Ah those oh so deadly Me-108 Taifuns...the scourge of the RAF just like those Spanish M-48 Pattons...oops, I mean King Tigers were of the US Army in many a 60s film.
The prolific use of ketchupm at 7.51 Battle of Britain Movie 6. Great. Analogue over digital anytime. Just wait until your children laugh at your ipod, video, facebook page, then you will understand.
What the hell is so bad about that? There's much worse, including supposedly wonderful modern digital effects - which look like what they are - jumped up video games! (Avatar?! Jurassic park? King King? - unbelievable and stupid dinosaur chase scenes). Far more important things are the quality of the script, dialogue, acting, plot, use (or moronic overuse) of music. As an intelligent movie viewer, you use a thing called 'imagination' to suspend reality if the effects are a bit dated.
I dunno, the site of the USS Arizona inflating like a balloon before it blew up in Pearl Harbor was pretty terrible special effects and they probably had 500 times the budget this movie did.
@propfan2k Hey, and I appreciate it! For those who don't know what we're talking about, it's a war movie with even worse airplane effects than this. I was looking for the title. Interesting that my description of the appalling toy plane action (posted 2 years and one account name ago) was enough for Propfan to identify it!
I think most filmmakers will give you the best SFX their budget will allow. If there's no money for more elaborate effects or to re-shoot a mediocre one, and it gets the point across, they would just go with it. It's a compromise between "state of the art" and "how much do we want to spend on this?"
Are u kidding these are the best special effects i have seen in my life i was forcefully mind fucked by this video, kids these days don't know visual effects if it bent you over a table and had its way ^^
Show some respect for the classics! They didnt have any of this cgi crap back then! all they had were brains and damn good artists! Not to mention amazing special effects artists and sound producers!
well it was bad but not the worst. try flying tigers with john wayne. Though this was slightly subpar for the day. Better was the battle of britian it had better effects with its models i can still tell the stukas are models but they still look good to me.
Nah, that was a peach. Watch John Waynes "Flying Tigers". Now THATS some bad effects. The inside of the P-40 has enough room for a love seat and when the Japanese plane crashes only one wing breakes off and it bounces then the fire looks like the fire on the wick of a zippo, FUUUuuunny ;)
This was a great movie I love when I was a child, and someone my dad knew worked on the SFX on not just this movie, but he went on to work on movies like ALIENS, THE MEDUSA TOUCH and also ZEPPELIN.
Effects were as good as could be attained in those days. I used to like that they always crashed behind a hill tho. :-). A lot of the newer generations seem to think that everything was automatically digitally enhanced or done on a computer.
About Windtalkers. As a retired artillery officer, I can assure you that there isn't much of a fire ball emitted from an arty round. There is a quick flash which is followed usually be so much dust and smoke that you can;t see anything else. But then, I've only seen a couple of thousand arty rounds explode.
What about Windtalkers? That was sad to me example of FX. Arty rounds with larger fireballs coming from gasoline. You would think they could get some footage from Fox News of real explosions.
What is wrong with our generation ( im 16) where the people dont respect anything old? if its old it means its better then that piece of trash justin beiber kid
@rebelsoldier121 I've never seen such a bullshit logic. I don't respect Justin Bieber. I don't respect what was done during the Civil War. I don't respect Napoleon Bonaparte. I don't respect K$sha. I respect all that deserves respect, not because it's old and somehow being old gives you merit. My grandma is old but I disagree with her on a few things, does it automatically make her right and me wrong because she's 'old'?
@Wittmann73 this. while there are rubbish special effects today, there were also terrible ones from ye-olde-times. This is why we don't watch the old bond movies, the fighting is even worse than dr who :P
Why can't you just enjoy it for what it is? Think of all the men who died in the actual battles to give a directors years later something to make a movie about. My hats off to them !
The original Flash Gordon serial mini-movies had terrible production values. Black & white film, ham acting, and really - REALLY - crude SFX. Even as a little kid I objected to the rocket exhaust that went straight up out of the nozzle. I can imagine the film crew setting fire to an oily rag, stuffing it into the rocket, and yelling "Action" while a puppeteer swung it around a paper mache moonscape.
The ME-108 Taifun (which the two guys were flying) IS NOT A COMBAT AIRCRAFT! It was a trainer, and general purpose aircraft that could not possibly dogfight due to its low stress and low power,oh well they were so niave back then when this supposedly happened
There were a string of really bad WW2 movies being made in the 60s in the UK. Most of them due to lack of a budget so it all went to the SFX... "633 Suadron", "Mosquito Squadron" and of course "The Battle Of Britain"
To see what a realistic warmovie looks like with decent special effects, please watch "Battle of the River Plate (1956)." One the few things that don't look very convincing are the "near misses" seen from the bridge. But for the rest it's a great warmovie.
These effects aren't so bad. I seem to remember the original Dambusters winning an oscar for its special effects and they're pretty rubbish by today's standards.
I remember this movie which is 633 squardon. It was a big hit and full house for 3 months in Hoover theatre, causeway bay, Hong Kong. At that time TV is not that popular,personal computer was not existed ,radio listening and movie watching were main stream popular entertainment.It was the 60's . I was a teenage life was a lot simple then.
I am longing to see the new Dambuster movie, with the now computer tec, this should be a look realistic film.
@kwokwing This isn't '633 Squadron' but a movie made ten years later called 'Mosquito Squadron' - but it's an easy mistake to make: 'Mosquito Squadron' lifted most of their effects footage from '633 Squadron'!
They're remaking the Dambusters, let's hope they remake 633 Squadron (keeping the same music of course)...but I guess if Hollywood have anything to do with it they will twist history
No, 'Pearl Harbor' had the worst special effects in a WWII movie...and the worst acting, story, dialogue, direction, etc. Basically, it's the worst WWII movie ever. No, scratch that, its the worst war movie ever.
Spoiled kids these days. You know... years ago this type of special effects looked just as good for us as the cgi does now. And they where good and we liked it.
Don't bash on this stuff, becourse there is enough modern cgi stuff that looks even worse, where developers did not even do proper research etc.
These guys here made atleast a damn good try, and i like the result!
@XCougar85X Agreed. Additionally the older films actually had a plot which progressed unlike today where films are "Successful Franchise (N+1)" or "Ancient Formula, New Character" or those where the plot is an excuse for cramming as many special effects and gimmicks as possible - the latest one being 3D
the pilot is ily kuriakin from the man from uncle or that old cunt from navy csi and charlses bronson shagged his mrs jill ireland who died of cancerBOO
If you think you`re better at special-fx, especially with a low budget strangling your efforts in producing a high quality vehiclecombat with just 30 feet of nylon-cord and a bunch of plastic models and firecrackers, then go for it pal ^^ no offense pal, but I think they`ve done quite well with their setup ;)
@ralphyetmore actually, yes that was the config in the mossie. All the mosquitoes used in this movie were actually bomber versions that had the glass nose painted over to make them appear as fighter bombers. Not a bad movie by old standards, at least you get to see and hear the merlins of the mosquitoes. The special effects were laughable but hey, wadda ya want?
ok.. think that was pretty good for and old movie... there are movies that comes out now that have 100 times worse special effects then this.. just saying :)
@alphatotheomega7 Thats because the footage in the Battle of Britain is the real deal. The air combat seens featuring actual aricraft where filmed from a modified b25 bomber. If you buy the Battle of Britain DVD, there is a complementary documentary DVD included which details how they did it and the effort that was involved in acquiring the aircraft to film the movie
I think there's a worse shot in 'Battle of Britain' where a crippled Heinkel crashes into Victoria Station. It really does look like an Airfix model landing on some cut out cereal packets. Strange for such a high-budget, prestige film.
Quite competent...until the crash shot. There's no excuse for that shadow in any professional film of any era. Wire work in front of a backdrop is one of the oldest FX techniques, long since mastered. There really are only three big technical rules:
(1) Make the model big enough that the smoke looks real.
(2) Pull back far enough that you don't see the wires guiding the model, and
(3) LIGHT THE DAMNED THING AT SUCH AN ANGLE THAT THERE'S NO SHADOW CAST ON THE BACKDROP.
@thatartchannel Indeed... We demand the best from the film industry... just look at the amount of money spent on effects in the new Transformers film.
Ha ha ha, corny as hell, but you gotta love it

