- Start date
Something that always bothered me. When they open fire on the tankers from the holes in the ground. Where'd the dirt go???
Charlie snorted it.
Around our house, we call anything like that (fuck ups, lack of continuity, etc.) "Horrywood".........
You spread the pile of dirt out. I always wonder why there is never enough dirt to refill a hole.
First movie released with the PG-13 rating. (though not the first to get it)
Oddly I know exactly where I was that day and what I was doing. (and not some amazing unusual thing that would cause me to remember)

And as of yesterday, it's currently free to watch in full on youtube:
Will probably be available until the end of the month, they usually rotate around then, but sometimes they'll be up for a lot longer.

C'mon Mtn... they're Wolverines! You know they burrowed those tunnels from miles away and popped out from underground.
Or is that badgers?
Or really angry gophers.
Anyhoo... That's how John Milius explained it...

one of the best movies to come out of the 80s and especially when you consider how the country felt about Russia and communism. I still remember the newsweek magazine covers of 14yr old Russian kids marching with AKs
I remember my dad taking me to see it. I must've been nine. Thanks for posting, SirMechanic, it brought back a great memory of a great man!
As a going to be a sophomore in HS living in Colorado, I related quite well to this movie.
I have the patch to prove it.

Can somebody PLEASE! make a meme of this, only with a banana holding the AK? Please? (And with "Wolverines", not gophers). Or gophers.
Actually... I want stickers. Lots of stickers. And velcro morale patches.
I'm pretty good at this. Give me a few and let me see what I can do.
You sir, are an arteest!I think this is it
Let me know and I can do some slight editing if needed
You got me interested… one came from the store. Boom box type.
The other is probably not known… could have been small transistor. Or USA had large stores of small radios that could be handed out to guerilla groups or folks in Eastern Europe so they could listen to VoA or RFE or BBC, which was verboten. Concealed in a frozen? Good tin like that… hard to say what it is. Maybe even a home-made crystal set. That stuff was still around in the ‘80s. Radio Shack kits!

I still carry a road atlas when I travel. Never know when somethings gonna go 'poof' and no gps.
I looked at a lot of pictures of vintage portable radios, there is a quick back shot of the radio when they're listening around the campfire. Based on the size of it and that it has an angle on the back and the antenna retracts into the housing, I'm quite confident it's a GE pocket transistor circa early 80's.
The other is probably a GE portable; probably common to a general store then. On a side note; one cool feature some radios had from that era was the capability to listen to TV channels. I don't think they could pick up TV sound anymore unless they were retro fitted with a digital converter.
