While not my favorite, I posted on two threads a WWII Sub movie that was fairly good made in 1963.
Never saw it posted on SubSim since I've been a member. |

I like Destination Tokyo, but at the subsim meet all of us gathered around and watched it picking out every flaw and oddity.
a good time was had by all  Run Silent Run Deep made an excellent movie, but I preferred the book

This link list every sub movie ever made in case you missed one
http://submarinemovies.com/movies-A-C.html You can watch most of them here, use stagevu whenever possible, no ads. One that I haven't found online yet, but I copied it with my VCR long ago, some of the best footage of WW1 ships and planes you will see and you see what a real S-boat looks like inside and out. MGM purschased a few DD's for the movie that were headed to the scrapyard...get a chance see it. http://www.moviesonlineathome.com/index.php? Another list Pre-World War II

You should add it to the Wiki page.
Anyway, I watched Operation Pacific with John Wayne. As in most his movies a lot of real battle footage is used. In the movie they showed several rolling films through a sub scope of merchants being hit...the real stuff, not the fake stuff. I know about taking single camera shots, but not about rolling film from a scope...so. What caught my attention is there appears to be real rolling film from a sub lens of a large TF, I assume JP, but who knows, but the taker is the following footage through the lens of a possible Kongo and positve Fuso BB. Anyone have any thoughts or knowledge on this footage. It's show about 1.25 in the movie. Never heard of the sub that filmed this, unless it was transposed to look like it was coming through a sub lense and is actual surface filming. |

not tecnically a subnmarine movie
The full length feature film Victory at Sea. There are some sub scenes, but the best is when a plane crash lands on a carrier, bursts into flames, and the pilot is rescued when a sailor climbs on the buring wing (we a talking about really on fire) and pulls the pilot to safety. Real life action.

Wish I could find more info on the real clips from Operation Pacific. Hard to believe a sub filmed a Fuso through the lens, but that wasn't fake. Had several running films through the scope lens of JP TF. I wonder if it was through a Jap scope or maybe they transposed the lens over some actual surface filming.

I'm sure you saw the one before that through a scope watching a large carrier TF, you could tell how real that was. Course, that could've been a US force, but let's assume it is a JP TF. Then you get the filming of the Kongo looking BB and the Fuso, obvious the film is real, hard to determine if the scope look was somewhat added, but I don't think so.
Never heard of a US sub doing rolling film of a JP TF, then the BB's, that was fairly close even with high magnification. What skipper would have a camera set up at a time like that..... Sure most here have seen this site, but has most WW2 real film footage unedited http://www.realmilitaryflix.com/public/department55.cfm Last edited by Armistead; 10-28-10 at 07:30 AM. |

I love VAS, great video's. You should check out the link I posted. Think most here have seen the unedited sub links there, but they add more real war footage about every week. I loved the real footage of the men invading Iwo, amazing, felt like I was taking the beach. If you looked hard you saw dead bodies everywhere.
The other real war links are great, even the Iraq and Afgan war, but some graphic stuff. |
