True Lies. It's very fitting for the Lincoln Project-worshipping shitlib crowd as far as their anti-Trump messaging is based on a clip from an exceptionally Islamophobic film (that wasn't even made post-9/11!).

True Lies is pretty racist in the same way as 24 or any number of anti-Islam action movie dealing with some amorphous international jihad group, but if you can ignore that, well... it's fuckin' buck wild and stupid and funny.

The voice work of just making cartoonish moans and whines throughout this scene is hilarious.

Under Siege 1 & 2, Speed, Executive Decision and that episode of the Simpsons where Sideshow Bob hijacks the blimp to make up an excellent 90s 'vehicles getting taken over by terrorists' marathon

Come to think of it how was there never an Arnie movie where the terrorists hijack the army's latest giant two storey tank that drives itself with computers and program it to drive into the white house

Segal made up stories about how he was an elite knife fighter in the super secret navy seals to get movie roles and consultant gigs. There was another guy like him who made up stories about winning the kumite, he went on the become a millionaire karate dojo baron. Just more stories that complete sum up the world of white people. I kinda miss the age of dipshit action movie heroes pretending they could really do the things in the movies.

True Lies is like Starship Troopers. The film is pro-other-side, but told from the POV of our side.

Crimson Jihad gets to make their mission statement and it is completely reasonable. They are tired of their families being bombed from afar by American cowards. They want all US military to leave the Persian Gulf area immediately and forever. Then they bomb an uninhabited island as a warning, as a gesture that they are willing to be humanitarians about the whole thing. Their goal is to get the US to stop, not to seek revenge.

But then the action heroes go and kill them anyway and win.

This is sheer speculation on my part but I wonder if the proliferation of MMA has made it harder for people to keep up those frauds. After all, if they're such super special badasses, why don't they just go and prove it? They're put in the unmarketable position to have to make up excuses for not doing so

Let us veer it into the reasonable realm of "most people who are too serious about anything are sex perverts".

MMA has absolutely been a crucible burning away bullshit self defense. There's some MMA guy, from Thailand I believe who's basically banned from China because he said tai chi was bullshit and proved it in the ring against a bunch of hyper nationalist masters.

You're probably thinking of Xu Xiaodong. He's chinese native but has gone to thailand for matches.
