Sky Captain and the world of tommorrow

Just saw this movie and I must say it is quite spectacular. The P-40 sequences are far-fetched but definately fun to watch. (I'm pretty sure the amphibious/submersible features on this P-40 weren't a standard production feature

I would heartily suggest this movie but keep in mind logic and realism is somewhat out the window. But it is highly entertaining.

Yeap, save for that stupid Gwynneth who was such a PITA.

Gee...

But of course there was Angelina!!

Yes Polly was a PITA, but she looked like trailer trash next to Angelina <drool>

But the P-40 wasn't a P-40. It's got the nose and tail, but not the wings!

And the B-24Js have LB-30 engine nacelles!

The Royal Navy flying platforms are just too nice though...

Or was it the lady commanding it??

:lol:

B-24A perhaps. Or did they have the nose Turret? Haven't seen the flick yet, I'll probably wait for a rental, as bad CG such as in the trailers really annoys me.

Heh, I was waiting for someone to comment on the P-40. I'm pretty sure the submersability, the retracting propellors and the underwater propulsion system weren't stock either.

Heh, Angelina can make any movie better.

If I said B-24J, it's becayse they are Js... :wink:

But with the same rounded nacelles as the LB-30.

Who cares about those underwater-faring thingies.

:lol:
