100 things we learnt from Red Dawn


Another crap movie. 1/10. I will start :

1) North Korea has transport aircrafts with a range of nearly 10.000 km.
2) When electricity is gone, All US defense systems will be disabled. They just doesn't have emergency UPS and generator systems in key locations.
3) When North Koreans begin to nuke USA, US submarines positioned throughout the Pacific will not nuke North Korea to death and simply end the war.
4) US Navy which is the strongest naval power in the world will not act while North Koreans lands tanks, APCs and other heavy equipment.
5) North Korean invasion of USA will not see any air bombardment from both sides. Neither the Americans nor the North Koreans will bother with aerial warfare.
6) Americans doesn't have any Abrams tanks in US soil that could have been used to easily repel paratrooper invasion.
7) When US mainland is invaded, the famous partisan group of Americans will consist of something like 10 people. The others will happily live under North Korean occupation.
8) An ordinary North Korean soldier who had served 10 years in the Army is actually much worse fighter than a US teenager who trained for a few months at most.
9) North Koreans are genius to pull off such a clever invasion of USA but they don't have any idea about guerilla warfare. For example, they will never guard the rooftops in an occupied city even though guerillas usually use high positions to ambush them.
10) When North Koreans locate the safehouse of a major partisan group, they will not first encircle the area and then shell the area. They will just shell the area and guerillas will escape away easily.
11) North Korean Army, in spite of being the largest military organization on earth, doesn't have any elite forces. They will call help from Spetsnaz instead.
12) Many Americans will turn into colloborators within few months even though their country has the mightiest military on earth.
13) North Koreans doesn't take cover.

25) When you are overseas in a foreign country as the occupying force, and people take up arms against you they're the bad guys and you're the good guys

26) When you're in your own country and a foreign power is the occupying force, you the people take up arms against them 'cause they're the bad guys and you're the good guys

Lol, even though I would consider myself to be very much on the right side of the political spectrum, I did find it quite hilarious and ironic when the guy was talking about how "now we're fighting in our own back yard and that really matters vs all of those guys getting shipped over here" since he just got back from iraq.
