Stewart Lee Hates This Film

+1

Yeah, he's got a real hard on for this flick, don't ask me why? Its right wing all-right but at a time when you felt kind of ashamed to be British it was some welcome escapism and if it wound up the left...Bonus points all round.

Lefty *beep* stopped being funny when he ditched Herring and the Curious Orange.

Lee hates this film because it's funnier than he'll ever be.

Everyone has to have a least favorite movie I guess. If I were any kind of version of the UK left wing at the time it came out, I'd have been pretty insulted.

Then again I'm having a hard time imagining who wouldn't be, LOL. If ever there were a film that would let us all reach together across the aisle, as brothers, to complain about how stupid the filmmakers seem to think we are, this would be the one.

I'm glad this film has the power to get up his nose.

Typical leftie who probably hates anything that glorifies the British Military.



Was it a millionaire who said "Imagine no possessions"?

Brilliant! He IS a leftist twit!

It's a genuine shame that this otherwise pretty decent film has been so maligned by blatantly left-leaning critics over the years who simply denounce it for the audacity of portraying a bunch of middle-class, far left nutters as villains, nay terrorists! Heaven forbid.

Indeed, inspired by the Iranian embassy siege the film's producers must've thought they'd shrewdly dodged any potential controversy by switching the S.A.S's adversaries from swarthy brown-skinned foreigners to pasty privileged Trots!

Ah, if only they knew. 
