launched in

2016

, a real election year. In the US, just so you know, this movie bombed.

Election Year SEO takes place almost two decades after the first two films and shows a country divided in half due to the purge while continuing to show the street level perspective we saw in the election year of anarchy. It also explores the political machinations behind the Purge, raising the stakes from the lives of a few characters to the moral fiber of the United States of America, like the other Purge films. Election year also has an incredibly high body count. Can this populist newcomer of a movie? beat the establishment belco experiment to get the most

kill

s election year kills the movie opens with mark bowling shining before ray davis's low tones take over as This funky purger has a real “What's going on, going down” kind of thing, he explains with some really weird voice acting, delivering my purge playlist.

I thought a lot about it, especially this final melody, since it will be the last song you will hear. He sounds like an exasperated supporting character. The Simpsons, but this guy isn't Gil Gunderson, he's a sadistic home invader who tells the mother of this unfortunate nuclear family that she has to choose the only family member she can live with. The rest are staring bug-eyed to death, as we'll see. Mamarone must have chosen his bespectacled daughter, Charlie, to live with, so I'll go ahead and put the rest of his own family on the score right now, although their deaths don't happen on screen, instead the cold open ends with a card that puts us 18. years in the future, which is a weird fucking choice for me for reasons we'll get to shortly, charlie rohn, who you can tell is the same character because of her glasses, is a senator who runs for president on an anti-purge platform, a popular theme for the public, having learned more about the corruption of the new founding fathers, there are even outspoken anti-purge activists like this guy, Dante Bishop, the character formerly known as Stranger, who is once again played by Edwin Hodge even though he looks the same age, but damn.

Arriving 18 years later, Charlie is played by Elizabeth Mitchell, aka Juliet Burke Sawyer's true love, Don't Kick Me Shippers, running against NFFA ministerial candidate Edward Owens, who sees a report on her growing Poll numbers with the rest of the party in a spectacular portrait of George Washington television By the way, the report mentions that the NFFA has been in power for 25 years, so here is the timeline of the purge: The NFFA wins the election

2016

and begins the purge next year in 2017. The first two movies take place during purges six and seven in 2022 and 2023 and it's now around 2041, making this purge number 25.

I fucking guessed it right, Hey, future James here says that I actually didn't get it right because it turns out that the election year actually takes place 18 years after the 6th. purge the one from the original movie making the year 2040 and the purge on the 24th. Sorry, my bad guy and party boss, Caleb Warrens, has decided to celebrate the silver anniversary of the purge by lifting the restriction on government officials; In other words, this year you could purge a presidential candidate with impunity during a presidential debate in which Owens advocates the purge. Charlie criticizes it as a religion of murder.

The midnight purge mass where our great NFFA leaders gather and slaughter innocence. Actually, when you say it like that, you know how the hell the country is. Even accepting this shit, Charlie Rhone proves to be a populist firebrand who gets the audience on their feet and almost crowdsurfs each other, that kind of behavior is irritating to her boss, security sergeant leo barnes, frank grillo again looks exactly just like he did in anarchy, which again took place 18 years before this, why did they do that if they wanted to use the same characters? How old is leo barnes so you don't think the series is abandoning the ground level view of purge knight charlie's campaign? commented by working class joe dixon, a guy who owns a deli frequented by emt, lainey rucker, played by marcos, betty gabriel joe's assistant from get out, is a huge guy and says she could win if she takes florida, but lainey says no, no, no, no, no, and thinks the senator is full of shit, for his part, Joe likes Charlie, but thinks he's unlikely to win, while the fourth guy in the deli doesn't even pay attention to politics.

I'm thinking about waffles and pussies, that's all I really do. Think actually, Joe gets a call saying that the purge movies need even more commentary on American society, so he hangs up and complies. The damn insurance company just raised the premium on my purge coverage by thousands the day before the damn purge. that money, so he decides to protect the store himself, since his entire livelihood is in it, he wants to protect himself against bad apples like this bad girl, Kimmy and her nameless friend, who like to throw shit and fly, smash their asses , Lainey intervenes in the conflict and she has some street cred being formally known as little death, little deaf, you're my fucking hero, but now Lane is like not doing drugs and staying in school, so kimmy leaves with a serious look despite the announcement about the government.

