I love how when Brandon’s talking about how the humvees look too American, and at 4:12, you actually see the rear humvee has an American flag on the rear bumper.
Obviously captured ground assets because flying them over would be impractical. Authentic hardware would have been cooler, but this makes complete sense so can't fault them for it.
@@jesusdetimofeev9678 troops aren't even armed on base, and the people guarding the armory aren't armed either. An organized armed force coming outta nowhere would be able to capture a NatGuard post with very little resistance.
@@MomDoer-qc7iw so the troops on a armory base and the troops guarding the base aren't armed so I guess if there wuz a riot or somethin ur saying those ppl could easily penetrate the base cuz they have no weapons to protect themselves? And also if they're being attacked by a foreign enemy wouldn't the smart thing to do is use the shit in the armory.....?
dude I so wish they would. I've been saying this since high school I want in my lifetime a foreign enemy that is definitely in the wrong and doesn't just have something we want so I can feel morally justified committing horrible atrocities on their mother's sons
Dude, as ashamed as I am of this fact, I am _from_ Spokane. I am _posting this_ from Spokane. The only thing even _remotely_ Spokane was _possibly_ the neighborhood in the opening, and that, _maybe_ if they dropped their entire force between Canon Park and Lower Manito, which is just... quite possibly one of the _worst_ LZs on the _entire_ South Hill (I am counting Manito Rock because broken glass beats _actual_ punji stake all day everyday).
Apparently they literally did. The movie was done and China found out they were the bad guys and told the studio that they could forget about access to the China for any of their movies going forward. So they spent millions of dollars to CGI North Korean flags over the Chinese ones.
So, here's something I've never thought about before now: That subway had (American) customers and the "sandwich artist" was wearing a subway uniform. What kind of North Korean invasion would just let private businesses operate like nothing changed? I'd understand if the customers were all soldiers, or party members, or those collaborator guys, because they do get special treatment in real North Korea, but this "North Korean occupation" just looks like America with some propaganda posters put up. The first Red Dawn was pretty convincing with its total soviet takeover; the remake, on the other hand, had Subway product placement in the middle of a Communist occupation. At least when Gorbachev did that Pizza Hut commercial it was in the middle of sweeping reforms and improving relations with the west.
What else can they do than let them run? No way an invading force would bring with them enough resources to effectively replace the economy of an occupied country. They would probably just yeet some of the executives to scare the rest into submission and then replace the yeeted ones with their representatives to keep them in check.
@@spencerblankenship2655 I think just taking the materials and distributing them as relief rations would be more efficient than running a restaurant with dine-in service. I'm not familiar with Subway's supply chain, but the restaurant I work at gets all of its food in cases full of smaller packages, so all they'd really have to do is have their PR department (the ones who print all of those posters) print out some DPRK stickers to put on the food and boom, you've got a case of cheese/meat/bread allowances courtesy of the glorious leader.
Remember the original when Jed ran into a friend & as she whispered the bad news that the invaders were looking for them,there was a guy on a balcony walking around monitoring what she was doing?
Was in a gaming guild founded and had lot of active and retired Military, when they heard the main villain in the movie was North Korea, they said they pissed themselves laughing.
Can we all appreciate that absolutely sterling Archer impression? The sterling thing is a pun, or double entendre or play on words or whatever I have to specify that because otherwise it definitely would not come across

Fun fact, the reason you don't see Gatling guns that much in the American civil war is because it cost the U.S dozens of thousands of dollars for every few seconds the dang thing fired off it's 200 rounds of freedom per minute.

i loved the rant on the M134, my brother served in the army going so far as to become a Green Beret and served quite a few tours in the Middle East, Korea, and the Philippines. When referring to A10 Warthogs providing his unit fire support he just kinda stared and said "It sounds like God ripping a cloth" never have asked him about M134s but I assume its quite similar

