NICE! I was a senior in HS when it came out. I loved it. Plus Erin Grey and “the other Girl”! MEOW

Red Dawn was huge at our "guns-in-pickups" high school! Many a bus ride to road games or away matches had discussions of how we'd form the resistance when the commies came...

Deer rifles, shotguns, varmint guns and plenty of outdoors experience was seen as a strength. However, being on the wind-swept northern plains was definitely going to make it hard for us to lead raids from a mountain hideaway...

I still love the movie but looking back now I'm a little sheepish about how it and Vision Quest had huge impacts on me at the time. It was fun to break from the huddle, locker room or practice with a shout of "Wolverines!" However, twenty-some years later it was a little embarrassing to run into an underclassman who greeted me as "Loudon Swain"...

That would be Jennifer Grey, who was a major up and coming Hollywood hottie, (Dirty dancing, Farris Buler's Day Off) till she got her nose fixed. Then no one cared about her.

Erin Gray was on Buck Rogers and Silver Spoons. One of the most stunningly beautiful women in the world IMHO.
