Is this the one where Tom Cruise flies B17s from Chicago against the dams in the Loire valley and saves the world from the commies?

No, this is the one where the Europeans make the movie themselves so they can quit whining about how and who is in them,
and win the War without the U.S.

I thought the original sucked....too much empasis on the bouncing bomb and not enough emphasis on the crews that delivered it.

Plus Hitler was a loser anywaywho couldnt win and breaking those dams killed millions of innocent wowen and children....evil allies......

They used a lot of footage of this movie in  "The Wall".

"Do you have any idea how much water it takes the Germans to make a ton of steel?" "Not in the least."

Good luck with finding your sense of humour, I'm sure it's out there somewhere.

Did you know that when one of those dams was built (in the 30's) they flooded 3 villages.
They appeared when the Dams were breached, and then no later than approx year 2000 when dry weather lead to low waterlevels in the lagoon.
Some people took a walk in those old streets....

LOL! Apparently whenever this film is shown on TV these days, they bleep out the N word. Damn, I had the original DVD until recently. To be honest I can't recall if the N word was left in or not. Chances are that it was, and because I was born before 1960 I just didn't notice it.

getting a 10,000lb bomb to bounce 500 feet on water is pretty impressive... ;)

I like this picture...shows the top of the Dam breached...when the bombs were designed to detonate at the bottom.
