The vile, evil attackers of America’s heartland, God and everything Americans hold sacred did not come from the Soviet Union. Those fiends, hell bent on destroying our country and Constitution, came from Hollyweird.
Red Dawn and Diehard are two of my favorite “guilty pleasure” movies.
So, what did it teach the director? Fox news won’t let me read the article unless I turn off Adblock.
The remake sucked...thank God for Patrick Swayze.
RIP
Somebody obviously never watched the movie.

Those were they days, back when the libs thought Russia was the good guys.
Fun Movie-—’Merica!
The movie was filmed in and around Las Vegas, New Mexico, which is not far from Santa Fe.
I watched it about 13 years ago, after having lived in NM. I thought the scenery sure looked like New Mexico. Watched the “making of...” short on the DVD, and sure enough, it was!
The Russian paratroopers commander was fluent in Russian. He was a crew on 1950s USAF Spy planes who specialized in listening to Russian directors for responding fighters and other radio traffic.
Good film that aged well.
If you’re ever in Las Vegas New Mexico, that’s where it was filmed. Things are still there to see. Even the big sign on the building, welcome to Calumet City!
Interesting that the SAME HOLLYWOOD who loved the Soviets (and thus hated the move) now DESPISES the Russians.
What changed? Perhaps the Soviets were Communists and the Russians are not? Or maybe the Russians protect their children from Grooming and make sure that queers leave their kids alone? Or maybe that Russians don’t hate conservative government, unlike Leftists?
Glad the movie was made, the reaction speaks volumes.
He gave us the lines "Charlie don't surf," "I love the smell of napalm in the morning," "Go ahead, make my day," "Ask yourself one question, 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do you, punk?"
He wrote Robert Shaw's USS Indianapolis monologue from Jaws, and came up with the opening and closing scenes in Saving Private Ryan at Normandy cemetery and "Did I live a good life?"
He originated the idea for the UFC, designed the Octagon, and his name was critical to its initial fundraising.
He was a lifelong conservative and NRA member in the most liberal community on Earth (Hollyweird). A true original and national treasure.
“Avenge me!!!”
Milius’ problem had a lot more to do with him alternating between hits and flops than anything else. Also he didn’t change with the times. He came up as part of the New Hollywood crowd when the suits weren’t sure why all these auteur directors were making so much money so they just wrote blank checks. But the auteur era ended when Jaws and Star Wars (both basically Roger Corman style exploitation flicks, only with budget) were huge hits and Sorcerer flopped. The suits could understand exploitation with a budget, and the free checks ended. But Milius didn’t get that the 70s were over and the suits were guarding the hen-house again. So he found himself mostly out, and more out with every flop.
I like that Milius included the little scene involving Form 4473. Nice touch and way ahead of the curve.
Gutfeld used to have her on his show. Smart, funny, and easy on the eyes.
