1. The President walks through the White House in the same area where the tour is being given and stops to talk to one little girl and allows her to interview him about foreign policy and put it on her YouTube channel.
2. RPGs can take out M1A1 tanks.
3. Secret Service agents are incredibly bad at their jobs. They get shot real easily. Tater Channing is the only one who knows to take cover when gunfire is being directed at him.

sharePre-Teen Girls can stop the bombing of the White House while the Speaker of the House is evil.

Who is Tater Channing?
share4. When applying for the Secret Service, the primaryinterview is held at the White House.
5. Old Motorola pagers still work!
6. JFK actually did sneak Marilyn Monroe into the White House.
7. It's easy for disgruntled high ranking federal government officials to recruit a small army of weapons experts to take over the White House and wipe out dozens of similarly trained personnel, being contacted for that would never draw suspicion from anyone that hates the U.S. government.
8. The decision makers will wait forever to make the final final FINAL call on whether or not to bomb the White house.
9. A little girl waving a flag on the White House Lawn means the terrorists have been subdued. Right?
10. The fighter pilot on seeing a little girl will suddenly choose not to follow his orders and disobey the chain of command, and NOT bomb the White House because, well he suddenly grew a conscience and decided his judgment is better than that of his commanding officers.
11. They will bomb the white house using jets at close range, instead of an offshore submarine missile because Jets are so much better.
12. 4 snipers on the roof of the White House is enough to defend the white house from air attacks and scare the thousand or so millitary on the ground from attacking as well. I guess they never thought to have snipers ready to take them out when the choppers were arriving..
13. Who gets cell reception in the White House?
14. I guess its protocol just to sit and watch the commander in chief being chased by 2 SUV's shooting high powered machine guns at them and not do anything at all.
15. All high ranking members of the presidential chain of command are secretly closet terrorists.
16. Even the president has a junk drawer.

shareBoy I hate going thru so much trouble just to comment on a movie!!
Anyway...as for the previous comments...what is the matter with all of you? It is just a movie..it is not meant to be a true story or a documentary for heavens sake.
It is the second in a movie about this subject. The other was Gerard Butler's Olympus Has Fallen.
They are both fun movies..one is more serious than the other. I like both of them for these differences.
Actually I see many comments on this site about movies being silly for their incorrectness....and it has just been too much trouble for me to reply. But today I just had to put forth the effort to have my say.
Movies are to entertain you and if you happen to learn something fine...but don't put it down because it was unreal...they are usually unreal....they are movies for entertainment....DUH!!!!!
Thank you...just wanted to share how I usually feel about all the negative things said about the movies and the stars in them. I have been watching and enjoying movies since I was 5 years old...I just turned 72....and I admit to being a movie junkee. and It often helps me when I am going thru sad times or troublesome times.
And I am one of those that if I like a movie I can watch it several several times. And I often find somehting different each time I watch it to enjoy. I just ignore x rated and nudity/sexual ones..I already know how to have sex I don't need to be a voyeur to learn anythign about it...lol...it is actually quite boring and ruins the movie for me and often makes me think less of the actor perforning it. Sorry...JMO.

YOU can ignore nudity and X rated stuff but don't look down your nose at the rest of us. Porn makes more money than the "mainstream" movie industry so pooh-pooh it at your own risk. Go to CNDB and find out that there are millions of us who ONLY watch certain movies BECAUSE of the nude scenes, and in fact have MORE respect for the actors who do so---mainly because they run the risk of attracting the wrath of old codgers and anti-sex shamers like you.
And BTW you had NO reason to do so other than to exert your supposed moral superiority over the rest of us, and guess what? YOu failed, old man. We are picturing you as that hateful senile curmudegon who yells at kids to get off his lawn.
Are you ten years old?

wow! these are valid points! I totally agree LOL!
share
19 is actually true. The briefcase is on the president at all times and the deterrent must be available at all Times. a new president would get the codes immediately upon taking office
Good thing they have a box of launch-code handsets in the back room, pre-programmed and ready to be dished out within minutes to the next guy swearing the oath.
...and a pair of titties that make you wanna stand up and beg for buttermilk
As to 19, that usually happens right away. If the President dies, the VP gets sworn in right away or as soon as possible. Check out the real life VP's who had to take the President role.
shareNumber happened during Bush and Obama

share31. If you're the media (i.e. CNN, any news channel) make sure that you broadcast AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE the I.D. of a little girl that's You-tubing information about the in-house terrorists. I.D. her by name AND PHOTO so they'll know who to shoot when they get pissed off at seeing themselves on the news because of her.
shareThank you for all the chuckles. You guys are awesome!
shareMy husband said the same thing. He thought it was funny that the media gave her name out so freely and so quickly....
share32. White Houses passes are just plain pieces of paper with no photograph on them.

