Gee, guess all those criticisms about Arab villains have gone away


This movie could be made today and no one would bat an eyelid. A screwball action comedy for the age of Isis...

Actually there are fewer movies about Islamic terrorism after 9-11!

London Has Fallen has Pakistani bad guys but they're arms dealers not Muslim jihadis which would be more realistic. The only fictional movies that do involve Islamic terrorism like The Kingdom involve some liberal moralizing.

The majority of recent movies with Muslim terrorists as bad guys are all based on true stories like American Sniper, 13 Hours, Lone Survivor, United 93, Zero Dark Thirty, and Black Hawk Down. American Sniper is a true story and liberals are offended by it and think its racist though its all based on real events.
