Save your money for something good and enjoyable

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I was in high school when I saw this movie. Along with Red Dawn etc. we were all paranoid about the soviets pulling a fast one. I thought the Tangerine Dream music was AWESOME! The acting wasn't super, and the plot was OK, but the underlying story was great. Especially considering the last gasps of the cold war. Some of the effects were hokey but not really any worse than the James Bond movies or similar of the same era. It was all real stunts and so on, no CGI back then. Ken Wahl and his partners did a great job with what they had. This movie is VERY hard to find on DVD or online etc. Although somewhat early in his career, it showed that Ken Wahl could carry a movie on his own and that he had a good future in acting, TV and movies.

This is the best movie I ever saw in my life. I first saw it when I was 14 year old, and I've watched it over 100 times since then. In fact, I practically watch it every single morning, when I'm nearing my downtime, before going to bed.I always feel a weeping sensation in my heart for those poor KGB agents who get unmercifully executed in the first part of the movie, just because of the stupid mistake of the rookie agent, of forgetting to not keep the baby carriage far enough out in front of her.You all keep forgetting that when the CIA agent jumped the wall into East Berlin, he was surrounded by the EAST German MILITARY, and the HEAD of the KGB training camp said to him "well, it's too bad you weren't able to convince the Americans that you were right!!!" I personally believe that that part about him and his Jewess just walking our of EAST BERLIN was total BULLSHIT!!!!!!!! I think that movie was shown out of sequence, in the wrong order. I don't think those Nuclear Bombs at Silo 8 were being used for an attack against MOSCOW, I think they were being used against ISRAEL, in order to drive the ISRAELIS off the WEST BANK of the JORDAN RIVER!!!!!!!! What I will do is, I will re-edit the movie, and see if I can discover the correct time sequence that points to that conclusion, and then when it get's there, I will merge it will the phone call scene in Miracle Mile, where Dr. Greene gets his little phone call, and Tasha Yar starts planning her failed trip to Antarctica.Do you have your plane tickets from ChristChurch, NZ to Lake Vostok, Russian Federation, handy. You may need them soon.Very truly yours, NVA

I saw it when it first came out, and I think I was a sophomore in high school. Carter and his "maliase" (pardon the spelling) were out, Reagan and his pro-America anti-evil empire were in. The Soviets were considered a real threat. Perhaps like today's Bin Laden with a few thousand nukes pointed at us.Yes, the acting tended to be stiff, and there were some things that happened in the movie that didn't make too much sense. You know what? It was not a documentary. Tangerine Dream did an excellent job with the score, the opening scene was great, good action sequences that were of course pro-American, and it had a patriotic ending. It was a good movie for it's time. Back in 1982, it was considered very cool to be very patriotic, and this movie fit the time.

I was nearly added as an extra on this film but I passed when asked. Instead my friends, who made the cut, had to spend 2-3 days walking in and out of doors to a cable-car/tram at the Kapall in St Anton to be part of the film. It was really boring according to them, but they managed to rub shoulders with Mr Wahl and the famous Mr Kinski.We all worked as tour-guides for a Swedish travel agency that winter and we had been asked when visiting the Krazy Kangaroh*, also included in the film, if we wanted to be part of the film as extras. As a matter of fact I said no to be a part of the film and but my friends, who accepted, had to stand inside being filmed and missed the chance to ski in glorious sun and skiing conditions. We had 6-8 feet's of snow that winter and lot's of powder.Anyway, I ended up seeing the film later that year when I happened to stumble upon the film at a small cinema in Paris, France. It was of course dubbed to french with no subtitles but I really enjoyed the film scenes from St Anton and the stone-faced Mr Kinski. But I really couldn't make out what the film was about...! */ There is a scene in the film when the hero is doing a 360 over a ski jump and shooting bad guys at the same time. He then lands on restaurant tables and that scene is from KK. KK's owner, Gunnar Munthe, is standing in the audience watching in amazement.
