Is there nothing more lazy in political discourse than calling someone a Nazi?..
Instead of having to build an evil character in the opening discourse of a movie, they just put the label 'nazi' on them.
This way, all of the pre-built association that an audience already perceives about nazis gets associated with their evil biker-nazi guy, or euoro-nazi guy, or nazi-hoe, or moon-nazi explorers.
Zero effort required to make a bad guy character.

It happened in the film adaptation of The Sum of All Fears. It was a radical Islamic terrorist cell who smuggled a suitcase nuke into Mile High Stadium in Denver for the Super Bowl. At least it was in the book.
In the movie, it was white supremacist skinheads trying to get a dirty bomb in Baltimore, IIRC.
