I read some article a few years ago, interesting.
Said the remake was written , specifically, to show the Chi Comms invading the USA. So the leftlsts Hollywood power types threw a fit. Made them change the plot and made the invaders..North Koreans or something?
Even though China is the only country in the world now with enough shipping, money and power to attempt it.
Shows the influence of Chinese communists in Hollywood.
It was so bad I don’t recall much about it other than it was a complete waste of my time.
Indeed it was to show Chicoms invading. They also threw a fit when Tom Cruise refused to remove the Taiwan badge on his flight jacket in Top Gun 2.
