I love it how the Cuban Col. tells the troop to go looking for 4473's at the sporting goods store.

Just picked up my copy at the Ft. Collins, Colo. Walmart for $8.00.
It was on the rack, not in the bin. They had about a dozen copies in stock. |

In 1985 I was in 8th grade, and the county had just opened up a new high school. All of the kids going to it got to vote on the school mascot. Because of Red Dawn it ended up being the Wolverine. I wonder if any of the students there today know the significance of their mascot?
Love that movie! I got mine (DVD) for $7.99 at K-Mart years ago. |

Actually, that is a take on an ancient quote by the philophiser Euripides: "It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." |

Red Dawn is one of those movies I never get tired of watching. It should be required to watch in all high school history classes.
Oh and WOLVERINES! |

When Euripides said that, I don't think he met "face a Hind-D with only an AKM." |

Actually, Jed said that line while he was liberating the re-education camp and was passing out rifles to the newly freed citizens.

I thought it came from Geo. Washington: "The thing the sets the American Christian apart from all other people in the world, is 'he will die on his feet, before he will live on his knees.'" -George Washington |

I might go pay $8 for it, even though that is 100 rounds of ammo.

"red dawn" was the first movie to feature the ak74 rifle. even though they were just akm mock ups, the prop department was smart enough to known that the russians should be armed with ak74's and the cubans should have akm's.
several of the ak's were modified valmets, while others were built on (the horror!) butchered beautiful steyr maadi imports. |

Nope, Washington got it from Euripides too. www.aerenlund.dk/quotes/index.html Click on Euripides. Trust me, this is a very famous quote from a very famous man. |

When I watched it I noticed that the Ruskies had what appeared to be AKS-74s, but with 7.62 magazines. I then realized that at that point in time, only the russians had real AKS-74...duh... |

All of their mockups where pretty darn good too. I was really impressed with the DShk .51 HMG which if you look closely was an M60D on a carriage and some added furniture. I knew that gun was bigger than Leah Thompson! The Spetznaz Col having the Jatimatic was odd, I guess they jus wanted him to have a different cool looking weapon. People bitch about the armor, I thought it looked GREAT, who the hell sits and counts the number of road wheels in a movie theatre anyway? I guess it looked good after growing up with war movies where any german tank= M-48 with swashtika on the side. |

The Spetznaz Col having the Jatimatic was odd...
yes, extremely odd. i guess they relied on the fact that the finnish subgun is relatively unknown in the west. i didn't catch what it was untill several times thru, myself. |

Director John Milius is very much pro-gun. The amount of effort put into getting it right doesn't surprise me. It's certainly appreciated. The Son Tay Raid is in production, woo-hoo.

And they live there and we set them free.
Most of the car-bombers over there are from other arab countries and are blowing up Iraqis mainly. Did the Wolverines car bomb the residents of Kalumet? Was the United States a bloody dictatorship liberated by freedom loving Soviets in the movie? Your straw-man analogy breaks down under the slightest of scrutiny. |
