New WW2 Pacific War Movie

[Rising-Sun]

It was made back in December last year and finally got on the market, most were Japanese titles and some were made for English as well. But they are not cheap!

Here a trailer on youtube...

Been looking for these videos for sometime and found some at Amazon...

Figured some of you guys would like to grab these before someone else does lol. The video look pretty interesting, i think i am going to wait and see if this get any cheaper within couple of months. Paying that much is pretty high.

The movie that can't be named, JFB edition.

Too bad it hasn't been subtitled in English. It looks like an interesting movie.

CGI looked good. The ships looked accurate, but I could pick out a pagoda from 3 blocks away

[Rising-Sun]

Not sure which sets would be best products, since there a single dvd and a set of three dvds. Been waiting for reviews and comments about them.

Looking forward to watch these series someday.

Any release with dubbing or subtitles????

[Nikademus]

naw.....too harsh, There'd have to be a scene where Yamamoto fights Nagumo for the hand of the fair lady, only for their standoff to be interupted by SBD attack. After which Y and N each jump into an A6M and shoot down VS-6 in it's entirty.

THEN it would be the Japanese equivilent to TMTSNBN.



[:)]


CGI looks good, but the air scenes are looking dangerously close to the Star Wars 'run down the Trench' The temptation to portray WW2 air combat as space battles seems to be universal.

[dr.hal]

Wow, what a harsh critic, glad you've never seen any of my porn movies....

In truth however, it could never be as bad as TMTSNBNed......

You never told me you were in the movies, Hal.

From what I heard many years ago, it's actually the other way around. George Lucas crafted the space battles in Star Wars so they looked like WW II aerial combat scenes from movies he saw as a kid.

Bill

Heard that myself. How he got that impression i'll never know. I watched many an episode of Baa Baa Blacksheep as a kid and I never saw anything like "The Run Down the Trench" in that show.

Those clunky Corsairs...... [:)]

Really missed those flying misfits, need to get a hold of collection of Black Sheep someday. I watched some on youtube, bringing in good memories.

[Nikademus]

I can't help but laugh when i see an old episode. Why? because as a kid i honestly never noted that in the background of the scenes where the Corsairs were coming in to land......you could see roads and telephone poles. Occasionally you'd even see a truck or car driving past.

The setting of the series is supposed to be a South Pacific Island.

I'm pretty sure he was done being a kid before Black Sheep...

Think about the WWII movies. The run down the trench brings to mind Dam Busters, and another which name I can't recall fully, "Squadron" some number or perhaps some number "Squadron" about Mosquitoes running down a Fjiord to deliver bombs to a specific spot on a cliff face. Anything about the raid on Polesti might conjour that image as well. I'm sure there are others. He also mentioned scenes of gunners in bombers fending off enemy fighters. The scene where the Millenium Falcon is being attacked as it escapes the Death Star gave me that very thought as I watched Star Wars in the theater, seeing it the first time. I thought that part was just a cheap ripoff of WWII movies! [:D]

And then came Pappy's Lambs and Peter Frampton as a coast watcher.
That's when I said 'Ooookayyyy...I'm done'
The first couple of seaons were great.

[Skyros]

Lucas ripped off dialogue from Dam Busters as well!

The "Squadron" movie name you refer to is "633 Squadron".

Hal was a "member" of the cast.

Nope, the "Squadron" movie was "Mosquito Squadron"



I was just informed that we are both right. The idea for the run down the trench came from 633 Squadron. Having to fire the missles into the vent at the end of the trench came from Mosquito Squadron. In Mosquito Squadron they had to put a bomb into a doorway.
