The Tomcats wouldn't even need to shoot at the Zeros. Just blow by them at supersonic velocity, and the shockwave would probably tear the Zeros apart.
Lol, this is typical America, patting themselves on the backs for whooping the asses of a bunch of people who never stood a chance. Britain facing all of Europe under Napoleon or Hitler completely alone while expanding their empire at the same time? Pfft, tea drinking pussies.
Just think. If a stable portal was opened the military could fight the war with raptors,F-14s, stealth fighters, newer weapons and nukes. The war would be over in a month. just one problem. paradoxes
@7318ify All depends on reality. In theory ever out come is played out in different realities, you may go left but in another reality you go right. Suppose you did manage to go back in time and change an event. Theoretically you would create a new alternate reality where the divergence point would be the exact moment you crossed threw, so it would be reality and time travel all in one. Also, replace the Raptor with the F-35 lightning.
They should remake this movie it's such a good idea and a great topic of debate. What if, what if you had the ability to stop an event would you do it and thus change history?
@mavrick316 I think if one were to go back in time and change it, they couldn't go back to their original time because they created a new line of history.
I love this movie. But its made even more funny - this scene - after finding out that the Zeros were maxing out their engines all the way to the firewall, and yet the F-14s were almost stalling due to lack of speed the entire fight.
I thought it was rather interesting that the writers thought that it would be a good idea for one of tha Japanese pilots to try to engage the Tomcats...bravado, big mistake but a fair try. Lined him up nicely, except that the F-14 was too fast for him to get him with guns.
At the beginning of the video, the 14s were close enough to see the people in the water, yet it took how many seconds for the 'Cats to intercept the Mitsis?
The airframes are too old and the planes have always had technical and maintinence problems(especialy the A's engines). I think that most of the surivors have been scrapped. New built F-14D's would be nice though.
They wouldn't have had much luck against surface ships.REALLY?It may did little about anti-surface for Tomcat in such configuration.Then,How about Corsairs?How about Intruders?
And how about those MUSHROOMS which storaged on the bottom deck of every USN Carriers?
F-14s had little to no anti-surface capability, particularly back when this movie was made. So they certainly could've wreaked havoc on the Imperial Japanese Navy's air units, but they wouldn't have had much luck against surface ships.
All time favoriite scene!!! VF-84 Jolly Rogers first to flame Mohmars finest go back in time to light up Tojo's best! Awesome DOD co-op in this production. I say again...splash the Zero's!!!
i think its pretty piss weak, whats with the crew on the carrier, 2 zeros are not gonna pose even the slightest threat to the carrier between the F-14's and the Phalanx anti-air defence a carrier is armed with, i realise its just a movie and therefore doesn't have to be real but give people some credit
How is it that, even taking into the fact they went back in time, this movie is more realistic than Top Gun?
