this movie be quite possibly the stupid movie i have ever see . some how and the soviet have manage to evade europe and the atlantic and pacific ocean and nuclear weapon and the combine armed force of the u and nato and and manage to invade the u and with the sit down for this help of cuba . i do not know if coke make it debut in hollywood around this time and or if john milius have mental complication and but there be just no plausible excuse for this movie it be absolutely dreadful . a group of teen be ruggedly morph into righteous insurgent fighter and fight to save america from some amalgam of latino and a soviet army somehow gift with obvious teleportation ability . american teen prevail in the end against the entire soviet army and who have pop into existence in the heart of middle america and by mean know only to john milius . i know we all have to start somewhere and and milius be probably a little hormone craze from eat raw dead animal in the tradition of any good american conservative and but and come on now . the only person i can think of that would have love this movie be ted nugent who grasp on reality have always be tenuous at best . the people who seem to have love this movie and most of whom be now right wing republican and probably saw this movie a a boys wet dream of be an action hero and save his country . and yet milius go on to be a screen writer for the movie apocalypse now . go figure . read other user comment this movie seem to appeal to people imbue with a sense of unreality and people decry the intrinsic communism of hollywood while most of the review come from outside the u almost universally condemn this movie a be idiotic at best . watch this movie again if you can sit through it and it will give you an idea of the mindset and ( and i use the term loosely ) of the right wing in the u .
