Red sky at night, sailors' delight.
Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.

The traitor was the mayors son. C Thomas Howell was the one who shot him.

By the way, in Red Dawn, Europe sat out the war also.

Best line in the movie: Powers Booth sees C. Thomas Howell carving notches on the stock of his AK-47 for all the Russians/Cubans he's killed. Booth says, "Son, all that hate is gonna burn you up inside." C. Thomas Howell looks at him and flashes a sick smile... "It keeps me warm at night."

" the movie is something of a cult film among right-wing US extremists and is held up as a Second Amendment cautionary tale by some opponents of gun control.

I resemble that! I have the movie in my personal collection, also. If someone wants to argue the 2nd Amendment, I just hand it to them. Yes, there's a late fee.

Thanks for the correction. I saw the movie when it came out and I couldn't really remember.

There is a fire at the travel agency.

It wounds my heart with monotonous langor.

Question: Well who's on our side then? Anwser: 600 million screeming Chinamen. Question: I thought there were 1 billion screaming Chinamen? Anwser: There were.

I really enjoyed the movie (and virtually everything John Milius has done), but I'm not to keen on the US relating itself to a communist invader(!)
