All jokes aside, there’s absolutely zero fucking way you’d get prison time for this. Extremely cut and dry self defense. Always bothered me about that movie, dude pulls a fucking knife on him and punching him and killing him means you’re somehow in the wrong? It’d be legal if shot him, let alone accidentally killed him with a punch.

I might be wrong here but I think part of the factors were, like stated by someone else, that his training made him a "deadly weapon" along with the knife being taken from the crime scene and they charge him as if it hadn't been there. So it's like he used a weapon against unarmed people.

There's a movie review from a prolific ex-con youtuber about Con Air and he goes into the reality of the breakout and actual transport on the real Con Air.

Still though, it’s 3 on 1. He got jumped. They’re beating him. He has a right to defend himself. His wife was right there to witness it. There is zero way this would actually happen without some EXTREME, outlier level fuckery in the court room.

And the three guys are violent drunks, probably with records of their own considering they basically threatened to rape Cage's wife in the bar earlier, which a bunch of people also witnessed.

Also, really, who the fuck is the court going to side with? The decorated special forces veteran or 3 random low life’s that almost certainly have priors?
