Walk down the right back alley in Sin City, and you can find anything. Marv : You can scream now if you want. Marv : [voiceover] Goldie's dead. I've been framed for murder. The cops are in on it.
Cop : [knocks on door] Open up! Marv : I'll be right out. Marv : [Door is blown off its hinges, taking several cops with it].
Marv : You crazy god-damn broad! Just take a look at this mug. Would any of you dames let me get close enough to you to kill you? None of you would, but Goldie But she only did because she thought I could protect her. And I bet those cops didn't do a damn thing about those other girls, did they? But as soon as they had me for a fall guy they showed up, guns blazing. But they didn't get me and I've been killing my way to the truth ever since. So go ahead, doll, shoot me now, or get the hell out of my way.
Marv : [Narrating] I've been having so much fun I forgot to take my medicine. Marv : I've been framed for murder and the cops are in on it. But the real enemy, the son of a bitch who killed the angel lying next to me, he's out there somewhere, out of sight, the big missing piece that'll give me the how and the why and a face and a name and a soul to send screaming into hell.
Marv : What if I'm wrong? I've got a condition. I get confused sometimes. What if I've imagined all this? What if I've finally turned into what they've always said I would turn into? A maniac. A psycho killer. Marv : [Narrating, watching Kevin go downstairs] Heading down for a midnight snack Wendy : Kill em' for me Marv.
Kill 'em good. Marv : I won't let you down, Goldie. Marv : I try to slow my heart down and breathe the fire out of my lungs. Marv : [shows up at Lucille's apartment heavily bandaged] It's okay, Lucille.
I was just grazed. Marv : Lucille's my parole officer. She's a dyke, but God knows why. With that body of hers she could have any man she wants. She's a dyke but God knows why. With that body of her she can have any man she wants. He will only kill someone if, as Marv himself puts it, "I know for sure I ought to", making it a point to avoid unnecessarily hurting or killing those who have not earned it in his eyes.
A perfect example of this was when he knocks out Wendy rather than let her watch him dismember Kevin, since he believed Wendy witnessing Kevin's dismemberment would cause her a lifetime of nightmares, and would therefore be unnecessarily hurting her. He also adheres unrelentingly to his own personal code of honor, which dictates the repayment of debts and chivalry towards women, stating that "it really gets my goat when guys rough up dames,".
He also highly values kindness, often going out of his way to repay kindness shown to him. Marv is shown to have a platonic relationship with Nancy, being a sort of guardian angel to her, especially after an incident in which "some Frat boyfriend of hers roughed her up". And another platonic relationship with his social worker, Lucille, who is a lesbian. Both Nancy and Lucille clearly adore Marv and do what they can to help him.
He also has a soft spot for children, suggested when he rescues a little girl from pimps in Silent Night, as well as for animals, as shown when he knocks out, rather than kills, Kevin's wolf, which he only does as a matter of necessity to maintain the element of surprise, since Kevin's wolf had otherwise done nothing wrong to him.
Throughout the story, Marv often shows a good-natured, humorous side, unresentful of even the worst fate throws at him and often showing a wry sense of humor at the absurdity of his situations. Marv was ranked as the 24th greatest comic book character in Wizard magazine.
Empire magazine also ranked Marv as the 26th greatest comic book character of all time stating that Marv is a Frank Millar Grade A patsy, the fall guy, the hapless hero at the center of a conspiracy that he can't even begin to understand but with a traditional Miller tweak; Empire described Marv as a force of nature, cutting a path through the corrupt power-brokers of the city, until his pound of flesh and more has been exacted.
Also In , Empire Magazine also selected Marv as the 82nd greatest film characters stating that he ain't too bright, but it turns out that Marv, despite his seemingly indestructible if bandage-swathed exterior, has a soft center. IGN also listed Marv as the 75th greatest comic book hero of all time stating that Sin City is a place where only the strong and sadistic can survive. After making a commotion Wendy come by and knocks him out, intending to kill him for the murder of her sister.
Gail tied him up and Wendy wailed on him with the butt of a pistol until Marv tells them he knows who killed Goldie and he's out to kill him. After a show of faith Wendy believes him and goes along with him to The Farm with a kit of supplies: surgical tubing, razor wire, special gloves, handcuffs, and a can of gasoline. Marv covers the woods with razor wire, then tosses the flaming gas-can into the house to get Kevin's attention.
They fight, Kevin's supernatural agility giving him the advantage until he gets close enough for Marv to cuff him to himself, where Marv knocks him out with one punch. Wendy then shows up with a gun, telling Marv to let her finish it. Marv knocks her out, feeling bad about it but says what he's going to do to Kevin will give her nightmares. He then proceeds to saw off Kevin's arms and legs, using the surgical tubing as tourniquets. Then Kevin's pet wolf, having caught the smell of blood in the air, ate him alive.
Marv sawed off his head to take with him but was unsatisfied with the kill seeing as Kevin didn't scream during the whole proceedings. After dropping Wendy off at Nancy's place Marv went to Roark's where he killed his way through the guards. When he got to Roark, he presented Kevin's head, to which Roark showed great sorrow. He waxed nostalgic about how he took the boy in, about his fascination with his cannibalism, and how he eventually joined in.
He also mentioned how Goldie had gotten suspicious when the girls started disappearing from Old Town and got scared when she found out how high it went. So Roark had her killed and that was that. He then asked Marv whether killing an old defenseless man would give him satisfaction. Marv famously replied "The killing, no.
Everything up to the killing. Well that'll be a gas. They didn't kill him though, they gave him surgery to fix him up for the trial. They tried to get him to confess to the killing of Roark, the prostitutes, and Goldie but no matter how much they beat him up he didn't confess.
