How about if Washington DC is invaded by Community Organizers?

They can barely occupy their own country right now.

Before I go and see it, or buy, I’m downloading it first.

Way too old and I wodner how many times vulgarities will be dropped. The fascination was watching carefree highschoolers become hardened soldiers.

“The Red Chinese were the villains and it was set to be released last year (December I think”

So I remember. Pity it didn’t happen and perhaps it was jarring to them to see their intentions so played out.

“North Korean INVADE America.

What a laugh!”

How true. We can enjoy fiction as long as there is a good story. But, audiences need some semblance of plausibility.

It is simply implausible that NK would invade the US. Maybe set off a series of smuggled nukes in our major cities or blast an EPM from a freighter off shore.

You know, I always thought the best remake of Red Dawn would be an invasion of Islamic Jihadis. What a great story that would be. Perhaps there are groups of terrorists who emerge from hidden terror camps on our soil to set off a series of terror attacks.

Guess an invasion of an Islamic army would be implausible as well.

They do look idiotic; more trashy than rugged.

I'd believe invaders from the Duchy of Grand Fenwick before I'd believe North Korea invades America.

“Should have been Muslim nuclear terrorists coming across “should have been the border from Mexico aided by drug cartel and Latin American Communist military forces.”

AFTER the election of a weak, inexperienced, anti-American President who has a Muslim father and grandfather and thinks that the “call to prayer” is the most beautiful sound in the world.

The new president, let’s call him Buddy Husein, starts the war by inviting hundreds of Muslim military units to come to the US for sensitivity training as a means of reaching out to them, showing that we mean the Islamic world no harm and as a way of building their self esteem.

Once Obama is finished, we won’t even be able to defend ourselves from a Canadian invasion.

“They could make a movie about terror cells attacking
malls in the mid west and everday american families
using ingenuity....but nooooooo.”

Can’t do that. It might hurt Osama bin Laden’s feelings.

Easy now, we already did invade, quite successfully I might add, but no reason to dig at us, I for one would consider it a good trade if I gave my life to restore the original constitution, and I’m not even American. How many Americans would? The ones on this site probably yes, but in the entire country, how many?

“Hollywood remake of Red Dawn spends $1m to change villains from Chinese to North Koreans... so as not to offend Beijing”

North Korean villains? Racism rearing its ugly head again. That’s way too controversial for Hollywood. It’s going to be the Albanians.

The Warriors is a “cult classic” film from the late 1970s. The basic premise is about one street gang (The Warriors) falsely accused of murdering the leader of the biggest gang in the city during the truce. Every gang in the city is after them as they try to get from the Bronx (where the murder happened) to home turf in Coney Island. It’s very over-the-top, but an absolute blast to watch.
