Invasion USA!
Awesome retrospective on this trash classic here.
Ah yes… Cubans, Chinese, Russians and other assorted Commie bastards will destroy us… but Chuck Norris is here to stop them! Woohoo. I feel safer already. Ironically, Norris prevents more terrorist attacks and wipes out more of their masterminds in 90 minutes than Bush has managed in 6 years. Life sadly doesn’t always imitate art.
Now here’s one of those movies that will never get much airplay post 9-11. In one scene, the terrorists are in America plotting their big strike against the government… one of them blithely remarks:
This was made all the way back in 1985, mind you. The people who made this flick should have been put in charge of Homeland Security, dammit.America has not been invaded by a foreign enemy in nearly 200 years. Look at them, Nikko. Soft. Spineless decadence. They don’t even understand the nature of their own freedom or how we can use it against them. They are their own worst enemy, and they don’t know it.
