Who the hell would still show up to work at Subway when the North Koreans just invaded your town? Honestly, that defies real world logic.Also, you could tell that was obvious product placement because absolutely no one calls Subway employees "sandwich artists" except the CEOs of Subway.
shareI literally stopped watching the movie about 10 minutes after that scene.
Absolutely horrible movie.

You have obviously never been deployed or in the military. The area is occupied, but if you notice, there are plenty of people who aren't captive. The North Koreans we letting people, who didn't resist, live their lives, as we do overseas. And I could not have detected any more sarcasm than Josh Hutcherson used when he called the guy a sandwich artist.
shareSorry, but you're wrong about product placement (which seems to happen a lot these days). Just because a product appears in a movie doesn't make it product placement, which is when a company specifically pays the movie studio to feature their product.
For one thing, the "sandwich artist" line is probably just intended for humor, and secondly, he tells the employee to load up the bag with bread - anything but flatbread - implying that the flatbread is no good. If it was actually product placement, there's no way Subway would sign off on that.
You are an idiot, any company logo or product is not allowed in a movie unless that company signs off on it. The company can sue the film otherwise.

Yes, they would. A lot of product placement these days pokes a little fun at the product being sold. It helps soften the effect of watching a commercial in the middle of a TV show or movie.
BTW, if you still don't think it counts as product placement, Google "product placement red dawn subway" and see if any of the 16,000+ links complaining about it can convince you.
And these aren't just random jackasses on a message board complaining. These are movie reviews from reputable sources.

You actually think subway just happened to be in the movie? You sir are a dumbass!
shareYour post made me laugh so hard because it's true. I remember working in places like that and praying WW3 would break out so I could just not go into work.
I was soooo confused by it because how does money still exist in an America that is invaded. Like are they using North Korean money how do they earn this money? Why would the NK even let people go there? Wouldn't they force the Americans to eat rations? So subway is still profiting when the NK announcements keep saying America is greedy we will liberate you from this. So in that way it was terrible product placement.
Also how the hell is Josh Pecks phone still working, how is he charging it?
With the electricity which was on again the next day. (Or, it was just coasting on a week's worth of juice.)

Bwahaha get a life. This film is not worth any intelligent argument at the end of the day.
If I got a few weeks off that job it would have been good enough. How do you know I wouldn't just join the resistance and steal all my food and shelter etc. In those days I was more imagining a Zombie apocalypse anyway, something there would be no coming back to civilisation from.

I wasn't arguing with anyone I stated a point and made a comment that is all. You made it into this who no, no, no because shíte.

The sandwich artist line was sarcasm.
