Dad forces couple to watch 'Taken' before overseas trip

Dad forces couple to watch 'Taken' before overseas trip

This is the height of taking precautions...

If you don't know about the 'Taken' franchise, then we suggest you watch the trio of movies. 

It can be a bit shocking for someone watching it for the first time, mostly due to the 'real' aspect surrounding trafficking. 

But it is worth a watch, especially if you are planning a trip overseas. At least that is what this father believed to be a pre-requisite before travelling abroad. 

A couple on TikTok shared a funny story surrounding the trio of 'Taken' movies and, in particular, Liam Neeson. 

Neeson is the main actor of the movies and there's an iconic part in the first movie that people have made into a meme; this was after his daughter went on an overseas trip and was abducted by traffickers.

The Sityanas went on an overseas trip last Christmas and before they embarked on their adventure, Siya's future father-in-law made him watch all three 'Taken' movies.

After their post to TikTok, people asked if he was taking care of Liam Neeson's daughter (aka Makayla, Siya's girlfriend). 

And this is what the couple shared... it was happy news of their engagement. Courtesy of TikTok
