Actually, I believe the movie's premise is a Chinese takeover of a "bankrupt" United States...basically they send in military forces under the pretense of "rebuilding" a financially devastated US. That's about all I could gather from what I've read, and none of that was official.Tamie wrote:It looks like The Breakfast Club with guns.
A remake with China is silly. How does China benefit of invading? They already get tons of money from Americans buying Chinese goods and they hold a significant portion of the US debt. Right now they keep getting golden eggs but they don't have to feed the goose.

I don't fear guns; I fear voters and politicians that fear guns.

Yepper, this sci-fi flick is a quarter century (that's 25 years) old. The star of the movie has seen his own Red Dawn and the other surviving cast members are no longer spring chickens.Tamie wrote:It looks like The Breakfast Club with guns.

I liked that show also. I hate it when they cancel a good program after one or two seasons.McKnife wrote:My favorite 'survival' program was the "Jericho" TV series..

They might consider it if we welsh on the debt. And that is a viable possibility.Tamie wrote:It looks like The Breakfast Club with guns.

How many of you remember Patrick Swayze's Steel Dawn, which was initially marketed as a loose sequel to Red Dawn?

Yup. Brought up issues most people don't think about.McKnife wrote:My favorite 'survival' program was the "Jericho" TV series..
Somebody posted about 4473 and Privacy Act. True, but armed invaders aren't really worried about laws. These are physical paper copies kept at the dealer. Even ATF cant' get them without a warrant (the can see them and make copies but the dealer has to keep the original). (Dealer bound book is probably on a computer.)
