DEADLIEST WARRIORS - IRA vs TALIBAN
Jul 11th, 2009 by Conor McCabe
This is just the weirdest thing. It’s the final episode in the series, Deadliest Warrior, where the IRA and the Taliban are pitched in mortal combat. Check out the IRA “experts.” One, Skoti Collins, is listed as an “IRA descendant,” whatever the fuck that means, while the other, Peter Crowe, is a Blues singer/guitarist based in Australia. Skoti’s next gig will be as an orgy vampire in the American TV show, True Blood.
You couldn’t make this up.
Except, erhm, they did.
This show could easily fall into the movie sub-genre of Micksploitation - the Citizen Kane of which is this little beauty - except for one scene where the lads recreate a nail bomb and almost come when talking about the AWESOME! explosion it causes.
A fucking nail bomb. Oh well.
Cheers to Cedar Lounge for the up on this one.
‘Micksploitation’ is right. What an extraordinary programme. In case you’re interested;
