You forgot rocky with dolph lundgren



Also Boris and natashya from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show, even though they are from Pottsvylania we all know them 2 are based on Russian spies

Spies like us
Top gun
The falcon and the snowman
The osterman weekend
Dr Strangelove
War games

All I can think of for now…

"The Hunt For Red October"

Villainous but redeeming? Depends on ones personal take, I suppose.

ETA: "Red Heat", as well.

a reply to: EternalShadow
Eh. That was my first thought, but with his intentions being to defect from the beginning, I’m not sure it would count… unless your a Russian then yes I guess he’d be the villain.

Won't you gentlemen have a Pepsi?

Seriously though, no Red Dawn?

Edit: on second read-through, I see it now, derp. Police Academy 7.

I’m ashamed in all of y’all.

No one said Rocky IV. Sheesh.

Scratch that. Just seen Brotherman post. Has too be one the most iconic Russian Hollywood villains.

I too was astonished it wasn’t on the ops list at the very top.

"By Dawns Early Light" (1990)

I had made a thread about it --> www.abovetopsecret.com...

No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)

The Americans

You maybe want to change Red Dawn 2012 (north koreans are the invaders here) to Red Dawn 1984.
Cheers

Tbh, almost all US movies i watched in my entire childhood and teen and twen years were all propaganda against russia.

Or a video?

a reply to: Encia22

Oops, the old YT is no more.

Here's a new one.

Good ole Scorpions changed their lyrics too

changed the words of their famous song "Wind of Change" (Wind of Change) during a performance in Las Vegas in honor of supporting Ukraine in its struggle for freedom and independence.

+1 for the "wag the dog theory" ?

original

But then, out of the blue, Gorky Park struck bang back, calling their bluff!



ok not really, but close

The 2012 remake of Red Dawn, starring Chris Hemsworth, used North Korea in the role of the occupying force.

en.m.wikipedia.org...(2012_film)


It is actually the original 1984 version of the film, starring Patrick Swayze and Powers Boothe, that depicts the Russians along with the Cubans as the occupying force.


Just thought I'd clear that up, as the original is one of my favorites me being a huge Powers Boothe fan.
