I didn't even know this movie was available! I saw it at its opening in 1982. I was probably in a similar state to Neil and Russ, et al, who wrote it and played in it. Still, it's a great flick, sign of its time. I'm thrilled you youngsters are watching it, if only to pan it. Welcome to the world your parents and grandparents grew up in. You ain't seen paranoia until you lived in the cold war! Duck and cover was a routine of our school day. The commies were coming, the commies were coming!! Similar line today and for similar reasons, different "terrorists".
A good movie to watch for a glimpse of the birth of the culture of fear.
