What says "feel-good patriotic thing" more than Mel Gibson taking a hatchet to that blokes grill?

True. 2 aussie's killing redcoats is what the Revolutionary War was all about.

Accent wasn't quite so weak in the Road Warrior. Either he was faking it in australia or it's gotten diluted since he's been back in the states.

First Blood. That's just a feel-good movie about the US military. Oh, wait...
