Seriously, was there a single premise in this movie that was even remotely believable, let alone entertaining?

Anybody with the nads to call himself an adult and has a sufficient double digit IQ to obtain a driver's license needs to shag their ass to Blockbuster, rent this piece of shit, and get back to us on whether you actually still think this was a great movie. Here's a clue on how to answer - finding in favor of Red Dawn drops you a couple more IQ points.

If you're a Southern trailer-trash Republican and your car is in the front yard on blocks, take the bus. No, I won't help you read the bus schedule.

The evils you [Borofin] mention are all boogey-men out of the 80s. Today's problems (Islamic radicalism, global climate change, immigration, etc.) have nothing to do with some sort of "grand design" by any of the monsters under your bed.

What part of Soviet troops parachuting directly in front of a school, shooting and killing kids and teachers, the surviving kids surviving on spaghetti-o's and a football, rally together and put up an unstoppable rebellion against elite Soviet troops - don't you believe?

At least they were not recruited from some offshore drilling company and asked to fly to a meteor to drill a hole in it, then asked to place a nuclear device in it to blow it up and save all of mankind. Who comes up with this shit.

"600 million angry Chinamen."

"I thought there were a billion Chinamen?"

"There were..." WOOSH!

Intelligent: no. Fun: yes.

Properly Equipped

Well shit, that must mean that pretty much every action movie ever made is a piece of shit and anyone who has ever watched pretty much any movie is a moronic douche. Its called suspension of disbelief. hell, we all know its entirely believable that john mcclane can knock a helicopter out of the sky with a car, or that killer bugs can hide out in a mysterious mist and kill people that venture outside a supermarket....but commies come out of the sky, well hell....that just can't be!

ok, thats cleared up, if you've ever seen a movie, your a moronic douche

If you saw an old fella eating a twix, you would think, 'thats a bit wierd innit?'

I just put this film on my Netflix list.

It just sounds so good for a night of random yelling at the tv.

wtf is wrong with being highbrow?

Just cause I drink wine and eat Brie when I watch a movie doesn't mean you can discriminate against me!

Why is it dumb, Chabisu? The shitty excuse for a movie was made in 1984, when people were actually scared of shit like the movie actually happening.

Like I said in the other thread. The movie is so fucking stupid I'd sware Borofin had a hand in writing it.

all this talk is actually making me want to watch it, for a laugh. At least it's funnier and more entertaining than anything Adam Sandler has ever been in.

I guess if I got really, really high and watched Red Dawn I'd be able to have a good laugh.

But right now I'm totally sober and will instead laugh at the stupid douchebags who dare to even consider this movie entertaining, let alone worthy of any sort of rationalized praise.

Red Dawn may very well have been written and directed by retarded monkeys for the enjoyment of other retarded monkeys to watch. I guess it's "Mission Accomplished" all around.

Isn't this rant like 23 years too late?

Wots wrong with the reds killing a few school teachers and children anyway? Its not like the USA hasn't done that and worse in Iraq -- or is it just the parachuting thing you have problems with?

For me it's the parachuting thing. Why fucking parachute in front of school, ever? Seriously; running, walking, or crawling would have all been more efficient and less stupid.

If you're taking over somewhere do you honestly apply valuable airborne troops to a fucking high school full of faggots like Patrick Swayze? Unless you've seen his horrid movies and want to eradicate the chance of him making more anyway.

Just out of curiosity...besides the parachute drop (just how accurate do you think round chutes are again?), what exactly was so improbable that you feel the need to rant about it over 2 decades late?

Because there was a thread in the Entertainment section for "five worst movies you've seen" and when I listed this juvenile piece of shit along with 4 other piece of shit movies, the dumb fuck hillbillies came out of the woodwork to defend it.

That made discussion of a movie that inspired a generation of chicken hawks quite eligible for fresh discussion.

ok, first how old are you? this came out near the end of the Cold War and was somewhat believable... and the troops were Cuban and Soviet and they attacked all over the US... but we only saw it from the perspective of Kids.... which was kinda neat when you are 13 or 14 years old.... also it was the first movie to receive the new PG 13 rating back in the day...

It isn't terribly believable but it wasn't as bad as you make it out to be...

uh, I just scanned that thread and I only see me defend it. Again, I only looked briefly so i'm sure somone else mentioned it. I think the attention whore pic would fit about here.....

As for your thread.....

You have to be a fucking idiot to not like a movie because it isnt realistic. As several people have already mentioned, that's kinda the point.

You're an idiot trying to troll. Maybe send me a pm first next time and ask for advice on the thread choice first. Apparently you could use my help.

Btw, Red Dawn is an awesome movie. I still watch it (mainly for the laffs) every time I see it on. I think you and Perry need to get out more....

If you have a serious issue tho simply meet me in Philly. I've got Jack Johnson and Tom O'Leary ready for ya.

I saw you in my toilet bowl and posed my questions, but you never answered. So I flushed.

But you'll be disappointed to know that this thread wasn't created in your honor. Unlike you, some of us actually know people outside the internet who expressed similar opinions on this movie. All those guys sell used cars now.

While I agree with your side of the argument here in general, and think Gandol's got his panties in a twist over nothing, you might want to double check "board" vs. "bored" before calling someone a "fucking idiot."
