Yes.

They are remaking it I hear. The original had Egyptian AKs modded to look more Russian.

They were Valmets actually.

 

[Deckard]

There are a couple of M78s in that movie (ie. as an RPK), but by and large, they are Maadis. Look at the trunnion/rear sight block.

Long Mountain Outfitters
At the time of the movie “Red Dawn”, there were few semi auto AK style firearms in the United States. The relatively expensive Egyptian Maadi and Finnish Valmet variants were about the only choice for conversion. Class 2 manufacturer Marty Pearl at Pearl Manufacturing supplied the registered conversion work on all of these guns.

Total of 32 "Red Dawn" Maadi AKM Machine Guns
Valmet M78 "Red Dawn" Machine Guns, Total of 2

Meanwhile, Lord of War had racks of VZ-58s.

I still like; Enemy At The Gates.

A classic and fine addition to any DVD library. Based on a true story to boot!

Leon sports an awesome tactical AK in it. Unfortunately, can't be seen in the trailer. Fun movie though, wish the live action versions were this good.

 

[Maverick22]

Not a movie, but season 2 of Strike Back has some awesome scenes with the CZ858

 

[Nelson84]

TAI Guk GI

I what a few scenes from the movie above and is it just in Asians nature to run straight into bullets? Seriously try flanking them or something. Or maybe they pride themselves on high body counts.
