Mr. Eckert from Red Dawn
Rarely in cinema history can a character make such an impressinon being in only one single scene in a movie. However, Mr. Eckert from Red Dawn accomplishes this feat with relative ease. Mr. Eckert has been captured by the Russians for not cooperating with them. In other words, he acted like a real man and didn’t roll over and make it easy for them to occupy his home town.
When his two sons, Jed and Matt come to visit him at the “re-education” camp, Mr Eckert gives them one of the best lessons of all time. Words alone, can not adequately convey Mr. Eckert’s power and courage, so I had to include the scene below. “AVENGE ME!!!!!!!”
