That guy only fought off terrorists aboard AF1.

The other guy defeated aliens wanting to wipe out all life on Earth.

Technically it was cousin Eddie, the fresh Prince, and "must go faster" that defeated the aliens….

That president just gave a good speech….

Now if Harrison Ford was the president going against aliens….

For real? That would have helped, but still...

All I know is Whitmore and James Marshall are the two best movie presidents ever, and they both happen to be fighter pilots who help take down the bad guys and also happened to come out in back-to-back years.

I also love Battle:Los Angeles. I can watch both every time they air on TV.

Did you forget the part where the President strapped on an F-18 and was part of an attack on the alien ship?

---

nope….shoots two useless rockets at the mother ship….one hits the shield the other hits the hull…..

Shoots one little alien ship…..

And shoots at the big teal hole and misses…..

Harrison Ford all the way!!!!

Marshall was a Medal of Honor recipient….

My fellow Bellaire High grad Randy Quaid is the true hero of Earf.

He participated at least. Pretty good representation of the generation growing up at the time.

He tried. And that's what counts in life. Give that man a trophy!

I will now recreate my longtime ID4 rant about how much the rest of the world sucks.

It's when we start using Morse code to tell the other countries about the weakness of the shields and we get this scene in the desert between the brown guys and the white guys being pals

"It's from the Americans. They want to organize a counteroffensive!
It's about bloody time ! What do they plan to do?"





ITS ABOUT BLOODY TIME?
WHAT THE **** HAVE YALL BEEN DOING?
We launched attack squadrons at their giant ship over LA, we dropped nukes on my beloved Houston, one of our guys SHOT DOWN ONE OF THEIR SHIPS AND CAPTURED THE ALIEN, and one of our scientists, who works at a frigging CABLE COMPANY figured out their signal and their weaknesses.

Now we got cuppa tea mcGee getting a suntan in the desert with the *********NERVE to say it's about bloody time for the US to launch a counter offesnive?

Once we killed the aliens, we should have been 1945 Russia and just kept on taking **** from the rest of the world if they're so weak ass that they have to wait for us to hold their hand before they go fight the aliens.

Haha this is incredible. Got me amped the F up. So true too…never even noticed that but now won't be able to not notice.

when you go back and watch "Independence Day" it is full of more logical plot holes than swiss cheese

jeff goldblum and his dad are trying to get to the White House from New York DURING AN ALIEN INVASION and it took them 23 minutes..

it took me 5 hours with relatively no traffic on a summer saturday morning.

id say an even bigger one is will smith randomly deciding to steal a helicopter to find his wife in the middle of nowhere…..and then finds her in the middle of nowhere who just happens to find the presidents wife….

Will Smith knocks the Alien wearing a bio suit out with one punch then turns his back on it to smoke a cigar without verifying the thing is dead then all of those incredibly intelligent Doctors and Scientists didn't have the sense to strap down the arms and legs of the Alien when cutting the biosuit off despite almost certainly having the knowledge that all Will Smith did is punch it in the face.

The only logic break that bugs me is when the El Toro commander has to ask if the incoming aircraft are friendly. Because you sent out like 50 jets and now there are 3 million coming back.

Worth it for the shot of the cigar falling out of his mouth

I was always surprised that none of the fire followed Boomer when he jumped into the magically convenient side door in the tunnel.

He didn't find her in the middle of nowhere. They are literally at his base, El Toro. Will Smith had told her to grab her things and come stay with him on the base, so he went there to see if there was a chance she made it.

Yall really need to pay more attention in movies.

---

you mean the base he was told that was completely destroyed before he left to go there?

Yeah…it's a plot hole….

Especially before the fight where they get their butts kicked they're flying over Los Angeles and smith says, "I shouldn't have left her" and not, "nah I'm sure she's fine and at the base I literally just left from but for some reason didn't see"

Plot hole….

I wanted nothing more than my computer to greet me by name at startup

lol at arguing over plot holes of Independence Day. The whole damn movie is a giant plot hole.

Hey! All cable repair men can triangulate the exact position of any person on earth using 90s technology and don't you forget it!

Could a 90s computer virus even affect a current MacBook?

Aliens probably use 90's computers to run their most important infrastructure because they spent all their money on death ships and armies and IT was given the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" treatment

I remember reading somewhere that the mass from all the falling debris from the spaceships likely would have wiped out all of humanity.

Absolutely. Many times over for the events of the movie really.

Something the size of the mothership expending enough energy to slow down next to earth would have fried or otherwise blasted us and our atmosphere away.

Hovering or orbiting around earth would have caused catastrophic tidal effects. Tsunamis, volcanoes, earthquakes, hell the surface of earth would start to strip away towards the ship based on its size and distance.

The invasion ships crashing would have been disastrous, I don't remember how big they were but the asteroid that killed the dinos was less than 10 miles across. Several of those things and you're toast.

Then the mothership exploding would have finished us off 100%. Somehow a single nuke which would otherwise have barely scratched the surface of something that big, caused it to explode. Some kind of catastrophic chain reaction I guess. But the force of the explosion alone, and then much of that much mass coming back down, would have reduced the planet to ancient lava world conditions. The entire surface solely molten rock. We'd need comets and asteroids blasted off during the apocalypse to reseed life because earth would be completely sterile.

Never realized how many Communists posted here, tearing apart the greatest version of America that has ever existed.
