Hmmm, that's really interesting. But don't you guys already have your own anti-assault rifle laws?

And yes, it does seem Canada gets the latest Chinese weapons in bulk. That certainly explains the QBZ-97s that Americans have seen in our TV shows and movies that were filmed in Canada.

Yeah, I love the original as much as anyone, even if it was an absurd concept. But remaking "Red Dawn", 20 years after the Cold War ended and "Reds" ceased to exist, just seems to be pissing on the original's historical value (and yes, I do consider "Red Dawn" to be a film of enduring historical value).

Ah, so they are actually filming some of the movie in Canada? And Movie Armaments Group is supplying weapons for the show?

For the red dawn remake??

I was kind of disappointed when I saw the PLA soldier actors armed with AK-47 type rifles when in RL they have a weapon as unique looking as the QBZ 95.I was hoping to at least see a mock-up of the QBZ-95; though I'm not in the industry so what do I know.

Hopefully the action in the film is good.

-sorry for poor writing structure/grammar, I am tired

They should of made the invading country North Korea. It makes perfect sense. North Korea is a communist country runned by stupid facists who blow millions of dollars on nuclear weapons. If they made the invaders Al-Quaida or the taliban, that would just bring back the trauma 9/11 brought. The screenwriters must of thought that Chinia is still a red state and decided to make it the invaders.

Al-Qaeda being the invaders makes no sense. The only way they would invade is to bomb a few places with car bombs and maybe throw a few planes into buildings but they could never to a full scale invasion. Neither could the Taliban.

Also, North Korea you say?

Still kinda stupid idea. North Korea is even less likely since it's small as hell, less population than the United States. It's navy and air force is laughable compared to the US. Even with nukes, the worse that can happen is that North Korea is a smothering black heap from retaliatory strikes than an invading nation.

It's even less likely than China or Russia. At least with those guys, they have a vast army and reputation.

I don't see North Korea invading the U.S., at least not on it's own.

Not really, they actually have the 4th largest Army in the world and quite a sizeable airforce with modern aircraft like the MiG 29 Fulcrum. -far from laughable

Their Navy however is not a blue water navy.....so yeah

China has the largest army in the world, However Russia has the 8th largest army in the world ;while North Korea has the 4th largest army in the world.
I do not think "reputation" would factor in when the bullets start flying and the bombs start dropping.

North Korean Army is much larger than the Russian Army.

No surprise there. Milius is a talented filmmaker, and as I've said already, I enjoy "Red Dawn" as much as anyone. But an invasion of the continental U.S. is a geographic and strategic impossibility.

Thanks MT, that must have taken you a lot of energy to put down. More than what I can do. I guess US citizens today are more worried about the government suddenly becoming too corrupt and taking away basic rights like the right to bear arms, though that is most certainly an impossibility right next to being invaded
