I saw Red Dawn at our rural 2-screener the week it came out, it was my first rated R (do the math kids). Actually was PG-13, a rating they invented for this movie. Think I told Pops we went to see Mary Poppins which was rescreening around that time, hah! Must have fibbed because it was deemed violent, though seems tame now. SEE, I'm desensitized by the experience. Long/short: playing soldiers in the woods and camping out with girls?? -what 13 y/o boy wouldn't like this movie.Had not seen the movie again until last night; never forgot the radiator scene... also Charlie Sheen is shockingly good. Practically impossible, but not touching the politics of it with a barge pole; just digging the looks. Denim, mesh hats, old Northface padded jackets and bags, hiking boots, khaki/camo windbreakers and crunchy sweaters. WOlveRINessS.

Movie scared the crap out of me when I was a kid...nothing like catching the tail end of the cold war for making you think that A. the world would be destroyed in nuclear blast or B. that russians would invade the US and end our way of life forever. Ahhhhh, the memories! Literally had nightmares.
Hell to the Yeah.
Spent a few years in the army's OPFOR - short for Opposing Forces. We aggressed against US units with Soviet wpns and tactics. This film had the Warsaw Pact uniforms and tactics down stone cold. Great details. I would give my left nut to have a beer with Milius.
