MGM has announced this title for a Nov. 6th release. I will definetly get this title. Wolverines!!!!!!

BTBuck1 · 09-07-2007, 05:22 AM

As a kid i'd watch this, then go grab all my Joe's and re-enact the movie.

Banjo · 09-07-2007, 05:25 AM

Would had been nice if they used the same cover as used for the DVD slipcover.

lokus · 09-07-2007, 09:13 AM

This one is definitely on my list too.

Spatula City · 09-07-2007, 09:47 AM

I'm more excited about this movie than anything else that I own or has been announced. A true classic.

u_nick · 09-07-2007, 12:49 PM

I'm definitely in

buckshot · 09-07-2007, 01:06 PM

I must second the WOLVERINES!!!!

old propaganda movies rock. especially is they have patrick swayze. i porbably butchered that name (i'm on pain killers for my wisdom teeth pulling today). according to my dad I loved this movie when it was on hbo, I was about 4. but it is enjoyable

ReduxInflux · 09-07-2007, 01:33 PM

now that's what i'm talkin about! after seeing red dawn when i was in high school, i've had this constant daydream about the same thing happening to us here in the states. of course this is a different time. this isn't the cold war of the 80's. but foregoing modern warfare... i swear - if anyone went balls out and invaded us like that, they'd be toast.

red dawn is a classic. can't wait.

EricV · 09-07-2007, 01:49 PM

I'm sorry brothers......

But this had to be the worst movie I have ever seen, maybe when I was younger I enjoyed it but now that I'm older I analyze movies more (may suck the fun out of it) I can go with the occasional far reached scene or that sounds theoretically possible but to say that in the 80's the Russians would of initiated a ground assault of the US and on top of that a high school would be one of there 1st targets is way, way, out there, I can go with the invasion, everyone was afraid of something like that happening but What possible military strategy would involve having to take a small town high school over as soon as they land.

GCW2216 · 09-07-2007, 02:13 PM

It's a movie!!! One of the best in my opinion. Why would you attack the US head-on? I would sneak in through the backdoor, a small town in the middle of nowhere.

unfortunetly war doesnt work that way, and yes I do realize that it is just a movie, I didnt say I would boycott the studio or directer that made it, I'm just saying it wasn't very good or realistic.

T-Town Oil · 09-07-2007, 02:47 PM

still a great little flick. half of the movies in hollywood aint realistic, but we still watch 'em

ryoohki · 09-07-2007, 03:17 PM

Never saw that one and i'am 30, is that the movie about the Russian, what's the premice..

Family guy rip on that movie A LOT and i'am curious to see it

BTW if i wanted to see realistic stuff all the time, i would be reading the news... not go to the movies, it's great when you balance things out..

glenn22 · 09-07-2007, 03:35 PM

Whenever I hear "Red Dawn" it always triggers the Swartzenegger movie "Red Heat" in my head. Anyways, I like both, so I might buy it when it comes on Blu.

its about kids that are in class and the russians invade. they form a militia and so on...

goodstuff · 09-07-2007, 04:13 PM

It was also the first PG-13 movie. It certainly is fairly violent IIRC, especially in regards to killing kids.

paulsandhu · 10-23-2009, 07:51 PM

Did this ever come out? I would love to see a good collectors edition... maybe leading up to the movie next year?

Yeah, I expect it to be released to tie-in with next year's remake.

I suspected as much. The collector's edition greatly improved on the non-anamorphic catalog release from years earlier. I'm thinking if I see that edition I'll pick it up while I can cause with MGM's recent finanical troubles who knows if the movie will be completed.

Hopefully any future release does have a nice little feature dedicated to Patrick Swayze.

And a Steelbook with the Wolverine logo (if they had one, lol)