Not a bad movie by old standards, at least you get to see and hear the merlins of the mosquitoes. The special effects were laughable but hey, wadda ya want?

For the time period... they aren't that bad. You just have to take it for what it is worth.

You can't say this was bad because of the era, because "Battle of Britain came out at the same time and had way better effects.
alphatotheomega7 6 months ago 2
@alphatotheomega7 Thats because the footage in the Battle of Britain is the real deal. The air combat seens featuring actual aricraft where filmed from a modified b25 bomber. If you buy the Battle of Britain DVD, there is a complementary documentary DVD included which details how they did it and the effort that was involved in acquiring the aircraft to film the movie

@makka9710 Oh wow. I had no idea. When I was a kid watching the movie I was too caught up in the action to think how they made it.

I think there's a worse shot in 'Battle of Britain' where a crippled Heinkel crashes into Victoria Station. It really does look like an Airfix model landing on some cut out cereal packets. Strange for such a high-budget, prestige film.

Actually, I’ve seen worse in movies made during the war.

Quite competent...until the crash shot. There's no excuse for that shadow in any professional film of any era. Wire work in front of a backdrop is one of the oldest FX techniques, long since mastered. There really are only three big technical rules:
(1) Make the model big enough that the smoke looks real.
(2) Pull back far enough that you don't see the wires guiding the model, and
(3) LIGHT THE DAMNED THING AT SUCH AN ANGLE THAT THERE'S NO SHADOW CAST ON THE BACKDROP.
Easy.

@thatartchannel Indeed... We demand the best from the film industry... just look at the amount of money spent on effects in the new Transformers film.

That wasn't bad at all, considering the date it was made and still puts Michael Bay's Transformers to shame.
