This reminds me of an argument I read on a forum. This one guy was trying to convince people that Saving Private Ryan was a waste of film because something about their boots was innacurate and the uniforms were the wrong shade, or some other trivial b.s. which negated the rest of the movie.

I like pointing out movie mistakes as much as the next guy, but keep in mind they exist for entertainment and aren't intended to be taken as gospel (even The Da Vinci Code) so go easy on them.

[Digital Marine]

Indeed, who the hell cares about the boots or uniforms when it's a good story.

with in reason I agree.

[Digital Marine]

with in reason I agree.

Ofcourse, it can't be real bad. But Saving Private Ryan had fairly accurate uniforms. Maybe a few misses but that was it...

[Maine Finn]

thats it
bad movie

Oh my God, it's the end of the bloody world because the aimpoint is backwards!

Dude it's just a movie. Sit down, take a deep breath, and have a beer. It will be all right.

SPR was good, its when film makers ignore noticable details that piss me off.

This movie was very enjoyable until the final twist where all the people who died during the movie actually didnt die and were there having a drink...

[Whitcomb]

Yeh but I liked that part, kind of put a different spin on it

[dave81]

what was wrong with that one Dave^^^ I never saw itThe uniforms were ridiculously wrong. One example: Sam Jackson wears two different ranks (E-4 then E-7) during the course of the movie, and it has nothing to do with the plot -- they just weren't paying attention. It's usually cited amongst me and my friends as an example of a military movie that couldn't get be bothered with getting things right. It wouldn't matter if it was a direct-to-video crapfest like "Delta Force Commando 7: Snake Force", but this was a big Hollywood movie with huge stars and a big-name director.

[AFJROTC55]

i liked basic and Tears of the Sun, i know enough about military to know that hollywood could care less, i dont watch bigscreen military movies for the continuity and the factuality. i just like the action.

well that's retarded, did they not have military advisors? or maybe just sucky wardrobe people..

Speaking of movies, anybody see Annapolis? I'm probably gonna watch that tonight..I liked James Franco in The Great Raid, but I'm a little skeptical about this one..Good or Bad?

[Anthony91]

with in reason I agree.

x2.!!!!:D:D:D.

[Fargin]

Everyone knows alledged military advisors and weapons trainers are on an overpaid vacation. Any military advisor with an actual military background, wouldn't waste time on unimportant matters, but focus on getting some trailer time with the lead actress. The uniforms can be oh so perfect, while the actor/director decides to override SOP and basic training, because the actor is more conserned with displaying their ability to 'understand' the person behind the soldier or do a roll through a doorway.

Who cares if she's holding the weapon up side down if you can get Julia Roberts to scream: 'You are a worthless maggot' wearing only a bandolier. :roll:

Annapolis was an all right movie. I don't know about inaccuracies because it's obviously a Navy movie, but it was okay plot-wise.

[Anthony91]

I liked Annapolis....since it is in my DVD collection. One of the only reasons I bought it was for Joanna Brewster. :)woot:)

Dale Dye is probably one of the best military advisors for film though right?, he runs a training camp for actors, called Warriors .....something or other I believe

[Anthony91]

Yeah Dale Dye is a great military advisor. And his company is called "Warriors Inc.". I heard about them from this show about Alexander the Great on the Military Channel.

[zonk]

being in the military took all the fun out of military movies for me years ago.

[TuNeRsHaRk]

Tears of the sun was Awsome i thought

i still dont know why willis had his Aimpoint Mounted backwards though

[Hellfish]

I liked the movie.

[AFJROTC55]

its all about the action

[jipman]

I'd like to see it. Does it even matter if the aimpoint is mounted the wrong way, except for some minor mounting problems?

This movie is gay to the beyond.

Surfed on the BHD wave... Bad bad movie.

[Aerosoul]

being a military movie, this forum is going to be a harsh critic generally speaking.

[Ria]

I liked the movie, even if it was really unrealistic (not just how they escaped from a rainshower of bullets near the end) but also little gun things like that scope that I probably wouldn't easily recognize. And the soundtrack was beautiful...better than the movie. :)

I started watching The Matador last night...got about 30 minutes into it. Don't know if I want to finish it, I was not impressed at all. I don't really care for Pierce Brosnan.

LOL. I started to watch The Matador last night too, but of course, it was all scratched up and I couldn't watch it.

[AFJROTC55]

i'll be money that some poor shmuck put his reticle or whatever on backwards and didnt realize it till he got into a fight.

yeah me to, i thought i was the only one

[Whitcomb]

My teacher showed us tears of the sun in class to illustrate the whole genocide point, he said up until the village scene was what made the movie good, but after that, it turned into the typical "bruce willis action film", and i agree 100% with him

Can't really argue. But I'm a fan of Bruce Willis. Die Hard 1 & 3 are two of my favorite movies.

