Taking Red Dawn out of the 80s just seems so very wrong.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oooh! Look what I found! The evil Communist Russians are back! Red Dawn will work again!
Lenin Statue Kills Belarusian Man
MINSK, Belarus — A massive statue of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin collapsed on a man who was hanging from it Monday, killing him on the spot, authorities said.
The 21-year-old man was drunk when he climbed onto the five-meter (16-foot)-high plaster monument and hung from its arm, the Emergency Situations ministry said. It then broke into pieces and he was crushed.
The statue in the southeastern Belarus town of Uvarovichi was built in 1939.
"The monument's heavy head tumbled on him," said Nataliya Bolbas, a principal at a school in Uvarovichi facing the monument.
President Alexander Lukashenko is a staunch admirer of the Soviet Union, and the nation still has numerous Soviet-era monuments to the revolutionary leader.

Wrod. Especially since this is one of the dialog exchanges I've always remembered:
"Well, who *is* on our side?"
"Six hundred million screaming Chinamen. "
"Last I heard, there were a billion screaming Chinamen."
"There *were*."

A quick Google search reveals the bad guys in the new Red Dawn will be the Chinese (and the Russians).

Google and Red Dawn, China (Russia) will search for a new villain.

OK, last one:
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.
becomes:
I have a job now. Since then, no, I'm rich and I must make clear the nature of the problem that is described in many words of sympathy. I do not. Next, receive a reward.
