I remember thinking it was kinda campy when I first saw it. But the scene where C. Thomas Howell executes the politician’s son pulled me in.

It is becoming more of a “must see” movie everyday for a lot of reasons....

One of three Swayze movies I really liked. Next Of Kin and Road House the others. God Bless Swayze and his wife as he battles on with his illness.

Red Dawn is a training film for the next three years.

I love it when the Russian soldier complains that his execution is against the Geneva Convention, and Swayze replies, “I NEVER HEARD OF IT!!!!”

Better get a DVD/copy pretty soon. Undoubtedly, the way things are going, it will be on the emperor’s “proscribed” list by this time next year.

I recorded it to dvd long ago.

I still think Mussolini's Italy's version of Ayn Rands "We The Living" ("Noi Vivo) is superior.

About as cheesy as the “A-Team” or those “Iron Eagle” movies.

The only positive was the effort on the Soviet vehicles.

Wolverines! Good movie. It’s really predictable how liberals decide if a movie is good or not: if it bashes America, the military, Christianity/Christian morality, or families it’s “edgy” and “provocative” and “original” no matter how cliche it is. If it portrays them in a positive light it’s jingoistic, unsophisticated, lowbrow, etc.

It’s one of the greatest GUY movies of all time.
Swayze was also in one of the great CHICK flicks of all time too, Dirty Dancing.
It’s sad that he’s so ill these days. :(
