What is Red Dawn most famous for?

 

Not what you think...it was the first nationwide PG-13 rated release. I remember it was summer of 1984, either July or August, but I can't remember which.

I hope they don't make an abortion of this classic.

 

:fist up in air: WOLVERINES!!!

 

Have you known Hollywood to do anything but?

 

Oh and BTW, Red Dawn was good, but a classic??

Interesting fact, but wouldn't it be most famous for what you think?

I figured most would think Red Dawn famous for being one of the last movie releases featuring war with the Russians.

 

Either that, or being the first movie with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey both in it.

i liked red dawn because of the realism, yet people still argued that 9 kids on horseback couldn't defeat an entire army.

False. The PG-13 rating was created for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

 

Red Dawn (according to the New York Public Library's Book of Answers 1988) was the bloodiest film ever made.

Forgive me. I was understanding that it was IJTD, but Red Dawn also receives credit. It's murky. Your comments were not "false."

Good. Why though, Wolverine? :D

 

If they make it terrorist porn (like the original was Commie porn), there's just not a market for it. The BO has been terrible for any sort of war movie or films dealing with the war -- so remaking an invasion action flick (whether it's Russians, Iranians?, Canadians) probably won't track well enough for them to market.

 

That's a hunch ... the only way it gets out of development is if Traitor (which opens soon and looks awesome) does record numbers at the BO -- which it won't.

 

Promise?

 

I will put my minions to work on it!!! :rolleyes:

Well, you're actually right Big Cat. Temple of Doom should be the one with the credit because it was Spielberg who forced the ratings board to add the new PG-13 rating because he knew that an R rated Indy flick would limit their audience. Red Dawn jumped on Indy's bandwagon, though both got the ratings at roughly the same time, Red Dawn would have been an R if it weren't for Temple of Doom and Spielberg.

 

That's when you know you have clout in Hollywood -- when you can get the ratings board to add a whole new rating for your movie, simply because you ask.

Right, I knew that TOD was the catalyst but Ohio Mike was right to say that Red Dawn was the first PG-13 RELEASE.

 

But yes, Spielberg = the film industry.

Yes

 

And I don't even want to think about how badly Hollywood will slaughter this classic.

 

Boys! Avenge Me!!! Avenge Me!
