    Thunderbolt from the mid 90's is one of his less popular, but it was Fast and the Furious, but 5 years earlier. He loves Mitsubishi, they're in a lot of his films.

    Who Am I, First Strike, Police Stories, Armour of God, Mr. Nice Guy are all great, too.

    > when she walked to school, very often US fighters shot at the children walking there.

    Here's a documentary shot in 1944 that proudly and joyfully tells the story of an air squadron based in Corsica that was bombing civilian targets in northern Italy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt!

    They bombed and shot at houses, farms, trains, people in the fields, etc. The narrator is having fun around the 26:00 mark - "Somebody in that field. Wonder who they are... No friends of mine!": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0erLVkqvPb0

    This would not fall under terrorism, but under war crimes. But war crimes only matter if you lose the war, right?
