huKSer Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Exactly the same as the original except: Chinese invade America instead of Russians/Cubans/Nicoroguans Except: Having Chinese attack America is deemed pollitcly incorrect so post-production edit to North Koreans Spoiler alert: The North Koreans are defeated when a side of beef is found behind their lines - they break ranks to get their first good meal in two years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dawn_%282012_film%29 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 That sounds completely stupid. The main reason Red Dawn worked was its release at the height of the Cold War, when the USSR was a viable threat. China cannot attack us because we are their biggest creditor. They attack us, they lose trillions and cripple their economy. North Korea can barely attack South Korea, let alone the U.S. It would be the single greatest failure of an offensive ever. The entire premise of this movie is stupid. They need to stop. Now. Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 maybe it will be so bad it will be good? Do you mean just like the original, so bad it's good? I mean come on. The script and the acting were awful in the original- but I've watched it 20x. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Is the spoiler alert a joke? I sort of can't tell. Quote Link to comment

Wow, I was 10-12 when that came out, every kid with a truck and shotgun (read, EVERY Nebraska farm kid) thought they were the last line of defense when those Commies would come over the line..
