    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Five of the thirty-six paratroopers in the beginning of the movie did get blown as much as a mile off course during filming. One of them got stuck in a tree. He had to convince locals that he wasn't really an enemy soldier.
    • Goofs
      When the boys get to the mountains and are arguing about turning themselves in, right before Jed shows them the shot up radio you can see two men in the background with mustaches and sunglasses on. These are obviously not one of the actors because none of them have mustaches.
    • Quotes

      Col. Andy Tanner: All that hate's gonna burn you up, kid.

      Robert: It keeps me warm.

    • Crazy credits
      None of the actors are in the opening credits
    • Connections
      Featured in At the Movies: Revenge of the Nerds/The Woman in Red/Red Dawn/Tightrope (1984)

    Triggered?
    The problem with people/critics now days, is they take themselves way too serious. Just grab some popcorn and relax! And yes, those of us that grew up during the cold war sometimes took our patriotism to the limit even with good old fashioned corny action flics.
