While “Red Dawn” is celebrated for its gripping action sequences and depiction of teenage resistance against a Russian invasion, Jennifer Grey recently shared insights into a more intimate moment that didn’t make the final cut. The actress revealed that her sex scene with Patrick Swayze was derailed due to a mix of nerves and substance use.
“We were in this sleeping bag, and he was nervous or whatever, and he came into the sleeping bag drunk,” Grey recalled. The moment—one of the few opportunities for emotional depth in the film—was ultimately scrapped.
