Red Dawn Keeps American, Patriotic Feel of Original
MTV Movies Blog ^ | 01/27/10 | Eric Ditzian

Posted on 01/30/2010 8:14:45 PM PST by Karma Police

"Call it "a live-action 'Call of Duty.'" Call it "fast, smart, hard." Call it a remake, a reimagining, whatever. The new "Red Dawn" is high on our list of action flicks that have us pumped about the 2010 cinema schedule. And while the updated version will make some key changes to the 1984 flick's storyline, the original's red, white and blue center will stay just the same."

The communists invaded and won already.

Anyway, I love the original, I hope the remake doesn’t suck too bad.

They filmed all around me for several weeks this past summer. It was fascinating. I really hope they do a good job!

Invaded by Chinese? That’s just not believable. They should have us being invaded by Nazis.

A lot of it was filmed in the Detroit area. Bombs going off, chase scenes with lots of gunfire.

And nobody noticed anything out of the ordinary...

Not to be an ass but I believe the quote is “600 million screaming Chinamen”

I have seen the original at least a hundred times. My dad and I use to watch it on a copied VCR tape all the time when I was younger. I look back at it now an think he was grooming me to be a Conservative.

I’ve got the original on DVD. Somehow I don’t think this remake will be able to compare. And, WHY do they need to remake these films in the first place? Has there suddenly been a culling of script-writers out there?

I’ve got the DVD, I suppose I could pop it in and give you a confirmation on the exact quote... In fact, I think I will. It’s been a few months since I’ve watched it. Oh, and yes, I’ve forced all my kids to watch the movie, although they were well on their way to being Conservatives already! LOL

In the remake, it’s the chicoms that are the bad guys invading America.

The Chicago communists have already taken the White House.

LOL!!!

Let me rephrase: They filmed in my neighborhood and town for several weeks this past summer!! They did have port-a-potties set up outside my fence around my backyard for the crew, but I doubt they filmed them!

This must be the fake account that you vent with, the moderator may want to take a look at your short posting history, it is revealing, especially combined with that sign on name that you chose.
