No billing in the trailer for Ponch??

@McGruff5150

Erik Estrada did this film before he became well-known as "Ponch" on TV. Another one of his earlier movies where he played a small supporting role was the blockbuster AIRPORT 1975.

@hill9868 I think that "Tora Tora Tora" is way better and far more accurate than "Pearl Harbor" with Ben Benaflack. Just my 2 cents.

[1906965181507]

I watched that movie in cinema, in Brčko...

That year, or the next one... When it was going on for the first time...

[rminister1971]

@ke4bss correct, especially as it was shot from both perspectives.

[disasterzone1974]

The 2nd movie after EARTHQUAKE (74) to be made using the SENSURROUND sound process.The sound effect (explosions etc) were incredible!You could feel it!This trailer is for the non-SENSURROUND version.

@ke4bss I agree with you! "Pearl Harbour" was nothing else than Commercial for the Military!

i like midway. but god damn it feels like combat footage the movie. i wish they used models or something instead of using so much combat footage it get so god damn annoying .

[ThreeSevenSpeedway]

Looks more like a Japanese victory if you ask me about the frequency of attacks. Besides that, I would never expect a Corsair, a Helldiver or a Hellcat at Midway.

Did they change the names of some of the key participants on the American side: the pilots, or did they just write fictitious alternative character? The stock footage from Tora Tora Tora was obvious even in the trailer. Is this worth seeing? I've seen documentaries on the actual events and the courage and committment on both sides is remarkable. Isn't it crazy that humans can't show the same qualities on a wider basis in peacetime, instead of in hellish situations.

tora tora tora was better.

[fidan2fast]

aren't some of these actual footages of the war?

[Perktube1]

@John6yt The pilot's determined to land it right, no matter how many movies he has to be in!