[Bombtrack]

But what about Die Hard 2: Die Harder?

My favourite things in it were how the "Special Forces" looked, acted, and bumbled around like recruits, or how no one noticed that they were only being fired on with blanks.

Totally Wicked

[Hellfish]

Notice why I didn't include that movie...

[Bombtrack]

i must have forgot the sarcasm tags

[Hellfish]

Yes, you did.

[Deftoner]

Maybe its mounted backwards because the military advisor wanted to have a larf....

"Hey guys I made made Bruce Willis mount his optics backwards. LOL" ;)

[Seraphim]

Everyone who I talked to that saw Annapolis said there was a guy in it that reminded them of me.

[Saranof]

It would seem so sometimes, seeing the errors they seem to be making..

Blessing in disguise...I watched more of it, just to make sure I wasn't missing anything, but that has to be one of the more crappy movies I've seen.

[Anthony91]

Thank god you told me about this. Instead I watched Date Movie.

that movie rock it was way better then the other seal team movies.

Now that movie sucked the big one

[Gauntlet]

I can't get over the inaccuracies of Top Gun

1. The Russian "MiGs" were American made F-5s/T-38s. It just annoys me so much.

2. I don't believe the Navy has helmets customized to match callsigns

3. Walking in the hallways/elevator with nothing but a towel is bad form for an Officer. Get dressed dammit!

4. I thought I saw an officer wearing a Colonel/Captain's Eagle but it was gold not silver.

5. Don't Ask Don't Tell policy was never enforced.

[Anthony91]

Now that movie sucked the big one

Yeah....I found that out after 2 hours of crap. :-*$

[Marvin!!]

I enjoyed Tears of the Sun, it's a good movie which incorporates a good story with entertaining action.

The only thing that struck me as inaccurate was the missiles the Hornets fire at the end. Missiles against a scattered pack of badly-trained rebels?
:|

I didn't know they'd made an air-to-ground, napalm Sparrow missile :|rofl

[Beloved Shiv]

Indeed, who the hell cares about the boots or uniforms when it's a good story.

If I remember right, and what I was told, they were HARMs, but still I didnt know they had napalm warheads.

HARMS against gun-toting banana farmers? That makes even more sense :p

It was not a good story, it was a contrived piece of sh*t. Guys on super secret clandestine missions just knock the whiny yet hot Dr. bitch out and take her home. Movie over. Then they don't have to run around all over Africa on some retarded goatf*ck while Tom Skerrit yells on the deck of a carrier as if anyone could actually hear what he was saying.

[Aerosoul]

hmm. good point.

[AOCBravo2004]

You wanna talk about bad military movies? THE ROCK with Nick Cage, Connery and Ed Harris. Total, utter crap! Notice how every frag had the explosive power of a Mk-82???

Oh, Stealth, ugh, I cringe at the thought, almost walked out of the movie after 15mins!

[Aerosoul]

hey, The Rock was tight.
except for that immature SEAL, the last one that was killed in the shower room. he was retarded.

[AOCBravo2004]

hey, The Rock was tight.

Don't get me started on The Rock, my other complaint about war movies is that weapons are automatically charged/cocked everytime they raise the f-ing muzzle!!! DRIVES ME NUTS!!!

[Aerosoul]

that's because of your time in the service and familiarization with weapons. it would be nice if there were more movies that were accurate down to such a point as cocked/uncocked weapons in a firefight, but there are not. i don't let something that small get in the way of me enjoying a good movie, though.

It's not that that ruined The Rock, it was just a bad movie! It's a typical Jerry "spend all money on explosions and no story" Bruckheimer movie.

[Aerosoul]

no story? mmmk.....

HEAT and I think Ronin have the best weapons drills in movies, they do everything right, right down to Immediate Actions and Stoppages

no doubt, Heat and Ronin are definitely on my list of favorites.

[AOCBravo2004]

Oh hell yeah! Heat is actually a remake of a made for tv movie from the late 80's.

So what does everyone think was in the ice skate case in Ronin??? I say some sort of chem/bio weapon.

[Hellfish]

Some kind of electronic data. Names of agents, etc. Nothing exotic like an NBC weapon.

[Aerosoul]

my mom mailed the tuition check without signing because shes retarded. she gets back from italy tomorrow. im going to decide what to do in that time period.

whether to send the check back (signed, which the school knows and is fine with), or do something else.
