By now, you’re probably sick of hearing ‘Olympus Has Fallen‘ described as “Die Hard in the White House.” Fair enough. If you’d like the chance to win an action thriller in which a lone underdog hero is trapped in a confined location (that happens to be where the President lives) with a bunch of terrorists, enter our contest today.
Oh, allow me to be more specific, since there were two of these this year. If you’d like the chance to win an action thriller in which a lone underdog hero (played by Gerard Butler) is trapped in a confined location (that happens to be where President Aaron Eckhart lives) with a bunch of terrorists, enter our contest today.
OK, got it? Good. To win a copy of the Blu-ray, all you have to do is participate in our photo caption contest by giving us a funny or clever caption for the following image. Click to enlarge:
For example: “Don’t look, but I think General McCreepypants is stalking us.”
We have one copy of the Blu-ray to give away. The winner will be chosen at our own subjective discretion based on whichever responses we enjoy the most. Entries are limited to 10 per person. That should give you plenty of opportunity to craft a good submission, but will also help us to avoid any potential appearance of awarding prizes based on volume rather than quality. (Please heed this limit. You will be taken out of consideration if you submit more than 10 entries.) All entries must be submitted in the Comments section of this blog post. Please do not attempt to email them to me.
This contest is only open to entrants from the domestic United States. We will not ship internationally (whether you’re a U.S. citizen or not). Employees of High-Def Digest or Internet Brands and their families are not eligible. Standard contest rules and conditions apply. People who have won any of our previous contests within the past one year are also not eligible to win, but may get Honorable Mentions.
The deadline for entry is Friday, August 16th. The winners will be announced the following week. Good luck!

Yes…. I do have to rely on a flip of a coin for this job!

You never know who could be watching us right now…CIA, NSA, FBI, or some HDD blog making potty jokes at our expense!

Colonel Smith back there is politely requesting you buy $500 worth of girl scout cookies from his kids. I suggest you do it.

“Um…this is kind of awkward. I’m not sure what’s he’s trying to listen to. Could you kindly tell the General that those are ventilation shafts and not in-wall speakers?”

He started it!! I told him it was my turn to play President and he just got all mad!
Michael Peters
I won’t tell you what happened in the restroom, but I have to say… it’s about to get very awkward in here!

You liked The Phantom Menage, really?

So let me get this straight, you’re tell me that the North Koreans BELIEVE that the Speaker
and Congress will meet their demands in order to save my life?!
The North Koreans DON’T know that over half of all Republicans believe I’m not born in the U.S., that I’m a Communist, and a Muslim.

Eckhart: Screenwriter, I need to talk to you.
Writer: Yes, Aaron?
Eckhart: Look, I know we’re about to shoot Gerald Butler crawling out those giant ventilation shafts, but I really insist that we consider a rewrite.
Writer: Aaron you think it would be too much of a rip-off with the roof-top-helicopter scene AND crawling through the ventilation shaft, too?
Eckhart: I appreciate that you already took out the scene of Butler running over glass while shoeless, but yes, this too.

Eckhart: ” I really think my president should have a cool one liner like Harrison Ford did in Air Force One. How about, ‘get out of my bunker you damn dirty terrorists’ or,’ I hate Korean food!’ This one’s even better then Bruce’s yippe ki yay! ‘ YEE HAW CABRONES!’ ”
The Admiral’s face says it all!

Were you really in an episode of Beverly Hills 90210. What were you thinking?

What’s my line again?
I’m the President that Gotham needs, but doesn’t deserve?? I forget.
I’m the white knight or was it dark meat? That doesn’t sound right.
I’m the face of justice for this country, and if Olympus falls then the people don’t have an ideal, something elemental, a symbol that makes me more, more than… who writes this cr*p?

Aide: “Don’t turn your head and look, but that tall Asian security guy who came in with the South Korean President…”
President: “The one adjusting his glasses?”
Aide: “Yeah him, well General McCreepypants was making small talk with him, and commented how he couldn’t get that Gangnam Style song out of his head.”
President: “So? Get to your point.”
Aide: “Well, that Asian guy had NO IDEA what the General was talking about. He acted like he never heard of Gangnam Style. And what’s the one place that is most isolated from cultural phenoms from South Korea? So he must be…”
Together: “a double agent from North Korea!”

“Cut! That’s a wrap for this set. Okay, Korean bad guy, you over there, yes you. You’re going outside to wander the halls of the White House, and you’ll run into Gerard Butler. Once you run into Gerard, you’re gonna cower and speak in a honky, white-trash American accent. The audience will be amazed that you lost your evil Fu Manchu accent. You beg for your life, calling Gerard a terrorist and to not shoot you. Gerard is gonna believe you’re just a good ol’ American boy.”
“And after that, we’re gonna shoot the scene with the black chauffeur waiting in the White House parking lot with a limo…”
