Destination Tokyo

FIREWALL · 07-20-09, 10:53 AM

I had just checked out at my local Albertsons grocery store when I spied this dvd flick on a sale stand for $9.99.

While a bit Hollywood at times... All in all a good movie.

Better than Run Silent, Run Deep imho.

I could never choose between the two..run silent run deep is a bit more 'raw',Destination Tokyo has a more complete story...but those bathtub scenes with underwaterplants bigger then a sub....well yes Hollywood indeed!

I like operation Pacific too,basically you can wake me up for any movie about subs!

But not a bad deal at all for ten Bucks.

The good thing about old movies is you can see a lot of old real ships and subs.....they really pushed the drama back then.

I also enjoyed The Enemy Below.

Agreed on all counts. I loved the fact that the shore party in Tokyo Bay were carrying Winchester lever action rifles!
