Red Dawn [VHS]

Truly ridiculous but somehow moving, this right-wing paranoid fantasy by John Milius (The Wind and the Lion) from 1984 concerns a Soviet takeover of the United States and a band of ragtag adolescents who metamorphose into freedom fighters. One can laugh at the notion of Nicaraguans, Cubans, and Russians having worked out a master plan to invade America, but Milius's account of how such a grim day affects a small Western town really does get under one's skin. The cast--most of whom were not yet stars (Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey had probably never heard of a script called Dirty Dancing at the time)--are quite persuasive as nice kids who come to recognize the tragedy of their lost innocence through fierce, uncompromising struggle. Powers Boothe is very good as a pilot who briefly comes to their aid, and Harry Dean Stanton is stirring as a solid working man and father who represents the virtues his sons are fighting for. The DVD release includes production notes, the original theatrical trailer, trivia, scene access, and an optional widescreen presentation. --Tom Keogh

User Reviews about Red Dawn [VHS]

Beautiful,Patriotic and Yes it could have very much happen and still can,if we left it up to the aldai stevenson types with their dialogue approach to the enemy and singing songs and holding hands we'd be doomed, Liberals hate the movie like everything else they hate don't agree with their point of view,simply put they have a fascist bent and anything right of them is wrong to them.Watch the Movie and Get Over it, Reagan/Thatcher/Catholic Church Won the Cold War,Not Gorbachev ,But Reagan and it bothers mindless liberals who think they are so intelligent and smug.
Patrick Swayze and even Little Charlie Sheen son of that great partisan hack put in a great Performance. -- Red Dawn.
I just can't believe all of the negative reviews here on this film that go on and on saying that it just isn't possible that something like this could ever happen!

Listen to me now: Star Wars. Star Trek. Wolfman. Dracula. Spiderman. Waterworld. Terminator. Narnia. And on and on and on.

Get it? How can you trash a movie like this for being so unbelievable when you can just ADORE films like I have written above and a thousand other just like them.

One word: Liberalism.

Nuff' said. -- Stretch your imagaination a bit will ya?
So glad this is now on BluRay. I've always loved this movie. I don't care about any negative comments. Get over it. This is an American classic...always will be. I also love the most Libtard Global Whining movie ever in all of mankind....The Day After Tomorrow....and I'm very conservative and think the whole thing is an EPIC con job that will cost U.S. huge money to pay someone high up in gooberment. Yet, I find myself watching it at least once a year. Go figure that one out. -- I can compartmentalize.....I LOVED THIS MOVIE
Ok movie for it's time. Special effects are off a bit but what do you expect for the eighties? -- Good movie
