Red Dawn (4/9) Movie CLIP - Guerilla Warfare (1984) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
The Wolverines employ the art of guerilla warfare, ambushing the enemy and quickly disappearing before reinforcements arrive.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Set at an indeterminate point in the future, this drama with an overt anti-communist message begins as an ostensible war movie: Russian and Cuban forces have invaded the U.S. and are viciously eliminating the inhabitants of a small town, when a group of teens escapes and plans a counterattack. Jed (Patrick Swayze), Robert (C. Thomas Howell), and six of their friends watch in amazement as soldiers parachute into their town and start shooting. The teens grab a pickup truck, stock up on supplies at the local store, and head for the hills. Meanwhile, the men in the town -- after a minimal resistance -- are rounded up and held at a drive-in theater converted into a concentration camp. The sadistic Soviet military then make them watch acclaimed Russian director Sergei Eisenstein's 1938 classic Alexander Nevsky, as their punishing rehabilitation begins. Meanwhile, after minimal resistance from the adults, a Cuban, Bella (Ron O'Neal), is put in charge and is not certain how he can really defeat the teen army. The Soviets and Cubans have so far defeated the American Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force, but these teens are really something else. After a successful ambush, the teen guerrillas gear up for future forays, when they are suddenly betrayed by one of their number and by doubts about the morality of what they are doing. Red Dawn is noteworthy for being the first movie released with the PG-13 rating, created by the MPAA after public outcry over violent content in the PG-rated Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins.

HIT US UP:

[twm]

The best part about this scene is the Soviet Officer pulling out a switchblade like a 50’s Greaser

[bobbyricigliano]

Did the USSR's armored tactics manual include single vehicles traveling around in enemy territory with no support units?

[opetke]

I really like how their first plan wasn't well thought out. It was contrived, there were many things that could have gone wrong. But each attack became better. They started using interlocking fields of fire, more sophisticated weapons, better intel...really showed a progression.

[CheekClapper]

And that my friends was how the Soviet red army, at the height of their power, were defeated by the senior class of '84.

Follow up: Yes lol the USSR lost to the Afghans the same way we Americans got are asses handed to us by some Rice Farmers.

[Tom-bmkt]

We all thought this movie was great and all, but ultimately very silly. But here were are, almost 40 years later and yep - they nailed it.

[monsterchild]

Imagine being a Russian commando and being yeeted by a 200 dollar Walmart hunting rifle

[louiewatson]

It's great to see kids participating in extracurricular activities.

[WehrmachtKradschutzen]

My favorite part is when they use the second amendment on the Russians

[astronautindisguise]

Everyone watching this movie before 2022: “This is so inaccurate, a lone Russian tank would never stop for gas, especially with no sidearms.”

Everyone watching now: “This is the most realistic depiction of the Russian military in all of cinema”

[albertbabos]

I was 12 when this movie came out. The best age as a youth. We would play guns. We used bottle rockets as RPGs. Smoke bombs 💣 as grenades. We had camo as it was big to wear back then and we all had our huge survival knives which were a hit.. WOLVERINES!

[aaronlee]

I like how that old man was like “Screw y’all “. Last act of defiance 😎

[maximuscaligula]

Soviet tank commander character is actually one of the military advisers on the set who assisted Captain Dale Dye training the actors and running a pre-production boot camp in weapons, tactics, conditioning, etc.

[mrwri]

*unrolls Constitution*
"ahem"
"Shall Not Be Infringed"

[chrisferguson]

They never should have remade this movie!

[TralfazConstruction]

One of the top '80s movies which is a time capsule of that era. If/when I watch Red Dawn (1984) I usually try to watch War Games (1983) shortly afterward.

[zwickflixproductions]

It really bothers me how slow the RPG is.

[lineshaftrestorations]

Red Dawn was used as a Ukrainian training film.

[SamhainBe]

I remember when American youth had mettle and patriotism and cheered this kind of movie - I was sitting in the theatre 1st run and heard it!

[lilredcutie]

I love how he throws a grenade from 100 feet away perfectly into an APC hatch, which just happens to be open. 😂

[colleenpaletskie]

They're liars, not one of them had adamantium claws
