This year marks the 40th anniversary of the iconic Cold War thriller "Red Dawn,"
It wasn't one of Hollywood's best scripts, but it fed a lot of RW enthusiasts wildest dreams. Got to remember also it came out in the Reagan years when he told Gorbachev to tear down that wall.Young Lucas wanted to repopulate America with Lea Thompson and Jennifer Grey.
Powers Booth added that gravitas those young, rugged warriors needed. Forget the plot line about how the Russkies and Cubans would seize every mountain pass in the Rockies with paratroopers on flights disguised as commercial airline flights. Forget how they got their BMPs and supplies in. Forget how the one thing you cannot do is get the guns from American's hands. That was a helluva 1980s movie.
Amerika! lol
