Red Yawn

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Reds have already taken Washington...

A years-later release rarely bodes well for any movie. More often than not, it's because it's just really bad and they know they won't recoup any of the money they sunk into it.
One positive that could redeem it is that the antagonist is supposedly the red chinese. I'm flabbergasted they didn't make the "invaders" southern whites and Oathkeepers.

[who knows what evil?]

The Reds have the schools, the media, AND Washington...

They’ve changed them from the Chinese to the North Koreans. For real.

They changed from Red Chinese to North Koreans...can’t irritate our new overlords.

[Vermont Lt]

November second foretells a horrible movie. That week is a throwaway week—after the fall releases of slasher movies, and before the award winners and holiday blockbusters.

This is akin to when the networks burn episodes of a weak sitcom during the early summer months.

They might just as well send it directly to ITunes.

Awesome, dude! At “just the right” age, RED DAWN helped awaken me to the importance of bravery, vigilance, and firearms ownership. Let’s just pray there are no “global warming” themes running through the flick. And yes: the prospect of a North Korean invading army is just about as ludicrous as the prospect of a Cuban invading army, but what the heck. WOLVERINES!

[who knows what evil?]

Well...guess THIS coffee isn’t waking me up fast enough... :-)

The new cast looks like a bunch of PC metrosexuals. I am not going to post the photo. Better to remember the original Wolverines:

John Milius original movie had the Soviets and their Cuban allys attack America....Not the Chinese

Supposedly, this release was originally filmed with the Chinese (flags, text, etc.) but had to be "corrected" with CGI to show North Koreans. I expect this movie will only be interesting for finding mistakes in that correction to see how much Chinese stuff slips through. Get out the blu-ray player and the pause button.

[C. Edmund Wright]

They felt the need for a remake of this movie?

[rawcatslyentist]

Another commie money pit for the capitalists to throw their cash in.

In the original the Red Army invaded the US through Alaska into the central US. The Cubans, backed by the Soviets, invaded through Texas. Maybe you need to watch the original again. Denver CO was under siege from the Red Army in the North and the Cuban/SA commies from the south. The USA was split just like the CSA in 1864.

[2nd Bn, 11th Mar]

My subtitle for the movie:

The Wolverines get diversity.

[Snake65]

Love the original. Though I will admit that without Powers Boothe, Harry Dean Stanton, and Ben Johnson it would have gone off the rails. You need a few decent veteran actors to anchor the kids (though Swayze in that scene where he’s crying over the picture of his childhood buddy is awesome).

[TomGuy]

I’ve noticed in many TV programs and recent movies that the old school [KGB and mafia] Ruskies are the bad guys again.

And, of course, the mentally messed up, Bible thumping, anti-social loaners are frequent bad guys, as always.

Movie and TVLand just recycle the same ole scripts.

[The Charlie’s Angels remake and Wonder Woman remakes were such great hits [/s] that Hollywood is working on a remake of The Munsters. tsk tsk tsk]
