Wolverines!
Back when presidents weren’t chummy with Russians, blue collar Americans feared a Soviet invasion. Red Dawn dared to show why high schoolers were our last line of defense from the communist menace that would turn all we love against us. Of course the biggest scare for cinephiles was that Super Fly‘s Priest would turn into a Cuban military leader who would force people to be re-educated in a drive-in theater. The Red Dawn: Collector’s Edition packs on the extras to make the Red Menace glow in Blu-ray as part of the Shout! Select Series. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory:
