy drink straight from a vodka bottle, showing her disillusioned character at that stage in the movie. Averted with Quynh, who is introduced pouring herself a glass of water. Given that she spent a large part of her life drowning, it's an interesting choice.

Marines are the only branch of the U.S. armed forces who don't have their own field medics, instead relying on the Navy's hospital corpsmen, so this is a common mistake. Not necessarily. Yes, it is true that the Marine Corps does not have its own medical personnel, relying on Navy Corpsmen. However, Corpsmen do deploy with the Marines, and train with their Marine units as combat medics. It is not out of the realm of possibility that Nile's unit would have brought a combat medic with them, or have one that they could get to them/meet them at evac quickly. So, Dizzy yelling "Medic" is perfectly within the way that Marine units would work. Also, her yelling that would trigger others to pass the message that they need a medic to whoever have the communications equipment, if they hadn't brought a medic with them.

The Old Guard / int_a7850fbf	comment	Only Known by Their Nickname: The immortals only use their modern nicknames with very few exceptions. Andy introduces herself to Nile using her original name and Quynh screams it during her flashback, while Joe calls Nicky's original name in passing during one scene. Andy's real name is Andromache the Scythian.note Though Andy actually predates the Scythians by a couple thousand years Joe's real name is Yusuf Al-Kaysani.note "Joe" is a nickname for Joseph, the anglicized form of Yusuf. Nicky's real name is Nicolo di Genova. Booker's real name is Sebastien Lelivre.note "Le livre" being French for "the book"

Keane gets another moment of this when Nile shows up, and he realizes there's a fifth immortal nobody had counted on.
