True Lies	comment	True Lies is a 1994 action comedy (bordering on Affectionate Parody) starring (of course) Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Action Hero, Jamie Lee Curtis as the wife, Eliza Dushku as their daughter, Tia Carrere as the Femme Fatale, Charlton Heston as Harry's boss, Bill Paxton as a sleazy womanizer, and Tom Arnold as Arnold's beleaguered partner. It's directed by James Cameron, meaning there are some sweet explosions. While it's hardly high art, it's good popcorn fun, mostly because it can't really decide whether it's trying to be an action movie or a parody of same, and so - possibly due to the infallible combination of Cameron and Schwarzenegger - does both pretty darn well. It was released on July 15, 1994.Arnold plays Harry Tasker, who his wife thinks is a mild-mannered computer salesman; in truth, he's a top agent for the clandestine Omega Sector, the United States' "last line of defense". Helen, played by Curtis, resents the long "business trips" he takes, which make it hard for him to keep his appointments with the family. While Harry is off once more tracking a dangerous terrorist, he learns Helen has apparently been seeing someone on the side—a used car salesman pretending to be a spy.He uses his agency's resources to teach the other man a lesson—and give his wife some adventure—but when a harmless "assignment" he sends Helen on is interrupted by the dangerous terrorists he was tracking, she finally finds out what he's really been doing on those business trips.Despite both Cameron and Schwarzenegger wanting to make a sequel, plans were mired in Development Hell by both Arnold's political tenure and the September 11th attacks; there they eventually died. CBS has given an order for a TV series adaptation on May 2022. In 2023 a Spiritual Successor arrived in the Netflix serial FUBAR, also starring Schwarzenegger.Based upon the 1991 French movie La Totale by Claude Zidi with Thierry Lhermitte, from which it kept most of the plot, transported it over to America, and ran it in typical Hollywood style which, honestly, tends to work pretty well for action comedy. It spawned a top-down shooter Licensed Game of same title on fifth-generation consoles and the Game Boy.

He was a real terrorist and the most wanted man in the Western world before the rise of Osama Bin Laden. Played straight with the Commerce Bank International, "which we all know is a front for certain countries to finance terrorist activities." This is almost certainly a reference to the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, a British/Pakistani bank that was being investigated at the time of the movie's release for massive money laundering and other crimes linking them to various dictators, drug cartels, terrorists and other unsavory factions.note It was finally forced to close the year after the film's release.

Starting in the late 1990s, action movies began to get more serious and gritty, with heroes who looked like average guys instead of bodybuilders and storylines that were more grounded in realism.

The horse that Arnold Harry Tasker rides in this chase makes this "you've GOT to be kidding me" look when Harry tries to make him follow and stops just short of the edge, pitching Harry out of his seat and causing him to dangle precariously.

Harry has a tape recorded for Helen's "secret mission" with a series of commands so he won't have to use his own voice and give himself away. It works for a few simple commands (unzipping her dress, dancing), and even accounts for Helen being somewhat awkward and having to correct her, instructing her to do it in a more sexy way. Subverted when it says to slide her nylons off — she isn't wearing any. Harry has to hastily fast-forward a bit to get to the next part.

Helen is, so she's been told, undercover as a High-Class Call Girl, but is told by her handler (Gib using a voice-changer) that her contact is a voyeur. She performs a striptease dance for the contact without knowing it's Harry, and is then told to "lie down on the bed and close your eyes", whereupon Harry indeed does attempt to have sex with her. Technically, Helen's orders from Gib were to plant a bug, not to have sex with the contact, but she was told that if she failed her mission she'd go to federal prison—and braining her contact with a hotel telephone for trying to have sex with her would certainly ruin a cover as a prostitute and therefore could have been construed as failing the mission, had it not been her own husband setting her up in a poorly-thought-out attempt to fulfill a fantasy on her part.

He speaks American-accented English, his religion and heritage are never brought up, and in every respect he behaves like any other member of Harry's organization. Notably, he's the one who pulls off The Infiltration into the enemy building at the end of the movie, but he doesn't do it by posing as one of the terrorists - he's simply slipped in as part of the news crew whose presence Salim has demanded so he can give his demands to the world.

True Lies / int_b2cdd776	comment	Bottomless Magazines: As befitting a '90s action movie, reloading is typically something done for dramatic effect. Some particularly notable scenes: During the bathroom shootout, Aziz fires a long burst at Harry on first entering the room,* killing the mook Harry was in the process of arresting another long burst sweeping the row of stalls - leaving a good dozen or so bullet holes in each of the six doors - and two more bursts as Harry dives out of the last stall and returns fire. He does not reload until after he leaves the bathroom. In the scene where Helen drops a MAC-10 down a flight of stairs, the gun is shown firing almost continuously as it tumbles - this after Helen is first seen wildly firing off 10-15 rounds in one long burst. Its magazine runs dry upon hitting the bottom step.

About a minute before the bomb detonates, law enforcement officers told people not to look in its direction, and the pilots of the Harriers landed their planes and shut down the engines, while Harry holds his hand over his eye so he could not see the blast in his peripheral vision.

She informs Aziz of the location Harry Tasker is staying at for his cover so Aziz and his men can ambush and kill him and later gleefully informs the abducted Harry of the torture he'll undergo so that Crimson Jihad can get answers about who he works for, making it a point to taunt his wife Helen about when she was flirting with him too. When Helen hits her later on for another taunt, Juno tries to spitefully shoot her, only keeping Helen alive as a hostage at Aziz's assistance. She then later tries to kill her in the back of her limo by means of either trying to shoot her or trying to strangle her during a heated fight.

True Lies / int_e9f517e1	comment	Artistic License â€“ Geography: How did the terrorists get Dana to Miami for the climax? Salim doesn't find out about her until he finds Harry's wallet after the fuel truck explodes and he presumes Harry dead. The timeline of the setting of the bomb means that it is less than 90 minutes between when he learns about Dana and brings her to the Miami highrise. Even if he still had Crimson Jihad members in Washington D.C. to grab her, this is presuming that a rebellious teenager like Dana is home when both her parents are MIA (unlikely) of that a couple of Middle Eastern men with limited knowledge of the D.C. Metro area tracked down a 15 year old girl in the era of no cell phones and no social media (even more unlikely). Then after tracking Dana down they somehow got her on a plane that managed to fly 925 miles (1488 km) from Washington D.C. to Miami, FL in under 90 minutes. The plane would have to be going roughly Mach 1.25. The only civilian aircraft even capable of that was The Concorde, which discontined service between D.C. and Miami in 1991, three years before the movie came out. (Never mind the hassle of dragging a kidnapped, frightened, teenage girl through two major metropolitan air ports.) The only planes capable of making this trip in the continental United States would have been fighter jets. Not only is it extremely unlikely that terrorists could acquire such a jet, it's even more unlikely that they would be able to fly it if they could. Plus, a rogue fighter jet departing the capitol and landing in another major American city would have been tracked and shot down in very short order. Add all of it up and it was physically impossible to get Dana to Miami for the end of the movie.

Even he can't believe it (though it's perfectly plausible: an iron light post is more than enough to stop an AKS74U bullet, and the deduction of silhouette it provided against automatic fire is pretty substantial; moreover, the only parts that COULD be hit would be the agent's belly fat and butt fat). Played straight in the opening chase sequence, where the bad guys' 5.56 rounds are stopped by a rather skinny softwood tree.
