The Last Sentinel is a 2007 post-apocalypse sci-fi action film directed by Jesse V. Johnson, starring Don Wilson (from the Bloodfist series, all of them), Katee Sackhoff, Keith David and Bokeem Woodbine.20 Minutes into the Future, humans lost a war against the drone police, created to serve humanity in the first place. When Tallis, a grizzled ex-soldier and survivor rescues an amnesiac young woman and takes her in as his partner, they will have to fight their way out against a seemingly endless horde of mechanical enemies.Not to be confused with the 2023 film Last Sentinel. | |

| The Last Sentinel / int_2044af1 | comment |
Faceless Goons: The drones doesn't have any feature visible on their faces; lower tier-mooks have black face-plates with two dark eye-lenses which are a stand-in for eyes, while the red Elite Mooks only have a chevron-shaped slit where their eyes and nose are supposed to be. | |

Scary Black Man | |
| The Last Sentinel / int_3036294e | comment |
Scary Black Man: There is Tallis' superior, Colonel Norton as played by Keith David, an eager Blood Knight (along with his sapient gatling gun) so fond of violence it's pretty creepy. Downplayed with Tallis' Token Black Friend Anchilles, who kicks quite a bit of ass but is rather affable and not really scary. | |

Training Montage | |
| The Last Sentinel / int_31fcc258 | comment |
Training Montage: Shortly after Tallis and the Girl survived a drone assault together, Tallis has to train her on fighting and shooting. Which is somewhat unnecessary, given how in the earlier shootout scene she seems perfectly capable of kicking ass without his teaching. | |

| The Last Sentinel / int_441ccbad | comment |
Talking Weapon: Tallis' M16 machine gun, named Angel, is a sci-fi example with an AI voice installed in her system, allowing her to chit-chat back and forth with Tallis throughout the film. Yes, the talking machine gun is an actual character. Later on in the film, Tallis managed to retrieve Colonel Norton's gattling gun, which turns out to have the same AI system installed, is entirely sentient, and talks with the baritone voice of Keith David. | |

Utopia Justifies the Means | |
| The Last Sentinel / int_45fe3a2e | comment |
Utopia Justifies the Means: Tallis finds out some human technicians are willingly aiding the drones (they helped to create them). A man he speaks with believes they will usher in "nirvana" as perfect, orderly beings. Wiping out most humans to do so isn't something he cares about apparently if a utopia is achieved. | |

Pineapple Surprise: While fighting a red drone, Tallis managed to remove the pin from one of the drone's grenade before shoving the drone into water. BOOM. Later on, after digging out his own eyeball to remove the tracking implant, Tallis uses said implant together with a few grenades, sans pins, to set up an explosive trap for three red drones. | |

Super Soldier: Tallis, and most of his comrades. Being trained from childhood to fight and having cybernetic eyes, they are explicitly described as the last hope when all other forces have failed. They fail too at first, but Tallis manages to save the day even when the rest are dead, with only one person to help him. | |

Eye Scream: Subverted with Anchilles; after he dies, Tallis has to use his dagger to dig out the implant in Anchilles' eye to prevent the drones from tracking them, but he's removing the eyeball of a corpse. However it was played straight when Tallis has to remove his own eyeball near the end of the film when the Super Drone and a few red drones are tracking him down. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: The drones have terrible aim, and can't even hit Tallis or the Girl from less than ten meters away. It really makes the audience wonder how did they manage to win a war against humans and enslave all of mankind given how incompetent they are. This appears to be Plot Armor, as their aim is fine against supporting human characters. | |

Taking You with Me: As part of the distraction for the climactic Storming the Castle, Tallis wires a truckload of explosives for Colonel Norton's A.I.-controlled minigun to set off if it's overrun by Drones, with full understanding that it's going to be destroyed alongside the enemy. The A.I. accepts it and when it inevitably does get surrounded by Drones, it sets off the bomb gleefully. | |
