Rescuing Soldier Ryan vs. Saving Private Ryan: Which One Is More Lulzworthy?


So I'm on some forum talking about some movies and whether it's alright for movies to sacrifice historical accuracy for the sake of entertainment (ie: 300) when this person (perhaps a foreigner?) comes in and makes a reference to the historical accuracy of the film Rescuing Soldier Ryan.

I scrolled past the post.

I scrolled back up.

I read it again.

I lol'ed.

And then I said "Do you mean Saving Private Ryan?" To which they responded "NO, RESCUING SOLDIER RYAN!!".

Well then. Um...

Anyway, Saving Private Ryan (1998) is a truly amazing movie. The scene depicting the massacre on Omaha beach (which lasts roughly twenty-seven minutes) is arguably one of the most powerful sequences in film. Period.

As for Rescuing Soldier Ryan, I bet it's nothing compared to the sequel: Rescuing Soldier Ryan 2: Electric German Boogaloo.