Officials are fair game. Charlie rejects Leo's suggestion to get a safe house, since it wouldn't be too crowded for her and I just want these two to fuck, talk about the sexual tension. Leo goes to great lengths to secure Charlie's house with another member of his own. Campaign manager Cooper and on the night of the big event Leo closes the house and everyone settles in for some quality purge night programming that reminds viewers that no one is immune tonight must be swept away. Sirens sound throughout our nation's capital as the purge officially begins Charlie pulls Leo away from his security partner Eric or should I say Bluetooth Eric and orders him to have a drink with her just fuck off now the drink is just water but still They open up and talk about their equally tragic backstories.

Leo says he almost made a big mistake on Purge Night and believes in the Senator's mission to get rid of the holiday. Meanwhile, Lainey spends her Purge Night as usual driving around in a van. triage with her friend Dawn looking for people they can help, like this guy who jumps. scares them at their window and oh now there's an arrow in his head, they categorize him as unlikely to live regardless of medical care, they drive around with a shitload of solvents and witness heinous acts of violence as an exhibition guillotine in an alley that seems to claim. is the third victim of the night, those brothers and that alien love it, they also see some metal masked friends driving around with two of their three human hood ornaments looking pretty dead, so let's add another couple to the list here and on the Lincoln Memorial.

Oh come on, who slaughtered all these people? This is a bitch to chicken out, I think I see 16 bodies and if not, let's just pretend that's how many there are since Abel is the 16th president and that's fun at the deli Joe Dixon is on the roof. He clicks, clicks, ready to defend his business from any looters. Marco shows up to promise help and, although Joe says no at first, he may want to reconsider after a rogue electric float finds its way from Main Street to Joe's Avenue. The occupants are Kimmy. and her friends from the party yelling at miley cyrus at full volume and yelling at joe to go get a chocolate bar from her store and then burn the place to the ground margot shoots kimmy in the ear and the girls leave getting engaged Come back later, yeah, maybe let me mark Stay with you, Joe, at Charlie's house.

The boss and Bluetooth Eric are up to some shady shit by manipulating security camera footage and telling other guards to take a break from their duty. A trio of guards outside joined in the death count when they were all shot. in the head along with another trio of guards that Leo sees murdered on security cameras after he quickly discovers the saw 2 style trick the boss was trying to play with the recorded footage, the killers are a group of guys in armor who They wear white and Nazi power. patches that bluetooth eric lets into the house because you know there are very good people on both sides inside, they shoot three other guards who are standing there watching tv, so you know what maybe that's the kind of thing they have on them , leo rushes into action and tells the senator. a vest to wear and tell him they've been betrayed, but a kiss would make things better.

Instead, they go through Leo's secret escape hatch under the rug and emerge into an alley. Now maybe some celebratory lovemaking. No, there's no time for that. Leo has to do it. he pulls out the other little stabbed thing from her and hits a couple of fucking Nazis with it after beating them up. Good job Leo, I hate DC Nazis. Nazi Earl Danzinger is quite angry about the senator's escape and leaves in a huff just before one of his boys sees Charlie and Leo from the window and shoots them, he is able to hit Leo in the shoulder and knocks him down, so Leo He pulls out his cell phone and connects it to a bomb in a briefcase in Charlie's office.

Leo detonates it and kills a handful of people. in the room, including boss Eric Bluetooth and two of the three armored Nazis who were there because we later found out that one of them lived on his way through the streets of DC, which is burning like it's 1812 all over again. Leo and Charlie see a purge of the health services. "The truck tells the people to take out the dead and it seems that they have already collected five bodies, at least that is the number of corpses that are visible to me after the truck drives away, the two flee holding hands just to torture me some more.