I hate how China's oppression extends outside their sovereign territory. The amount of self-censorship the media does to please China is baffling and infuriating.
They censored hoping to show it in China but ultimately it was still denied. I can't see why. You know a group of armed citizens retaking their land from Authoritarians. Shows how liberal and dumb Hollywood is that they couldn't have foreseen that.
The difference is that nowadays 1/7 of the world is in China and that’s a lot of consumers they wanted to reach whereas the Russians couldn’t watch it it’s not the studios fault it’s just business
@@Dontouchmyfrys If I owned a film studio I would rather make good movies to be shown everywhere out of Chine instead of licking Chinese boots. There is enough market for movies outside of China. Film studios could easly survive without the Chinese market. In the 1980s they did not make movies thinking about what the Chinese might like/dislike. So only very greedy and leftist studios make films to please the Chinese.
Love the North Korean soldiers wearing Chinese camo. Especially when the few images I have seen of NK troops shows them in OD green uniforms. I think they use soviet style one-piece camo suits as well.
Miniguns have one of the most awe-inspiring sounds on a battlefield. WHY do movie makers always want to slow the ROF down and make it sound like any other belt fed....
For the same reason they need to replace handgun and revolver reports with AK sounds. No one fucking knows, better to not even ask. That way lies madness.
Wolfe Hoffmann I know it’s not really relevant but watch any movie with motorbikes as well. They go out of their way to change the sound which I don’t get as they will have like a 2 stroke mx bike sound like an old 4 stroke at bike or vice versa and then have a 4 cylinder sports bike sound like shit. They deliberately change them every time and even in the same movie they change the sounds of everything to sound like the opposite. It’s like the sound editors have never been in the real world with anything. Cars, bike or guns.
@@wolfehoffmann2697 bit of a necro post, but there was a sound designer on the warthunder reddit claiming that "all guns that fire a bullet about .30-.50 caliber sound the same if the fire rate is similar" No dude. They don't. The same gun doesn't even sound the same if you're 5 yards behind it versus in front of it.
@@blackwoodsecurity531 Tell him to listen to a .30 cal FAL at 500 RPM, and a Browning M2 at 500 RPM, let us know if they sound the same. Tell him not to use ear pro too.
Lol. Like a movie is about the used hardware to make it. No, my dear Merikan dilettante, it works a very different way. Bringing of requisite is the simplest part when you have money.
@@worldoftancraft they had less money the first time. They just put their heart and soul into recreating and capturing the scenario that was playing out.
@@pillowsocket it's still cheap propaganda about stoopid red orkz who attack zee saint Valinor. Also, how do you name this phenomenon, "accent"? They don't speak the language, they are only making look like they speaking, because of unsuitable pathos-epic intonations and stresses and should I say that pronunciation is just atrocious and inaudible? Ohhh yeah, how did I forget: laugh about somebody's accent on the Internet is a bit simpler than learning the language. And Hollywood of nowadays is only and only about bringing quality hardware and requisite.
Well, it was still a couple decades before leftists really took over Hollywood. So they still made good movies for actual entertainment, not Marxist propaganda.
This movie could have been more believable if they kept the enemy as the Chinese and not North Koreans. But hey, MGM wanted to make money out of China.
Main reason of the Hollywood`s downfall is the fact that in the last 20 years majority of Hollywood filmmakers have chosen money over artistic idealism and Leftist agenda over facts and common sense.
@@HappyBeezerStudios Imagine just stick that six bladed s.o.b. into some """""ballistic gelatine"""" and turn the rotating thingy on but no pew pews just slashy slash.
