Does anyone else really like this movie?

The bargain bin at Walmart, that's quite a bargain, especially compared to the other movies that are usually in those bins. I still have the original copy of this from when it first came out on video in 1991.

I really enjoy it. it is on my list of movies that I periodically have to rewatch. Aerial sequences are good and some good performances as well. I recently picked up a copy of the dvd out of the bargain bin. It is well worth the $5.50.

From what I understand, aircraft cannot return to base with ordinance still attatched. I have a little trouble with your story.

Hehe, I loved that dance, especially how the girl rolled her eyes when he did it :*D

"I create all my own moves. Here's one I learned when I was a Hippie!"

I liked the movie a lot and yeah that is a howibble funky chicken dance scene that still stands out in my mind today it's like it's some kind of an outake from Austin Powers.

Well, mainly cause the book has a pseudo-happy ending. Psueodo-happier, actually, since in the book, Cole gets rescued (it's a downed Air Force Sandy pilot, shot down while trying to locate them, who calls the Sandys in to kill him)

It was a great movie showing the hypocrisy of how our men in uniform were the best in the world yet kept from easily winning a war that scumbags like Robert McNamarra designed the idea of "containment" versus victory. The politicians did not want to win this war. They put our men in harms way for their own political philosophy.

It wasn't until Nixon (to his only credit) wanted to end the war with "honor" and attacked N. Vietnam ferociously. In fact, most Americans don't know but we did in fact win the war just as much as we "won" in Korea. We were done. We defeated the N. Vietnamese. S. Vietnam was safe and we packed up and left control of the country to the leadership of the S. Vietnamese.

In 1975, N. Vietnam broke the treaty under assurances by left-wingers in the U.S. govt. that they were safe and that the U.S. would not send any kind of military support and that they would be free to destroy S. Vietnam. Watergate was going on and it was in S. Vietnam where the Democrats started a policy of abandoning our allies and letting communism spread around the world.

President Ford begged the Congress to act and to send troops to stop the "Domino Effect" from sweeping throughout South East Asia, but as the left-wingers in the U.S. govt. promised, no support was sent, in violation of our treaty with S. Vietnam. The S. Vietnamese troops fought valiantly but were out-numbered and out-gunned by the Soviet armed N. Vietnamese troops.

It didn't take long, and S. Vietnam was wiped off the face of the world map. As a final betrayal of our soldiers, many of our MIA's, who we had proof were being held captive, were left behind to rot forever. The legacy of the Democrats is one of betrayal, deceit, treason, and disgrace.

As to why this film didn't do very well at the box office, this film would have done better but the release date happened during Operation Desert Storm (people were glued to their TV's watching the real war) and the liberal reviewers hated the patriotic tint of the film.
