Also Barnes Wallis would be an ex special forces soldier living incognito but retaining the ability to walk into a group of armed bad guys unarmed and kick punch elbow tickle his way past them all and when he does need a gun he'll take it from said bad guys and somehow the 9mm rounds his pistol fires are magically able to defeat all known levels of body armor, oh and lets not forget if he takes a bullet to the chest a quick burn with a knife blade heated up cherry red heals a sucking chest wound, and somehow the knife's heat treatment is also not effected, and all this happens on a boat, plane, train or building, and the bloke gets back with his wife at the end because now that he is famous and will no doubt get lots of money from interviews she will suddenly want to be with him again, did it miss anything?.
An undeserved hatchet job on some senior official who blocks every clever idea?
How important was the fog to the overall story? Did he take the controls of one of the aircraft during the mission? Did he stop German commandos sent to stop the mission? The story does not lose much if the dog does not appear.
Who do you think was the mole?
He's been wanting to make that movie since 2013!
The problem is is the name of the dog is also the call sign for the success of the mission.
So change the code word for mission success. As a historical datum it's pretty trivial.
And there is the whole separate story of the Dortmund-Ems canal mining in 1940 where Gibson and his colleagues was flying Hampdens dropping converted mines into the canal at low level. In concept á strategic precursor to the later dambuster raid.
Gibson's career is absolutely stellar and you could make a series on him alone.
Why would Mel Gibson want to make a movie about the WWII RAF? He is rabidly anti-British.
To attack the RAF and the Western Allies? Gibson has also made some antisemitic screeds and used antisemitic tropes in his movie.
Paycheck?
I don't see how to attach Jews to anything to do with the Dambusters.
'Braveheart' loves the Scottish!
Okay, Mel Gibson is anti-English. The Thugs did say "Brits".
