Leans Right

Primary

Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

The film leans right as its central solution champions individual action and vigilantism over ineffective government bureaucracy in response to international terrorism, aligning with themes of personal responsibility and skepticism of state efficacy.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features a diverse supporting cast, reflecting the international setting of its narrative. However, its central hero is a traditionally portrayed white male, and the story does not engage with or critique traditional identities, nor does it explicitly incorporate DEI themes into its core plot.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Collateral Damage is an action thriller centered on a revenge plot. The film does not feature any LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within its narrative.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features female characters like Selena Perrini and Anne Fitzgerald. While Selena is involved in the terrorist organization and uses firearms, and Anne is a CIA agent, neither character engages in or wins close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Collateral Damage is an original film with no pre-existing source material or historical figures. All characters were created for this specific movie, thus precluding any gender swaps from prior canon.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Collateral Damage is an original film with no prior source material, historical figures, or previous installments. All characters were created for this movie, meaning there is no pre-established race to be swapped from.
