Well, I wouldn’t argue that it wasn’t a “no holds barred, adrenaline fueled thrill ride,” but there is no way you can perpetrate that amount of carnage and mayhem and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork.
In your typical American spoof of an over-amped, testosterone-pegged action film, the standing cliché seems to be to cast the hero as an incompetent bore, an anti-intellectual simpleton who bumbles his way through a handful of elaborately staged but unimaginative stunt scenes. Also, someone usually gets kicked in the crotch; often more than one someone.
