One of the great unsung movies.
Setting the scene:
(Tora Tora Tora)
Then what if a super carrier went back in time? Would they stop it? Should they stop it?
The Final Count Down
USS Nimitz experiences a weird storm. Ends up in 1941 but they aren’t quite sure what is happening.
Some of the best F-14 scenes filmed (including Top Gun)
One of the greatest dog fights filmed in a movie because they used real zeros and F-14’s. No computer graphics. Legendary apparently. Oh and the scene where the F-14 appears to come close to the ocean is Navy legend. He went to 100ft and was “The best pilot in the Navy”. Where have we heard that before. The sound of the engines is a blend of tue jet engine and the pilots wife…
…screaming when she watched the footage of how close to the water he got.
and the rescue
The whole movie:
This movie totally captivated me as a kid. Getting it out at the local milk bar in Werribee.
What I found interesting years later is the Senator that gets shot actually at died in Jan 1941 in our timeline. However the above scene is set in Dec 1941. It’s why the amateur history buff, Commander Dick Owens is so shocked in the rescue scene. He knows he should already have died. This suggests time has already been altered and in hind sight they could have been free to end the entire Japanese fleet. Maybe.
