neutral · AI labelView post →R.I.P. Gene Hackman! From the 1st movie I noted his talent-"Mississippi Burning"-he near-dominated the silver screen in the late 80s-90s. Some of my fav action tense drama films: Unforgiven, the Firm, Crimson Tide, Get Shorty, Enemy of the State, Runaway Jury, The Chamber, Behind Enemy Lines, Heist
neutral · AI labelView post →Behind Enemy Lines. I dunno why, but that movie has so many audio jumpscares and I HATE jumpscares. Long moments of silence and then BANG! It gave me a panic attack in the theater so I left. And I'm usually EXTREMELY tolerant of films that I might not like. Usually I just laugh at them.
negative · AI labelView post →One of the movie tropes of “military men are badass” is the “we’re going to get our buds to safety!” (Black Hawk Down,- Behind Enemy Lines, Bat-21., etc). Where the hell is “Ice Station Zero,” where a team of rangers breaks their Afghan interpreter out of ICE custody??
neutral · AI labelView post →After all the Behind Enemy Lines movies like Top Gun Maverick, you'd think they'd try to leverage the downed air men in Iran.

neutral · AI labelView post →These images made me think of whatever country the movie “Behind Enemy Lines” with Owen Wilson takes place in (I think Bosnia or Serbia)
neutral · AI labelView post →If you're starting a Gene Hackman bingefest today you shouldn't overlook the 2001 Bosnian War movie Behind Enemy Lines. It got a 37% Rotten Tomatoes score and has a lot of issues re: jingoism and shitty stereotypes, but I think it's a fucking blast.
positive · AI labelView post →Oh sweet, they can remake Behind Enemy Lines!
neutral · AI labelView post →Listening to @unclearpod.bsky.social and something that occurred to me is that while technically it came out in 2001 Behind Enemy Lines seems like a kind of a quintessential 90s movie about that brief period where it seemed like the US might become a semi-benevolent hegemon.

positive · AI labelView post →CoD didn’t need a film adaptation…mainly because we already have PLENTY of “adaptations.” Band of Brothers Enemy at the Gate Black Hawk Down The Pacific Behind Enemy Lines The Rock Just watch those films/shows. I actually got into Enemy at the Gate because of playing the first CoD.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the movie Mayday tonight. Has Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh. If the guys who did Dungeons & Dragons did Behind Enemy Lines. Was funny and also serious. Recommend.
neutral · AI labelView post →So some clown is going to make another "Behind Enemy Lines" movie about someone who quite probably was complacent in bombing innocent school children and other civilians in a war that nobody wanted. Yay.
neutral · AI labelView post →Mr Mamdani why haven’t you spoken out in condemnation of Lieutenant Chris Burnett’s decision to exceed his orders and provoke the Serbs into shooting him down during the events of the film BEHIND ENEMY LINES
neutral · AI labelView post →Wow, “Behind Enemy Lines” is not a very good movie.
negative · AI labelView post →drinking tonight so its time for some absolute pigslop war movie. BEHIND ENEMY LINES is an old favorite
positive · AI labelView post →I only brought up Behind Enemy Lines specifically because it isn't a great movie, but he's great in it. In that way that elevates the film. He pulls you in. (3/3)
neutral · AI labelView post →I think it’s cool Gene Hackmans last movie was Behind Enemy Lines, went out like this and didn’t do another movie after it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hearing about Gene Hackman’s Death this morning. One of my favorite movies of his in which I always had a copy of for whatever reason has to be Behind Enemy Lines. It’s a great movie if you haven’t seen it yet. I highly recommend it.
positive · AI labelView post →@cornpuzzle.bsky.social @talkhoops.bsky.social @darthamin.bsky.social RIP Gene Hackman. Just sayin', Behind Enemy Lines (2001 film) has 37% critic score on RT. It also has Owen Wilson...
neutral · AI labelView post →Behind Enemy Lines is an underrated movie
positive · AI labelView post →Land of Bad is streaming on Netflix and it’s an awesome old-school action movie. Lots of shoot shoots and bang bangs and explosions with a great cast and action scenes where you can see what’s happening. Reminds me of another favorite: Behind Enemy Lines.

positive · AI labelView post →Apple TV is pushing a movie called Mayday which sounds an awful like Owen Wilson Pickett’s Behind Enemy Lines but is movies Russia. It’s definitely something I may watch soon.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tbh Behind Enemy Lines & Flight of the Phoenix are perfectly average. His others… I didn’t realize he’d directed a film after DIE HARD 5 in 2013.
neutral · AI labelView post →We already got this movie years ago Its called Behind Enemy Lines and its based on an actual real story
neutral · AI labelView post →Shooter is same place as rescued pilots who are nameless and hidden. As much as Trump loves selling himself with a win, radio silence mostly for now. Should we just wait for the book or movie!? Blackhawk Down, Lone Survivor, BAT 21, Behind Enemy Lines, 13 hours Benghazi, the list is much longer
neutral · AI labelView post →The downed pilot in Iran story is straight from the movie Behind Enemy Lines. Fun fact: Scott O’Grady, the soldier the movie is based on, is a conspiracy nut. He’s probably advising Hegseth and Trump on the story. Trump tried to nominate him for a position in 2020. Photo is from the movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →The U.S. is reporting whatever fits their heroic movie script: "Behind Enemy Lines."
neutral · AI labelView post →Trump and Hegseth narrative of what happened in Iran is the scenario of the movie "Behind Enemy Lines." He's literally stealing this storyline and claiming it as his own work. You get kicked out of college for this.
neutral · AI labelView post →Surprised that they aren’t showing clips of the Owen Wilson movie “Behind Enemy Lines.”
neutral · AI labelView post →Fox told the truth this time. Also, there was a 2001 movie, Behind Enemy Lines, that told the true story of one of our aviators getting rescued from Serbia.
neutral · AI labelView post →This entire debacle reminds me of the film “Behind Enemy Lines” with Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman. I pray for the same outcome. Bless every one of those soldiers.
neutral · AI labelView post →Isn't that the plot to the Owen Wilson/Gene Hackman film Behind Enemy Lines?

neutral · AI labelView post →The 2001 film Behind Enemy Lines was very loosely inspired by the real-life rescue mission of Capt. Scott “Basher 52” O’Grady by the U.S. Marines. On 6/2/1995 Capt. O’Grady was shot down over Bosnia and Herzegovina. He survived for 6 days, avoiding the enemy, before his rescue. #BehindEnemyLines
neutral · AI labelView post →Behind Enemy Lines is one of those movies that doesn't try to be anything more than what it is, a straightforward action thriller with high-stakes chases and explosions. The plot is predictable, filled with familiar tropes and moments that feel like they were borrowed from other war films and stitched together. It doesn’t have much depth or originality, but it still manages to be entertaining. The directing leans heavily on fast cuts and a hyperactive camera style, which can feel excessive at…
neutral · AI labelView post →Apparently, it's also called "Behind Enemy Lines". You know that it's a proper trash movie when it has multiple title.

Bored with the relentlessness of it all, he puts in his papers to the chagrin of his commanding officer. With two weeks left to go, he is flying a reconnaissance mission over Bosnia when he is shot down, his pilot murdered by rogue troops and he is forced to flee for his life - pursued by a ruthless sniper - whilst his task force colleagues try to find and rescue him. Based on a true story, it is actually quite a well…
