I had read somewhere that there was going to be a remake of Disney's Condorman to make it as a light family comedy just as the original had been. But i don't know if it's still going to get made.

I agree. Totally unrealistic, but a lot of fun to watch!

I can never understand why Chuck Norris never got an Oscar in 1985. Undoubtably the thinking man's Rambo.

Ahhhh...The golden age of the videclubs! When I was a child it was one of the most difficult VHS films to find free in my videoclub, specially on saturday.
The kind of movie you must wait at the door asking to everyone who enters the videoclub wich movie was going to return, trying to "intercept the cargo" while still "on flight". ![]() It makes me thing about my "the lost of the innocence" as a movie viewer. Beyond the evolution of my tastes about cinema, I recognize it will be my main obstacle to enjoy any remake about "Red Dawn".

Anyone remember a mini series called Amerika about a Soviet takeover of the US? I think it came out in the late 80's / early 90's and starred Kris Kristofferson and Sam Neill.
I also recall a mini series starring David Soul where WW3 starts with US and Soviet soldiers fighting each other in Alaska; can't remember what that one was called but the ending was pretty grim...seem to remember that scenes of the two groups fighting each other in Alaska was interspersed with shots of the two countries' leaders in their respective war rooms...as the conflict in Alaska escalated so did the likliehood of the War going nuclear...

I remember Amerika, I felt a bit let down by it as its started off with a good setting and had Quislings et all, and then it went downhill. The so-called resistance did hardly anything, Sam Neil kept boring me and the serious ended with Kris Kristofferson being shot and America divided up into a smaller more manageable territories. Imagine America letting the UN led by the Soviets taking over and the US military doing nothing about it, yet alone the Americans themselves. Geez!
I never saw that serious with David Soul (thankfully) about Alaska in WW3. Ice Station Zebra is the closest I've seen to that, although I don't know if that was set in Alaska or somewhere in the Arctic Circle. |

And the tactic that David Soul's character used called "Buzzsaw" -- I wasn't even in ROTC yet and I knew that was more of a die-in-place tactic. Laying in those pipes, you have good cover from the sides, but the front, a good spray or a grenade will take you out, and you've got no place to go.

I remember that show World War III, and sorry Brian Keith as the Russian premier didn't cut it, nor his son the kid who was the kid on "Time Travelers." I remember the premis, the Sovs were having issues, they had riots over bread, kind like 1917, so they had the Soviet Desante team do their thing and attack our Alaska oil pipeline.
It also dealt with the Sov Backfire bombers which were also a thing at that time as well, so many issues of the day were crammed into the three part mini series. And yes if the national guard troops had not had more ammo but if they would have fired on SEMI AUTO and aimed rather than fired all their ammo in a burst they could have done a dam dam to the Ruskies.

I haven't seen Seven Days in May, but Fail Safe is an iconic Cold War movie. I read the book before I saw the movie, though -- I had a totally different idea of what the Vindicator bomber looked like (I was thinking more XB-70 Valkyrie) than the B-58 Hustlers they used in the movie.
