Red Dawn (2012) - "Failed attack" Clip

reddawnfilm.com/
Synopsis:
A city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky - shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to protect one another, liberate their town from its captors, and take back their freedom.

[@nagaykei6611]

The fact that this remake exists is already a war crime

[@Keys879]

@Big Daddy From what I understand it was supposed to be the Chinese but the script/premise was changed so as not to offend the Chinese. If a media piece offends Xi or the Chinese Party they count a strike against Hollywood (or the production office) and with too many, they just ban all media from that source. They've done it before. So Hollywood in general is very careful not to offend the Chinese Censors/Government.

[@tsdobbi]

@Big Daddy However, it was mostly Cubans that were in the area in the OG red dawn. Literally the main villain was Cuban.

[@deloreandmc88]

China is the country to most likely pull what happens in this film off, yet they used NK to please their communist investors in Hollywood. Disgusting.

[@hypnomarket8649]

​@@tsdobbi Nicaragua and Cuban special forces

[@kanaric]

The fact it was remade with North Korea as the villain is even worse than a war crime.

[@MrJH101]

Half the comments on here don't understand that the North Koreans were actually supposed to be the Chinese. That's how it was when they filmed all of it, but then the producers changed it in post-production because China would've banned it and the studio would have lost a ton of money. My advice to you if you decide to watch this film is to imagine the invading force as the People's Liberation Army, seeing as how that's who they were supposed to be and that's why all their uniforms and weapons resemble theirs. I got nothing against the Chinese people, but there's no way in hell North Korea could ever launch an invasion against the US, China at least has a better chance of doing so. Also note how the characters in this almost never refer to the occupying force as North Korean, they edited a lot of dialogue.

[@meklowthelemur861]

Given that china has ZERO means to deafest the US navy short of nukes and Sub-warfare, it's unlikely, but indeed more believable than N.K.

[@biocaster777]

@saxon priestIn that movie the Cubans and the Soviet Eastern bloc did a joint invasion, that's why there is a Cuban general in it lol, did you watch the whole movie

[@andezong9565]

I like to imagine that the PLA donated a shit ton of surplus spare uniforms, weapons, gear, etc. to the KPA since in the movie, Jed did say that North Korea had to have have help. China probably provided a ton of logistical help in terms of assets.

[@buffbanana15]

Yo...I just came across this clip today. I'M the guy whose voice you hear in the background. If you pause this clip at 2:13, it's me. So the people who pitched the idea that the Chinese should be the villains in the movie totally forgot that China never airs anything in their country that makes them the villain. It wasn't until the movie was shot and edited that they decided to re-edit and splice it so the new villains could be North Koreans. So much of the original movie was cut. The final product is crap. You know what's funny? That voice you hear...is not entirely me. I was asked to re-record my lines in a studio but had to decline because I was working on another project. You know what these people did? They hired a guy to mimic the sound of my voice, and digitally blended both sound tracks together. The joys of moviemaking.

[@temporalwake157]

If the invaders had been chinese I think I would have liked this movie more

[@trevoranderson7182]

Definitely. Then you aren't thinking the whole time "dafuq? How does a nation with barely any industry, a starving military, failing in almost every way manage to take on and succeed in invading a major superpower like the US?"

[@351cleavland]

It was filmed with the chinese as the invaders. BUT the studios shelved the movie for a few years. WHY? The Chinese movie market in the past several years has become a greater money-maker than the American Market. So, the CGI work was finished altering all mentions of Chinese uniforms, flags, language, ect and changed to be N. Korean.

[@NyuuMikuru1]

When they made the movie it was chinese. Bigwigs hollywood afraid of wronging chinese so they changed it to NK which is why it took two years to complete. Yeah they were all chinese invasion cause they made a scene in Pontiac, not NK invasion.

[@ColonelBragg]

yeah well they shouldn't have done that regardless because its pretty obvious most chinese aren't going to pay to see this movie regardless of who is invading the US

Cubans and Nicarauguans taking over half the country is almost as unbelievable as North Koreans taking over all of it. And yeah, I know it''s supposed to be China, but that's another reason this is bullshit: The studio got cold feet at the last second and replaced a slightly unbelievable enemy with a completely unbelievable one. They were scared of the Chinese reaction? The goddamn Chinese would have LOVED to see themselves fucking up the U.S. The only reason anybody likes this shit at all is because they imagine themselves fighting as heroic and invincible guerillas against (insert favored enemy, domestic or foreign, here) and it thrills them.

This actually would have made sense if Korea had become the Vietnam of this cinematic universe's timeline and the Communist revolution had won the civil war. Then a strong Soviet-Korean alliance would make sense after the Sino-Soviet split and the DPRK would be a combined force of the militaristic size of North Korea and the economic and technological prowess of South Korea.

[@LordDavid04]

Still wouldn't have made much sense. Even if it was a unified Korea, there would have been little support by China given normalization of relations with the US. Plus, if they won the Korean War, there wouldn't have been the technological prowess and economic might of the South. Remember, the original enemy was China, but they changed it to North Korea. They should have just made the movie about an alternate universe where the Soviet Union didn't collapse.

[@thekittenofwar4421]

Its not just a 1:1 comparison of an army. Sure, the Chinse may have the equipment and manpower, but they have in no way, shape, or form the logistical capabilities of moving that much manpower to the United States, let alone support them once they arrive. Same reason a hypothetical war between the US and Russia would have to be nuclear because invasion by either side is a logistical and casualty intensive nightmare.

[@mercedesbenz3021]

Kitten of War knows what they're talking about - China's military is large, but in NO WAY can they move that military to the United States; if they even tried, naval SAM's in the Pacific and US military aircraft would literally light the sky up, and the Seawolf, Virginia, and Los Angeles-class submarines would send the PLAN naval groups to the bottom of the ocean.

[@MB-fo2sk]

You guys ever heard about nuclear weapons?

[@ColonelBragg]

No one is going to be able to pull off a legit conventional invasion of the US anytime soon because no other major power shares a land border with the United States so that means having to supply and support a army across thousands of miles of ocean and also having to go up against the most powerful navy that is actually larger than all the others combined

[@pastafiend845]

It's not really logistically feasible for any nation at all to attempt to invade the US while using conventional weapons. Our military is already next to none and our terrain is too large and diverse, there's too many armed civillians and militias, the military is fucking everywhere and the Chinese are severely technologically inferior and a large force doesn't mean dick when you're technologically inferior, especially nowadays. The Chinese just completed an aircraft carrier that runs on diesel for fucks sake. In an age where all of our active carriers are nuclear powered. The Soviets couldn't do it either. Even in their military peak back in the day. It's just not a good idea. They'd have to use selective nuclear strikes on us but after that they and everyone else would be royally fucked once we started launching what we have, us included.
