About this Article

"Red Dawn" gave actor Josh Peck his first chance to brandish some military firearms. How did he like it? "Super fun!" he told me. "When you're letting that aggression — these are real guns shooting blanks — there's an odd sort of fantasy fulfillment that has to do with it. It was just exciting! I don't know anyone, male or female, who hasn't had that fantasy of letting a machine gun roar."
