What's left behind the scenes

  • The first promotional trailer for the film included a scene in which a tank drives into a McDonald's restaurant where enemy soldiers are eating. This episode was not included in the film because shortly before its premiere, a mass shooting occurred at a McDonald's restaurant in the Canadian town of San Isidro.
  • In a Russian camp, American prisoners of war are shown the film 'Alexander Nevsky' (1938).
  • In one edition of the Guinness Book of World Records, this film is listed as the most violent, as it contained a record number of acts of violence at the time.
  • Before filming, the actors underwent an 8-week, rather intensive military training course.
  • A mock-up of the Soviet T-72 tank was created with such accuracy that when it was brought to the studio, two CIA agents arrived and inquired where it had been obtained.
  • The plot of the film (which, among other things, deals with the invasion of Soviet troops into the US from Mexican territory) was based on research by the CIA and the War College, which identified weaknesses in the American army.
  • “Red Dawn” was the first film released with a PG-13 rating. In fact, the first film with such a rating was “The Flamingo Kid” (1984), but it had to sit “on the shelf” for five months.
  • In West Germany, the film was criticized and even withdrawn from release in some cities (Berlin, Düsseldorf, Freiburg).
  • The original title of the screenplay was "Ten Soldiers".
  • The submachine gun carried by Strelnikov is a Jati-matic GG-95 PDW manufactured in Finland. Only about 400 of them were produced.
