      When he uses a squad to break into Bill Paxton’s sleazy getaway spot where he tries to seduce Jamie Lee Curtis. It’s followed by this scene:

        I think it’s right when he sees someone’s about to hurt her, so he hurts the guy or something, and the guy ends up getting kicked in the balls by Curtis. The scene ending with some awesome “action helicopter” cam of the extraction completed, home boy limping back to the heli holding his balls, “Son of a…”

        It’s such a well directed movie with perfect pace too. Even when it goes over top, it makes just enough fun of itself for doing so.

            Haha, I chucked it on last night after typing this comment. There’s so many scenes where characters have no place being there but they are, because it’s just the public dealing with an action hero.

            My partner hadn’t seen it before.

            “There’s no way he’s about to jump the building with a horse… Yeah, I was gonna say. A horse would never do that.”

            “But that’s the point. You’re so into the action hero stuff that you didn’t notice they played a screeching rubber SFX when the horse stopped.”

            😙👌

            Even Curtis’s line, “I married Rambo…” is another subtle joke in an otherwise action flick that has all the usual action flick appeal.

      It’s where the squad attacked bill paxton when bill was trying to convince Jamie Lee Curtis to leave the country. They cut the trailer in half, bill fell on Jamie and arnold flipped his shit, made this face.
