Didn't the cockfighting bother anyone?

First of all the chickens where CGI (it obvious if you look) and I'm sure that cockfights are a regular occurrence in Bolivia and other countries because they don't have very strict animal protection laws.
blowing up the kids in the chopper is a very important part of the story, it helps to make you hate Max. kinda like the "No Russians" level in Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2. (I'm not a COD fan but I'm just giving a example.)
If there was anything "bad" in this movie the MPAA would have given it a R rating. -

What did you expect the Losers to do? Sell themselves. Like you said they're the good guys, so gambling was pretty much the only way they could make money, aside from getting jobs which they did. I assume they used the money they earned from working to gamble in order to get back home.

Seriously? Your complaint about the movie is the cockfights? That has to be one of the dumbest pc complaints possible. If anything the cockfight brought realism to the characters and showed them to be real people not some wannabe superheroes with fake morals.

I thought the cock fighting scene was one of the more interesting parts of the film. It brought back memories of a few cock fights I had the pleasure of attending many years ago when I spent a short time in Louisiana. I will never forget watching as a local sheriff's deputy in full uniform stood in the fighting pit ready to unleash his bird.
It is also worth noting that the cocks that lost were immediately being cleaned, later to be served up as delicious southern fried chicken. Under those circumstances, I don't personally see anything wrong with cock fighting. If I was a chicken, I would much rather go down as a fighting cock with a chance in the ring than simply having my head lopped of and thrown into a cooking pot. -

What about the woman who was shot for losing her balance while holding the umbrella? As heartless as it sounds, blowing up innocent people in hopes of killing a target at least has an upside; killing that woman was done just for effect. Unneeded. Max was a bastarto, sure, but that scene made him a maniac.

I always though another part of the reason he shot her was because he was talking about highly sensitive matters with her in ear shot the whole time. Almost like he was willing, and planned the whole time, to sacrifice a human life just so he can have some shade while he talked about his treasonous plots.

I think there's worse things than watching and betting on a cockfight. I don't support animal cruelty, but you can do worse things to an animal, or just do in general.
Besides, it allowed them to blend in with the locals. It was good cover. -

You're complaining about cockfighting? Really? They are fvcking chickens. My god what has happened to the world? Some type of animal lover I guess. I'll rebember this when deer hunting next season. Freak.
