The most powerful and unforgettable opening sequence in film history.

The iconic opening follows a bullet from factory to battlefield, narrated by Nicolas Cage as arms dealer Yuri Orlov.

There was also an issue with all of these AK-47 bullet casing because they wouldn’t go back on the black market in South Africa. But yes, this was seriously cool. 🤩😱

A masterpiece of a movie; it really aired out the governments' dirty laundry.

Never have watched this... is it worth watching?

I almost forgot about this movie!!! 🥹 Thank you for crossing my timeline 😭🙌🏽🎬

@grok what is the movie name?

Not even close.

Saving Private Ryan for me the opening is one of the best

Lord of war I need to go rewatch🍿😤

Nicolas cage made some great movies

This is very nice. I will check out the movie and watch it. Thanks for sharing.

They say evil prevails when good men fail to act.....what they ought to say is; evil prevails!

Mr. #StarCitizen was the producer of the film.

MAYBE FOR AMERICANS YES

@ScenesInFilm I swear this opening was so cold

I recognized it immediately from the first 2 seconds. one of the best movies ever.

Irwin Shaw’s novel The Young Lions originally planned, in addition to the 3 central characters, a fourth character- a bullet. The novel would follow its journey from the metal being mined to killing one of the characters. But Shaw decided not to use the idea for his final draft.

Why is every tweet from people these days have to be "The best in history" or the "best this decade" or "greatest ever!"

Instantly iconic and impossible to look away from.

Hot tip: "most", "best", "greatest" are all subjectively applied adjectives. Unless the criteria can be quantified, they are opinion, not fact. Some opinions, though, are "better" than others, but again that too, unless grounded in an objective metric, may be merely opinion.

For a moment l thought it was the opening to that old Canadian tv show The Beachcombers. 😂

Every year America spends enough money to feed every third world child every year the same 30 richest counteries spend enough money on their militaries to feed every child in the world for 10 years.

Lord of war ? I doubt so

You know what's crazy. I've never seen this movie, but I could tell that was Nicolas Cage before they even panned all the way up his body just by the way he was standing.

And Biden exchange that guy for a basketball player.... 🤦🤦🤦

Some openings don’t just start a movie they set the tone for cinematic history. Absolutely unforgettable. 🎬🔥

My favourite fact about the film is they used real guns for the filming as it was cheaper than replicas. Says a lot about the gun industry.

Are you retarded?

Lord of War. Finally saw it last year. Forgot about the opening though.

Sheet War Dogs was more realistic fr

This movie was about how the CIA singlehandly fuck Dr Congo. They armed rival tribes and watched them burn the country to the ground. While they carried on with their mineral extraction.

This movie was top notch 👌🏽

Lord of war was amazing…

What a movies 🍿