2:14 Oh god, this is the movie where that stunt is from? That guy, the one parachuting and hitting the car, no joke, missed the pad in the stunt, and straight hit concrete instead of the crash pad. It was GNARLY! They kept it in because the stunt in general was so much better. He's a great stunt actor, legit.
Executives making this movie "We need to expand the market for Red Dawn where can we do that" Some other executive "CHINA" The guy that made the movie "The Villans are Chinese" Executive "Make them North Korea"
You hit the nail on the head, Part 2 would have been decent, if the original didn’t exist. It shows just how high the bar was set!! I’ve been fantasizing about Red Dawn II since 1985 and hopefully someone does it right in my lifetime
@@mechadonia Black Rifle Coffee paid to have one done. And it works. But they also basically had to rebuild the entire inside of the Prius to mount it (basically build a massive rollcage-type setup) and hold several hundred rounds of ammo.
This movie was filmed in Mt. Clemens Michigan where I live. I was able to see all the Korean outfits that they had set up at a local hospital. The restaurant/bar they have in the movie is now a place called New Age Noodles.
2 other goofs to mention: 1. When Robert is firing the SAW from the rooftop, you can see his belt runs out though he continues hosing the Chicoms- I mean NorKs. When the gang is in the building watching the propaganda speeches (just before the time bomb fails) Daryl is looking through a scope that still has the rear cover closed.
Love seeing Brandon's ADD and OCD shine in this one. Obsess over the smallest thing for a while, then bam, moving on because "I don't care". As a father of 3 boys who are just like this its hilarious! Love you Brandon, don't ever change!!
my favorite explanation of the sound of a mini gun was from a book that described it as " and then the sound god was tearing reality in half like a phone book was heard, and we knew the mini gun was up and running."
What I thinked happened is that the Koreans managed to capture and use large quantities of US weapons and equipment, since the invasion was such a surprise
@@kagenlim5271 I think this was explained in a deleted scene, don't quote me on it. But if that were the inverse lore, HOW WOULD IT BE A SURPRISE IF THE U.S. LOST A LARGE PORTION OF THEIR EQUIPMENT/VEHICLES? I mean, I can imagine the army flipping their shit if they lost one tank.
My question: how would North Korea with a military budget lower than the budget of the NYPD be able to pull off an invasion of the mainland united states?
In the movie? in the remake they pretty much were backed up by the russians (somehow) but in the actual game that has the same theme (Homefront) The world fucked up when North Korea and South Korea merged in a single country under thre pretense of putting aside their differences (spoiler alert: fucking leader of North Korea used that as excuse to asimiliate South Korea) and then it was a matter to invade or other countries in the planet just plain surredering to them.
Well..you know all those base shootings the Americans have been suffering lately.. that but times a million. Not sure if it would be a successful invasion but the initial landing of troops isn't all that hard if history is any judge. How North Korea would maintain momentum is the bigger question.
They cant with help from China or Russia. They have no navy and landing craft too speck of and no long range transport aircraft. So with out Chinese and Russian ships and aircraft it would be impossible
What really pissed me off is that this movie is "based" in Spokane. I was born and raised in Spokane and not only does this not look anything like Spokane but no real person from Spokane would cheer for the wolverines, unless they like freed the Gonzaga mens basketball team or started the bloomsday run back up. Also military vehicles like tanks driving around in the streets of Spokane would be destroyed by the shitty road construction before a group of rebels took them out.
The 1984 red dawn is like a roast that has been cooking all day in a crock pot. Its juicy, falls apart, and melts in your mouth. The 2012 version is like taco Bell

