What can I say? Blue Max is a classic*.

Flyboys is a joke...but a pretty cool one.





*except the book had a much neater ending.

Blue Max.

Don't get me wrong, Flyboys had a pretty good idea and good graphics artist, but it wasn't the best execution. Still, pretty cool.

I think Flyboys tried to stress that these guys were just basically have some adventure. Which to a large extent is true. But it really isn't a very "serious" movie.

Blue Max, on the otherhand is pretty heavy. George Peppard is a Hero of the Masses, conspired against by the "man". I haven't read the book, and maybe it's because I was watching Casablanca this morning, but I have a feeling it is pretty pro-socialist.

Not really, but in the book Stachel really is a jerk, and he gets a pretty interesting comeuppance at the end. Nothing like the movie. I highly recommend it.
