RE: Part I: Favourite Armoured Battle in a War Movie? - Raven - 12-13-2009 Always liked this battle out of "Wheels Of Terror" :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6K0_IOYSak&feature=related RE: Part I: Favourite Armoured Battle in a War Movie? - Hawk Kriegsman - 12-14-2009 If you look at the Tiger tanks in Kelly's heroes you will notice that the body is a mock up on top of what appears to be a T34 chassis. You know what has some decent armor in it is Cross of Iron. I think they show some T34/85's. Thanx! Hawk RE: Part I: Favourite Armoured Battle in a War Movie? - Crossroads - 12-14-2009 Cross of Iron is definitively one of my all time favourite war movies. Would love to see a modern Quentin Tarantino version of it :) Here's the battle scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-u24EjzD-Y Thanks Hawk 
RE: Part I: Favourite Armoured Battle in a War Movie? - Hawk Kriegsman - 12-14-2009 Yes indeed T34/85's. What a great scene. Don't know about a remake though. Maybe something different on the East Front by QT like another Stalingrad movie. Thanx! Hawk RE: Part I: Favourite Armoured Battle in a War Movie? - Crossroads - 12-14-2009 Well, come to think of it, I would love to see QT remake all my favourite war movies :smg: Absolutely nothing wrong with the original, though!

You are quite right, those are T-34s mocked up (and I think they did a really good job). If I remember correctly they'd been used in an east bloc film before they made Kelly's Heroes in Yugoslavia (if memory serves). And yes, Cross of Iron is good. Lots of T-34/85s tearing up a factory (actually a concrete manufacturing plant). The book is far better than the movie, and the original script (of which I have a copy) is better than what was finally shot. I have a copy of Iron Cross in there in my DVD collection right now. Classic. LR RE: Part I: Favourite Armoured Battle in a War Movie? - Crossroads - 12-14-2009 Found this one as well. Everything you need to know about "sticky bombs"...

RE: Part I: Favourite Armoured Battle in a War Movie? - Kool Kat - 12-16-2009 Crossroads Wrote:Scene of the day: Battle of the Bulge 1965 I really hate this film! :mad: IMO, -it is so historically inaccurate and distorts the real events to a point where it is unwatchable! At least one German general agrees... :smoke: Upon seeing the film in Munich, General Hasso von Manteuffel, the former German commander of the Fifth Panzer Army, told the press: "The content of the film is completely fictional and has hardly anything to do with the events of those days...It also presents a distortion of the facts and actual conditions under which the battle took place...The film is an insult not only to the American soldier who fought in the Ardennes, but also a scandal for all soldiers including those on the other side." So yes! I vote for a "do over" with this dud... or maybe it should be a "star" in the "never should have been filmed" category? :chin: |
