I watched Phantom Below yesterday, and actually I thought it wasn't that bad. As Nemo stated, purely fictional, and with some pretty crappy computer generated images, but it wasnt totally unbearable...
That thing about the several versions sounds pretty funny... I read that somewhere before, but still can't believe it :hmm: although that gay thing sounds plausible regarding the lineup of actors although I fear that lesbians would be pretty disappointed... only one female actor in the movie, and as far as I am concerned, not really hot... Came to think about a Brokeback Sub version of "Das Boot"... I was pretty mad, though, as they never explained why that phantom sub wasn't detectable by sonar... sounds a little like the screenwriters didn't know themselves Cheers Arno |

On my point of wiew, ir isn't a naval movie: just an example of action/martial arts tale, and not the worst in this category. |

While on the subject of inaccuracy in naval movies, I wondered what the chances are of a torpedo hitting a submerged sub when aimed solely by WW2 technology sound location. When it happened in 'U-571' I didn't object too much - just another dingleberry in the whole pile of poop. But when it happened again in the respectable 'In Enemy Hands' it got me wondering.

I've never heard of anyone doing it in real life. I'd guess the chances are pretty slim, especially considering how many torpedoes missed when they were aimed using a periscope and the latest technology for the time.

Pearl Harbor - The only time in my life I considered walking out of the cinema, it was an insult to anyone with the slightest WW2 knowledge. Just awful. I was just hoping Affleck would die, but had to wait 3+ hours.
U-Boat In Enemy Hands - I can`t believe fine actors like William H. Macy and Thomas Kretschmann involved themselves with this stinker U-571 - Haven`t seen it, never will. I fear I will throw my TV out the window, rockstar style |
