The US played Finland for the Gold medal in '80. They had to beat the USSR to get there.
This movie will piss every Canadian off. It's American propaganda at work. Everyone knows Canada is the first nation of Hockey, but nobody is going to make a movie about the summit series in '72, or our 7 gold medal wins at the olympics, or our 5 stright gold medals from '93 to '97 in World Jrs.
Here's a couple facts about the movie:
During filming at a residence of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, rowdy residents disturbed filming by hanging USSR flags in the residence windows, reporting the shoot to the fire marshal, yelling distracting taunts at the actors, and even stealing 'Kurt Russell' 's chair.
To rally the crowd of Canadian extras to cheer for the American Olympic team, First Assistant Director Pete Whyte held up a Canadian flag and skated around the ice of Vancouver's PNE Agrodome, waving it wildly.
