Reagan era 80's Commies are evil red scum lunacy at its most gloriously outrageous best. This makes a great double bill with the equally insane Chuck Norris action vehicle Invasion U.S.A.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

I saw it not too long ago, maybe three years ago. I found the plot to be maybe a little ridiculous that such a thing could or would happen, and than a bunch of teenagers could solve the problem. So it felt kind cheesy as a result. It was okay, but not really good or anything.

Silly, but a lot of fun! Great timewaster.

Having never seen this film before, I wonder if it will still give a strong impression as it originally did for a viewer in the 1980s compared to one watching it today.

I am currently watching the film right now, at the 7 minute mark where soldiers of the Red Army are ransacking the school; one thing I would like to address if the rest of the movie does not give more context:
It would have made more sense as a foreign military force to encourage cooperation amongst the civilians to make their invasion less messy and reduce the chances of local retaliation. It's understandable that these Soviet attackers would see Americans as their sworn enemy, refusing to take prisoners under any circumstance.
I know this is a war movie, meaning anything is hypothetical and doesn't have to be reasonably realistic. Instead of feeling shocked by their lack of wartime restraint and conduct I felt taken out of the setting.
The filmmakers were probably trying to capture the feeling the Polish felt when the Third Reich declared war on Poland in 1939.

I get it why women would have a celeb crush on him and want a hall pass for the day with him.
What I don't get is how someone so good looking was in so many really bad and stupid movies like RH and PB.

Yes, his death was surprising given he always looked to be in good health.

Voice activation makes odd messages when not intended.

Swayze….man, he had it all, didn't he?
Such
a tragic loss, and it's one of those things where you look at this incredibly fit man, dying so young. Goes to show the ravages of cancer don't care who you are.
To be honest, my favourite movie with him will always be Road House, followed by Dirty Dancing, then Point Break. I loved the beauty in his physicality, such grace and dignity, such power of presence.

Da!

Big Bill Smith looking like Hitler jacked up on roids and speaking in fluent subtitled Russian for the win.

Enjoyable, but incredibly silly.

Fun action film-cum-ridiculous Cold War propaganda. I was rooting for the Russians.

It worked for Power Rangers…

If you can believe high schoolers can become guerrillas, it's pretty realistic.
