The film ‘Pearl Harbor’ is screening for the first time free-to-air in New Zealand on TV3 tonight.
I notice they have decided to cut the overlong film into two parts and screen it as a mini-series over tonight and tomorrow instead of a one-off movie.
Not a bad idea – the girls can watch the first night with all the sop and over-romantic bull that was obviously meant to draw in the teenage girl audience, the guys can watch the second installment on Tuesday with all the awesome flying and real action 🙂
So to all the Kiwi blokes on this board, don’t forget to watch Tuesday night.

Yes.
And his “chaff” contraption to fool the enemy missiles!

I always wondered whether that would be allowed – but since it’s Tarantino’s movie, he can do what he damn-well wants, I guess! :rolleyes:
Remember the bazooka-thingy Christopher Cazenove had?? I always laugh at that scene. It’s like he says to the jet pilot: “Say hello to my li’l friend!” 😀
By: Olivier Lacombe - 27th October 2004 at 19:43
Oh, ok!
I get it now!!
Hey, they don’t comply with FAA regulations in that movie, they fly in the cabin with a sword.
That’s a lot bigger than a X-Acto!! 😀 😉

Noooo, that was Gordon Liu, I think.
Sonny Chiba was the sword-dude, Hattori Hanzo.

Was he that old fumanchu chinese guy?
Mae Pae or some bloody name?
By: DazDaMan - 27th October 2004 at 18:28
Sonny Chiba was a bit more convincing in Kill Bill 😉

Or the silly kamikaze thing with the Jap!
By: DazDaMan - 27th October 2004 at 17:52
Just a pity Christopher Cazenove (playing the Brit pilot with a raaather stiff upper lip) bought it so early near the end!
By: Olivier Lacombe - 27th October 2004 at 17:41
Daz, yes!
I love the P-51 painted as a Focke-Wulf!

Better find someone else to talk about. Heh.

Hi Wrenchbender – wrong Dave
This seems to have jumped a page and aeveral dozen posts , it relates to Dave Homewoods coments of New Zealand and JKDs reply. I was making the point that James is coming back to Aus to live and that Dave and I will have to re indoctrinate him to his homeland and neighbours etc – sorry for the confusion – don’t know why it moved so far.
Regards
John P

As a fellow antipodean I have to remind you that JKD has been AWOL from Aus without a note for 30+ years and that he has “Been recalled for diplomatic discussions” as they say in diplomatic circles ie He is comming “home” and it is up to all of us to put him through appropriate retraining and cultural awareness instruction. This reindoctrination will naturally include sessions in Kiwi land to reintroduce him to the neighbours and aquaint himself with our shared cultural heritage (ie slagging each other off)
What????????????????????????????????????????????????? Lost in translation.

But Iron Eagle 3 kicks ass… 😉
By: Melvyn Hiscock - 27th October 2004 at 00:23
If Iron Eagle 2 was like stepping in doggie do, then Pearl Harbour is like finding out it was not doggie but human.
By: Olivier Lacombe - 26th October 2004 at 20:36
Even worst!
By: DazDaMan - 26th October 2004 at 19:30
More like USAAF F-4s were -28s… :rolleyes:
By: Olivier Lacombe - 26th October 2004 at 19:19
Oh really? The Soviet F-4s in Iron Eagles 2 were MiG-28s??
Oh dear…
By: DazDaMan - 26th October 2004 at 18:29
At least it’s not as bad as Iron Eagle 2 – Phantoms decked up as MiGs (28s no less!)
By: Olivier Lacombe - 26th October 2004 at 18:27
They did what they could with what they had.
And what could have they used to make the MiGs?
MiG-28 is fine with me!
By: Jagan - 26th October 2004 at 17:08
Hey, Top Gun is so much better than PH!
At least it’s all real planes, no silly CGI!
Yes,….but MiG-28s? :rolleyes: PH is better!
