right .
well as I said - not exactly the most credible backstory/plot for the original then.
Not to mention the red scare factor and all .
but as a heroic story of combatting oppression -go wolverines by all means.
A small band of civillians get together and fight back using irregular tactics against a highly organized and well equipped occupation force.
I think I am going to see it again one of these days .As far as cold war mementoes goes, this one is a landmark.
