Another thing that makes me laugh is films with the wrong weapons.
There was 1 cant remember name but the germans had sten guns.

LOL, Saving Private Ryan...

Yes the D-Day scene was cool, but they showed them catching the beach on the first wave, which never happened. In fact the first wave had 99% casualties. Still a great scene non the less.

But once Ven Diesel died the movie turned bad. Shooting through scopes of snipers, a fake battle for a bridge, stupid german soldiers, oh and my personal favorite, the T34 Panzer. Yes thats right, look at the tank near the end of themovie again and you will find a Panzer turret mounted right on top of a old T34 tank.

Oh, and how about that Danger Close airstrike by the P-51's were Hanks is shooting his Colt at the tank when it blows up like 50 feet away. HAHA no.

Another one I always laugh at is guns in films. They can rattle like their held together with sting, never need to be reloaded and make cocking noises for no apparent reason. For the good guys they can be pinpoint accurate while running, and the baddies can't hit anything beyond 10 feet. I love Hollywood...

The landing scenes in Saving Private Ryan were filmed at Curracloe beach very close to where I live in Ireland. It was a bit mad seeing all the WW11 kit scattered all over the place for filming. I was kinda hopeing a section could have been left once filming had been completed but everything was shipped out and the beach restored to its original glory.

The private investors on the film Flyboys:

"The film was financed privately outside the standard Hollywood studio circuit by a group of filmmakers and investors, including producer Dean Devlin and pilot David Ellison, son of Oracle Corp. founder Larry Ellison; both spent more than $60 million of their own money to make and market "Flyboys"."

"The film opened at #4 the box office with a total box office gross of $17,770,614.[18] On December 27, 2006, Variety named it one of the 10 biggest box office flops of the year, citing an estimated shortfall of $90 million.[19]"

I admire their enthusiasm and desire to make a film on the subject but they must have been mad to agree to such a cliche ridden cheesy script. Real film makers could have made 3 real films about WW1 and WW2 combat with that money
