Catman prefers movies where the camera is held level.

That'd be DIRTY HARRY. Such a well made action picture makes it easy to forgive the simplistic political posture.
GOLDFINGER a right-leaning movie? How? (Seems pretty apolitical to me.) |

Those were right leaning movies? I wouldn't have thought to label them so.
Um... I guess... no, I can't think of one. I guess I don't really think of movies as leaning to a particular side in American politics.

The Chinese characters evidently don't know about not attracting attention by wearing stereotypical clothing. Mr Bond meanwhile seduces Pussy Galore by forcing himself on her, and she submits. |

I guess I don't really think of movies as leaning to a particular side in American politics. I forgot Iron Eagle, that goes further by having Doug fulfilling his wish to bomb that "shitty country". 👍 Way I see em: Goldfinger swaps the book's Russian sponsors of Goldfinger for Chinese who think undercover means wearing clothes. Bond also forces himself on Pussy. It doesn't quite go into the book version where she is suddenly cured of Lesbian. 😀 For Your Eyes Only is the first one where working against the Eastern Bloc is a major focus instead of a brief prologue or having the Chinese involved. Octopussy goes further into Cold War paranoia with the mad Soviet general with dreams of conquering NATO. We get another bit of forceful submission, Indian stereotypes, German stereotypes, and a nice racial joke when Bond hands Indian agents some of the money he wins at baccarat, and makes a joke about keeping them in curry. Rambo 3 -Rambo vs the Soviets. Again. The Russians are sadistic child-slaughtering rapists, the Afghan guerillas, who were in the right's good books, are noble gallant brave people. 😇 I picked this one as the previous one has an anti-government thread that offsets the balance a bit. The Delta Force -No PC bullshit here, Chuck and Lee battle evil, sadistic Muslim terrorists. And this film really ramps up the hatred for them, making us want to see their sadistic scumbag asses blown sky high. Red Dawn -A favourite of NRA members. Wolverines!!! Rocky IV -Rocky takes on the emotionless Soviet dragon! Dirty Harry -No criminals have rights nonsense. Just blow them away. Or torture them. 👍 Cobra -Same thing but with a more Rambo approach. 😀 |

It made a change from SPECTRE, but I always wondered why not SPECTRE? Dr No wasn't a SPECTRE agent in the books, neither were Grant and Rosa Klebb. Instead we get pyjama-clad Communist Chinamen supporting Goldfinger. Interesting is that this came out a month before China first tested a nuke. |

These films are often dubbed "right wing" and "fascist" by patronizing critics. 👍 I was wondering if they really are that right wing. |

TV show rather than a movie, but 24.

Regarding Red China (as it was commonly known) as an adversary in 1964 was the uncontroversial mainstream perspective and wouldn't tag anyone as "right-leaning." And Bond's sexual aggressiveness can make for some interesting discussions about changing views on sex in society and pop culture, but it certainly wasn't the product of right wing politics.

If by "right leaning" you mean macho induced, gun crazed action films, then I do quite like "Predator"

"Octopussy" as right-leaning? I don't see it. It was more about a British agent trying to prevent a nuclear war between the USSR and the USA. On a side note, the movie depicted its American characters as incompetent and hokey.
