Yikes! Better support the freedom fighters in Afghanistan!

This is the movie that taught me that Houston is the capital of Texas.

Damn Russkies and their hatred of American schools!

Also, using an RPG on a supply closet in a high school...overkill or not?

I was petrified that this was going to happen to my school.

But in my heart of hearts, I was secretly hoping it would.

Every time I watch any of this movie, I get the urge to play Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2.

WOLVERINES!

I'm surprised that John Milius didn't strain the last thread of credibility and cast some Angela Davis type as the history teacher.

Shooting up a public school in the middle of nowhere is not the way to win the hearts and minds of the proletariat, comrades.

Besides, everyone knows that teachers are liberal pinkos. They're all just a couple of days' worth of agitprop away from signing up for party membership and planning committee positions.

Meek-but-secretly-seething Mr. McPhearson (4th grade) would gleefully accuse the asshole redneck dad (who once called him a pansy in a minor altercation at the King Kwik and who's asshole kid vandalized his Dodge Neon) with anti-revolutionary activities and being a tool of the capitalist oligarchy.

In short, a not very well planned out invasion. The Russians must have had Rumsfeld advising them (ZING)!

4 stars

The dead kid staring out the window is both horrific AND high-larious.

I spent a good portion of my childhood being told to expect exactly this at any time.

Don't forget the football!

It is every American's duty to watch this movie whenever it's shown.

Wolverines!
