episode Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I prefer the original where the CHINESE save America. Why do they now remove that part of the movie when it plays on tv? Hmmm Are the Mexicans going to help NK this time like they did the Russians. I prefer the original where the CHINESE save America. Why do they now remove that part of the movie when it plays on tv?

Having the Communist Chinese save us would spoil that. I KNOW you're wrong about the Mexicans. It was the Cubans and Nicaraguans in the original.

At the end...There is a little paragraph stating that the chinese came helped the usa regroup and defeat the russians. Back when this movie was made it was the cold war and china was not bad to us.

Uh, the original was 1984. That was long after Vietnam, which we fought to keep it away from the communists. Because China and Russia where already communist at that time. Find me a mention of this supposed paragraph. You won't. You just imagined it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this movie still is about cold war era, where Russia was the big baddie not China. The Cold War, often dated from 1945?1991 one source: http://www.nebraskastudies.org/1000/frameset_reset.html?http://www.nebraskastudies.org/1000/stories/1001_0140.html You are right about the china thing. I was wrong. They only talk about it for a second in the movie about the chinese being on America's side. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087985/quotes?qt=qt0319079 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episode Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I didn't say anything about the Cold War. The reason we went into Vietnam (originally) was to keep away the 'Red Tide' from overrunning Asia, since China and Russia were communist. Communists were the enemy, even if we weren't at war with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
