Mission Eh? Possible

Today’s question is aboot Canada’s rich tapestry of cinematic excellence. Raven Perez wants to know what our favourite action movie is! Well, taste in any kind of art form is subjective of course, but one action film that did very well in Canada was Mission Eh? Possible! It was full of chases, kidnappings, snowball fights, and even had a torture scene where Eat Then Hunt was forced to lick a frozen flagpole! Imagine! It all turns out all right in the end for the hero, of course, but the tension doesn’t ease up until the dramatic plot twisting finale! And no, I won’t tell you what it is, but I will say that it involves a lobster.

But oh! The scandal! After weeks at #1 in the box office, it came out that the producers of the film had simply made another Canadian version of an American film! They substituted Canadian things in for the American ones to appeal to our audiences! For a few days there was rioting in the street (because as we all know there is only one street in Canada), and then we all cooled off (inevitable in the Great White North) and thought aboot it. We realized that hey, it may be a Canadianized version, but it’s still some good movie! So we all said “Sorry!” and went back to the theaters to watch it some more. –Duncan
