neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched the older action movie Olympus Has Fallen. If it happened today: "We have to save the President!" Eh, do we? Are we sure?
negative · AI labelView post →At the same time, "similar works" are protected and allowed as legal. For instance the 5000 spaghetti westerns that exist, or the entire formula for 80's slasher films. Or Ants and A Bugs Life, or Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down, or Deep Impact and Armageddon. So there has to be some sort of line somewhere that's a cut-off, but it might be hard to find. Musk wanted to use blade runner and was told to fuck off, so he made up his own dystopian Sci fi future scene. He most certainly…
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the end of Olympus Has Fallen as the movie American President speaks to calm and reassure the public. It made me think that for the next 4 years, we will not hear anything positive, caring, calming, or inspiring from our POTUS. 😠

neutral · AI labelView post →Nuclear Football cameo in OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN (2013). In this deeply researched, very realistic film, a Secret Service agent carries the satchel and is handcuffed to it.

negative · AI labelView post →Air Force One, White House Down, the Olympus Has Fallen series, and it's a videogame and not a film, I concede, but let's throw Bad Dudes in there, while I'm at it.
neutral · AI labelView post →I imagine they are angry because he made it up. Seriously, this "plot" sounds like it's straight out of an action movie like Olympus Has Fallen. It's absolute preposterous nonsense.

neutral · AI labelView post →A holiday trick I like to employ for preventing political discourse at family gatherings is to just blurt out objectively bad takes every five seconds like, "Olympus Has Fallen is the best film of the last thirty years."
positive · AI labelView post →“White House Down” and “Olympus Has Fallen” are basically the same movie lol
neutral · AI labelView post →The acting is sooo much better in Olympus Has Fallen. This was terrible even for a B-movie!
negative · AI labelView post →OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN = WHITE HOUSE DOWN The former is a highly entertaining "90s action movie" with a budget. The latter is a highly entertaining action/comedy. I love both. (I also love LONDON and like ANGEL, but whatever.)
positive · AI labelView post →Olympus Has Fallen. Gerard Butler as the ultimate Secret Service agent (Mike Banning; great movie name) who specializes in throat stabs
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Olympus Has Fallen (it is a ridiculous movie, but the cast is stacked and it is a good action, blow everything up, romp) and this just happened:
neutral · AI labelView post →"I get why some might be tricked into thinking [this is better than White House Down]. This movie tries sooo hard to be legitimate cinema while [WHD] indulges in NO such pretense--which is why [WHD] is superior." My ★★★½ @letterboxd.social review of OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN (2013) dir. Antoine Fuqua 🎥🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching the movie, 'Olympus Has Fallen'. That has a whole new meaning now.
neutral · AI labelView post →Actually make that Olympus Has Fallen. It occurs at 37:17 so if you start the movie at 11:23 you'll be good.
neutral · AI labelView post →One Last Shot! AKA Olympus Has Fallen 2. I think this trilogy peaked with the second movie but there's still a ton to appreciate here especially on a raw technical level. Kane Kosugi rematch was dope. boxd.it/gsK8EF

neutral · AI labelView post →What fictional movie plot was this? The ballroom was "Olympus Has Fallen" was one of two 2013 films that depicted a terrorist attack against the White House; the other "White House Down" with additional scary plots.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve just discovered that I instantly like any Gerard Butler #movie 500% more if I imagine it starring Gérard Depardieu instead. Olympus Has Fallen ✅ Geostorm ✅ Gods of Egypt ✅ Law Abiding Citizen ✅ Gamer ✅ The second Tomb Raider?? 300?? God, I’d love Depardieu takes on all of those 🤩 #FilmSky 🎥

neutral · AI labelView post →Thank you for the info! We didn't know about the movie "Downfall." www.cbr.com/downfall-200... We recently watched "Olympus Has Fallen" (2013) for the first time.
neutral · AI labelView post →Is this a scene from White House Down or Olympus Has Fallen movies? If it’s. New movie, what should it be called?
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching “Olympus Has Fallen” for the first time & this movie is definitely anti-US propaganda. Makes the Secret Service look incompetent and the Executive Branch seem weak & easily intimidated.
negative · AI labelView post →G20 (2025) A good popcorn or airflight movie, not to be taken too seriously, or even slightly, for that matter. Along the same lines as Olympus Has Fallen with Viola Davis and Homelander. With plenty of action and explosions fun but very average.

positive · AI labelView post →I was watching the movie. Olympus Has Fallen. If tRaitor tRump was in the White House he would have given the terrorists everything they wanted, immediately. Or he would’ve cried like the coward he is. Or he would be one of the terrorists.

neutral · AI labelView post →There are those who (wrongly) claim OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, the other "Die Hard in the White House Movie," is better than WHITE HOUSE DOWN. To them, I ask: Which of these movies ends with Joey King canceling a missile strike by doing a flag twirling routine on the White House lawn? #micdrop 📽️
negative · AI labelView post →A lot of the quotes are really creative and clever but there's a lot of people in here just learning what a "Twin Film" is as though their the first ones to realize Mission to Mars and Red Planet or Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down have the same plot.

neutral · AI labelView post →Worth a read. Olympus Has Fallen should have been a movie about how democracy was bought out and destroyed.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok, finally decided on my Christmas eve film, the title is apt for these days, too. Olympus Has Fallen Yes, it is a Christmas film.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Olympus Has Fallen again. Great throwaway action movie. But the beginning tells me why I would Never (even if I wanted to, which I don't) be in politics. Because there is nowhere in the multiverse where I would want anyone to make the choice to save me instead of my wife.
positive · AI labelView post →The White House in ruins? Glad it's just a movie. Happy 56th birthday to Gerard Butler. Watch him in MACHINE GUN PREACHER, OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, LONDON HAS FALLEN, and GAMER all night on Pluto TV Action: pluto.tv/us/live-tv/5...
