  • @8bitmagic AMEN TO THAT.

  • just came back from this movie -not so good , almost boring - good actors floundering in a weak script.

    When they get in the cockpit then the movie rocks , too bad there were so few.

    I'm gonna watch the old HBO version -very watchable.

  • @DrumBlitzKrieg They should've because it was AMAZING

  • @gjohnsoningary I hope Steven Spielberg gets a clue, there's alot of damage done to my generation from the "Color Purple". That was a Black Male image killer ...Precious, Training day, ...... Let's just hope Spielberg takes "Saving Private Ryan and RedTails" to create "The 761st Black Panthers" in a movie. I'd even settle for the history channel!

  • @nexusvision My father served in the 761st Tank Battalion. They shelved a movie project about them 8 years ago! Hollywood didn't want this told nor about the 761st. Spike Lee's Miracle At St Anna wasn't even distrubuted right. He sued the French company that was supposed to distrubute it internationally.

  • @DrumBlitzKrieg You know thats not true at all, right? When he pitched this movie, no one wanted to fund it because, you know, it was fucking horrible. Star Wars flopped, as well - why the shit would you give him cash?

    But they did. The movie was fully funded, and he STILL made a sack of shit. I went to the theatre hoping for an excellent movie, and instead I was rewarded with this. My entire theatre was laughing - over 90% of it african american.

  • This was one of the greatest movies ever!

  • dear lemonjellies and all the other nitwits and racists who have commented with racist overtones and undertones on this movie... we thank you... you give us opportunity to vigorously Praise the Lord... because He has granted that we are NOT Like you.

  • @swimmingsong Wow, I didn't know obama had a channel on Youtube. Well said sir. hahaha! :P

  • @lemonjellies Funny how since obama is President how many projects promoting or starring white people. Look up Racist in the dictionary--you'll find your picture.
