"Now, what is happening in South Africa does not help either. SA cities are currently the most violent cities in the world. Since 1994 when ANC took over, over 500,000 (according to some sources 800,000) people have been murdered. The current murder rate is 56 a day, 147 rapes per day. Theft and other crimes - impossible to count. American cities such as Detroit, St Louis, or Washington, DC are as safe as granny's ole house compared to SA cities. Over 3,000 white farmers in SA have been butchered since 1994, including women and children, in over 6,000 attacks on farms. That's almost as many as the number of people killed by the apartheid during its 40 year rule (3,800), and those were not defenseless farmers."
Finally, someone tells the truth. I recently visited South Africa and let me tell you, any white resentment towards the blacks is well-earned.

You're absolutely right. Unfortunately, the media sweeps all of this under the rug while making heroes of murdering scum like Mandela. Don't expect the truth from the media, the entertainment industry or what I call the academic industry. They're all controlled by the left.

For American whites it's common sense really. According to US statistics a black man is 56 times more likely to commit a violent crime than a white man. So it takes 56 white men to commit as much crime as one black man. Since 1960s blacks have killed over 56,000 white people in racial murders, compared to about 3,000 of white on black murders. That's as many people as died in the Vietnam war. So don't be surprised that when US whites go to South Africa they eye all blacks as potential murderers, rapists, muggers or thieves. This view is slowly changing but it's up to the blacks to improve this image, not up to the whites who show only normal human reactions (which in medias is called "racism").

Excellent post. That's not the sort of facts the mainstream media will tell you. -

I agree that a lot of if not most American movies are completely dumbed down and stupid. Occasionally though a gem comes up.
But people in general tend to be pretty stupid no matter where they are from, and stupid people demand stupid movies.
To the first poster on this thread- you complained about how this director portrayed South Africans but you failed to give him credit for portraying the CIA as Heroin traffickers in the first one. (Albeit he made the distinction of referring to the bad guys as "mercenaries".) Really sequels should be done away with (Road Warrior being one exception- but Thunderdome was complete rubbish). This movie pretty much sucked and South Africa should rest easy knowing they weren't cast in a dismal light in a movie that anyone with half a brain could take seriously. -

Honest question for you, StuSenrab, since you're from South Africa. I assume the movie was not released there in 1989. Did it hit movie theaters after 1994? Were official VHS tapes stopped from entering the country as well? If so, were bootlegs distributed under the radar before or after 1994?
I ask because I grew up in the 80's in a developing country with a military government that heavily censored movies, TV, books, etc. Bootlegs were the norm for every "cultural product" that the regime viewed as a threat. -

This thread is great! The Afrikanners fight back!
I don't think this film is in any way implying that
all
South African whites are racist. Clearly there are plenty of non-Dutch whites in SA right
But seriously, it's just a movie dude. They are just fictional bad guy "characters" who happen to be South African. The hot white chick they were with wasn't an evil racist and she was South African?
Let me guess, after watching
Once Were Warriors
you thought all Kiwis were violent drunks who beat their wives?
