What IF Russia Wins The War and Start Invading US & The World

When Soviet and Cuban paratroopers invade Colorado, a group of teenagers flee to the mountains. Left with nowhere to run, they engage in guerilla warfare with the invading forces.

[EHH]

Guinness Book of Records considered it the "most violent film" at the time with a rate of 134 acts of violence per hour, or 2.23 per minute. Yet it was also the first film given a rating of PG-13. I guess the point was how much violence was depicted rather than how graphic it actually was.

The original is way better than any remake. I'm an 80s kid and there was alot of fear concerning the cold war. I think this movie is fire!

[Dakarn]

The reason Bela let them go was because he started to sympathize with the Wolverines. He says somewhere in the movie that he had always been the insurgent, never the Occupier. He knew what it was like, fighting in your homeland against an invading force. He knew he would have been doing the same things. So when he saw the brothers unarmed and gravely wounded, rather than kill them, he took pity/mercy on them instead.

I love how out of all the American cities, Russians decide to nuke Omaha and Kansas City. Genius!

"Came up through Mexico, illegally" LMAO. Best line from you ever.

Red dawn(1984): makes highly detailed mock up Russian weapons (suchlike fake Mi-24A, T-72 MBT, ZSU-23, and Yak-38... The vehicle is so detailed that it fooled me thinking they brought the vehicle off from the black market, it's so cool 🤯)

Red Dawn (2012): fuck it give this bastards an American tanks

[VandashStumpedKnee]

11:27 it makes sense to me because during the acts and extreme hardships of war people remember their own back at home I mean literally many soldiers of war have shared their own stories of doing exactly that. Allowing an enemy to get away due to them feeling utter pure empathy to/towards what they see and or used to be a comrade or nation of no issue. Or it can even go down to the basic level of my brother in arms. But that is how I see it so take it how you will.

One minute in and I'm already confused, why is Russia targeting a small town when it could've been New York or Washington DC? And the teacher who walked out expecting to talk to armed hostile soldiers just won the Darwin award...

[dpurdyciv]

Col. Bella sympathized with the Wolverines because he was once a guerrilla fighter. He now realizes he has become what he once fought.

[grubyjoe]

There is a story back then about red dawn directors, during shooting a scene they were pulled over by CIA agents in the car, they were asking them where they got soviet vehicles, this only explain how dedicated and accurate this guys were back in, not like cringe new production.

i love this channel this makes my day im not bored anymore when i see his videos!

[BaljinderSingh-xyik]

Its logistically really hard to fully invade US unless u have military bases in canada and south america.

[justsumi]

[mccharmestheest]

The reason Col. Bela let the two brothers go as a sign of mercy and respect (Respect is big in Latin countries) was because he himself was a guerilla fighter during the Cuban revolution, one of the things that Fidel, and his brother, Raul Castro and Che Guevera said they were fighting against was imperialism, which is what the Soviet and Cuban joint operation was. It was not a revolution. It was imperialism. He became what he had fought really hard against, and Col. Bela felt regret, anger and rage, shame, and sadness at what he was doing and was tired by the time he and his executive officer saw the dead men from Nicaragua, El Salvador, Angola, Cambodia and Mexico. Col. Bela even wrote it in his letter to his esposa that there was no more revolution and that he wanted to be back on the island, resting in the sun in peace with her and you could tell he was completely tired by the letter. He saw two men that did their time in Hell. Jed and Matt went into war as boys, they died as men.

[Crackshotsteph]

Colonel Bella fought as a Partisan in Cuba and in a scene while writing to his Wife he felt disillusioned about the War and was going to resign his commission before Jed and his brother attacked the Headquarters near the end.

“Enemy soldiers are killing innocent civilians for apparently no reason” as he’s showing a clip of a Russian soldier picking up a handgun off a civilian… this guy

[georgesmiley]

The entire Soviet army couldn’t defeat the civilians in Texas. My small neighbourhood has about 40 marines, 4 retired rangers, and 2 navy seals.

I’m happy that someone finally recapped this movie. Thanks mystery recapped :D