Didn't something similar happen during the Mumbai attacks - somebody called CNN from inside a hotel and they broadcast where in the hotel they were?
shareActually this is very possible. US news WOULD be this stupid.
shareI have to hand it to Donald Trump when he made that point. Same with Sanctorum as well during one of the debates. Why show all your cards on public television? The public should know who's going to be tough and how, but some things shouldn't be discussed for national security reasons.
shareYeah, but on the plus side she got 700 million YouTube hits as a result of that broadcast and she's now an internet sensation, so that makes everything okay.

46. It takes approximately 5 seconds to ready and launch a Javelin missile
47. Terrorists can take out 3 helicopters with 3 Javelins but need 3 for 1 limo
48. Swearing in the vice president as the new president doesn't require the current president to be dead.
49. Swearing in a new president is a routine job and really easy to decide.
50. Norad cannot stop their own missiles from being launched remotely
51. Appearently there is a case where you can simply type in targets you want nukes to land on like a video game.
52. Taking over the white house totally cripples the US government.
53. The president of the united states doesn't know what a Javelin missile is.
54. An missile launched at airforce one goes so fast they don't even notice it untill it hits them.
55. You can't just open a gate, you have to blast it open.

As to 48 and 49: They swore the VP in because they BELIEVED Sawyer died in that explosion. What did you want them to do-go in there to make sure? And the other one (49): There is a list of people who succeed the President if he dies or resigns. First is VP, then Speaker. They did that right.

63. Getting a bomb into the Capitol Building is easy if you're disguised as a janitor.
64. When a janitor suspiciously and conspicuously leaves his cleaning cart in the middle of one of the most security sensitive buildings in the world while walking away despite orders to return, the authorities will react by just standing right next to the suspicious item with dumbfounded looks on their faces right before it explodes.
65. Arabs must be behind all terrorist acts committed in DC.
66. Despite of the fact that they have just witnessed how easy it is to bring down the White House ( including 2 presidents), and with it, the control of the world's biggest arsenal of long range nuclear missiles, the world still agreed to the peace treaty of POTUS.
67. A low key war veteran/Capitol Police Agent can take down a team of highly trained ex delta force and ex CIA assassins.

share71. You can hit on the ex wife of the guy who saved your life and the whole world for that matter, as soon as he leaves the premises.71a. She is Rachelle Lefevre.

"I'm issuing a restraining order: Religion must stay 500 yards away from Science at all times!!"

99. A youtube sent on a cell phone is the only way to identify the bad guys.
100. The elevators work perfectly to bring the heavy weapons to the top because there was no way to cut the power.

102 Apparently ballistic missiles and SAMs are the same thing
shareWhat made you stop at 100?
I'll add...
101: How come if the Secret Service knew about the secret tunnels, no one tried to use them to rescue the President?
102: While we're at it, How is it not one agency even attempted to gain access to the White House?
103: If the White House is over taken and the President is held hostage, why is the computer network in the White House still allowed to function?
104: So if the White House is attacked and burning with the President held hostage inside, all the citizens of DC are allowed to be about 100 feet away wandering around.
I actually burst out laughing when his daughter ran out on the White House lawn waving the flag and the fighter pilots determined that was good enough to abort the mission. Truly a WTF moment in a terrible movie.
I have said it before that flag waving nonsense was so utterly contrived and ridiculous that I can almost assume the entire story was dreamed up after an argument between a cheer-leader and a flag waving competitor about which one was more useless, and the flag waving proponent was dared to dream up a set of circumstances in which THEIR art / sport could in fact save the world.
sharei threw up in my mouth a little when she waved the flag. why couldnt someone just use a phone like they had the whole movie and just say "its ok, call it off"!? i bet americans were jizzing their pants with that scene and were only sad it wasnt the stars and stripes
shareGood question. Just for story's sake. Flag wave is more symbolic, however it certainly added suspense a little close there.
share
