Andy 60 Posted July 22, 2003 Another thing that makes me laugh is the way that big US movies like to change history. U-571 and Braveheart are probably the best examples of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandora 77 Posted July 22, 2003 And the fact that there almost wasn't a Pearl Harbor movie because it made other countries "look bad." :roll: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bad furday 57 Posted July 23, 2003 Actually, I thought Pearl Harbor was pretty bad...The Japanese put out a much better acting performance than the Americans ! I'd like to see that movie done Mystery Science Theatre 3000 style....would be hilarious! :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ender 8 Posted July 23, 2003 Pearl Harbor was the worst movie I've ever seen. If you want a real, well done, and insanely good WWII story, pick up Band of Brothers or The Big Red One. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted July 23, 2003 Most of the good WW2 movies are old ones... Such as: Cross of Iron The Colditz Story Dam Busters The Battle of Britain Oh... and *cough*Casablanca Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chozen 1 Posted July 23, 2003 THANK YOU!! Someone agrees with me about Pearl Harbor being a terrible film. The other version (Can't remember the name..) was much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted July 23, 2003 the best things about the new version of Pearl Harbor were Ben Affleck and Josh Harnett. the plot was pretty lame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandora 77 Posted July 23, 2003 THANK YOU!! Someone agrees with me about Pearl Harbor being a terrible film. The other version (Can't remember the name..) was much better. Never say Pearl Harbor. Heard it was bad, it looked bad, and everyone that saw it told me it was bad. So I came to the difficult conclusion... that it's bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandora 77 Posted July 23, 2003 Anyway, back on topic: I like the Hummer commercial, with the kid in the down-hill race and the wooden Hummer he takes off-road... ...okay, so I have issues... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad furday 57 Posted July 23, 2003 I liked that commercial too..simply because it involved a race! Looked like loads of fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
