      John Milius made the Three Great Wars fantasy film. He is certainly not a good director, but his lines are super ruthless. "Soldier boy, let you meet the Soviet men who see death as home!" "I've seen a lot of them, buddy"-"Who is the one with us?" "Six hundred million Chinese shouting" "I heard about China There are a billion people?" "That's the...

      Delusions of persecution broke out in the United States. The Soviet Union united with neighboring countries to invade the United States, paratroopers fell from the sky, and students ran into the mountains to fight guerrillas, still fighting for freedom. You have to listen to me, the protagonist says so, and so do the...

    Movie quotes

    • Col. Andy Tanner: [using a crude diorama, the Wolverines prepare for an assault on the Calumet Drive-In, which is now a Russo-Cuban "Re-education Camp"] All right. Four planes. Cuban bunker, Russian bunker. munitions dump, troop tents. Four machine gun bunkers. Back here by the drive-in screen are your political prisoners. We'll cause a diversion over here... cut holes in the wire here, fire on all these machine gun positions. The B-Group comes across this area in a flanking maneuver... and when you reach this bunker, you lay down grazing fire on this defilade. I think that's pretty simple. Anybody got any questions so far?

      Aardvark: What's a "flank?"

      Toni: What's a "defilade?"

      Robert: What's "grazing fire?"

      Col. Andy Tanner: [out loud, to himself] I need a drink.

    • Mr. Mason: [the Wolverines arrive at the Mason house, where they will be joined by Toni and Erica] We got us some outlaws here.

      Jed Eckert: Wow, a house.

      Mr. Mason: Go on and find a chair.

      Robert: Last time we were in a house was five weeks.

      Mr. Mason: You look it.

    • Mayor Bates: [in Mayor Bates' office, where he is being questioned by Colonel Bella] Daryl, he wouldn't hurt a fly. I know my son, Colonel. He's not the guerrilla type.

      Colonel Ernesto Bella: According to records, Mayor... your son is a prominent student leader.

      Mayor Bates: Yes, well... he's a leader, but not in a violent or physical way. You see, Daryl... he's more of a politician, like his father.

      Colonel Ernesto Bella: A member of an elite paramilitary organization: "Eagle Scouts."

      Mayor Bates: Yes, but that's not military. If he's alive, he's scared, he's hungry... and he's just as anxious to avoid conflicts as you and me. He's not a troublemaker.

      Colonel Ernesto Bella: Then who is?

      Mayor Bates: ...It runs in some of the families.

      Colonel Ernesto Bella: [to an aide-de-camp] This community is indeed fortunate to have a shepherd like him.

      Mayor Bates: Well, I just want to see this thing through, Colonel.