Then they threatened to kill his mother. He broke the lawyer's arm in three places and signed the confession. The night before his execution he got one last surprise. Wendy visited his cell to thank him for getting her revenge.
He got confused and called her Goldie to which she replied 'you can call me Goldie if you like'. She spent the night with him, giving Marv one last glorious day on earth. They put him in the electric chair and electrocuted him. It took two consecutive charges to finally put down the legend of Sin City. Rourke took to the role despite the heavy amount of make-up work required and the minimal use of sets and even other actors.
Because of the speed at which the film was shot and the fact that most of the cast who appeared in multiple stories hadn't yet been cast , several of the people Rourke is seen interacting with weren't necessarily there during the day it was shot.
During the scenes at Kadie's, he never met or interacted with Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen or Jessica Alba, all of whom were yet to be cast or scheduled for filming; those scenes were all shot on different days several months later. Hauer was one of the last people to be cast and his scene was shot months after The Hard Goodbye had finished principal photography. Wood and Rourke were shot fighting each other's respective stunt doubles. The latter also comes in black and white and a gun, while the other, known as "Death Row Marv", comes with an electric chair.
Death Row Marv was comparably rare to most other action figures on the market, as it was offered exclusively to comic book specialty stores and was not made available to larger chains such as Toys R Us and Walmart. Despite the fact that this was a collectible marketed solely towards adults, it caused a considerable amount of controversy. In , Marv was announced to be in the second series of Marvel Toys Legendary comic book heroes action figure line. Shortly afterward, another company, Dynamic Forces announced a full series of Sin City comic figures, which will start with a repaint of the Marvel Toys Marv figure.
Marv has been well received both as a comic book character and a film character. Marv was ranked as the 24th greatest comic book character in Wizard magazine. Empire magazine also ranked Marv as the 26th greatest comic book character of all time stating that Marv is a Frank Millar Grade A patsy, the fall guy, the hapless hero at the center of a conspiracy that he can't even begin to understand but with a traditional Miller tweak; Empire described Marv as a force of nature, cutting a path through the corrupt power-brokers of the city, until his pound of flesh and more has been exacted.
However he always trusted his instinctual "cold thing", a feeling like a snowball in his stomach, something above his perception that told him that something was wrong for example, he felt it when he approached the Roark Farm.
He was homophobic in the past because he Once he suggested Lucille to get a treatment to "cure" her lesbianism, but she punched him. However given his chivalric nature he clearly seems to have obviously clearly likely overcome his homophobia. Marv later made a name for himself on the streets by just doing what he did best: killing. A good guy at heart, he never had a problem beating in a few faces if they needed it. He made friends in low places this way and more than a couple enemies.
Kadie of Kadie's Saloon gave him free beers whenever he needed them after he beat up some men who threatened her. He was also known to Kadie's patrons as Nancy Callahan 's guardian angel after some guy tried to get fresh with her and he took care of him; allowing the petite dancer complete and utter safety when she danced. She also helped him out when he needed it [1] showing they had an understanding between them.
Once he got himself rounded up and Lucille helped him as his parole officer. Having no form of employment Marv still managed to get around. He went most places on foot, and stole the rest from other thugs. He also had a keen appreciation of trenchcoats, which he would take off his victims usually commenting 'That's one damn fine coat your wearing! He even asked one hitman, Stan, to remove the coat so he wouldn't bleed on it before interrogating him. Similar to the way Dwight McCarthy complained about blood getting on the upholstery of a car he was stealing from some hitmen in [2].
In a cold winter night in Sin City with snow replacing its iconic rain Marv goes to a back alley sleaze joint, under the cover of being an ugly pervert wanting to partake in the ugly pleasures offered in this particular sleaze joint: pre-teen girls.
After getting inside he killed the roomful of bodyguards and the owner, rescuing the girl speaking the only line of dialog in the whole piece "Your momma's been asking after you Kimberly.
Let's get you home. On the night John Hartigan met back up with Nancy , Marv found himself on a highway overlooking The Projects , surrounded by dead young guys, unable to remember how he got there. He lights one of the dead guys' cigarettes and thinks back; since it is Saturday, he deduces he must have been at Kadie's watching Nancy dance.
Marv was rather depressed after seeing Nancy leave with Hartigan, as he'd always had an unrequited crush on her, so Josie gives him a bottle to drown his sorrow with. He gets drunk and steps outside, only to find some preppy college kids trying to burn drunks and winos to death. After one shoots him calling him "Bernini-boy" he immediately kills one of them and chases the rest to The Projects, where along the way he destroys a police patrol car and hijacks another vehicle.
The boys are heading for Sacred Oaks but Marv stops them. At the Projects , it is clear that they are being watched, but Marv uses hand signals to identify himself and instruct his former neighbors to attack the kids, and they do so by firing arrows at them and providing Marv with a knife.
After questioning the last surviving kid about him being called 'Bernini boy': it was the name of the brand of coat he was wearing; he then slits his throat. This done, he muses, "And one fine coat it is. Somebody must've spent a fortune on it.
I wonder who? He later would reference this event during his conversation with Lucille [3]. Dwight met him in Club Pecos where he had a date with Ava Lord. As her time was over, Manute came to take her back to the mansion of Damien Lord , and Marv offered Dwight his help to put the guy out, to which Dwight denied. As Ava left, Marv commented that she is "a Dame to kill for". After told by Ava that her husband tortures him, Dwight sought out Marv to help him take down Lord; he met him at Kadie's as Marv and Josie are in the middle of a squabble with some out-of-town punks.
One of them pulls a gun on Marv, who knocks him flat. Dwight convinces Marv to help him storm Damien's estate. They drink together and watch Nancy Callahan dance.
