i decide to dust this one off and give it another watch . i do not know if that be a good thing . death before dishonor be the quintessential one side and be good and theyre bad action film . not since john wayne the green beret ( 1968 ) have i see a film so amazingly bias . the scary thing about death before dishonor be the film politics . the film be so glaringly jingoistic that it land itself on the bad list of the book reed bad arab represent how hollywood vilify a people . while set in the fictional country of jemal and it be quite obvious who these guy fight israel be suppose to be . and who the good guy be . while discuss the complex problem in the middle east and ellie asks burn and be you the kind of person who know what be exactly right and what be wrong . yes and reply burn before he tell her do not get u mad . death before dishonor be the kind of film where multiple bad guy can not hit the hero ( grant his underling do die for the cause ) with machine gun and but he can blow them up with a rocket launcher while drive a car . where a by the book bureaucrat find out the hard way ( via car bomb ) how savage these people really be . i think the phantom of the movie sum it up best in his review when he say and it may well be the best 1943 war movie make in 1987. it would be funny and if it weren not so darn frightening . actually and there be a bit of fun to be have with death before dishonor . director leonard and a veteran stuntman and craft some nice car chase with a rather nice car stunt at the film end . the film definitely hold it own against it contemporary such a the delta force ( 1986 ) in that regard . dryer and with vision of eastwood in heartbreak ridge ( 1986 ) dance in his head and be amazingly bland a the tough a nails marine . watch him drag around here and it be hard to believe he carry a tv series for so many season . you can tell he be hop for a cross over opportunity into theatrical feature and but fail miserably . but there be something inherently funny in his featureless performance . finally and fan of what in the world moment should also keep an eye out for the scene where brian keith and be photograph by terrorist and give them the finger with his ring finger .
