Heck, I'm probably older then you. Anyway, this is a new Red Dawn with awesome special effects & if they hadn't of gutted it - probably better then the original.

ahhhh, hollywood,  nothing like a remake.  at least they picked a movie that could use an update.  i really hate it when they take a classic and ruin it.
make the world idiot proof.....and you will have a world full of idiots. -g2

You aren't the only one that remembers the chair being against the wall.  But this isn't that old a piece of news.  They remade Red Dawn with ChiComs a couple years ago, and the new one is due to be released sometime this year. Or so IMDB says.

I hear in some ways it won't. Unless they were going to CGI in the proper choppers/aircraft.

IIRC, John Millius and Co. got some really pointed questions from the U.S. State Dept. over the Hind gunships that showed up in the original Red Dawn. They were done so well, it took awhile to convince them they were really much smaller Huey's or Jet Rangers... or whatever domestics with some cosmetic skins on them.
I promise not to duck.

They used SA-330 Pumas (not a small helo) to mimic the Hinds in both Red Dawn and the Rambo movies (they did a better job in Red Dawn, giving the Pumas an A model type hind nose), not the smaller Hueys or Jetrangers. They also mimiced a very well done T-72 tank, which also caused questions...