No thanks. Trying to forget that movie ever excised. It's an extremely bad rip-off of the Wolverines. It would have only gotten worse if they had actually made any of the follow up movies that were planned based on the novels. It would have seen Australia over run, its armed forces defeated and the only hope they have is New Zealand. Yes they get saved and partly liberated by New Zealands armed forces.
The original "Tomorrow, When the War Began" 2010 movie, not the 2015 tv series remake where they made it a non-descriptive Asian-ish country and other suckery.... The Show producers screwed the pooch so bad with the remake, that we never got the rest of films(or TV mini-series) based on the rest of the books of the series. Which are Young Adult series but build off what was great about the "Tomorrow, When the War Began" character Ellie Linton, For information on the rest of the books in the series en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow_series by John Marsden Titles.... The Dead of the Night (1994) The Third Day, the Frost (1995) (published in the U.S. and Canada as A Killing Frost) Darkness, Be My Friend (1996) Burning for Revenge (1997) The Night is for Hunting (1998) The Other Side of Dawn (1999)

12:06 "The M134D minigun fires at a rough cyclic rate of 4000 feet per second" It seems Brandon is turning into a mainstream media news anchor
He lost that many brain cells just digging this up.
Cut him some slack
According to Wikipedia, at least, it sports a cyclic rate between 2k and 6k, so.
did he also use the shoulder thing that goes up?
@@damn_skippy He's talking about the "cyclic rate of 4000 feet per second" mistake. Damn you people...
Sorry I missed an obvious blooper that only appeared in the last five seconds of the video, I guess?
It is weird that the original red dawn didn't have as much access to Eastern bloc weapons but still did a much better job.
almost like they gave a shit.
Lol. Like a movie is about the used hardware to make it. No, my dear Merikan dilettante, it works a very different way. Bringing of requisite is the simplest part when you have money.
@@worldoftancraft they had less money the first time. They just put their heart and soul into recreating and capturing the scenario that was playing out.
@@pillowsocket it's still cheap propaganda about stoopid red orkz who attack zee saint Valinor. Also, how do you name this phenomenon, "accent"? They don't speak the language, they are only making look like they speaking, because of unsuitable pathos-epic intonations and stresses and should I say that pronunciation is just atrocious and inaudible? Ohhh yeah, how did I forget: laugh about somebody's accent on the Internet is a bit simpler than learning the language.
And Hollywood of nowadays is only and only about bringing quality hardware and requisite.
Well, it was still a couple decades before leftists really took over Hollywood. So they still made good movies for actual entertainment, not Marxist propaganda.
This movie could have been more believable if they kept the enemy as the Chinese and not North Koreans. But hey, MGM wanted to make money out of China.
Main reason of the Hollywood`s downfall is the fact that in the last 20 years majority of Hollywood filmmakers have chosen money over artistic idealism and Leftist agenda over facts and common sense.
Battlefield 2 and 4 still makes lots of money in China. And it’s funny some of the media says they’re banned and some ppl actually believe it
Supposedly Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is and/or was banned in that region and South Korea for its portrayal of North Korea.

If they mounted the minigun on Toyota, they would get a free squad of sand people with bizzar looking Henry rifles and SMLE bootlegs.
Didn’t someone mount a 20mm Vulcan onto a Prius?
@@mechadonia Black Rifle Coffee paid to have one done. And it works. But they also basically had to rebuild the entire inside of the Prius to mount it (basically build a massive rollcage-type setup) and hold several hundred rounds of ammo.

I could not remember what that movie was called, unfortunately though, all the fighting is like the last 10 minutes
Good book series, absolutely awful movie.
2 other goofs to mention:
1. When Robert is firing the SAW from the rooftop, you can see his belt runs out though he continues hosing the Chicoms- I mean NorKs.
When the gang is in the building watching the propaganda speeches (just before the time bomb fails) Daryl is looking through a scope that still has the rear cover closed.
I also wondered why he didn’t just shoot the guy when he saw the bomb was disarmed.
What about the M1 Abrams when they rob the subway
Love seeing Brandon's ADD and OCD shine in this one. Obsess over the smallest thing for a while, then bam, moving on because "I don't care". As a father of 3 boys who are just like this its hilarious!
Love you Brandon, don't ever change!!
my favorite explanation of the sound of a mini gun was from a book that described it as " and then the sound god was tearing reality in half like a phone book was heard, and we knew the mini gun was up and running."
That's metal as fuck
"Cause I don't care "
Yes you do Brandon
You're hurt, and we can tell

You quoted Archer. I subscribed.

It should be there version of the T 62 / T 55
Dude, this got me too, i am steamed rn
I just knew it was an American tank. I was like wa?
What I thinked happened is that the Koreans managed to capture and use large quantities of US weapons and equipment, since the invasion was such a surprise
@@kagenlim5271 I think this was explained in a deleted scene, don't quote me on it. But if that were the inverse lore, HOW WOULD IT BE A SURPRISE IF THE U.S. LOST A LARGE PORTION OF THEIR EQUIPMENT/VEHICLES?

