"Red Dawn" was one of the definitive films of the 80s. In the film, American teens fight off a Russian invasion. Hollywood has decided to remake "Red Dawn", but times have changed. The enemy is no longer the Soviet Union, but China. In the movie, the mighty Chinese army invades a small town in the US. The only ones who could stop them are a group of plucky high-school students. But when they considered the Chinese box office, the execs got cold feet and changed the baddies from Chinese to North Koreans digitally in post-production.
damnit I wanted the invaders to be somalis.
I hate remake and this looks like a movie that I’ll skip.What’s the matter with these Hollywood producers and directors?Don’t they have an original thought?
Since I grew up in Michigan I was looking forward to the remake to see if I recognized any of the places it was filmed, but with the politically correct bending over to the chinese, screw it.
They did it to Tom Clancy also..remember...Muslim terrorists became neo-Nazis unleashing a nuke in the USA..almost as bad as having Ben Affleck play Jack Ryan..though I never could decide who was worse..Ben or Alec Baldwin
They could have made the invaders European, speaking that harsh Austrian language.
And they are sure the Chinese would be offended, and not see it as utterly hilarious?

Baldwin was an excellent Jack Ryan. He has become a pretty good comic actor now, too.
But he is still an insane lib.
Amusing? As in “laughable”? I was considering seeing this flick (if it ever gets released), but now I refuse to put a nickel in the pockets of these craven bootlickers.
North Koreans invading Michigan?
ok....
Somebody grab a screen shot of Zero being handed a repo-notice by the Chicom and his two panda goons in the oval office.
The baddies of Clancy’s “The Sum of All Fears” were MUZZIE KOOKS FROM HELL. But aaafter Hollyweird finished, they were instead blonde-haired South African mercenaries yammering away in Aferkaans.
They were even flipping their LONG blonde hair around. Everyone had blue eyes and frowned a lot.
I’m sure we all wake up in the night, paralyzed with fear about getting attacked by long-haired, blonde South African mercenaries.
RIGHT...?
It’s just as well they ruined it even further. I was dreading the new Wolverines with the Asian kid, the Muslim kid, the Black girl, the kid in the wheel chair, etc etc.
The whole premise is destroyed.
NK has not the numbers to invade, much less the machinery. It makesfar more sense for the Chinese to invade than the NK.
Just sank their own film. I can’t believe it would be much better than the first one. Special effects, probably. Maybe some less corny dialogue in certain spots. Maybe more.
I think you’re thinking of a different movie. The only blond in “The Sum of All Fears” was the big German with the flattop.
I believe you’re thinking of one of the ridiculously PC “Lethal Weapon” movies. I’m pretty sure it was 2, that had the long blond hair, and were South Afrikaans. Of course this gave Danny (I couldn’t be a bigger liberal pinhead)Glover to go off on an anti apartheid screed. If you watch closely everyone of the “Lethal Weapon” movies had some leftist PC crap in the plot, or a properly placed poster, it was shameless.
If they want cinéma vérité they should have had the town invaded by Obama’s Marxist urban zombie “civilian national security force”.
I was watching Scrooged a short while back. I remembered I liked the movie, but forgot about the anti-aparthied posters in the movie. IIRC, the posters used were black fists beating down white figures.
The Norks wouldn’t invade the heartland, they’d stop at the first all you can eat buffet.
