Things I learned from Invasion USA


I thought this might be cool to start on this movie, and I'm sure you all have some good ones to point out, but...I learned that:

The police do not respond to a suburban neighborhood while there is a rocket launcher attack.

Grenade launchers do not need to be reloaded.

Armadillos make great pets.

reply

Rockets are the choice weapon for fighting in the hallways of an office building... and men named Rostov can pull loaded launchers our of his ass

Apparently the coast gaurd cant find world war 2 era landing boats off the coast of florida(?).

Chuck Norris haunts the dreams of even the most hardened criminals

loved the rocket launcher scene only question how do you blow a dude up from 10 feet away and comeout unscathed :) not even rocketlaunchers beat "the chuck"

reply

A man can only live off of eating frogs for so long.

Don't irritate Chuck Norris.

1. Armadillos are also adorable

2. Don't *ever* snort coke around Richard Lynch.

3. If you're a bad guy that Chuck wants to talk to, he'll know in advance
what room you'll be occupying with your prostitute friend.

4. Chuck Norris can talk government agencies into letting terrorists shoot up their facilities. Who pays for the damage repair? The taxpayers.

5. Don't spit in Richard Lynch's face. Ever.

6. If Chuck clicks open a rocket launcher behind you, please put yours down. You don't have a shot. Trust me.

7. As an addendum to # 6, just don't use rocket launchers, period. The minute you try to fire one off, Chuck will put a gun to your head and say "it's time to die".

*Don't place a desk in front of a garage door. If it explodes, you can count on being taken out with a chunk of shrapnel.

*When stalking a dangerous terrorist, don't where tactical gear. Instead, a black turtleneck sweater will do.




Are you a tourist? she says.
I'm not even sure what city this is.

HUndreds of mercenaries, part of a multi-racial force (all in their 30s) can make a prolonged invasion on the USA with only machine guns and no rucksacks to contain food, spare ammo, and spare stuff.

reply

If it didn't work then, now it will.

Paintings make great gum-holders.

When around Richard Lynch, make sure neither of you are packing.

When attempting to make friendly contact with a mass-murdering member of "The Agency", the best thing to do is quietly break into their house like a common hood and not announce yourself.

When in Hell, they allow you to send postcards.

Be sure you speak clearly to Chuck Norris. Pray you don't have to run it by him again, especially if you're holding something.

Only in a Chuck Norris movie would there be a ROCKET LAUNCHER QUICK DRAW!

If Chuck Norris ever gets the drop on you and your rocket launcher and has a gun pointed at your head, you better hope he pulls the trigger.

Richard Lynch is a crackshot when it comes to a fully-automatic rocket launcher.

Lady, I never walk into a place I don't know how to walk out of

Terrorists don't drive american cars. Even they have a chance they choose a pick up with a big NISSAN Sign on the front.

Even the military will order a curfew for everybody. People will go to church and sing loudly.

If you shoot on Chuck Norris you'll gonna miss him. It's impossible to shoot him. It's also very difficult to hit his car.

Matt Hunter lives happily alone in an ugly hut in the swamp.

Matt Hunter like's to watch "Earth vs. the Flying Saucers".

If there is a heavy battle outside a building you don't hear anything from the shooting inside.

Female Reporters call Matt Hunter Cowboy.

- US military tactics for attacking a fortified building are bunching up then staying in the same place whilst shooting

- If a large room is empty, run along firing randomly

- Tour guides always carry double barrel shotguns with the safety off

- A press pass lets you walk straight into anywhere

- Tank shells are only as powerful as grenades

- RPGs on the other hand, will destroy and entire house

reply

An '85 model Nissan pickup will explode easily when impacting a row of sitting cars at high speed.

reply

Men named after Russian cities (like Rostov, for example) believe that drugdealers souls are trapped in their pants.

reply

It's entirely possible to slap on crude-looking grenade launchers onto an M-16.

Tanks can fire their main guns without recoil.

Armored cars have no chance against tank guns or LAWs.

Believe it or not, Chuck Norris CAN run out of ammunition (the Mini-UZIs and also the rifle-grenade launcher after he blows up the office where the two thugs are hiding).

It really is smart to just hover a few helicopters and blast away at a trapped enemy force even though the enemy is firing full blast.

Quickfiring rocket launchers don't need reloading.

reply

If a person leave's their package and continues to run away from you when you chase them with it, throw it away, it is likley to be detremental to your health...

When you have failed to show up at a terrorist target and also have a wounded hand, it is not wise to lie that you were with a girl, no one will buy it...

If thing's aren't bad enough with your leader, spit in his face to try and win him over...

It's not wise being a smart a$$ with shaded or dead eyed cops, your likley to get a shotgun blast to the chest...

If you happen to see a random car attach a device to your bus, don't notfiy the driver or any adults, it will no doubt go away...

Parent's think it is safer to be one large target on a school bus than at home...

Terrorist's have a habbit of loosing bombs...

Nobody is above the law...apart from Chuck Norris

When you talk to God it’s called prayer...when God talks to you it’s called schizophrenia...

reply

When your sitting on a bed in your rented room you just sit there when a FBI unit turns up to arrest you.

When your speaking to your counterpart in Russian then you speak to him in English

Rostov can speak Russian and English and also German.

Reporters love to swear at Chuck Norris even though he has rescued them from gun toting heavies.

reply

Sex on a beach will lead to death.

Cocaine use is bad for your testacles.

Even terrorists have nightmares.

Kids like to randomly throw gum at parked 4x4s.

If you don't adhere to Chuck Norris' demands, he'll come back and hit you with so many rights you'll beg him for a left.

reply

Grenade launchers do not have to be reloaded but eventually you will run out so it has to be done though. There are only so many rounds inside of one of those.

Chuck Norris will come out of a gun-battle unscathed even though being outnumbered considerably. However, immediately afterward, a woman throwing a garbage can lid can cause him to become defensive and apprehensive.

reply

Chaos going on all around Chuck Norris and he does not even get a cut or bruise during this film at all.

I learned that Chuck Norris can totally sense when and where violence is going to happen.

reply

Its dangerous to make love on a secluded beach at nighttime, you never know when a combined Cuban/Soviet invasion may take place
Be careful who you snort cocaine with, you may get a straw slammed up your nose.
The Florida national Guard can repel a combined Soviet/Cuban invasion of the USA
Rostov has little love for Cuban women
Chuck will let you know when its time to die.

reply

A suitcase full of explosives put in the stairs of a church is expected to blow the entire building but when recovered by Chuck Norris and thrown into the middle of four terrorists as the same effect of a grenade...

...hum, maybe he took out the rest of the explosives so he could watch the explosion only 5 meters upside? Not that it matters...Chuck Norris use huge nuclear blasts to clean the teeth...

reply

When a terrorist driving a truck grabs a woman and drives one-handed, no matter how many bumps or cars he hits, how fast he goes or how many times Chuck Norris slams his truck, dude will not let go of chick...until sassy reporter easily pulls her into Chuck's car.

Sassy reporter just happens to show up at almost every place the terrorists strike and where Chuck Norris happens to show up. That way she can cuss him out for saving her life.

Chuck Norris's pickup can be rammed though a mall and shot at multiple times but keeps on truckin' so to speak. Now that's quality!

Also he apparently went back to the mall to retrieve it from the store he impaled with it after chasing the bad guys in a stolen Mustang because he's driving it again in a later scene.

Chuck Norris has the ability, much like the end of Commando with Arnold and the grand finale of Rambo III with Sly, to totally avoid being shot or even grazed even though he's totally surrounded by bad guys all firing point blank range at him with automatic weapons.
