The main villain has recurring nightmares of Chuck Norris. LOL. I love cheeseball 80s action flicks but this went, as one could say, "full retard."

Dan Oherlihy is good as ohman, but that's about it really. More stock footage used than should be humanly feasible

The "Twist" ending where it turns out it was all a dream is the few times it makes sense because this film doesn't understand war, nukes, invasion, fighting invasions, World War 2, stock footage, putting people in charge of things, taking over countries, evil and the being of, communism, Lois Lane, Russians, bears, bear cubs, the cubs, private industries, World War 3, defense, Jingoism, Xenophobia, dams, Lois Lane, and falling out of windows.

The moral of the story is that you should give your industries over to the military even in peacetime or the Commies will get you. The naked power-grab makes this one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen, and for all the wrong reasons.

Great B cast (including *two* Lois Lanes!) and odd shocking plot twist, but the ridiculous surprise ending and enough stock footage for three Ed Wood movies made it tough to navigate.

Soulless propaganda piece so loaded with boring stock footage that no amount of irony can render it watchable.

Moderately interesting premise botched beyond belief.

It'd be hilarious if it weren't so disturbing seeing US cities blowing up. "Give blood or the communists win" never sounded so earnest.

A fairly nice idea, but unfortunately not much happens except a lot of stock footage plays. Then the "dream" wrapup (complete with moral) gives the whole proceedings a training-film taint. The Cubs scene is completely hilarious though, even without MST accompaniment, and Castle is quite lovely to look at. My favorite MST line: "Hello, you're on K-WAR." Also: "That's not so funny when it's true, George."
