Portrayal of South Africans

I have added the section on the portrayal of white South Africans in the film once again. I consider it to be relevant information that can be verified by confirming that the facts mentioned about the emblems and accents and suchlike are actually correct (which they are). Foreign audiences get the wrong idea about pre-1994 South Africa too easily from movies such as this. Please discuss before just removing the section again. Oom Kosie 00:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the following block of text:

The South Africans arrive towards the start of the film when a foreign man is driving a car full of Krugerrands and he gets caught by the police. Krugerrands are like the British pennies, but a South African equivalent. Their house falls off its stilts and blows up, killing several of the bad guys. The two leading terrorists survive and are found putting drugs back onto a German ship heading for Capetown towards the end of the film. Patsy Kensit's character is shot by one of the terrorists because she was in bed with the enemy, and she is thrown into the sea. Mel fights with one of the bad guys and punches him in the face, and shoots him. Danny's character, seen as an inferior by the villains, shoots the bad guy in the head and saves Mel from bleeding to death.

It starts out synopsis-like, but seems to turn into simply a list of unrelated events. Damien Prystay 00:03, Jul 24, 2004 (UTC)

The South African Government?

As is, the plot section implies that the entire drug operation was ultimately being run by the Apartheid government back in South Africa, with Rudd simply being the chief of the American arm of their opperations. I don't recall ever seeing anything that implied the South African government was behind the drug ring. I always understood the movie to be portraying Rudd as the true head-honcho of the drug ring and he was simply using his diplomatic immunity to protect his side business, but that this use of his immunity was not at all sanctioned by his superiors in Cape Town. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.183.5 (talk) 18:56, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
