As Red Dawn marks its 35th anniversary, it looms large in the pantheon of Reagan-era action flicks. In terms of sheer body count, it is frequently cited as the most violent Hollywood production ever. The National Coalition of Television Violence identified “134 acts of violence per hour, or 2.23 per minute”. And it received the ultimate tribute recently when Stranger Things referenced it with its secret Soviet base subplot.

I don’t see it as a right wing film. I see it more of a look at what would happen if someone tried an actual invasion of the US and it also showed what suffering everyone would experience in such an occupation between neighbors, parents, brothers, etc.
