BSeevers Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 You will never hear me say this especially the day after whooping up on them but The First Movie WAS GREAT WOLVERINES!!!!!! Kind of a display of the basics of why we will never be occupied by an outside enemy. Inside still worries me a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even fire a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remoandiris Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) My best friend saw it a few days ago. He liked the original better. Wife and I just got back from seeing it. I liked the original better, too. I guess Fairchild AFB outside Spokane was taken out by one of those non-nuke bombs. Joint base Lewis-McChord outside Seattle must have been hit by one of those, too. Maybe those bases are where the HUMVEEs came from as well. At least they explain how the NK forces get the heavy airlift to cross the Pacific...the Russians. I liked the discussion the SGM gave about where fighting was happening. Running gun battles in Florida and such. I need to buy more ammo.

38supPat Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 From imdb: The film made the Guinness Book of Records for having the most acts of violence of any film up to that time. According to their calculations, 134 acts of violence occur per hour, 2.23 per minute. The film's replica Soviet T-72 tank was so precise that when it was transported to the studio, two CIA agents followed and wanted to know where it had come from. The plot, a Soviet/Cuban invasion from Mexico, was based on CIA and War College studies of US weaknesses at the time. The sprocket wheel on all modern tanks is in the rear. The replica Soviet equipment was mostly American M-48 tanks. Driving the tanks backward and adding a fiberglass turret gave the replicas a more authentic look. Also I read somewhere (I can't find the reference now) that Milius intended it as much as a shot against the domestic gov't as opposed to a possible soviet invasion.

mpolans Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 One of the most memorable scenes from the original was one of the Soviet leaders telling one of his soldiers to go to the local gun store and get the Form 4473s to find out who all the gun owners are and where they lived.

hacksaw556 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Saw this one a while back, I will watch the original every time it's on T.V. I don't anticipate EVER watching this lame version again. It just left me wanting "more"...depth, story, action, sharks with laser-beam eyes? I dunno, I was just underwhelmed..

CZinSC Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 We watched this last night. The girlfriend liked it, I thought it sucked. I loved the first one, still watch it every time it's on. About the only good thing from the movie was a few of the jabs and salutes to the first move: Drinking the deer blood ( won't say what happens so as not to spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it yet ) The resistance message "the chair is against the wall" ( which was in the first movie ) Plus, this exchange when they were looking at the Mac-10 ( or whatever POS machine pistol it was ): Matt Eckert: "Man those are awesome" Jed Eckert: "Not if you know anything" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I enjoyed it. I hadn't seen the original in over 10 years, so I wasn't really trying to compare it to the Patrick Swayze version, just enjoyed it for what it was. If I remember correctly, the original had the distinction of being the first movie with a PG-13 rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfSpartans Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I watched the first one when it came out. I watched this one. Both entertaining. With the perspective of history it is kind of striking how many of the cast in the original went on to become well known names in the entertainment industry.

mpolans Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 After seeing the second one, the first one was very good. The second one is a piece of crap. North Koreans??? Please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKSNIPER Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 My philosophy with the movies is this: I go to the movies to be entertained…not to witness reality on the big screen UNLESS the movie is supposedly about something that really happened. Otherwise I sit back and forget about the real world while I am entertained. If I want to see entertaining reality I could always go to work and have my front seat at the greatest show on earth…the LEO job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
