Every once in a while Hollywood surprises me an actually makes a decent film. I sincerely hope that this is one of those times, but I ain't holding my breath. Looks pretty mediocre from what I've seen so far.
Here's a link to the "movie thread" if anyone's interested: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=24909 Last edited by flynlion; 01-04-2012 at 04:18 AM.

332nd Fighter Group
B17 Pilot: Watz up?
B17 tailgunner: Hope not another german bandit!  Looking forward to see this film, I just hope for a couple of things 1) that Cuba Gooding Jr makes it to the end of the movie or dies singing the whole 99th FG battle march anthem. 2) that the dogfights look realistic, unlike Tuskegee Airmen where P51 D dogfight without fuel tanks, but later on clim up with the bombers with new fuel tanks attached. Jajaja 3) apropriate planes for the apropriate squadron, I mean 99th North Africa= P40s, 99th Italy = Tunderbolts, and 332nd P51 Mustang (C,B, and D). That its all from the looks of the trailer, we heading into a good start.

i dont know...saw the preview on the TV for it. supposed to hit the theaters the 20th. some of the maneuvers the planes are doing will probably ruin it for me....a 262 doing a barrel roll tighter than a red bull racer...a 51 recovering from a climbing stall within 50 feet and smoke a kraut. i was actually hoping for something more realistic more. will probably wait for pay per view on this one....tho seeing it on the big screen would add a lot. sincerely hope i am wrong but have the nagging feeling i am not.

As I said before, some suspension of disbelief is required. I bargain that more than 75 percent of the people that see Red Tails won't have any idea what you're talking about. I'm sure lawyers hate court room movies/shows and doctors hate medical movies/shows, but sometimes it's nice to sit back and enjoy the show.

Some will naturally be CGI, it has to be because we simply don't have the means to have hundreds of B17's etc flying about getting shot up haha.
But for the film, real P51's were used alot, they were painted up to represent the authentic squadrons and flown to Prague i believe. Here's a clip - Watch from 53 seconds and also watch from 1:23, wow Personally i cant wait for this film, i need a break from the chick flicks the Mrs makes me see.

Excellent article on USAToday.com today. It gives me a lot of faith in this film.

Thanks for sharing Crash.
To qoute Lucas - "It's all left over from me being 10 years old." The excact reason I love BoP. And I'm sure I'll love this movie. And maybe it will hit a few 10 year olds with aw even these days. Who knows... It may be a good recruiter to BoS