We're chased by a drone that looks like it's straight out of a special edition Star Wars movie, but after Charlie intimately whispers to Leo that it's flying right behind them, he shows her that he knows how. use that target gun. Sergeant Leo shows off his shooting skills a little more when they are attacked by a Captain Spalding cosplayer and a trio of his perjured friends, Leo gunning them all down after getting some solid help from them. Charlie with a burning 2x4. What is this? The ecw, but then more costume purgers and Tase show up. What the hell that I read and Charlie knock them out.

These new raiders on this pergy night are some killer tourists who showed up on. a newsreel at the beginning of the film. The rich foreigners who visit America on purge night to take advantage of legal murder. As Americans, we are very excited, I guess it's like us Michiganders who would head to Canada on our 19th birthday to drink legally, only you know, a little more murderous. These flyers with fair weather flags appear in Leo and Charlie's faces right under Joe's street and in the world so that Marcos can make good on his threats of torture, they are lit by the Delhi boys who simply unload their weapons on them In the end, after they all get shot, I count eight bodies on the ground around Leo and Charlie Joe and Marcos approach the senator and the bodyguard to say, Hey, it's okay now, everyone goes back to the deli where Leo assures the area and Charlie thanks his heroic constituents at Joe's house, prompting Marcos to tell him he needs Florida to win like If that hasn't been painfully obvious since we all learned Chad was a hung guy, Charlie wants Leo out jacket and clean the gunshot wound, but he tries to argue that it's okay, not you, you want me to take it.

Get out, yes please, you'll both be much happier. Marcos fixes Leo and then the damn shiny gang returns with more tools, weapons, and pigs to fuck with. Joe calls Lainey for help. She is busy tending to Rondo, the only survivor of an attack. that left five bodies on the ground around their triage van, add them up, add them up, thankfully, after the candy girls rev up their circular saws to start cutting through the deli's metal barriers,Laney gets the message and shows up to save the day. She speeds down the street and just plows through Kimmy and her friend.

The hidden race just kills her friend right away, but Lainey jumps out of her truck with a shotgun to emulate Leo Barnes with a kill streak of her own complete with a side of pork. and an appropriately brutal final shot for Kimmy herself, there goes her bitch face, everyone leaves to go with Lanie in her truck and Joe only agrees to leave his deli unattended after Marcos promises him that they will rebuild it no matter what. cost while driving somehow, Charlie looks out. Your window to see this, I guess it seems more like a dream or something, but anyway we see four more bodies to add to the list hanging from a tree there, then the Nazis flying in a Nazi helicopter tracked the van through the bullet lodged. on Leo's shoulder and opened fire on him with a mounted mini pistol, not a machine gun, as I learned from the last kill count, when the attack is over, we have another body to add to the list, that rondo guy being taken care of by laney the van stops under a freeway overpass to miss the helicopter and don parks near what looks like a crazy medieval style purge fight between gang members leo realizes the bullet must be like They found them, so he starts it and confirms that it's a tracker, that's when those loud fantasy fans see the truck and surround it.

Things are looking pretty bad until Joe gives a whistle that turns out to be a secret access code he knows from his past on the streets, naturally. Open the door safely and make a trade with a guy who just wants medical help for his friend. In exchange, the gang members agree to take the tracer bullet to another location for them, so that when the Nazi ground forces locate it and find it, they also find a bunch of crypts surrounding them, their deaths occurring off-screen. , but they can be heard through headphones worn by Nazi in the sky or the old danziger then lands to find their bodies and confirm the deaths.

Laney and Dawn take everyone underground. Structure that serves as a safe area for four people on the night of the purge. It is led by Dante Bishop, who introduces himself to Charlie Rhone and shows him around while people gape as if they have never seen a presidential candidate before Dante assures Leo that his men will do their thing. It's best to keep them safe, but that doesn't stop Leo from snooping around. He and Charlie end up in a room with a vision board of a murder plot on the wall. Dante's people are seeking to assassinate Minister Owens, the NFA presidential candidate in Our Lady of. church of sorrow where their annual purge mass takes place dante's angel man tells them that they are going to enter the church using old tunnels installed by george washington himself the original founding fathers are about to screw the new founding fathers Now how do you like that?

