In Response To: Vounteers: Welcome to the Revolution (Mark Levin)

: On another note, I'd like to propose an explanation for the level's name
: that's been nagging at me for a while; I finally tracked it down just now.
: It's from the movie Under Seige, which has already been noted for its
: thematic similarities to Marathon. The terrorist leader is talking to the
: heads of the military over the radio, and during the exchange this
: dialogue is heard: Breaker: If this is about reliving the 60s, you can
: forget it, buddy. The movement is dead.
: Strannix: Yes, of course. Hence the name: movement. It moves a certain
: distance, then it stops. A revolution gets its name by always coming back
: around in your FACE. You tried to kill me you son of a b!tch... so
: welcome to the revolution!
:

Nice find and great level analysis. While the film Under Seige predates Marathon and it's similar in theme to Marathon I've a feeling that the phrase "Welcome to the Revolution!" is even older than Under Seige. Of course I presently have no evidence to back this up.

Cheers
