Red Baron Movie 2008
Permalink   


Actually just watched The Red Baron (2008) the historical accuracy if you can call it that was appalling, the continuity wasnt much better... In one scene Hawker flys an SE5(should have been a DH2) that turns into a  Sopwith Camel and then into an RE8 all within a few secounds.... the few combat sequences and interesting sets dont make up for the poor script which seems more a series of disconnected scenes then any coherrent plot....

Good job I waited till it was Cheap....


Cheersconfuse

Lanoe Hawker wasn't a fat bloke with a goatee beard either!

The idea that 1) Brown wore sunglasses in flight and 2) the German pilots didn't have the need to wear their goggles over their eyes until about to go into a dogfight is ridiculous too
