Or should people learn about nuance and realize that not all blackface and racism is pro-racism?

Remind me - what were the plots of them? The last one I remember was with Jet Li in 1999

You don't need to censor sequels or homages. The original one has racism, homophobia, and police brutality in it to get it canceled.

  • Riggs thinks it's "disgusting" that two women slept together.
  • Riggs calls Murtaugh a homosexual slur for helping him to his feet. ("What are you, a ***?")
  • Riggs calls Endo a racial slur. ("Who's the ****?")
  • Riggs blindly shoots down the hallway leading into a busy nightclub without concern for the possibility of bystanders walking in.
  • The final fight scene technically amounts to beating a man in custody since there are police officers around to block Joshua's escape. Naturally, they all allow the beating to take place.


It's an awesome action movie, but it has a lot more baggage than Die Hard.
