    I’m reminded of the overzealous brainwashed commie obsessively quoting Mao in that one terrible B-movie where the US builds a bridge as cover for CIA stuff and the commies find out…

    Volunteers (1985) with John Candy as the American who gets brainwashed by the Maoists into a not so sleeper agent.

      Yep, that’s the one… “We can sleep after the revolution!” Some sleeper agent…

      I’m amazed the Americans had the self awareness to make that kind of film while the Cold War was still ongoing. I really am.
