There is a scene where the 4 men look over a rock face when they are faced at a rock face by the Taliban. They decide to jump/fall off and as a result there is quite an overly dramatic scene of them falling. People in the full theatre laughed because it was a bit much. I saw the movie the night before it came out so it was full of keeners like me. Anything else you want to know about?
I didn't find the fall overly dramatic. They showed it very well.

lol.....I watched the movie 2 nights ago and yes, the cliff part is unintentionally funny.....


Another unintentionally funny part is when the Afghan guys are trying to kill Axelson.....and required 3 to 4 tries before they finally got the headshot.....lol

Are the terrorists the good guys in this one the way the aliens were the good guys in Battleship?

I really wonder if the context of the movie really gets people riled up and aggressive, as there was an incident in the theatre I was at, while during the movie a fight almost broke out between two male patrons. Thank goodness this was in Canada where nobody had a gun.

Well, I mentioned that in my movie review. Some of those falls were just too much and non-realistic as it would kill a normal human being...I guess that was why some people laughed at such a scene because it was ridiculously unreal!

Man, that is just crazy! If you have a gun in your possession, you will one day find an excuse to use it in the stupidest of situations.

This is a tragic example of that! This retired cop had no right bringing in a gun to a movie....but that is the US for you...you get a gun and use it and everyone gets enraged at the incident but then they DON'T Change the gun laws to make them similar to Canada (which does protect the general public) because of the NRA's lobbying and power over the US Government. It's just pathetic! > :(

Thank God for Canada's gun rules and control really. There are some really rude people who do not turn off their phones when the movie is about to start. But note this this incident took part during the Trailers and not during the movie, so the context of the movie in this case had nothing to do with the aggression taking place.

Terrorists are never good guys.

Depends on the nature of the offence. If it was some communist prick saying the SEALs got what they desevred, I'd be glad to see others defends the SEALs honour.

That's the point; it shows the incredible tenacity and endurance the SEALs faced - even after jumping off two mountains - to get back up and continue to fight the terrorists who were trying to kill them.
