SayethWhaaaa Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 My only problem with Sky Crawlers was that the in-flight scenes were amazing, but I wanted to see more! Like how those giant flying wings could land with that giant vert stabiliser below, and just behind the bomb bay. Quote
+Dave Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Heck I really can't chose one, because its dogfighting and like motorcycles and tits, they are all good. Quote
Do335 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Few scenes of the Anime film called Sky Crawlers. The plot kinda don't make sense but it has pretty realistic dogfights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIyeuK9QBJY My only problem with Sky Crawlers was that the in-flight scenes were amazing, but I wanted to see more! Like how those giant flying wings could land with that giant vert stabiliser below, and just behind the bomb bay. yea it's a bit of a surreal story, maybe happening on a faraway nihilist/dream land (or summin' like that :p), and so bizarre stuff that doesn't make sense could happen. the whole thing also seemed extremely sad btw. my take on it anyways......

ironroad Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I vividly recall this Movie...or video game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTNsdVXPb10 However...my favorite cinematic dogfight scenes have to be... 1: Top Gun: As cheesy as it seems today the movie broke a lot of ground and became a pop culture icon. Every military movie made sense (particularly one featuring aircraft) has tried to emulate it in some shape or form 2: Battle of Britain: Never saw the original when it was released in theaters but I do recall seeing for the first time on VHS when I was young. I don't see how you can not watch the movie and root for the good guys. Robert Shaw, Michale Caine, Edward Fox...some of the most talented UK actors to grace the screen. The movie's musical score was superb. "Repeat Please!" 3: The Final Countdown: The movie plot is a little too "tv scifisih" but the flight scenes more than make up for it. Seeing the "Golden Age" of US Naval Aviation at work, hearing TF30 screeching while maneuvering behind a Japanese Zero. Seeing the RF-8 on screen, that aircraft did not get its full cinematic just due until about 20+ years later until Thirteen Days. 4: Firefox: I like the espionage/spy thriller parts of the more than I like the final showdown between the two super MIGs. Yes it was low budget and scifi, but still turned out to be an entertaining movie. 5: Hot Shots: The training flight scenes and the last show down are funny as all hell. Admiral Benson is what made the movie. Edited October 6, 2014 by ironroad Quote

JediMaster Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 If you ever wanted a show based on an aircraft carrier, BSG is as close as you were ever going to get. Quote
