Just letting u guys know Red Dawn playing right now on AMC, channel 254 on direct tv. |

Radio Free America Announcer: It's 11:59 on Radio Free America; this is Uncle Sam, with music, and the truth until dawn. Right now I've got a few words for some of our brothers and sisters in the occupied zone: "the chair is against the wall, the chair is against the wall", "john has a long mustache, john has a long mustache". It's twelve o'clock, American, another day closer to victory. And for all of you out there, on, or behind the line, this is your song. [the Battle Hymn of the Republic begins to play] |
How old are ya? I remember seeing it when it was "freshly" in theaters.... yeah it was scary, but the cold war was scary at that time - mutually assured destruction, etc. The movie was a "ray of hope". Also notice the parallels between the Afghan mujahadeen of that time and the wolverines. |
+1.....close parallels!! |
Think about the parallels now with the way the Cubans infiltrated the US in Red Dawn, and our totally secure border today! It's still scary. |
| Definately a classic flick! The acting is sub-par, and the movie is pretty unrealistic. But, for cheap entertainment... The DVD cannot be beat. I'm sure that I've watched my copy at least 50 times or more (especially when I was heavy into AK type rifles). The story-line is very cool. |
