Kind of a sad story from RED DAWN production

[OLS]

Yes this is a cool story, but definitely, its sad if you love Southern Michigan.

MM: From what I heard, you shot this in Detroit and pretty much were given free rein to blow up everything.

CH: It was crazy. I remember we were shooting in the city -- downtown in Detroit -- at three in the morning,
and literally blowing things up and firing weapons and what have you. And I said, "Are we going to disturb the
neighbors?" Unbeknownst to me, a lot of that area was empty buildings. We were somehow allowed to do it,
and it was insane. We have this run of the city, and it was like a big giant set because it was a bit of a ghost
town in certain areas.

All from this Yah-hew story.
