For some strange reason, I have never ever seen this film before, but I have seen the remake film from 2012, which I thought was rubbish.
So if you know the storyline, I won't bore you with the details, but basically, Soviet and Cuban forces invade America and WWIII starts.
And a group of teenage guerrillas, known as the Wolverines fight back in Soviet-occupied Colorado.
It has got a good cast list of young actors including Powers Booth, Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, and Jennifer Grey.
The film is violent and the first film to receive a PG-13 rating in America. I think that is our 18 cert over here.
There is no CGI or miniatures involved, and it's all real explosions and real tanks, planes, soldiers, paratroopers, etc which made the film more believable.
A lot of the main characters get killed off as it would in war films and you could play a drinking game with this and work out who kicks the bucket next?
Also, as an American war film, it's very Ultra-Patriotic, and only America can save the world, etc, etc, bullshit, etc!
Apart from that niggle, this is actually a very good film and it shows a neat war plan when the United States will get invaded and what their targets will be.
And it's also a dystopian futuristic science fiction movie as it is set in their future of 1989.
I shall rate this film a score of 8/10.
