....Stuka making a crash landing on the radar station more or less intact; aircraft exploding in mid air with the wings just falling off; Heinkel model crashing into the sea trailing the radio-control wire aerial; the fires of the London Blitz glowing like someone was switching them on and off, plus moving around over London as they were superimposed; THAT 1960's front door and doorbell; no Do17s, Ju88s, Me110's etc; Susannah York's awful 1960's haircut and make-up etc etc etc...

...we could all pick dozens more faults with the film but I still quite happily watch it, because it was made for all the right reasons as a tribute to The Few and accept its shortcomings because there was no CGI at the time. There has also never been a film or book written that does not have mistakes in it.

Seeing as the film industry has run out of new ideas and rehashes old favourites all the time, perhaps they could do something useful and remake BoB with CGI and more accurate detail?

The extras on the DVD show that Galland was the Luftwaffe advisor and the producers had rows with him about various issues e.g. Galland claimed that Luftwaffe pilots never machine-gunned bailed out RAF pilots: the producers said they had evidence they did. It also says that the film cost so much to make, they barely made a penny, even possibly making a loss.
