1997?


Was this really made back then? 4 years before 9/11?

reply

Yes, during the Clinton Administration, there were many terrorist attacks, but Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky took precedence over the deaths of thousands of people. There were also bombings in the Marine Barracks in Lebanon, the USS Cole was bombed, and the WTC.

reply

Monica Lewinsky could not have taken precedence over the first WTC bombing. While this movie was made in 1997, the bombing took place on February 23, 1993, just over a month after Clinton took office. Not to defend him for any of the stupid things he did, but in all fairness it would be difficult at best to put the blame for this one on him. Now that said there was also one very interesting item of trivia about this movie. The last line of the movie was rather prophetic toward what happened on 9/11. In the line of the movie, Art Malik (the lead terrorist from the movie True Lies) is flying past the WTC in a helicopter and says, "Next time we'll take them both down." I only seen this movie once, but it was the first thing that I thought about as soon as I heard about what was happening on 9/11.

It was bizarre....did you realize that this movie played the saturday on HBO before Sept 11? and it was going to be played again (check your old tv guides) the following saturday, but obviously they cancelled it. Thats when I watched it, and I remember that helicopter scene when Ramzi Yousef said we'll get them both next time" or whatever. Very wierd

reply

Yes, this is what happened here too (in Romania). And another bizzare thing was that a day before 9/11 I saw an episode from the series 7 Days, where some terrorists controled the computer of some jet planes and made them crash on Pentagon.

reply

Well, obviously terrorists watch HBO.

reply

Yes, but it wouldbe more than fair to put 9/11 on Bill Clinton. The lack of communication was largely due to walls his staff put up and his anti-terrorist staff was on duty until I believe 6 weeks before 9/11. It took that long for the Bush'sstaff to get through confirmation. And Clition did let Osama go after it was known he was a bad guy.

The 1993 bombing actually happened on February 26th.

reply

Yeah but this is the bombing of 1993. So it was made 4 years after the 1993 bombing. They made this bombing seem soooo huge. It was in the basement of the WTC. It was done by trucks filld with bombs.

reply

scormell-1 I have the same thought you did. This movie was the 1st thing that popped in my mind when heard about the towers collapsing

reply

9/11 was an inside job. Prisonplanet.com

reply

You may not believe me, but this movie was broadcasted here in Bulgaria day or two before the attack. And the same thing happened on HBO and in Romania? Now that is weird!

I remember the guy in helicopter saying something like "The next time we will succeed". I found this ending curious and little disturbing. The movie was broadcasted once again in the night after the attacks and I didn't saw it since then. I even forgot the title. Today I remembered the movie and searched IMDb for the name of one of the terrorist and that is how I found it.

You are a liar and a freak. They ADMITTED doing it, you silly ass.

Here is another weird coincidence.

The band Dream Theater recorded a concert in NYC in 2000. The CD, and DVD had a picture of the New York skyline, including the WTC in flames. It was a derivation of their, "flaming heart" symbol from their second album. Instead of a heart it was a flaming apple (referencing the big apple).

The CD and DVD were both released on........ September 11, 2001.

They obviously had to pull both from the shelves for repackaging... but not before I got my copies.

Before September 11th 2001

That's the cover art for one of The Coup's CDs. It is also from before 9/11.

reply

I wish we still had the World Trade Center. It always makes me pissed off to see that they are gone. I took a business trip there for 3 weeks and I had so much fun. Now it is all lost memories. And not to mention the food... Windows on the World restaurant ruled!

*beep* terrorists.

reply

that is not good

reply

A similar thing in the super mario brothers movie (released in 1993 the year of the first attack)

at the end of the film, there's a scene of the twin towers dissolving. Osama Bin Ladens favourite video game was Mario Brothers and supposedly afganistan had a hand in making the film. Seriously go to the IMDB mario brothers board and read about the conspiracy theories and how most of the producers and writers refuse to answer such questions.

Good joke.

I don't believe in conspiracies, UFOs, magic, ghosts, horoscopes, ect...

Just I find the coincidence curious.

7/11 was a part time job
