Leave it to the Japanese to top U-571

Leave it to the Japanese to top U571 in cheesy sub movies. I was digging around on Youtube and i found this:

Very U-571 ish i thought. No historical accuracy in the slightest. None the less *maybe* it will be fun to watch, it is a sub movie after all.

Then i found this:

HOLY SMOKES, talk about a B flick. The movie set is atrociously bad and cheap, this tops U-571 in cheesiness by far! Miles even!

"In Enemy Hands" is actually not too bad movie. I have it on DVD and if you can get over the cheesy tricks and the total lack of historical accuracy it's actually fun to watch...

Also, it's not Japanese flick...

I could see maybe possibly them taking prisoners aboard a type 9 boat but not a type 7 that's similar in capability's as an S-18. Also as I understand the U-boatwaffa had strict orders that NO prisoners were to be taken under any condition. Aside from all that the trailer looked pretty cool

Anybody notice that In Enemy Hand's U-boat interior is a little... disproportionate compared the one in Das Boot?

Their type 7 was made by Mercedes

Nothing is funnier than all the sub scenes in the movie "Battle of Coral Sea"

When the US sub is sitting on the bottom of the ocean and out of nowhere tapping was heard, then a voice came through, japs had divers came down
and had a voice mic and told the captain of the sub he had 1 hour to surrender his sub in almost perfect english or they would blow it up with a bomb they attached...
