Red Dawn is the 2012 remake of the 1984 Charlie Sheen/Patrick Swayze film of the same name. The remake involves an invasion of the continental United States by North-Korea. The film was filmed in late 2009, and was slated to hit theaters in November 2010, but due to financial troubles by MGM, the film was shelved. Originally, the invaders were depicted as originating from China, but has since been changed to North Korea; 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 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 following weapons can be seen in the film Red Dawn:
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, casuing 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 borther Matt (Josh Peck) later takes the Browning Hi-Power during the escape from the high-rise building near the end of the film.
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.
Smith & Wesson 59
Toni Walsh (Adrianne Palicki) uses a Smith & Wesson 59 during a couple of surprise attacks on the North Korean forces.
Intratec TEC-9
The Wolverine's acquire several Intratec TEC-9 pistols from the townspeople during the training montage. The TEC-9s have been converted fully automatic. Jed Eckert (Chris Hemsworth) test fires one of the TEC-9s, after Robert Kitner (Josh Hutcherson) admires them, simultaneously showing how poor the accuracy is. Jed, and Robert use the TEC-9s during an ambush against North Korean troops to acquire better weaponry. Daryl Jenkins (Connor Cruise) uses one of these guns after the forementioned ambush, before the Wolverines retreat to their hideout.
Glock 17

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-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) uses a modified AKM as her primary, after previously using the AKMSU as her sidearm after the first ambush on the North Korean soldiers. Daryl Jenkins (Connor Cruise) uses a scoped AKM during the attempted assassination on Capt. Cho during the North Korean ceremony. Daryl is also seen armed with a plain AKM mock-up for the remainder of the film. Robert Kitner (Josh Hutcherson) also uses one of the AKMs during the assault on the KPA base inside the Spokane Police headquarters. Matt Eckert (Josh Peck) also uses the AKM as his primary firearm, after giving up the AKMS he previously used to avoid capture after the assassination attempt. Danny Jackson (Edwin Hodge) also uses a modified AKM, after he dumps his AKMS to avoid capture after the assassination attempt during the ceremony.

Captain Choi (Will Yun Lee) also takes and uses an AKM, during the assault on the KPA base.
AKMS
After the Wolverines' ambush on North Korean soldiers to secure better weaponry, Matt Eckert (Josh Peck) and Daryl Jenkins (Connor Cruise), and Danny Jackson (Edwin Hodge) all use AKMS rifles with black plastic furniture and no stock as their primaries for the first half of the film. Matt gives up his AKMS to a civilian after he rescues her girlfriend Erica (Isabel Lucas) to avoid capture. Danny throws his AKMS away after the assassination attempt during the North Korean ceremony to avoid capture.

Matt and Danny are also seen with modified AKM rifles after dumping their AKMS rifles.

Matt (Josh Peck) gives the M249 to Toni (Adrianne Palicki), before the attack on the KPA base. Robert uses the SAW again, during the surprise attack on the Wolverine's hideout.
