Saw it in a movie theatre on a chaperoned "date" when I was 14. It was rated R , one of the first ones I saw in the movie theatre.

Its on AMC today, watching it right now.

Loved that movie as a kid. Then again, if it had commie killing in it I loved it.

Aren't they making a remake of Red Dawn?

Never saw it.

 

This is actually a crime against all that is good and decent. As an officer of the law, your should know better than to have never seen Red Dawn.

 

It is not to be missed. :-)

North Korean invasion?

 

With what food!? On average, the North Korean regular is malnourished. Half a dozen Midwestern obese teenagers will own them.

 

China, I'd believe.

Yeah , at the time Red dawn was out an invading military drop on USA soil was something everyone was scared of.

 

Anyone else old enough to remember the sirens and you had to go under the desk? The duck and cover drills?

Never saw it.

 

Let me guess- you lived in a cave?

One midwestern obese teenager could EASILY feed a platoon of North Korean Regulars.

I have a feeling this remake is gonna make me upset...such a classic!

I still remember how badass I thought C Thomas howell was-

Powers Booth: "all that hates gonna burn you up kid"

the Thomas Howell:

"keeps me warm!"

I remember hearing the movie company that produced this sequel was saved in recent years by a chinese investment firm.. yup you guessed it no Chinese invasion. The sad thing about it is in the 80's the thought of a Russian invasion gripped to a small chance of reality given the possibility of a cold war escalation. Now with China being the big bad wolf for America who better to cast as the invading force?

 

The film was originally shot for the chinese invasion but was later amended to show the N Koreans because of big pappa chinese investment firm.

It was GREAT when I was 17....Lea Thompson probably had more to do with it than the plot..but looking back?? it really was horrible

In a Van..... down by the river!

Three "attaboys" (or attagirls) to the first person that can tell me where it was filmed - the real name of the town where the high school was located. Town and state please.

Filmed in Las Vegas, New Mexico

 

Based in Calumet, Colorado.

That was too damn fast. Was it that easy to find? Attaboy x 3 Nick. Visited a friend there in 1995 - stayed in an old time hotel right on the town square. My friend used to write for the local paper - The Las Vegas Optic.

Most of those movies do seem ..eh..different when you watch them now. Footloose was horrific. I had a poster of the Outsiders in my room, second crush crush was Matt Dillon( first was Han Solo) . Again decent flic at the time.
