Here are the Top 7 Worst Films Featuring Security Officers
For years, Hollywood had made movies depicting Security Professionals in such a bad light that people actually believe ALL Real Life Security Officers are what they see in those films. By the power of Grey Skull, you're such a Dumb-ass!
Check this out, people go to college to obtain a degree in Criminal Justice, Criminology, Forensic Science, Political Science, or Pre-Law. Now, you can get a Masters' in Cyber Security, Cyber Crimes and Security, Executive Juris Doctorate, Juris Doctorate, Legal Studies, and the like. It's a LIFE SUSTAINING CAREER/PROFESSION. Some may even obtain a job as Security to up their insight in the field on how people truly are. That means, you have to find a decent Security company in Las Vegas, where you can make enough money while studying. Which can be hard to do since a majority of them aren't worth a shit. I have a list. Will present at request.
Lastly, I will be going back to college to start my Masters' in Cyber Security/Cyber Crimes, or maybe, Legal Studies in Dispute Resolutions. (Haven't completely decided yet.) Anyway, watch these films and the next time you come across a Security Officer, realize that they have been on the Front Line throughout the entire pandemic hoping that they don't catch Da Rona. It wouldn't hurt for you to say “Thank You” or “I appreciate you for doing such a hard job.” It's only the nice thing you can do, and it don't cost a thing.
Let's get on with the movies:
7: Armed and Dangerous (1986):
John Candy and Eugene Levy, from Second City, team up and made a bit of history in this loud buddy comedy; the bumbling duo play a recently fired cop and amoral lawyer who take jobs as security guards, only to find that they've unwittingly become members of a corrupt company. In real life, these guys would be fired or dead.
6: National Security (2003):
Martin Lawrence and Steve Zahn as Earl and Hank; two completely different security guards from different walks of life that have one thing in common: the security company they work for. Their history of hating each other stems from Earl's key role in Hank's dismissal from the police force. This movie is funny, hilarious at some times. Though, again, there is no way an security professional would ever do the shit they do. NEVER.
5: Observe & Report (2009):
This dark comedy features Seth Rogen as a depressed, on-the-brink guard who is head of the security department at Forest Ridge Mall. When he fails to get into the police force and is belittled by the officer taking over his operations, he embarks on a dual mission of madness: to prove himself and catch the elusive mall flasher. Everything he does in this film will get you fired so fast it'll make your head spin. If a security officer ever talks to an female employee in a mall. You're reported, and then fired. This film is such shit to the profession.
4: Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009):
Kevin James plays Paul Blart, who dreams of being an police officer for the New Jersey State Police. However, his ample size doesn't help his chances of being a cop, so he has to make do with being a security guard at his local mall. Its a family film alright. Absolutely silly, than funny. Too many fat jokes.
3: Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015):
Same ignorant garbage. No Security Officer would ever do the things he does.
HONORABLE MENTION. Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014)
HONORABLE MENTION. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)
2: Night at the Museum (2006):
Larry Daley is the newly hired night shift security guard at New York's American Museum of Natural History. Upon beginning his shift, he's instructed not to let anything "in or out." Being in need, as an out of work average Joe, he follows those instructions pretty damn good, but soon come to realize the significance of this creepy warning: The Museum comes to life at night, kicking off a bone-tingling phenomenon that delighted movie-goers of all ages. The one thing about this film is that people forget he's a “Single Dad”, doing whatever it takes to keep visitation rights for his kid. In some cases, people are known to take security gigs to the money flow without having to go back, and fight the unemployment line. Besides the museum coming to life, he's pretty damn good security professional.
1: Friday After Next (2002):
This is the WORST of all the films portraying Security Officers as imbecilic fools. Yet, you know you are too weak to ever become a Security Officer because of the abuse and harassment “you” give them. In the Black community especially, unintelligent ghetto barnyard people talking all kinds of shit to Security for NO REASON. When something happens, we're the first ones you call.
Top Flight Security: Craig (Ice Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps) find crime on the first day of their new job, and back in the old neighborhood where it all began. It's Christmas time and a ghetto Santa Claus breaks into their run-down apartment, stealing all their presents, along with anything else he can stuff into his sack, including the rent money hidden in their stereo speakers. Their only hope to not get evicted before Christmas is to take jobs as security guards at a local mall, where they learn some comic lessons about the true meaning of the holidays.
