Maybe it was a combination tanker-ammo cargo ship-destroyer. I heard the Germans were working on that during the war... read it on the Internets Tubes.

I first threw my popcorn at the screen when Harvey Keitel shouted "Dive! Dive! Dive!" and rang the klaxon three times. The guy I was watching it with (not in the theater) asked my why I would complain about such a little thing. "Hey," I replied, "If they can't get the tiniest thing right, what makes you think they got any of it right?"\
Sure enough, the movie has not one redeeming value. I take that back. It gave Pacific Aces some great scenes to use for some of their sound files.

This scene sadly was misunderstood. It was supposed to be conveyed that Harvey Keitel had used "the force" to increase the torpedoes speed to such a rate that when it hit the German destroyer it caused a violent rip the space/time continuum which caused the massive explosion. You can see him using the force right here (once youtube decides to allow me to capture at the correct point it wont even though I am copying URL at current point.)2:13 of this clip. |

You need to do a youtube series where you pick movies apart like these guys...but in a humorous way like you do on here. CinemaSins Also, do you notice how the German Helmsman starts frantically turning the wheel when the torpedo is still a distance away....but they still haven't changed course when the torpedo hits.... Leave the Down-the-Throat-Shots to Commander Richardson, USN. (Run Silent, Run Deep reference ) ---------------------------- I just watched The Guilt Trip with Seth Rogen about the inventor who takes his Mom on a road trip with him while he's promoting his new product. Anybody who has ever had an embarrassing Mom will love this movie. It's hilarious.

Just a webcam and an idea..... I haven't seen much Half in the Bag stuff. I only found CinemaSins yesterday. I thought it was kind of amusing how they pick apart movies.

I have to give one backhanded compliment to Pearl Harbor, and it's a bizarre thing that has always bugged me. In Tora! Tora! Tora! they have a long discussion of the problems involved in dropping airborne torpedoes in a shallow harbor. The torpedoes tend to plunge deep before rising back to their running depth. They discuss the British solving the problem at Taranto, and they say they've solved the problem, but they never say how.
In Pearl Harbor they have a scene of Japanese crewmen fitting large breakaway wooden fins to the torpedoes, but they never actually say what they're doing or why. Not even a hint.

I must admit, that's one of my favourite scenes, I just love the setting, the map on the chalkboard, the model ships. Highly unlikely the Japanese actually did have something like that, but it sure looks awesome. |

How bizarre. I just didn't remember that. Of course I detested the movie so much I only saw it the one time. Sorry about that.

Either way, that's an interesting picture.
Is that Charlie Chaplin testing the water depth?
