Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the Soviet officer Capt. Ivan Danko (or as Jim Belushi's character always calls him, Gumby) who travels to America to capture a Russian mafia criminal. Arnold is the perfect Soviet- emotionless, efficient and obedient.
Warren Beatty directs and stars in this epic about the most crucial period in Soviet history- the Bolshevik revolution. Had it not happened, Stalin would never have developed the treacherous USSR.
Rambo is sadistically tortured by an evil Soviet officer (played by Steven Berkoff). He also wipes out an entire army of Soviet soldiers single handedly.
A cold war comedy about a submarine that accidentally runs aground off New England.
The socialist state of Russia that was the Soviet Union is now long gone, but it's legendary oppression and persecution live on in film. These are non-Russian films in which the USSR has been portrayed in.
Nice list, comrade! Did you know that Arnold Schwarzenegger's director on "Red Heat" advised him to watch Greta Garbo's performance in "Ninotchka" in order to get a better handle on his character, and he was only able to nail it after he took that advice?
That's one reason why I decided to watch "Red Heat" recently. I wanted to see the connection between Arnold's performance and Garbo's, and if you watch both pictures, you can totally see it!
