With vintage WWII fighters???

It seems fairly reasonable to assume this was a very pointed warning to keep the lower tier of oligarchs in line. Especially given Zelensky says Abramovich was talking about moving money to Ukraine. What in tarnation? Only just just kinda poison people?

IiRC the bad guy in 3 is killed by a very large bell flung into the air due to an explosion and the bell happens to land on him. I might be misremembering a little because it was a long time ago and I was crazy sick with fever dreams that week. But I do remember the bell

But I do remember the bell I think that was a mere henchman, here's how the foremost nazi bought it quote:Chappy and Horikoshi pursue the cargo aircraft. After sustaining heavy damage, Horikoshi's Mitsubishi Zero does a kamikaze run that destroys the cargo aircraft, killing himself and Simms. Kleiss arrives at the scene with a prototype Messerschmitt 263, shooting down Leichmann's aircraft. Chappy, however, outsmarts Kleiss with an inverted roll aided by booster rockets before destroying the prototype jet. Kleiss ejects from his jet and lands in the jungle, where he attempts to bribe Anna into taking the jeep behind her, only to be impaled by a spring-loaded Punji stick trap.

zoux posted:Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos could ingratiate themselves to the whole world for a fraction of their massive fortunes Yeah, that's why I don't get the idiots who think they actually *care* about any aspect of "everyday life." Teslas are toys for the upper middle class and above that are purchased as social obligations because "it's weird if you don't have one if you're of a certain social strata" and ownership of one gives you  power to dismiss all other wasteful aspects of your life. "Sure, we own five houses and constantly travel internationally, but *we own a Tesla*, so..."As for Bezos, he's no longer in charge of Amazon anymore (  ), so don't look to him to use their massive logistics backbone for the betterment of society that needs it most - be sure to set your preferred charity on AmazonSmile then use the affiliate link!Eason the Fifth posted:

How much flying is there in [i]Iron Eagle 4? I wouldn’t think you could do much on a DTV budget before CGI was relatively cheap. Unless DOD footed a bunch of the bill?

They sure fly a lot of T-6s. It was also filmed in Canuckistan. The plot is also definitely NOT something the DoD would support. Remember that the first two were made in Israel. They reuse a lot of footage from the first and second movies. It's really, *really* bad. Like, "did you really need the money, Chappie" bad.

Tangentially related: I do historical fencing and am in the process of getting into historical armored combat as a part of it. A lot of the equipment for armored combat gets made in Russia or Ukraine, and I had an order from a Ukrainian smith get stuck in limbo at the start of the invasion. I figured if I was lucky it would spend the conflict in their storage shed and get shipped out when Ukraine was accessible to international transport, and if I was unlucky their storage shed would get hit by a bomb and that'd be that for me. It entered the postal service in Kyiv today, which is just blowing my mind. I cannot imagine what kind of dedication someone has to have to be doing this kind of business in the middle of an active warzone. (And just to be clear - I am absolutely not complaining that my supplier being invaded caused me moderate personal inconvenience. I am marveling at the perseverance of the Ukrainian people.)
