Continuity mistake: When the Wolverines are attempting to get "the box", the Matt Eckert character is shooting through a window. When we see his point of view, there are blinds in the way of the camera, however every time it shows the actor, the blinds are open.

manthabeat

Continuity mistake: As the policeman, Tom Eckert, is on the megaphone and telling his boys that he loves them and to do what he would do, "to stop this piece of shit," when the camera is at his back, you can see the left shoulder area of the shirt pull in, like he is raising his left arm to point at Captain Cho. When we immediately switch views to the front, we see Tom starting to raise his arm to point, but he had already started the motion (as evidence from the shirt) in the previous shot.

posty

Continuity mistake: Matt is firing a machine gun from a rooftop. At one point you can see there are about three rounds left in the feed. Immediately he fires a full burst for much longer than three or four rounds would allow.

Continuity mistake: As Jed and the others are fleeing from the Koreans, they drive through a park and back onto the road. When Jed get back onto the road, the drive shaft can be seen detached from the differential on his truck, but is in one piece after they crashed into the military Hummer. (00:15:10)

DarkNITE

Other mistake: The Wolverines football team is playing a home game, as evidenced by their opponents departing on buses, yet they are wearing their away white uniforms.

Suggested correction: Throughout the history of the sport, many NCAA, NFL, and highschool teams have used white as their home colors. The Chiefs, Dolphins, Eagles, and Cowboys were all well known for wearing white at home during the 80s.

Jed Eckert: Even the tiniest flea can drive a big dog crazy.

More quotes from Red Dawn

Question: What was the actual reason why Russia and North Korea (actually, it was intended to be China) chose to invade the United States? Was it because they saw it as a threat to them? What purpose would dedicating troops and logistics to an invasion of the USA have served?

Answer: The flimsy plotline was that the European Union's economic crisis had weakened the NATO alliance so much that they were vulnerable to a North Korean and Russian invasion. American troops were deployed to support NATO defenses, which supposedly left the U.S. mainland and its infrastructure open to terrorists and cyberattacks. Presumably, Russia's and Korea's joint objective was to weaken/cripple the USA's power, economy, and global influence by creating internal chaos.
