Scene of the Week: Red Dawn Paratrooper Invasion

Red Dawn is a ridiculous movie that really could only be made in the 1980s, the failed remake is proof of that, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. What makes Red Dawn work is that it only focuses on the Wolverines and ignores, or at least doesn’t show the audience, how the Soviets and their allies were able to invade and occupy the United States. We get to see brothers Jed and Matt, and their friends Robert, Darryl, Erica and Toni go all guerilla warfare on the invading force and it is one movie that gets watched to the end when I catch it in the wild.

This week’s Scene of the Week takes a look a Mr. Teasdale’s (Frank McRae) history class at the onset of what would become World War III. Listen to the words of Mr. Teasdale, it is almost like he knew what would happen. For those of you who just want some action, you will not be disappointed.
