A group of teenagers look to save their town from an invasion of North Korean soldiers.

1. I'm scared of seeing any movie that can change a nationality of an army in ONLY two scenes

All they did was change the chinese characters into Korean characters and edit two scenes. I think this is going to be such a sucky movie now.

[whogasa736]

11. I will Pass

What a Stupid Idea

[Orrex]

2. It would take a lot of work to make it worse than the original

But I suspect that they'll manage it.

[LynneSin]

3. I will not see the new "Red Dawn" in the theaters...

I'm paranoid I'll be surrounded by a bunch of teabaggers jerking off to the movie.

[MrCoffee]

22. What, jerking off to Red Dawn makes me a teabagger?

Jerk.

[EOTE]

23. No, you're jerking off to Patrick Swayze.

So you're exempt.

[MrScorpio]

4. North Koreans? Surely, they can't be serious...

And how are they going to get here, by balloon?

Some things should never be remade, especially by morons.

10. My morning laugh

instead of Cuban paratroopers landing just outside of the high school of a nowhere Kansas/Colorado/whogivesa it will be North Korean hot air balloons...because NO ONE would see that coming.

:rofl:

[slay]

13. It was supposed to be the Chinese - in fact many parts of the film had to be re-edited

to change the Chinese to North Koreans. Ugh. I hate censorship.

"Without Beijing even uttering a critical word, MGM is changing the villains in its 'Red Dawn' remake from Chinese to North Korean. It's all about maintaining access to the Asian superpower's lucrative box office."

~snip~

"As a result, the filmmakers now are digitally erasing Chinese flags and military symbols from "Red Dawn," substituting dialogue and altering the film to depict much of the invading force as being from North Korea, an isolated country where American media companies have no dollars at stake."

21. That isn't censorship. It's marketing 101.

Movie is already an insult no matter who the so-called bad guys are.

[slay]

24. It's both

and yeah, i have no intention of watching that movie. I'm much more concerned about "The Cabin in the Woods" being picked up and distributed. Was originally set to be released in February of 2010! Stupid MGM and their horrible finances.

28. They should have just had the Taliban riding in on goats.

It would have been every bit as believable, and at least we're already fighting them.

[krispos42]

34. They'll sneak into South Korea...

...and disguise themselves as Hyundais. :scared:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

5. The Russians could be badmouthed at will, but the Chinese must be pandered to.

Am I the only one who's intensely annoyed by this?

[Throd]

6. Hell, we'll just chuck food at 'em.

[eShirl]

17. +1

[alphafemale]

29. That was my very first thought.

North Koreans? Invading?

Those poor boys must be hungry after that long swim.

:rofl:

[old mark]

31. give them all gift certificates to Burger King-probably kill them with all

the meat...

[pinniped]

7. The invasion force will be stuck on the West Coast because....

I don't think they can make it too far inland.

This is ridiculous.

[sakabatou]

8. *headdesk*

[NewJeffCT]

9. and they have Wonder Woman in the cast

the new one - Adrianne Palicki

And, North Korea can't even invade & take over South Korea... how can they make it to the US shores?

[baldguy]

12. .

[LeftinOH]

14. One of the intrepid kids is the son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman (Connor Cruise)-

not that it means this film will be any good, of course.

[bif]

15. Some of it was shot about a mile from m¥ home!

I drove by the set a bunch of times.

[bikebloke]

16. I'd prefer to see the Aussie version.

Tomorrow, When the War Began

Go Wombats!...?

[hunter]

18. I'm trying to imagine North Korean soldiers in a U.S. city...

... sucked immediately into a Super Wal-Mart where they would stuff themselves with junk food, watch television, and race gleefully up and down the aisles on bicycles.

I think they'd be more of a danger to themselves than to others.

[hifiguy]

19. Ye gads

They are scraping the bottom of the remake barrel.

The dad of my best friend in law school played the first guy killed by the commies in that movie.

[Fire Walk With Me]

20. This time they should be badgers, not wolverines.

They can sing "badger badger badger" and piss off the invaders.

[Denninmi]

25. They filmed this in my area.

A lot of the scenes were filmed in Pontiac and Mt. Clemens, Michigan.

I saw a little bit of the original on tv once. Not really my genre, I prefer comedies and serious dramas to shoot-em-ups.

[MrScorpio]

26. That's my neck of the woods

Missed the whole thing

[Iggo]

27. I've already seen Red Dawn, and it was perfect.

Avenge me!

[krispos42]

30. ???

[underpants]

32. These Star Trek posts are cracking me up.

:rofl:

[krispos42]

33. Oh, well, here ya go...

[Paladin]

35. Yeah, Let's Make Nice With China........

....since they have such a financial hold on this country. Meanwhile, let's make movie villains out of troops from a country with nuclear weapons at the control of a lunatic dictator. Everybody sleep well tonight......

[Yukari Yakumo]

36. So basically it's "Homefront: The Movie"

Oh, this is too delicious...

Homefront is set in a near future America in 2027 when a nuclear-armed Korean People's Army invades the USA. The game is written by John Milius, who co-wrote Apocalypse Now and wrote/directed Red Dawn. The opening gameplay is reportedly set in Montrose, Colorado.<8>
