Did anyone else notice the similar scene to The Dark Knight


The scene where Gary Oldman is threatening Harrison Ford's family. Only this time, its Gary Oldman's character threatening someone else.

I was thinking that it was similar. But then when he had his "henchman" aim a gun at their heads, asking which will it be, and taking his daughter, I thought it was really interesting how close they were and whether or not Gary Oldman was thinking that during The Dark Knight.


Did anyone else notice this?

YES! I assume you are talking about TDK scene with Harvey Dent?
When I was watching Air Force One I thought "Isn't this ironic? Its just like in TDK but the tables have turned."
Im sure it must have been going through his head during TDK filming. I mean the scene are like almost identical, theres no way he couldn't have thought of it.

Also, first post about TDK, Love it, haha.

Nobody cares about The Dark Knight.
Christian Bale ruined what could've been a good movie.

Yeah! I rewatched this on AMC last night and the same thought occurred to me.

Yeah I literally thought that when I rewatched it earlier.


Lose the Game!!!!!!!

I suppose you are referring to the scene where Harvey Dent/Two Face threatens Gordon's family. Yeah I agree with you 100%. I am pretty sure that Gary Oldman remembered his role in Air Force One when that scene was filmed. You are 100% right on that.

Yeah I actually thought that the first time I saw The Dark Knight, guess Oldman had it coming
