Trivialidades:

The movie being shown to American prisoners at the Russian camp near Calumet is Aleksandr Nevskiy (1938).

Errores:

Personal o Equipo Visible: When Cuban paratroopers launch a rocket-propelled grenade into the school bus, a special effects guide wire is visible.

Citas:

Col. Andy Tanner: [using a crude diorama, the Wolverines prepare for an assault on the Calumet Drive-In, which is now a Russo-Cuban "Re-education Camp"] All right. Four planes. Cuban bunker, Russian bunker. munitions dump, troop tents. Four machine gun bunkers. Back here by the drive-in screen are your political prisoners. We'll cause a diversion over here... cut holes in the wire here, fire on all these machine gun positions. The B-Group comes across this area in a flanking maneuver... and when you reach this bunker, you lay down grazing fire on this defilade. I think that's pretty simple. Anybody got any questions so far?

Red Dawn film for its time

Some may find this movie rubbish. But for an American teen in the mid 80's (which I was)....it gave a feeling of pride and strength. The mid 80's was a tough time for everyone...but especially teens. All the dramatic changes that occurred then in every aspect of life. Red Dawn made teens feel like they had some kind of power...the relationship the brothers shared and the unity of the friends fighting such an overwhelming foe...well I guess you just had to be there. Kids getting movies out of retro bins..could not even begin to comprehend the mindset of that time...American or not. We also need to remember that special effects of that time could not even begin to compare with modern special effects. As for the violence...well...doesn't every teen want to see violence in action films?