My question: how would North Korea with a military budget lower than the budget of the NYPD be able to pull off an invasion of the mainland united states?
In the movie? in the remake they pretty much were backed up by the russians (somehow) but in the actual game that has the same theme (Homefront) The world fucked up when North Korea and South Korea merged in a single country under thre pretense of putting aside their differences (spoiler alert: fucking leader of North Korea used that as excuse to asimiliate South Korea) and then it was a matter to invade or other countries in the planet just plain surredering to them.
They have nukes man.
Well..you know all those base shootings the Americans have been suffering lately.. that but times a million.
Not sure if it would be a successful invasion but the initial landing of troops isn't all that hard if history is any judge. How North Korea would maintain momentum is the bigger question.
They cant with help from China or Russia. They have no navy and landing craft too speck of and no long range transport aircraft. So with out Chinese and Russian ships and aircraft it would be impossible
@@jackhammertwo1 Also in Homefront, they were among the last oil producing nations and the lack of gas had severely weakened the U.S.
I vaguely remember watching it. I thought it was bad. "Which in theory sounds like an upgrade, but I hate you." Best line ever.

Brandon: you can't put a mini gun on top of a mustang!!!
Black rifle coffee company: hold my beer!!!
I knew someone would beat me to it lol.
But seriously. BRC beefed the hell out of that Prius, and it fired from a fixed mount.
Tis was a Vulcan, so 20MM and 6000RPM
On a heavily reinforced fixed mount...
When the mini gun rips off the top of the mustang, that’s when you Jesse Ventura that MFer old painless style 🤘🏻
Until that first .4 second burst breaks your hands from the recoil.
Naru 'Sanav you’ll be out of bullets after that anyway 😂
I think they actually do have a manpad one that steps down the rate of fire.
Love seeing how your office has gone from a calendar and two guns to a wall full of guns and a rpg
What really pissed me off is that this movie is "based" in Spokane. I was born and raised in Spokane and not only does this not look anything like Spokane but no real person from Spokane would cheer for the wolverines, unless they like freed the Gonzaga mens basketball team or started the bloomsday run back up. Also military vehicles like tanks driving around in the streets of Spokane would be destroyed by the shitty road construction before a group of rebels took them out.
Not a Zips anywhere on top of everything looking too nice.
@@walternelson2687 there's a zips by my grandpa's house in Spokane. Just went on father's day
Yaaay I'm not the only spokanite who's seen that turd of a movie!
The 1984 red dawn is like a roast that has been cooking all day in a crock pot. Its juicy, falls apart, and melts in your mouth. The 2012 version is like taco Bell

The coolest part of the movie was putting GPS on a prisoner then releasing him to find the rest of the REBELS!!!
No, it wasnt, because it was a terrible, weak, soft play on the original of his succumbing to torture and betraying his friends.
I know. It’s not like some 70s sci-fi movie didn’t a simmer idea. Except with a spaceship. 😆
Also, the minigun requires a lot of electricity. Where would they get that in a mustang?
Maybe that explains the rate of fire!
Over one Kilowatt. So. Yeah.
Oh, and that's over one Kilowatt Direct Current Only.
@@SoulSoundMuisc i have a kilowatt amplifier for my subwoofer, in a v6 impala plus the 200 watts my radio itself draws....the minigun needs 1392w which most vehicles could support, specifically 24v with 58 amps two car batteries run in series could power it they run them on vehicles all day long, what do you think is special about a hummers electric system then any other vehicle?

yeah they are you get a few close ups in the film and can see a US flag with a red star painted over it.

Now do a review of "Tomorrow, When the War Began" aka Australian Red Dawn
Yes! I actually really like that movie.
Definitely. I second a review of Tomorrow when the war began.
No thanks. Trying to forget that movie ever excised. It's an extremely bad rip-off of the Wolverines.
It would have only gotten worse if they had actually made any of the follow up movies that were planned based on the novels. It would have seen Australia over run, its armed forces defeated and the only hope they have is New Zealand. Yes they get saved and partly liberated by New Zealands armed forces.
The original "Tomorrow, When the War Began" 2010 movie, not the 2015 tv series remake where they made it a non-descriptive Asian-ish country and other suckery.... The Show producers screwed the pooch so bad with the remake, that we never got the rest of films(or TV mini-series) based on the rest of the books of the series. Which are Young Adult series but build off what was great about the "Tomorrow, When the War Began" character Ellie Linton,