To Iron Well, Charlie doesn't like that at all and says that he doesn't want to base his presidency on a murder. Their argument is put on pause when security cameras show a bunch of armed government soldiers coming in to clean up all their political enemies. Angel sends Leo and Charlie through a back door and through an alley where they hold hands again. I don't think these two know what they're doing to me, man, they just narrowly avoid a forward-swinging CG blade booby trap. of their faces and also passed a woman sitting calmly on a bench and humming a little song next to a burning body that we can go ahead and add to the warm account, they meet laney at a pre-arranged pick-up location and once inside the van charlie says they have to stop the assassination attempt if he gets murdered he becomes a martyr we lose oh yeah good point charlie hey too maybe put your lips on leo's lips it will be cool if the triage van gets hit sideways by an armored vehicle and charlie is pulled out of it while everyone else continues to laze around, the armored van drives away with his senatorial prize, but luckily laney and the delhi boys promised to help leo get it back and they realize that the They will take before our lady of sorrows. for the nffa purge night mass and that's where earl and his nazi team deliver her to be strapped to a dolly in a sacrificial dress. the finishing touches to her festive appearance are done by nffa page boy harman james, Who seems to spend his free time doing away with the Dementors at the church altar, Minister Edwidge Owens gives an impassioned sermon preaching the benefits of purging and leads his NFA congregation in a song of purging and purification.

Harmon James brings out another guy tied to a doll named Lawrence who, according to the minister, makes a healthy purging sacrifice for them and all their weapons blessed with holy water. Harmon gets the honor of being the first purger of the night and skeletal lick Spiddle stabs Lawrence over and over again with a short sword while Minister Jones gets super fucking in from behind. Him, shit, maybe these two are the ones who need to kiss. Look, they are very interested. He goes ahead and sticks his belly out to the minister. There, Harmon. Yes, that's nice. Outside, at the entrance to the church tunnel.

Leo approaches Dante and tells him that they are gone. On a mission to assassinate but to rescue the senator, the two of them, Laney, the Delhi boys and all of Dante's men go through the tunnels and prepare to attack from various points inside the church, Leo hides behind a security guard and punches Him in the back a couple of times leaving him on the ground silently before sneaking up on another guard on the church balcony who he attacks and I assume kills him, although we only see him throw a punch, just I don't think he. I let that guy live, the minister introduces Charlie Rohn as the next purge sacrifice and everyone goes crazy at the sight, all the members of the group come on stage while the minister blesses Charlie with holy water and the head of the nfa, Caleb Warren, come up. to take the first stab, but just after he finishes blessing America, a nation reborn, Marco fires a rifle from the balcony and shoots Caleb Warrens in the head, killing him and really ruining the whole ultra sacrifice thing that They were in a shootout.

Another really not fun scene to count deaths, but through my close framing it looks like 11 people die during it, including nine security guards, a woman who tries to flee down the hallway, and an nffa press secretary, Thomas, who he tries to stab Charlie while she is on the ground. During all of this, Minister Jones manages to escape with some guards and Harmon James stays calm and picks up a couple of guns before leaving, more nffa guards run out and fill the balcony with an unholy hail of bullets, but after our heroes take cover, listen. New shots are heard followed by silence.

When they look again they see Dante Bishop and his forces standing over the bodies of all those replacement guards and since it looks like they were all killed I'll add 15 kills to the count as I think that's how many guards ran out and They started shooting towards the balcony before everyone took cover. What the hell are they doing up there? I'm just counting all these bodies Dante, it's much easier from a higher point of view, Charlie is freed from his slavery and my otp is reunited before they tell dante that his men have captured the minister, he returns to where he was They have charlie locked up in the process and he passes three more bodies on the ground to add to the cow, these were the men who had been protecting the minister and obviously doing a shitty job, the minister was glad Dante purged him because it's his right as an American Jew, yes, yes, but instead Dante capitulates to the senator's pleas for peace after they encounter a group of purge wannabes. night sacrifices in a back room, Dante and two of his men go out to the parking lot only to be attacked by Earl and his Nazi gang, who manage to kill the two guys Dante is with while wounding him quite badly.

