I can only hope it's better than the first one.

Somebody actually doing some convincing acting would be a nice addition, Ebert.

They'd be quite a challenge for an old squad leader(former Green Beret) wouldn't you think?.......

You could handle 'em Teddy and make 'em like it.

And probably wrap the whole invasion thing up in a couple of weeks.

Can't be that many City High Schools. They all must have a good "CRY" for sports.

Saw the original when I was on active duty. Agree with some of the others that we must be politically correct in this era because the Chinese hold too much of our debt.

Had a bad dream onetime that the Chinese invaded Alaska and seized the pipleline...

Correct me if I'm wrong...but in the original if they (Wolverines) could have held out until the spring there was talk about some green berets being dropped in to help.

My favorite quote from that movie...

"All that hate's gonna burn you up kid."

"It keeps me warm."

We (1-505 82nd ABN) did a jump just north of Boise, ID a few years prior to "Red Dawn". (I always thought it was after the movie!) Our OBJ was the ID National Guard base.

We took all the necessary measures and contacted the local media, newspapers, radio etc to let them know it WAS NOT an invasion and please do not shoot at us while we're under canopy.......

If it's set in Detroit, they can still cry, "Wolverines" given the proximity to the University of Michigan...
