FIRST TIME WATCHING Red Dawn (1984)!! 

WOLVERINES!

The kids today need to watch this movie instead of the simple cookie cutter style MCU movies

This movie was never intended to tell the whole story. It gave you the first few chapters then cut to the end and allowed your imagination to fill in the rest. The two that made it out survived the rest of the war and then showed the monument revealing that in the end the invasion was repelled. It showed how much devastation was done in just a few months and gave you a taste of the brutality. If that much death and suffering happened in just the first few months, you imagination can fill in the rest with out trying to condense it all into 90 minutes. Yes there is a remake of this, but we don't speak about the remake.

As a Kid 70-80's this wasn't simply fiction. We fully expected this to be our future, and it could happen any day. Gen-X grew up believing we would fight/die in ww3. My school did drills for nuke attacks etc. When the Berlin wall fell there was a generational sigh of relief you can't imagine, and now I wonder if that sigh was a mistake, because it sure feels like the cold war again today with China and Russia. For that matter even the WEF which feels like rehashed Nazis. I feel like our nation is in worse jeopardy now then ever, and the generations since seem very soft and weak as a whole.....(not all). We grew up with guns in pick ups in the parking lot, no boy was complete without a pocket knife. No one thought twice about it, and we didn't have school shootings. Even our teachers and coaches hunted, and many were veterans. It just seems like our society has lost that edge, physically, mentally, and spiritually. The best way to avoid such conflicts is to have a society no one WANTS to go to war with. I am really worried about this nations future. Our Republic does have enemies and see us as weak, and whether we are or not doesn't even matter, because if we appear to be weak, we make a future world war more likely. No one "wins" a world war, you just get some who survive.

Obviously it's outdated now.. .but back then it was about as good as you could hope for. If you were a kid growing up in the 80's you wondered about nuclear war and a Russian invasion.

A way more effective version of war through the eyes of children is COME AND SEE, which follows a Belorussian kid during the Nazi invasion in WW2. It makes this one look like a Twilight movie. This movie was meant to echo the real-life experiences of people who became partisan fighters during foreign invasion in... just about any other country than America. We don't have any real sense of that, which is what gave this movie whatever impact it had.

The ending narration about Partisan Rock gets me emotional every time. I had to sneak in to this movie with a friend cause my mom wouldnt let us go. So we bought ticket for another show that started about the same time and just walked into Red Dawn.

The blood drinking is a real thing for many after thier first successful big hunt. Nice reaction guys.

Man please do the outsiders. I've been begging reactors forever to do it and no one has. Y'all should lead the way on a classic.

This was actually meant to be a anti-war film but the studio wanted it to be more of a, well... propaganda piece, but I think the director managed to depict a fair number of the horror's and trauma's of war if you look beneath the jingoism.

WELL DONE🤩 Thanks for letting me "re-watch' this again. I'm glad you liked it. It's been a favorite of mine as well. 1. Harry Dean Stanton😇 was one of the best character actors I've ever seen. Deep portfolio, including: Alien, Pretty in Pink, Christine, Escape from New York and the Green Mile. He even had a part in Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke. It was when the boys went to jail and he was an inmate, but the footage was cut. 2. Loved Patrick😇 He started out as a professional ballet dancer, but he ruined his knee. 3. Charlie Sheen Can play other than funny.

I enjoyed the reaction, but my complaint would be cutting out too much of the fight scenes. Even cutting out the guy yelling Wolverines? That’s absolutely iconic.

I live in Omaha, next to an Air Base would be targeted, and I saw this opening weekend. We were still doing nuke drills in Jr high. Have you ever had to do a nuke drill?

Robert had the most character growth throughout the movie. Jed/Patrick Swayze could be said was the main character. The mayor's son was always a coward, playing politics like the father. That's why he betrayed them because he traded their freedom for his, problem was he got caught and got dead.

Good 80s movies chuck Norris missing in action 1 2 and 3 Rambo 1 2 and 3 👍👍

The reason why there was narration at the end, was to show the viewer that the war eventually came to an end. That’s why it ended the way it did, Partisan rock became a national Monument. Was your sister aware of the time in America when this came out? The Cold War with the Soviet Union?

I'm glad people are still watching this movie, to me it is a classic from my youth. It was a good, low budget, ensemble cast and story. Thanks foor keeping it alive. Have you guys done a reaction video to Bushwick? It is a more recent version of this genre that is also low budget but tells a good story.

This is my all time fave movie. A couple of fun facts. Ron O'neal, who plays the Cuban officer, was famous for a movie in th eearly 70's called "superfly". Also, this movie was filmed in a New Mexican ghost town called Los Vegas. Lastly, the mock ups of the Soviet military equipment were so realistic that the CIA visited the director

This was the first movie to be rated pg-13, it was gonna be rated R but the US wanted teenage boys to see it in case of actual invasion.

At least Caroline in the City survived

You should check out Toy Soldiers from 1991 & Iron Eagle 1986.

If someone cuts your throat while you’re sleeping, you will may not last long after the fact. But it takes a bit of time, even if major blood passageways are severed. Not long, but it’s not like the movies. So you most certainly can “wake up with your throat cut”.

It's time to watch Groundhog Day 🤔

When I saw this movie back in 1984 I thought it was really stupid to attack a high school. But seeing what the Russians are doing in the Ukraine, it makes sense now.

22:53 I agree with you. Shoot, don't talk. Bullets, bombs, and knives do the talking when it comes to revenge killings.

A younger Whoppie Goldberg

I know a lot of people chalk this up to right wing propaganda... Which, ngl, it probably is... But it's also a great "what would you do in this situation?" Type movie. Hide in the mountains? Launch guerrilla strikes like they did? To be honest those are both valid things.

One of my favorite movies of all time

THE THING 1982. Sorry just found yall if you recapped it already please disregard

2 of tom cruise movies from the 80s risky business and the block buster that took 36 years for a sequal top gun

The rocket launchers are RPG similar to our LAAW, a basic infantry weapon today.

Thanks for the review

Great movie. Yeah Ardvark didnt get much screen time.

Ya, this is one of my fav movies in the 80s. It was a trip when we were going to WW3, kind of like repeat with Ukraine - Russia war. I get you guys didn't grow up with this, but you need MORE reactions. You were kind of asleep through the movie.

The film that got John Milius blackballed in Hollywood.

I think the ending narration is to show that we won the war.

22:56 Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" - The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus November 2, 1883 23:08 "There's a clocktower in Hereford where the names of the dead are inscribed. We try to honor their deeds even as their faces fade from our memory. Those memories are all that's left, when the bastards have taken everything else...." - Captain John Price of Task Force 141 Disavowed COD: Modern Warfare 3 (2011).

first rule of reacting. if you dont show empathy toward the characters...people will stop your vid 4 minutes in. like im going to do right now. later.

Country Boys can Survive......Wolverines....!

I love this movie and appreciate comments below the video, but Im russian. IF silly murricans in the 80s really scared of my soviet ancestors or hated them, then I call myself as a communist, wish some day we will back to those symbols at least to troll murricans. Whatever, being a boogieman is kinda fun

I only watched this because of your cute guest

there are supposed to be TWO people being executed in that scene

Nothing wrong with 80's movies....sorry....not sorry

Brainstorm. Christopher Walken. Natalie Wood

only one black guy in the whole movie and of course he gets killed in the first 2 minutes

Russia is really doing that to Ukraine 🇺🇦 in real life.

Slava Ukraini !!

Reaction is lame
