Have any of you guys seen this movie? It's a Czech film about 2 pilots that run from the nazis and go to fly for the RAF. It's a great film, I saw it years ago but can't find it now. Netflix doesn't have it and the copy at my local video store went missing.
If you can get a hold of it check it out. It's not very action packed (it's a drama) but well worth a rent if you can find it. I guess I'm going to have to find a copy on the Ebay.

I own this movie, on VHS. Don't know where mine is exactly, but it was a good movie. Poor little Czech's, fighting over ladies.... It was a good movie, interesting to watch.

Yeah, It's kinda like a Chech version of Pearl Harbor (only not so sucky). Not as good as Battle of Brittan (love the happy music they play when the nazis are on screen). Did you know they rented the spitfires for the flying scenes from the Mexican airforce? I was vacationing there in Cozumel few months ago & they were doing training in what looked like T33 shooting stars, it was really cool to see those old jets.

I actually bought the DVD a couple of years after it was released. Lost track of it the last time I moved.

Great movie, I loved its downer ending. Not so centered on air combat like other movies like The Battle of Britain, but it's worth watch.

The young pilot who hangs around with the older guy in the movie, kinda pissed me off. Maybe it was just because it was a semi-chick flick, but the attitude of the young pilot just pissed me off. Good movie though, interesting combat scenes. (There are like five total combat scenes, right?)

I really enjoyed this movie too. It came out about the same time as Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor, but in spite of costing only the tiniest fraction of Pearl Harbor to make, it has more realistic action sequences, relying a lot less on exaggerated CGI.

I think there are hundreds of effects shots in Dark Blue World, but they used several different methods -- with a combination of new footage of real planes, models, and modified footage from The Battle of Britain.
