"And how about one of the worst of all the Americans-view-Russians films:
"Red Dawn" (1984), with Patrick Swayze as the heroic high school
jock-turned-guerilla leader who leads the small town folk of Colorado to
victory over the invading Soviets?"

My favorite movie. I appreciated one thing in particular: the abundant
Russian graffiti (mostly incorrect mat) has accent marks. Obviously a lot of
research went into the making of this American classic.

Gads, I didn't even remember that it was Patrick Swayze.
