Yeah but that is whatnmakes it an “action movie” ie unrealistic, and loads of action- it’s what people,want. Boxing movies are totally fake too, and the championship in them woild be pumilated to pulp 1/2 through first round in real life by a relatively boxer, but we like,the movies as an escape,from the absurdity of real life, into a realm of the absurdity of movie life. Plus it’s cool to see vehicles git blown up real,good

Exactly, like I said, this movie wasn’t exactly based on the book.

I randomly came across an old S.W.A.T. episode on YouTube - the original show from the mid 1970s (with the hit song).

Hadn't seen that show since I was a kid and the action scenes were so cheesy and unrealistic that I was laughing. They were jumping 20 feet across high rise roofs of buildings and rappelling into windows with pinpoint accuracy, smashing through the glass and landing on their feet inside the building every time with their rifles at the ready. But that's what we kids thought SWAT people actually did in the day.

Then I grew up and learned that all they really actually do is bash in doors of Republicans in the middle of the night with news cameras trailing behind them.
