It also had a few moments when i was yelling at the screen!
I yelled "Chuck Norris!" at the screen many times. He responded by dispatching terrorists like UPS dispatches parcels - regularly, and with reasonable efficiency.
Like when Chuck's outside his hut with a chainsaw, the bad guys turn up, and he puts the chainsaw down! He should have killed them all with the chainsaw! It would have been awesome!
Awesome, but it would've required an amazingly indefinite suspension of factual accuracy - taking the film far beyond any even remotely believable stage. 8 guys with machine guns and chainsaws, on airboats, in the water... compared to Chuck Norris with a chainsaw, on land. I don't think I need to explain much more.
would have! Heck, even Jean Claude would have! argh it makes me soooo angry.... thinking about it right now.
Thinking didn't seem to be particularly high on a list of achievements for you, I would've thought, judging by your previous comment.
Please help me... i can't enjoy a movie if the violence isn't completely there... like SWAT!
Comparing Invasion U.S.A. with SWAT is like comparing having a million dollars to being beaten up. One is almost all good, the other is not. And what do you mean there was no violence? There was 146 on-screen deaths, rocket launchers, tanks, explosives, grenade launchers, automatic rifles, uzis, pistols, throwing knives, mounted machine guns, people thrown out windows, multiple people shot in the testicular region, kicks, punches, grenades, exploding cars, exploding trucks, exploding sandbags, exploding people! The list of action events cannot be summarised on a message board. It requires a university-level 20,000 word essay.
What the F was that! No blood... what's the point in an action movie without blood!
There was blood, it's just there were a lot more bullets.
Who gave this movie an 18 certificate anyway! If it says 18 on the case i want 18 rated action... I'd let my kids watch this movie (when i get kids)...
As you should. That's good parenting to raise them on Chuck Norris. Although it's only MA 15+ where I'm from.
argh the rage inside me, you could bottle it...
Relieve your anger with a good showing of Invasion U.S.A.
In conclusion, average film, could'a been better
Better? How do you top it?
Chuck Norris? Check.
Body count of more than triple the average action film? Check.
Tanks? Check.
Evil Russian bad guy? Check.
Explosives? Check.
One-liners? Check.
The only things that make a movie great that were missing were zombies and ninjas.

Not enough, and no. Although, he could roundhouse kick Sharon Stone's legs from one crossed-over position to the other...
