We all know that films reflect the political era that they're in. Take the 80's, for example, full of Reagan era jingoistic commie whipping films. Arnie, Stalone, Chuck Norris all came to the fore - not to mention films like Topgun and The Beastmaster
Well thank god for George W Bush.
We've had Rocky 6, already a classic, and yesterday the Commando Director's Cut was released with an extra 5 minutes of wanton violence.
Coming up we have Rambo 4 and Under Siege 3. A few months ago we had Die Hard 4
This is indeed a vintage era for action fans, enjoy it whilst it lasts - soon we will be entering a pontificating Western era full of films about American Independance and secularism.
