    May be wrong, but didn't Montagu write the book the film was based on?

    Yep.

    Old film. In the Heat of the Night - Sidney Poitier & Rod Steiger.

    Searing film with on-screen chemistry between Poitier & Steiger that's just on another planet.

    4.5 Martin Luther King's out of 5 KKK Grand Wizards

    @MiketheSnow I've not watched any trailer, I don't cos they spoil so much nowadays. But the fact there were actors actually doing scenes under g in cockpit, unlike 1, is awesome. They built themselves up in differing aircraft, and did the shots with 6 in cockpit cameras, in between puking, and came down knackered and drenched in sweat. Tom cruise maybe a nut job, but he knows about doing your own stunts, and all the others had to follow his lead.

    There's no movie that has anywhere near portrayed in cockpit action adequately, so I'm looking forward to just seeing that.

    Always funny how after people get a backseat trip, like engineers and air traffic controllers (was most often in Falklands, 2 every Friday), how fucked they were on landing, and that was with very limited maneuver allowed. Literally had to lift a few out at the end.

    Nope that was utterly laughable, almost as unrealistic as some soldiers not saying a word to each other for hours despite what they went through. Dunkirk was art house, I reckon despite all the hoorah bullshit top gun 2 will almost certainly have, it will not have to try too hard to be more realistic then Dunkirk. Was cool to see real planes tho

    @NTA There was a time when Portman in cosplay would have got me excited. I think that time has passed.

    Actually, I'll think a bit more about that

    Having never been involved in a dogfight in any kind of plane whatsoever I’m certainly no expert……but I thought that part of the movie was really well done.

    I thought I was alone on here thinking that Dunkirk was overly theatrical and just a bit hammy until @Machpants outed himself. It was watchable for me but nowhere near the masterpiece it’s been held up to be.

    It all took far too long, when he's on the tail of the 109, it is just waffting back and forth. In a dogfight you're pulling you max G, if you don't the enemy will and will stuff you. In addition, you don;t reverse your turn often (specific reasons to do so) otherwise you're just turning in front of the enemy - bye bye. It was all very meh. And don't get me started on how long the Spit with a dead engine stayed airborne without losing height, fuck he could've landed back in Kent! That was right up there with 'behind enemy lines' dodging the SAM awful and unrealistic
