Generic, but in all the right ways. Police cars hurtling through space and crashing into helicopters never gets old.
It’s mildly disappointing, though, that our favorite right-wing action star and Friend Of Yon isn’t taking on the jihad. The bad guys here are indeed terrorists but apparently not part of the “broad strata” from which so many of their real-life counterparts are drawn. Ace thinks they’re probably Serb, which makes sense: not only did they commit genocide, they’re safely caucasian and they got bombed by Clinton. Ready-made Hollywood villains.
Exit question: which state will Bruce Willis eventually be elected governor of?
Thanks to Slu for the tip. Click the image to watch.

“which state will Bruce Willis eventually be elected governor of?”
Hard to say with so many things in flux these days. However, if things keep going the way they’re going I would have to say he will be appointed as Supreme Governor of Californistan. He will use his appointment as cover to marshall the forces of good, defeat the evil islamic invaders and turn Californistan back into the hell hole it once was … full of overpaid celebrities, liberal whacks, teeming with illegals and waaaaay overpriced.

Let’s see, Ahnuld in Cali…so Brooce in Albany. Of course that would be Nu Yalk. After Eliot gets through destroying that state, Bruce will be welcomed with open arms. He lived in the Big Apple for quite a few years so he won’t be the complete carpet-bagger that you know who is(HRC)…….

None – He’ll have a new title:
President of the New World Order.

Poop. Right Tracker beat me to it.

A movie with Bruce Willis fighting mythical eastern European “terrorists” has about as much appeal as a WW2 movie with Lee Marvin fighting the Swiss. Thanks, but “24″ has already stuffed more of that absurd canard down my throat than I care to swallow.

oh,yeah,shaved-headed BW and babes with guns blasting away in the city.
So do any of the terrorists look like our little polonium pal?

we could have a celebrity death match to see if him or Arnold will be Governor of Cali next time around.

PAY PER VIEW BABY!!!

Looks Awesome!!

Great visuals, but for some reason I’m not getting the audio. I’ve enjoyed the Die Hard series, though the second one was so-so. Now that I know Alan Rickman’s politics, seeing him fall from the Nakatomi Building is that much more enjoyable.

Before you bad mouth Bruce, Did you know he regularly and often tours the Middle East with his band playing for the troops? He has never advertised that, either.
He’s a good man. Bruce for govenor? Well, look at our alternatives…

Is that that same insufferable douche from the Mac commercials at the end there?
Douche-tastic.

Of course Bruce also worked with Richard Linklater in Fast Food Nation and mentioned that he’d watched Loose Change, and had changed his mind about a lot of things. Hopefully he was just trying to be nice to his director and hadn’t really changed his mind about any thing.

Bruce Willis, the ORIGINAL homeland security!
This movie will ROCK!!!!
Yakko77 on December 15, 2006 at 4:32 PM
Ah, mindless summer fun, full of cheap thrills, explosions, and mayhem. After the way last year turned out and the way this one looks like it’s going, I think I’m gonna need this one…

Darwin gets my vote for best comment award and a gold star on his forehead!
Rocky 6, Rambo 4, what state will Stallone be Gov of? Pa? Probably thinks Philly is the capitol. No Sly, it’s the capitol of CHEESE STEAKS! And Tastykakes and scrapple and soft pretzels and … man, I’m homesick!
Off topic, but speakin’ of gold stars, I had a few Gold Star Moms/Wives on my flight today, going to a convention in L.A. I had to keep the conversation with them brief ’cause my eyes were wellin’ up on me. God bless our Troops and their families.

Lee Marvin fighting the Swiss? It doesn’t sound half bad. Those Swiss… they’re so smug and neutral.
Barntender on December 15, 2006 at 5:47 PM
I’m reminded of the Broadcast TV edit for Die Hard as “Yippee-ki-yay, Mr Falcon”
Takes me back it does, I was 8 years old, and the original was the first R Rated movie my parents let me watch in the theatres. I watched it again recently, and it still holds up as an awesome action movie.
Bruce Willis for… president?
Jones Zemkophill on December 15, 2006 at 6:07 PM
Cool. Now they just need to make a sequel to “Unbreakable.”
marianpaul on December 15, 2006 at 6:13 PM
So, once again the terrorists are white guys.
They are us, we are them, Bush is the terrorist.
I won’t give my money to this crap.
The turbaned guys are evidently extinct or invisible to the Hollywood red velvet crowd.
F them.

A few days ago I was channel surfing and clicked upon what turned out to be the last minute of some Bruce Willis movie I had never seen. He was apparently a US Soldier/terrorist who Denzel Washington just convinced to release his hostages. As the joyous music played the hostages ran, in dramatic slow motion, for freedom, many wearing funny Muslim headgear. I had to laugh.
Perchant on December 15, 2006 at 10:23 PM
Wasn’t that just heresay? I don’t think anyone has ever heard Willis say that.
And, of course, Michael Yon knows him and wrote in an email which was posted here on Hotair:
DaveS on December 16, 2006 at 3:07 AM
Perchant, in that movie you’re talkin’ about, Bruce is the C.O. of the Army unit occupying NYC because the terrorists are blowin’ up buses and stuff. Bruce orders captured terrorists to be tortured to get intel from them. Denzel is a cop who argues “America doesn’t torture” and has Bruce arrested.
This was before 9/11 but it shows what this country would look like today if we didn’t have Troops over there in Iraq and Afghanistan fightin’ the pricks on THEIR home turf.
Tony737 on December 16, 2006 at 7:47 AM
Hey thanks!
darwin on December 16, 2006 at 7:59 AM
“Why are you so calm? Have you done that kinda stuff before?“
