Firefox (1982)
5/10
Recommended for ex-Soviet
18 March 2008
The only reason I bought this movie is it related to the USSR. It's quite explicit on the image my country had out there. I can only guess why Soviet propaganda ignored it's existence giving enough attention same time to Rambo, Rocki IV and Red Dawn. Most of the above mentioned movies makes you rather laugh on the "accuracy" of Russian characters and soldiers in particular. Firefox is outstanding in this respect. All uniforms, guns and insignias are just OK if not to say perfect! Living not far from one of the metro stations (Kolomenskaya) adds certain thrill while watching it. Otherwise nothing special. Checking the E-bay for this DVD you get quite a low price which speaks for itself.

Red Dawn (1984)
1/10
Comedy?
3 September 2001
Very good comedy. Strictly recommended for all citizens of ex-USSR! Best Russian speakers. Best Russian spellers. Very best sample of relations between USA and USSR of the period of "cold war". Although the movie was never oriented to soviet people, would be much nicer to have Russians for Russian characters.

Very, very good.

One of the best films in my collection. Unfortunately it was stolen. And even more, I'm not able to find this movie in Moscow in any quality. Bad luck for such a good film. 50% of the movie is the text. Good interpretor is more then necessary to get the point. It's not so popular in Russia. It's a pity.
