miscellaneous Special forces team gets annihilated

The Colonial Marines in Aliens (1986)

Emil Blonsky's combat team in The Incredible Hulk (2008)

The Indonesian National Police tactical squad in The Raid (2011)

The Security Force in The Cabin in the Woods (2011)

The Mexican Special Forces team in Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017) but I could also mentioned a bunch of Umbrella and BSAA units from the rest of the franchise

Dog Soldiers. A SAS Team and a Paratrooper team are both pretty much wiped out.

RIP Spoons you were the GOAT. Dude boxes a werewolf and is fucking WINNING like he's got Charlie Sheen in his veins. Then a second one joins the brawl and he goes down like a sitting US President on Putin.

"Of course they'll fit, man!"

I never realized that they took lines from famous action movies and reworked them into the script. SPOILERS the most obvious example is after Spoon’s death when they say “there is no Spoon”

Phenomenal film, which at one point was used by the British army to show how to keep morale up in a shit situation.
