The Red Baron (2008) Movie Clips

VFX Reel (first clip released to the public)

MovieTrailer (second clip released to the public)

Looks awesome. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it will be released in the United States or not.

I saw that first clip a long time ago, but the second one is new to me. I'm hoping it's better than the awful Flyboys was, but it looks like some of the CGI planes are doing some pretty impossible stuff, like instantly rolling right between two oncoming planes. Still, I'm looking forward to it.

As to a US release, if they don't , it will be on DVD soon enough. Still, I'd like to see it on the big screen.

Not sure on the grounds there was stuff in there that was plain BS. In the terms, how historically accurate is it?

Platapus · 02-06-08, 07:13 PM

I hope the awful music in the trailer is not in the music. period music would be much better, even if newly composed.

Neither clip really explained the story or the movie. I hope it is not just special effects

9/10 on the accuracy. Notice the guy with the nightcap? That was Kurt Wolff, and that was also true to history. How about Voss' paint scheme? Also correct.

A trailer for Peter Jackson's Crossing the Line also appears as a Related Video on the same link.

It looks pretty off the hook.

I'd love it if these kind of movies became a smash hit, 'cause then maybe the gaming industry would hook up. WWI Dogfighting was truly something of another world, and the best game that has tried to handle it is the Over Flanders Fields mod (freeware that is), which is based on Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3. Now I want something real though!

Honestly, these clips look as if like they're from flyboys 2. The action looks way overdone, and I get the impression they're going with am annoying modern edge to get the young audience. I hope I'm wrong

True, but the movies would have to be like Das Boot. Or otherwise we'd have gaming industry make tons of arcade shooters that just happens happen between aircraft.

As for the movie itself, it looks awfully fast paced. In a bad way that is. Some of the scenes look like the planes are going 450km/h. Also, wtf was that scene where the pilot shot the zeppelin with a flare gun? Rrrrright...

Underpowered and dangerous to fly.

Now the Dr.7 was the Fokker to have on the western front imo.

And there I was, wondering about what mighty specs a PC would need to run this sim...

I was hoping to see a Snoopy-Red Barron music video.

Hm, Dowly, you know that some pilots where equipped with singal pistols, and obs. balloons were a prioritated target. However, balloon busting missions was EXTREMELY dangerous.
