Nope, I'm not......but Hollywood, Paramount or whoever it was that made the film are :rotfl: |
Yeah - I went to that movie as a kid, thinking cool, I can see some dogfight action! First disappointment was the F-5's posing as Russian MiG's. Second disappointment came when all they did was take right or left turns! And then, WTH is this thing - "i gotta wait for missile lock" thing? I mean, come on! What a bunch of crap. I walked out of there with mixed feelings a bit. On one hand, got to see 'some' flying. On the other, it was completely unrealistic and Hollywood.
I think I read somewhere later on that the movie producers thought that normal Americans wouldn't understand the dogfight in the vertical.
