Scene from "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare", which is just incredibly entertaining...

But get this... As completely, improbably, unbelievable as the events are, they're based on a true story... AND... in the true story? Nobody got killed.

(Insert Guy Ritchie and Jerry Bruckheimer going "WHERE'S THE FUN IN THAT??!?!!")

Huh, that’s Cary Elwes. And unlike some other government ministers, he can speak with an English accent.

Not going to lie - apart from the cast and visuals I thought the movie was incredibly generic with nothing you wouldn’t have seen before. Generic heist, generic I’ll need a team, generic action and generic conclusion.

Also the most casual kills i've ever seen. Where everyone just takes a leisurely stroll while shooting people with their "silenced" machine guns in ww2. It's like that scene in john wick 2 where they shoot each other with silenced pistols in the subway station, but then in the whole movie.

What movie is this? I honestly thought it was some Invincible fanproject cause the dude kinda looks like Omniman

[–] darthsid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Ministry of ungentlemanly warfare

What made it fun was knowing in the back of your mind that it was roughly based on real life, and the gratuitous violence against Nazis.

Sorry all I heard was "please rip my dick and balls off"

My partially face-blind (face myopic?) ass thought that was Gal Gadot for a sec lol. Would've been pretty bad to make Genocide Barbie the face of even a MEME about consent and self defense 😄

I thought the guy is Till Schweiger

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Which is fitting, since he's a violent asshole and raging alcoholic.

Wait, so it became a "his body her choice" situation?

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It became self defense- or in other words, her body her choice

[–] udon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Sort of:

"Her body his choice", but then interrupted by a "his body her choice", to restore the sane "her body her choice situation"

This from the movie "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" by Guy Ritchie. Basically British Inglourious Basterds.

Shoot him in the balls instead, where it really hurts. Headshot is too humane, ends his suffering, he won't pay for it that way, this way he will though.
