How old am I that someone has to post this and explain Red Dawn? Damn.

Feel your pain brother

That was the summer between parochial school graduation and freshman year of H.S. for me, grew up with everyone of those actors and actresses on that movie poster.

Hard to believe it, but Swayze was always the outlier of the group as he was a decade older than everyone, even though he always played the older brother role. Just the previous summer he was rescuing Vietnam POW’s with Gene Hackman & Randall Tex Cobb(that’ll show your age ).
