This is a couple years old, but I’m not sure how much exposure it got, so I’m presenting it here. Still funny as hell.

The original version:

The amped up version:

The song used, as if you didn’t know, is America, Fuck Yeah* from Team America: World Police.

* Warning: contains coarse language ;)

Bad Cops

The movie trailer for Bad Cops, starring James Whittingham and Kevin Allardyce. Not bad for a local cable access show from the 90s, eh?

This movie is based on and gets its name from a P. D. James novel. It’s about a dystopian near-future world where all the women have become infertile, but no one seems to know why. Possible causes hinted at are genetic experimentation, disease, nuclear fallout or radiation, gamma rays, and global warming (okay, I made that last one up).

The majority of the movie is about Clive Owen’s character who gets caught up in a plot devised by his ex-wife turned rebel leader which involves smuggling a woman out of the country, her importance being that she has become pregnant and could mean a new beginning for the human race. The problem is the government has imposed strict laws making it illegal to be an immigrant, and the country is on the verge of being thrust into a civil war.

This was a very good movie. I like these kinds of near-future, post-apocalyptic, dystopian stories. I also like most things that have Clive Owen in them, so that might also have something to do with it. There’s a very powerful scene quite near the end of the movie, also.
