Nice effects though.
Absolutely the worst movie.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
We are from Alabama and we lvoe MAGA, God and America and this film showed the heartland will pound the Cubans BUT also our Russian friends used to be our ebemy but now because of the genius of President trump they are our only allies and friends. so watch enjoy but it is dated history MAGA
The Red menace and Russkies and good old wholesome American boys.How the Russians and Cubans got to the center of America with no resistance and barricaded the strategic little town but kids could leave and enter is part of the magic!
This movie is the best. The best. Americans look foolish. Russia extremely strong and powerful in it's denial. Stick around after the credits for the hotel pee pee scene.
I recently watched this movie again, after last seeing it when it came out in the 80's, and was surprised at how much I remembered it. I (and my brothers) all thought it was a fantastic movie when it came out, and to be honest, my opinion has not changed. Leaving aside the implausibility of the premise - that Cuban forces spearheaded an invasion of the U.S. - the whole thing was a hoot. It is also a homage to war/resistance movies; I remember that one of the scenes (where codes to the resistance are gong out over the radio), is taken directly from WWII movies (e.g. The Longest Day, using very similar code phrases as those provided to the resistance in occupied France). It was also has excellent cinematography. There are also some fantastic lines in that movie. Highly recommended!
