I'd go easy on the "great" until it comes out. It is Lucas afterall, he didn't even direct the best Star Wars movie. That being said are you guys whining about a WW2 aviation movie getting too much attention in the Aces High forum? Come on.

Ain't that the truth. Lucas is a BRILLIANT idea man, but he personally sucks at execution. He needs to learn how to come up with the ideas, but then step back and let people who know what they're doing actually MAKE the thing. That's why Empire was the best in the series. He had his input, but he ultimately let his production team actually do their jobs without meddling in it (Doug Chiang once tried to tell Lucas that the proposed design for the Naboo fighters in Episode I wouldn't work--they really don't, either. It's literally physically impossible for Artoo to actually fit in one without resorting to Hammerspace--but George told him to STFU and do the design his way. Then again, when Spielberg did Jaws, Peter Benchley--y'know, the guy who actually WROTE THE DAMN BOOK--told him his revised ending with the shark blowing up was ridiculous, but Spielberg told him to STFU because he wanted to do it his way. So it's not like George has a monopoly on this behavior).
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Spielberg's movie was a lot better than Benchley's book, despite the awzum blowzup shark at the end.

IIRC, Quint harpooned it before he died.

IIRC it gets within a few feet of a helpless Brody and then expires. Not with a bang, but with a whimper, so to speak.

I think the scientist dies too, though in the book he's such a repugnant little gobshite I no longer cared very much what happened to him.

Gobtoejame is in fact the correct terminology.

There's a part in the trailer where it shows a Pony taking to the vertical, pulling hard into an almost stall then flipping its nose around for a shot landing hits on a 109. Pretty cool affects.

That sounds a lot like what Bud Anderson did to a 109 in his 'Old Crow' P-51D
..of course his move was a rope instead of a timed vertical engagement
(like I useda do in my Zeke against boom an zoomers way back in DOS AW)
.. principles are sound tho,
..if a guy is at the edge of compressibility in his diving engagement
..he cannot pull up harder (either the plane wont or he will black out),
.. timing is everything.

When it works it is a beautiful thing ..ideally a canopy shot from dead above as the bandit passes under you.
Takes a bit of practice and knowing the bandits capabilities.
ie: tuff to pull off against a Mustang because even at 400ias they can put guns on you while a spit or p-38 are just about ballistic, they cannot deviate from a ballistic arc much due to compressibility.

Yeah Hooper gets pulled out of the shark cage and chomped in the book.

I think Quint gets tangled in a harpoon line, pulled under and drowned, definitely doesn't slide down the deck into the sharks waiting mouth like in the movie.
