|Although most ''Die Hard'' movies were largely politically neutral, this film portrays the CIA in a positive light, and in addition both the main and surprise villains are unrepentant former Soviet communists who intended to access Cold War-era weapons grade uranium and sell them on the black market, and was also pro-family due to John McClain trying to reconnect with his son Jack. The villains are also depicted as being anti-American. Despite this, however, it was largely a box office failure, and also has fairly weak story elements.

|Michael Jordan uses the help of beloved animated children's characters, the Looney Tunes, from the 1950s (a simpler time in America's history) to beat back alien invaders from outer space who wish to take away our freedoms.

|Michael Jordan uses the help of the Looney Tunes to beat back alien invaders from outer space who wish to take away their freedoms. Though the film hints at an anti-illegal immigration message, it suffers from messy animation and a lack of substance, and it is often cited as feeling more like a commercial than a film.

|Loosely based on the classic video game series from Nintendo, two fraternal plumbers from New York must rescue the younger's girlfriend from humans descended directly from dinosaurs. It has a pro-Second Amendment message in that an old lady, before mugging them, explicitly states the titular characters need to have a weapon to survive on the streets of Dinohattan (a parody of Manhattan depicted as a lawless hellhole). Furthermore, the movie seems to condemn communistic/fascistic big government in the form of King Koopa (a human-looking dictator loosely based on Bowser, the turtle-dragon hybrid who serves as the main villain of most Super Mario games), as the aforementioned lawlessness of Dinohattan was heavily implied to be due to King Koopa, in a similar manner to Scar from ''The Lion King'', using liberal values and big government to grossly mismanage the location to such an extent that they were running out of resources after taking over Dinohattan via a coup and "reforming" it into a people's republic with false elections. It also is to some extent anti-evolution and anti-social Darwinism: although the backstory does involve dinosaurs evolving into humanoid creatures since they were sent to a separate dimension from that of humans, the villains are the ones who largely focus on this aspect and want to eliminate true humans. However, the film was also largely panned and did poorly at the box office, and it is considered one of the more infamous examples of how difficult it is to make video game adaptation film.

The aforementioned lawlessness of Dinohattan is heavily implied to be caused by King Koopa's using liberal values and big government (à la Scar from ''The Lion King'') to grossly mismanage the location to such an extent that they ran out of resources after taking over Dinohattan via a coup and "reformed" it into a people's republic with false elections.

However, the film was also largely panned and did poorly at the box office, and it is considered one of the more infamous examples of the inherent difficulties of adapting a video game into a film. Effectively, ''Super Mario Bros.'' scared Nintendo into never allowing the West to make another film based on any one of its game franchises and ruined the careers of co-directors Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel. Production of the film took its toll on the actors, too, particularly Bob Hoskins (Mario), who suffered seven injuries and near-fatalities in the process.
