Re: Red Tails
Wow.. that was so bad it was almost painful.
They took what should have been a great story and turned it into StarWars with airplanes~
Pretty amazing that a 262 hits a P-51 with his 30mm and the P-51 flies on.. yet the P-51 hits the 262 with a burst of .50 cal and the 262's wing comes off! And that was just one of the many ridiculous scenes. I also liked it when they showed the B-17 pilot pulling back the no.2 mixture to open the bomb bays doors.
Like I said, it was painful to watch after a while. This one made 'Pearl Harbor' look like a masterpiece.
They just don't make movies like the old days. Tora Tora Tora, Memphis Belle, Midway, BoB, etc...
