Heck, I’d have thought that Chinese audiences would approve…

Hollywood remake of Red Dawn spends $1m to change villains from Chinese to North Koreans... so as not to offend Beijing
By Paul Thompson
Last updated at 4:39 AM on 21st March 2011
Hollywood film-makers have changed the villains in a re-make of the film Red Dawn to avoid offending China and spoiling its chances of success at the box office.
The original action film starring Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen featured Russian troops invading America.
In the remake Chinese troops lead the invasion - but bosses at MGM studio are to spend more than $1 million on digital special effects to make it appear the invaders are from North Korea.
Military flags and symbols from China will be erased or changed as well as dialogue before the film starring Chris Hemsworth is released later this year.
Computer experts will make sure North Korean flags are seen in the film and the characters refer to the invading army from a country President Bush said was part of the 'axis of evil.'
Studio bosses took the decision because they were afraid having China invade the U.S. would not go down well at the box office in Beijing.
China is one of the biggest emerging markets for Hollywood and bosses at MGM studios didn't want to risk offence.
They also wanted to make sure the Chinese Government approved the film as only a handful of Hollywood movies areaccepted for showing each year.
Producers were worried their movie would be blacklisted....

Well, that reflect a lot of intestinal fortitude. 
How the Hell would any significant number of NKs get here? On their fleet of amphibs, or dropped from their vast air force transports?

Smuggled in shipping containers!  Of course, that would have to be done by the Chinese, so it wouldn't help the movie moguls intended goal of NOT offending them.

This really is a good example of our attitudes these days. When the Russians were the enemy we had no problem making movies showing them as evil. Then we defeated them for real. Know we are scared about offending the new enemy. I guess making them Muslims was not even considered. God we are in trouble.

Muslims were not even considered due to the fact of what transportation they have. I wonder if camels can cross the pacific...

In this case it's kind of like showing 8mm porn of your parents to the kids in the neighborhood.
