Too bad she died later in Red Dawn

That was Jennifer Grey. Ruined her career.

Did Lea Thompson survive?

Rudy has since been discovered to largely be a fabrication.

No worse than most of the Hollywood hero "histories".

RTT is the ABC Afterschool Special of sports movies, just one vacuous cliche