Leo runs out and provides some cover. Fire that allows Dante to get into a car that he heats up wires in a short time, he presses the accelerator to the floor and serves himself a double order of crushed Nazis, killing them by pinning them against the wall. Unfortunately, it did not reach Earl, who shoots at the car. and he kills Dante Bishop, the only person who has been in all three purge movies. He rests in peace. Dante, your character arc gave this trilogy a backbone. Earl runs out of bullets and drops his guns, so Leo puts his on the ground to have a good old fashioned time. knife fight is a cool battle that took them five hours to film and because of frank grillo's mma experience in boxing he did all his own stunts and this and all the other scenes in the movie eventually leo's little puncher allows him to take the lead hone, including a trench punch across Danzinger's cheek, a few more stabs bring Dan Zinger to his knees and with all his strength, Leo finishes off the white supremacist's head with a high kick to the face, killed with a kick.

I didn't see that, upon entering the back room, one of the people Charlie helps rescue makes a frantic run for an exit only to find a pointy-faced Harmon James at the door, who shoots him dead with a shotgun. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster for That guy Harmon also shoots Marcos in the shoulder, but when he goes to shoot Senator Rohn with the gun, Joe gets in the way and the two men exchange gunfire back and forth. , both take a ton of bullets before Harmon dies a saint. shit headshot joe's friends gather around him as he bleeds out and he tells them everything will be fine as long as the senator wins and turns things around by grabbing marcos hand joe dixon succumbs to his injuries and dies like a man who just wanted to protect his deli, but I ended up protecting the most important sandwich of all, the hero that is Senator Charlie Rome, two months after the purge, it's election day and we're finally seeing some development on the sexiest day you've ever seen in dystopian action.

Horror Movie Marcos watches the results come in as an announcer announces Florida for Charlie Rome, which seals the deal and gives him the election, probably because his blue wall stayed, oh, also because it looks like Texas turned blue, that You will practically do it on your first order. The deal is announced as the elimination of the purge while Lainey listens as on her way to check the results she tells Marco that she will come tomorrow to help him fix up the deli some more and then looks at Joe's portrait, resembling a coach, on the wall. Before leaving, the movie ends with Marcos admiring the stars and bars while the news reports violent pro-NFFA protests and fucking David Bowie steps in to sing about how he's afraid of Americans.

Go find that song because it's great and in the meantime, I'll show you these numbers. I voted. 116 people died in the year of the purge election, meaning the Bellco experiment has finally been usurped as the leading champion in death counts. Hell yeah, like all purges, the victims were full of ambiguity. I counted 82 men, eight women and 26 unknowns, which means, as usual, a bunch of dead guys with a runtime of 108 minutes, we actually ended up with one death on average every 56 seconds, what the fuck will I give them? the golden chainsaw to better kill those guillotine victims in the alley? since they're being killed by a guillotine in an alley, that's crazy, a boring machete for less killing can go to Joe since he was killed by a guy who suddenly became the main villain for a minute, go away shit harmon james go write a manifesto on a facebook post and that's it the purge election year came out in 2016 and made the most money of any purge movie so far so we probably have a new one, the first purge, hitting theaters next week, on the 4th of July.

Watch it to support the series and I'll cover it after it comes out on Blu-ray because, again, that's how these videos work until then. I'm James Aegenice. This has been the death count. Thank you very much for watching this week's skill count. I want to thank a couple of sponsors like Oliver Ivor Christensen and Steven Sharnikov Chelsea and I'm going to try to do a podcast review of the first purge again. Remember that I can't do death counts in movies until they also come out on Blu-ray. Since I probably won't be doing a rated movie purge anytime soon, my favorites are Anarchy and then Election Year, rather than the original tune next week when we start a new franchise and be good people.
