I remember watching this in high school with my parents and trying to wrangle them to sit down and watch the opening scene, not just wander in whenever. They never understood cinema
I remember watching this as a youth (maybe 12-14 at the oldest) and thinking to myself, this is an 80s movie right? How the hell did they get away with using real explosives? I knew it couldn't be CGI, too realistic and brutal. Excellent scene.
