I’m rather fond of James Coburn’s Derek Flint films.
In Like Flint. Coburn was cool.
It’s fantasy. Lighten up.

What was the last movie made that featured Muzzie terrorists as the villian(s)?
True Lies(1994)?
In a way I understand this. The 007 producers were themselves capitalist businessmen who just wanted to maximize their box office profits by making their films appealing to as broad an audience as possible while audiences came to these films to escape reality and forget about the real problems of the world for a couple of hours.
What’s sadder is the failure for either them or someone else to make more serious and realistic espionage films outside of the 007 world with politically incorrect villains.
Executive Decision(1996).
Indeed.

“An actor as president?”
Movies since 9/11 in which the bad guys are not Islamists

Hollywood’s Muslim Lies

Is that “odd job” or “Random task”?

Interesting story about that movie!
The man who played the villain, an aspiring young actor who was athletic and handsome, was also a muslim. When he went to Hollywood to pursue a career in movies, he naturally sought out a local mosque where he could attend services.
Within weeks, there were attempts to recruit him and send him to a “madrassa” in then Taliban Controlled Afghanistan to “train” for Jihad. He was not interested because he wanted to be a movie actor, and left the mosque because he was feeling pressured to take his “studies further”.
His portrayal in “True Lies” caused such a vicious outcry from islamists in America, that we haven’t seen much of him since.
This was years before 9/11/01.
If you take jihad out of Islam you don’t have Islam anymore!
Great story!
Granted, but the fact remains it’s a fiction series written by Fleming or based on his works.
I don’t understand why someone would get upset by works of fiction because the villains in real life are different ones. Again, what part of ‘fiction’ is difficult to understand? Are fiction authors (or movie makers) subject to the writer’s demand that their villains are based on real people? How presumptious! He should write his own material then!
Once James Bond turned gay, I was done. No more of those movies for me.
The movies are only rarely related to the books to be quite honest. Now admittedly Fleming did use Spectre as a villain fairly often, but a lot of the books and movies that share names really have about nothing in common.
In Like Flint: It was the women that I watched it for.
