Guys...

I just bought this today and, did not know it was out. About an irish/american B17 crews. While I have not had time to sit down and watch it will be sunday now I am always wary of new modern war films Anyone seen this and without giving info away till I see it could I have some opinions on what they thought
Cheers

Is this the one.

I've been trying to get it in blu-ray, but the only place that has it seems to be Tesco, and they
won't ship to the U.S.
 
I did not look at the clip as I have not had chance to watch the movie so, avoided looking at the clip. The one I am talking about has Bug Hall Donnie Jeffcoat manu Intiraymi directed Michael Phillips

I have PM'd you about your question

Did you watch it yet? Not well done, but at least the story
is recorded that a major motion picture production couldn't
make a profit. CGI isn't very good. Be sure to read the
disclaimer at the very end of the credits.

Glad you got the dvd ok:)
 
I mentioned to UK that It was better than some modern WWII films but, not very good. I put it just in front of the last jump!!!!

Glad it was all sorted for you and that you got the Blue ray

For those of us who will not be seeing this, what does the disclaimer say at the end of the credits? Having worked on Hollywood and independent films I am always curious to what end credits say.

My first feature film has some gag credits in the end and a statement that no stuffed animals were harmed during the making of the film. We did not have any live animals and I felt we needed something. Can't go too wild as you get charged by the line for credits.{eek3}

Sorry this took me so long to post. For some reason I got a chuckle out of it. Maybe
I've been on this form too long. Reminded me of the "usual suspects." The bold highlights
are mine. Its an American film company, which surprized me since it was released in
the UK first (?). At least on blu-ray or I just missed it.

“To the segment of our audience who noticed flaws in certain historical and technical
aspects of our film: We strove to be as accurate as were able to afford. This movie was
a labor of love, born out of respect for the men of the Army Air Corps, who both flew
and supported the operations of B-17s during WWII.

Unfortunately, much of the equipment that might of increased the accuracy of our sets
no longer exists, and those people who still own and operate B-17s were not forth coming
with assistance in providing us with access to planes. We were forced to do what many generations
of film makers and G.I.s had to do before us: Make do. So, to those who were unable to enjoy
the film due to glaring inaccuracies, we offer our deepest condolences. No doubt, you will
find a community of like-minded, disappointed individuals on the Internet to validate your outrage

at such historical inaccuracies such as the lack of small wall tents, or the wrong gauge rivets in
the cockpit windows. We hope in time you will forgive us.

No B-17s were harmed in the making of this film.

Thanks for the post - interesting credits. While I do know that there are a lot of folks with B-17s who only like to do shows, I find it hard to believe that they could not get one for static interior or ground shots. And maybe they were on a tight budget (we all are when making films) but there is always a way to get things to look correct.

I like the last sentence the best about no B-17 being harmed. That's the humor credits I look for.

Thanks again.

Matthew
