The Final Countdown

[CommanderRabbJr]

I like this movie, I always thought of the fights between the Mitsubishi Zero and the F-14 were fun.
Even though its not very realistic, I found it fun entertainment.

Any others out there like this movie?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yeah I guess I liked it. The scene I liked best was when the guy tells the captured Japanese pilot about the as yet to happen attack on Pearl Harbor...listing the 6 carriers...the look on his face...

 

[mikewint]

Yup, I like it too. The scene where the jets over-fly the senators cabin cruiser...priceless

I only read about it in Wikipedia's history of WW2, a defining moment and no wonder the Japanese surrendered.

Welcome to the new world, fact and fiction live in each others pockets. Try discussing Braveheart with a Scot!

 

[Wayne Little]

I liked it too!

 

[Wildcat]

Yep, I've liked it since I was a kid

I thought it was great, better than camp as Christmas top gun !

 

[T Bolt]

Have it on DVD. One of my favorites from back then. Time travel, World War 2 and airplanes. What's not to like.

 

[Boa]

I've liked it since 1941....

 

[MacArther]

Probably one of the few good "Revisionist history" pieces out there....Great movie!

 

[GrauGeist]

There's several movies made along these lines that I like, but my favorite would have to be an episode from the Twilight Zone tv series, titled "The Last Flight" about a WWI RFC pilot appearing through the clouds attempting to land his Nieuport at a modern (for 1960) air base.

Twilight Zone - The Last Flight - IMDb (1960)

Nice one Dave, the old Twilight Zone was really something in the day

I live there - it's called Macclesfield !!

Ahh...so you were out for a jaunt and they mistook you for a wayward RFC time-traveller?

 

[CommanderRabbJr]

Yeah, I liked it also. another 80s World War II movie I liked was "The Philadephia Experiment." Not the sequel, the original.

I remember a Japanese movie where a tank and I think a helicopter went back to Samurai times, it had a massive battle scene in it.

Think from late 70's, early 80's
