    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the special features, it mentions that the attack on the White House was planned by former Secret Service agents who were asked how they would attack it if they had to.
    • Goofs
      Mike hasn't been to the White House in 18 months, yet all of the lock codes are the same.
    • Quotes

      Mike Banning: [to Kang] Why don't you and I play a game of fuck off. You go first.

    • Alternate versions
      The edited for TNT/TBS cable TV version aside from the usual language and violence edits most notably hackneys its edit for the part where Mike (Gerard Butler) stabs Kang (Rick Yune) in the head. Instead, the viewer witnesses Mike about to stab and then it cuts straight to Kang's body ceasing to move making it unclear that Kang was stabbed let alone where.

    focuses much on action and forget the script, more if you like action movie, this may please you

    Olympus Has Fallen is another film that focuses more on action than on the script , at least the action scenes are fun to watch , plus the script sins with many errors , the steering gets far more in the course of the film he loses control , the cast is interesting , is Gerard Butler who is making more action films , he's fine , have Aaron Eckhart which is good, and the excellent Morgan Freeman 's fine too , the special effects are competent , the action scenes are good , the plot is simple , the soundtrack is average , you do not notice it much , Olympus Has Fallen is no better action movie in done, more is far from bad, the action scenes are cool. Note 6.9
