Or they could have remade it with an invasion by the Armed Forces of Mexico.

The remake of The Thomas Crown Affair came close. Didn't quite catch up to the original, but pretty darn tasty on it's own.
The remake of The Getaway, on the other hand, was just about what one would expect for an Alec Baldwin (spit) movie. Wretched.

Not so dumb...actually very possible.
Since North Korea is nothing but an appendage of the Chinese Red army,
and since China own pretty much most of Mexico, infrastructure...harbors...
transportation...and that their messy Can puppets are already all
over the USA, that take over is a good possibility,
if not for the fact that their ally the Saudi regime
already own the White House...making the invasion un necessary! -

I thought the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair suffered by comparison; I mean, how can you replace Steve McQueen? Eye of the beholder.

In my remake, the Norks would surface some submarines in San Francisco Bay and shell the shit out of San Fran with deck guns and missiles, esp. Pelosi's house.
There would be no response from the US military, because San Fran is a nuke free, military free and essentially gun free zone by city ordinance. We are a nation of laws, after all. The subs would continue until all ordinance is expended without opposition. Pelosi would vanish in a hail of gunfire while yelling "We passed the bill so we could find out what was in it. Read the bill - this wasn't in it."

It's a bit ridiculous having the NK's invade the USA... but the ORIGINAL cut of this film had the Chinese as the bad guys. The studio, up to its necks in Chinese funding when they went bankrupt, spent tens of millions of dollars going back through EVERY SINGLE FRAME to swap Chinese insignia and uniforms with North Korean swag. Whole scenes were reshot and the process has taken nearly two years since the originally scheduled release date.

That Texas sun must be cooking the comet's brain. I liked Bill Murray's remake of The Razor's Edge.

Exiled to Kansas now, Casca, which prolly 'esplains the cooked brains. Effing hot you betcha. Not that it's much better back home.
Rodger, you're spot on about The Thomas Crown Affair suffering by comparison. Was trying to say something close to that. Steve McQueen was the epitome of cool for all the reasons most of today's kewl kids in Hollywood are not.

What is not to like about the original Red Dawn? It was directed and co-written by John Milius; that is a great start for any movie. He collected a solid group of veteran character actors including Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton, Frank McRae, Powers Booth and William Smith to add depth to the cast. Finally, among the younger actors he cast, about half went on to have pretty decent Hollywood careers.

Two things: One, I watched the remake of Total Recall this weekend, and IMHO it was better, yes better than the original.
Two, in the original Red Dawn, the bad guys in that little town were Cubans, not Russians. The Soviet Union was behind the invasion, but they were using all of their satellite nations as cannon fodder.
So this remake? While I doubt they'll use the same idea, China could be seen as the main force, and North Korea as the cannon fodder. -

The 1941 Bogart remake of 'The Maltese Falcon' was so superior to the original 1931 original with Ricardo Cortez that most people don't even know it was a remake.
