no news crews????????


I believe that there would be national and global news crews at Bunker Hill
maybe even the President of The United States even in 1981

There were news crews, the story was constantly on the news as it happened, it was only a minor part of the story though, and speaking of this film, realistically wouldn't the army dudes have stormed in and brought them out on the first day, seriously, I know the kids had weapons but a bit of intimidation and tear gas would have got them through.

I would say "local" news ...im sure the army could have but like "First Blood" it was the National Gard / weekend warriors/ morons ....I think Ronald Reagan would have been on TV maybe asking the boys to surrender....this movie is pretty ridiculous

Your probably right about that and yes the film is a little ridiculous, but it's brilliant! It's the best non-gay-actually-gay film ever! Oh! How I love it!

I just watched this again the other day...how do you mean non gay/gay ???????
