Body Count in Blighty: A Statistical Breakdown of "London Has Fallen"
Ah yes, "London Has Fallen," the action flick where Gerard Butler single-handedly saves the world (well, most of it) from a terrorist attack during a fancy Prime Minister's funeral. But amidst the explosions, car chases, and inspirational speeches, a crucial question arises: just how many world leaders bit the dust in this cinematic catastrophe? Buckle up, conspiracy theorists and trivia buffs, because we're about to dissect the body count with the precision of a brain surgeon... wielding a chainsaw.
The Fallen Five: A Rogues' Gallery of World Leaders Who Met Their Match (Literally)
- The British Prime Minister (RIP): We open the film with this unfortunate soul already six feet under. Talk about a bad week for Downing Street.
- The Japanese Prime Minister (Gulp!): Thanks to some creatively placed explosives, this leader took an unplanned submarine tour of the Thames.
- The French President (Boom!): A strategically timed bomb on the River Thames said "bonjour" to the French leader's political career (and possibly a few nearby pigeons).
- The Italian Prime Minister and First Lady (Crushed Dreams!): A falling bell tower courtesy of the bad guys ensured this couple's marital bliss wouldn't last "til death do us part."
- The German Chancellor (Not So Slick, Nick!): Infiltrating security disguised as a Queen's Guard, a terrorist ended the German Chancellor's reign with a well-placed bullet.
So there you have it, folks: a body count of five world leaders. That's a pretty significant international incident, even by Hollywood standards.
But Wait, There's More! The Near Misses Club
Let's not forget the lucky few who dodged a bullet (or a bomb, or a collapsing bell tower). President Asher of the US (cue dramatic music): Our hero, Mike Banning, ensured the American leader lived to fight another (presumably less explosive) day.
Moral of the Story? Don't Accept a Funeral Invitation from the British Government.
