I had that movie on in the background for the last GrogCast we recorded :)

Some people have way too much free time on their hands. LoL

When I was a kid, i LOVED this movie. I was so pissed that they killed Doug off in the first 5 minutes of Part 2, and adding insult to injury, he was killed by an F4 Phantom masquerading as a Russian Mig!

I think I only ever saw the first one.

Wow! Here all this time I thought the movie was 'fact-based'.     Up next, Clint Eastwood in the Mig 32 Firefox?

Sorry for the spoiler, but the movie is 30 years old.

Much more realistic. He re-armed and re-fueled from that sub on the ice sheet. Cliff Clavin was part of the crew.

I used to have that soundtrack permanently attached to my Walkman in 8th grade. It was my usual 'walking home from the train station' music
I even plotted out an entire sequel in my head, using the same soundtrack, for IE2, before they ever got around to making the shitty follow-up

It was a shock, but I'll recover :P

Louis Gossett Jr was the man!!

Lou Gossett Jr. and I went to the same high school.

Lou Gossett Jr lived in the Shire?

[Gusington]

Yep.

That's why I'm here. That and Hobbit/Shire/armored dwarf jokes.
