What does /tv/ think of The Purge series? I've never seen any but I have to admit the trailer for the most recent one has got me curious. Still seems a stupid idea, but the weirdly political angle of the most recent one looks interesting.

Man it would be great it we got a Donald trump cameo of him running as president for his second term or something.

Too bad he wouldn't do since people would take it seriously

I liked the concept more when it was done by Takashi Miike. Far less edgy despite being more grimdark.
>>
First was overhyped gargage- "Look at all this crazy shot going on outside! Our movie takes place in this house with 5 characters!"

Second was okay.

Can't be edgy when you've got a musical number.
Watch Zebraman 2 bro. It's the truest form of """""""""""Capekino""""""""""".

It would make a great tv show. Give it a 24 gimmick where each season focuses on different characters from different parts of the country. Each episode is an hour in the purge we see how these different people handle it.
>>
>>69765463
Which movie of Miike's uses this concept?
>>
>>69765285
Might help his campaign honestly. Normies eat these movies right up, hence why a third one is being made. Is this a subtle what would you do in a purge thread op? I'm down.
>sell house and 99% of assets
>move to Kansas or some flyover state in a low population zone
>hide in basement with shotgun and Bible
Id probably die the first purge if I heard a kid crying or screaming. Even if it was bait I'd go for it; I couldn't just cower and listen while a child screamed for help.

Aah okay, thanks.

I haven't seen either Zman by him, but I love his films so I'll check it out soon.

>>69765601
OP here, after seeing the first trailer I couldn't help but think that if you wanted to do anything to actually fuck with America, like a terrorist act or a foreign attack, the purge is basically the perfect time. The entire country basically chooses to spend 12 hours shitting itself and unable to do anything? Launch an invasion or cyber attack or something.

I hope Trump makes the purge universe real.
>>
>>69765823
If someone fires a nuke at the US is everyone just OK with it as long as it's within the 12 of the purge?
>>
>>69765823
They should touch on what other countries are up to during the purge or our military. Are they just mass raping sand people for the night?
The thing that makes ZERO sense to me (aside from the property damage and body cleanup being viable) is no fire department. There would have to be those water helicopters everywhere or there would just be a nationwide holocaust because some retard threw a Molotov wrong and lit up a neighborhood. That on top of the purposeful fires from pyromaniacs would just be too much I would think.

Why does it matter that bombs and killing politicians are off-limits if there aren't any cops
>>
>>69765980
Bylaws include, no use of WMD, political officials are off limits.
>>
>>69766075
right, but what's the point of those bylaws if no one's around to enforce them
>>
>>69766047
Pretty sure that's the plot of the new one dude. Their security force goes down and the politician lady is in the streets with everyone. As for presidents and stuff they probably have a VIP shelter with cameras and child sex slaves
>>
>>69766096
That's fair, I guess. I'm more confused about the bomb law though. Or really why they'd make the bylaws in the first place.
>>
I wonder when trashy exploitation movies like this were being released in their 70s and 80s heyday (especially stuff like Turkey Shoot and Death Race 2000), if people got caught up arguing the plausability of their concepts, or if they just reveled in the trashy carnage then moved on.

Most trashy exploitation movies didn't do that well anyway. Or at least got bad reviews. People crucified those Death Wish movies, for instance.
>>
>>69766091
The running theme of these movies, going by the trailers, seems to be that the purge is just an authoritarian government trying to reduce the number of poor people in the country. Its not really 'no rules', its actually just a closed arena for the poor people to kill each other in. Hell Rick and Morty did an episode that pretty much summed all this up.
>>
you cant do whatever you want.
im pretty sure they ban certain weapons from being used.
you can basically buy a gun and go kill cunts, or just roam the streets smashing shit.
id say the military at that time is prepared for full scale war if anyone tried anything.

third movie also makes fuck all sense
>shes is political target
>stays in america for the one night where people are legally allowed to try and kill her
go to canada for 12 hours. youd be fine.

so far movies have been great
>good concept
>10/10 costumes
horror has been on point, I prefer horror when its a killer not some faggot ass ghost, so for me its been great.

second one started off great, but then it got political. and this one looks political. it ruins it. they should do a miniseries.
10 episodes about one purge night in the eyes of different people
>rich people's mansion gets attack by thugs
>dirt poor family fight people who come in
>group decides to go out and fight people purging
>group decides to purge
>teen couple get stranded and need to run away
>some guy captures and tortures people
>the day after clean up, including all the drug fucked people who are still going and how the cops need to take them down.
>>
Japan Purge movie when?
>fat neets walking around the streets wearing their anime mask
>katana everywhere
>someone filming snuff porn

>>69766091
Well, for one thing an external force attempted to use a nuclear weapon
>average person will choose to hide in a bunker for the evening
>be a missile combat crewman
>your job gives you a prime bunker
>your job gives you the ability to utterly fuck another country's day
>nuclear launch detected
>everyone other technician squatting at their job site responds with the necessary missile defense/laser systems and proceeds to ICBM the shit out of Ivan/Jews/Nork/or whoever was dumb enough to pick a fight with the most armed country exercising their 2nd amendment in the most ridiculous way possible
Presumably the bylaw is more about guaranteeing you're going to have a real shit morning after if you choose to do a one man coup.
>>
>>69765242
>shoot a guy at 11:40 pm
>he doesn't bleed out and die until 12:05 am
Do you go to prison for murder? (Probably not the accurate purge times; think maybe 6 am was when it ended?)
>>
>>69766091
ohh people are around

>no other country would try to invade because theyd also get nuked
>millitary bases and govt building would be armed to the teeth and anyone that tries would get squashed.
now think about it, go to any big city, every other cunt will re-enforce their door and sit there with a shotgun and if anyone tries they will get blown the fuck out. this is the same for most communities.
any white neighbourhoods you wouldnt even need to lock your door, youd have a strong community patrol that would curb stomp any minority that tried anything.

you're only fucked if you go outside where gangs and punks just roam around killing each other. 1/10,000 will be unlucky and have some weird cunts break into their house and kill them, even then you'd be armed and you'd take out half of them.

it would be the most dangerous night, everyone would be on edge, armed, trigger happy and ready to kill.
fuck that, unless you had a loyal group of friends willing to run around the streets with youd lock yourself in a room with a gun, and anyone that tries to enter gets BTFO
>>
What happens to prisons? Do they just open all the cell doors and let them go ham? Would there even be guards there?
>>
>>69766624
Hunger Games
>>
>>69766624
They gas the entire prison minus guards. Save the taxpayers a couple bucks
>>
>>69766544
i could see white enclaves setting up neighbourhood watches adn building barricade walls around their neighbourhood for the night
>>
The first one is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Didn't bother with the second one.
>>
>>69766624
i dont think there is prisons in the purge world? america that is. i think the laws are so severe that any crimes that are not comitted on purge night is punishable by death
>>
>>69765242
Bryce?
>>
>>69765242
The purge would of worked better as a tv series.
>>
>>69766544
no because you get fucked by your daughters BF trying to kill you in order to secure the ability to date her
>>
I want that hottie politicians to get railed by everyone
>>
>>69765242
It's always been vaguely political.

Last one outright stated they're doing this to kill off niggers and the homeless.
>>
>>69765242
Im sure this has been said but,

Purge 1 was pretty forgettable.
Purge 2 was fucking amazing for me because i just pictured it as a punisher movie.

Punisher walking around during a purge is probably the coolest thing ever.
