Red Dawn is the 2012 remake of the 1984 Charlie Sheen/Patrick Swayze film of the same name. Instead of Soviet forces, the remake involves an invasion of the western United States by an East Asian enemy force. The film was filmed in late 2009, and was slated to hit theaters in November 2010, but due to financial troubles at MGM, the film was shelved. Shortly before its release, the invaders, which were depicted as originating from China, were subsequently altered to being from North Korea, mainly due to concern that a negative depiction of the PLA may result in the Chinese government banning any future MGM films, such as the then-upcoming Skyfall. The film was eventually released in November of 2012. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck, Josh Hutcherson, Adrianne Palicki, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The movie may be a possible twin film to Tomorrow, When the War Began, since both feature a group of amateurish teenagers banding together to repel an invading army from their country.

The following weapons were used in the film Red Dawn (2012):

Handguns

Browning Hi-Power

After the Eckert brothers and their friends escape the North Korean invasion to their father's cabin, Pete (Steve Lenz) finds a Browning Hi-Power from the old RV. He eagerly uses it, nearly blowing Jed Eckert's (Chris Hemsworth) head off, causing Jed to seize the Browning from him. Jed then uses the Browning during the training montage. Julie Goodyear (Alyssa Diaz) also briefly uses the Browning during a sabotage attack. Jed's brother Matt (Josh Peck) later takes the Browning Hi-Power during the escape from the high-rise building near the end of the film.

-''Red Dawn'' is an upcoming remake of the 1984 [[Red Dawn|Charlie Sheen/Patrick Swayze film of the same name]]. The remake stars [[Chris Hemsworth]] (as Jed Eckert) and [[Jeffrey Dean Morgan]] (as Lt Col. Andrew Tanner) and involves an invasion of the continental United States by a powerful, Communist-backed enemy force. Originally, the invaders were depicted as Chinese, but has since been changed to North Koreans; this is mainly due to concern that a negative depiction of the PLA may result in the Chinese government banning any future MGM films, such as the upcoming 23rd ''James Bond'' film (Similar concerns and changes also happened during the development of the videogame ''[[Homefront]]'', which itself is also a story about a powerful Communist force invading the United States). For a time the film was shelved due to MGM's financial troubles in 2010, but in more recent news, it has been confirmed that the remake will be released sometime in 2012 once the re-writes and re-shoots are done.

+==Makarov PM==
+All of the North Korean officers carry [[Makarov PM]] pistols as their sidearms throughout the film, most notably Captain Cho ([[Will Yun Lee]]). Russian soldiers also carry Makarovs in leg holsters. Danny Jackson ([[Edwin Hodge]]) throws one away after the assassination attempt on Captain Cho ([[Will Yun Lee]]), to avoid capture. Jackson most likely seized the Makarov from a fallen Noth Korean soldier.

+==Intratec TEC-9==
+The Wolverines acquire several [[Intratec TEC-9]] pistols converted to fire fully automatic from the townspeople during the training montage.  Jed Eckert ([[Chris Hemsworth]]) test fires one of the TEC-9s, after Robert Kitner ([[Josh Hutcherson]]) admires them, showing how poor the accuracy is. Jed, Robert, and Daryl Jenkins ([[Connor Cruise]]) use the [[Intratec TEC-9|TEC-9s]] during and after an ambush.

+=Rifles=
+==Remington 700==
+Matt Eckert ([[Josh Peck]]) finds a [[Remington 700]] bolt-action rifle at their father's cabin. He gives it to his brother Jed Eckert ([[Chris Hemsworth]]), who carries it until the group acquires better weaponry. Toni Walsh ([[Adrianne Palicki]]) and Daryl Jenkins ([[Connor Cruise]]) also use the rifle during the training montage. Robert Kitner ([[Josh Hutcherson]]) later uses the rifle during a hunting trip with Jed and Matt.

+==Winchester Model 1894==
+Matt Eckert ([[Josh Peck]]) finds a [[Winchester Model 1894]] rifle at their father's cabin and uses the rifle as his primary firearm until the Wolverines acquire better weaponry. Jed Eckert ([[Chris Hemsworth]]) also briefly handles this rifle at the cabin as well. Daryl Jenkins ([[Connor Cruise]]) briefly uses this weapon during the training montage.

+[[Image:RedDawn-Winchester-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Matt fires his Winchester during the training montage.]]
 ==AKM (Modified to resemble AK-103)==
+Most North Korean soldiers carry [[AKM]] rifles, visually modified with the addition of plastic furniture and [[AK-74]]-style muzzle brakes to resemble the [[AK-47#AK-103|AK-103s]], as their primary firearms in the film. Russian soldiers are also equipped with similar AKMs, but with additional full-length railed handguards. Toni Walsh ([[Adrianne Palicki]]) carries a modified [[AKM]] after previously using an [[AKMSU]] after the first ambush. Daryl Jenkins ([[Connor Cruise]]) uses a scoped [[AKM]] during an attempted assassination during a North Korean ceremony. After the Wolverines' ambush on North Korean soldiers to secure better weaponry, Matt Eckert ([[Josh Peck]]), Daryl Jenkins, and Danny Jackson ([[Edwin Hodge]]) all use stockless AKMs with black plastic furniture for the first half of the film. Matt gives up his AKM to a civilian in order to avoid capture, and Danny ditches his AKM after the same battle for similar reasons. Daryl, Robert Kitner ([[Josh Hutcherson]]), Matt Eckert, and Danny Jackson then carry plain [[AKM]] mock-ups for most of the film. Corporal Smith ([[Kenneth Choi]]) also briefly uses AKM to distract some North Korean soldiers. Captain Cho ([[Will Yun Lee]]) fires an AKM during the assault on the KPA base.

+==AKMSU==
+Some of the North Korean soldiers use [[AKMSU]] carbines modified with KCI quad rail systems. Jed Eckert ([[Chris Hemsworth]]) uses an [[AKMSU]] carbine as his weapon of choice after capturing in an ambush. Toni Walsh ([[Adrianne Palicki]]) also uses an [[AKMSU]] after the first ambush, but later switches to one of the AKM/AK-103 mock-ups. Greg ([[Julian Alcaraz]]) and Julie Goodyear ([[Alyssa Diaz]]) use [[AKMSU]] carbines as well.

+==Norinco Type 56==
+Some North Korean soldiers carry [[Norinco Type 56]] assault rifles, distinguishable by their hooded sights, with black plastic furniture. Robert Kitner ([[Josh Hutcherson]]) also uses one, but with the stock removed, for the first half of the film before replacing it with an [[M249 SAW]] machine gun.

-The standard assault rifle of the Korean Peoples Army (KPA) in the film appears to be the [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]], visually modified with the addition of plastic furniture and [[AK-74]]-style muzzle brakes to resemble the [[AK-47#AK-103|AK-103]]. Russian soldiers are also equipped with similar AKMs, but with additional full-length railed handguards.
+==Colt M4A1 carbine==
+USMC Sergeant Major Andrew Tanner ([[Jeffrey Dean Morgan]]) and his subordinates Sergeant Hodges ([[Matt Gerald]]) and Corporal Smith ([[Kenneth Choi]]) all carry [[M4A1|M4A1 carbines]] as their primary firearms. SgtMaj. Tanner and Cpl. Smith have ACOG scopes with attached Docter red dot sights, tactical flashlights, and foregrips on their M4A1 carbines. Sgt. Hodges has an EOTech sight, and a SureFire M900 weaponlight/foregrip combo on his carbine. They all mount suppresors on their [[M4A1|M4A1s]] during the assault on the KPA base .
