No Armored Presidential Limo?? LOL

I was a big fan of the movie and love action movies like this. However I like the ones that portray accurate security details of presidential and special forces action.

In the beginning of the movie when the POTUS lands and is driven in his motorcade to the funereal his limo has ZERO armor. Cadillac One or "The Beast" is always on site for presidential trips and always with a backup in the motorcade. Both vehicles have 8in thick doors and glass. The SINGLE limo in the movie had regular windows and doors. He would have been fine if that vehicle would have been there. For some reason everyone is leaving this error out. ESP IMDB.

I have no idea how the producers missed this huge error because the beast was in the first movie and was fairly accurate. At least accurate enough to not have me sitting in the middle of watching the movie writing this post on my phone.

There were obviously many other errors but this one got me. Still like the movie tho.

It is armored, but some type of anti-tank torch is attached to the hood with a magnet making the motor useless.

No it's not. Look up Cadillac One, aka the "Beast" on google. You will know what I am talking about and what you are talking about.

The president always rolls with 2 identical Cadillac limos with 8" doors and windows, internal oxygen supply and a bomb proof undercarage. The single limo in the movie had normal windows and doors and was crushed when a car fell on it. The incendiary device obviously prevented the limo from driving but it's not the presidents limo. He would have just got in the backup limo.

Do some research. Also watch the first movie. It has a more realistic version of the Beast when they are driving on the front lawn.

Do some research? No...it's a just movie and a lame one at that. I'll take your word for it.

The recession has affected everyone including the POTUS's automobile section and the London Police force, who it seems has turned to outsourcing to terrorist groups to solve their human resource issues.🐭

There are two because one is leaped frogged to his next destination. The presidential limo was there and was disabled with what looked like a thermite charge that burned through the engine and disabled it.
