I don’t like sweeping if the wings to closed position. One scene later they are extended again, which would make sense in order to not overshoot the zero’s all the time. Nevertheless it is a tat far fatched.

That was easy ......Now let them go against MIGs ......

This is as stupid as Super man vs the sexy psychedelic giant spider women from the planet Kuskamonga. :D I bet some fanatic jar heads masturbate to this movie. Kirk Douglas is such an amazing actor!

Long before Top Gun , this movie belong to F-14 Tomcat and VF 84 “jolly Rogers” squadron

F 14 the best ❤

Yoshi Maverick's Zero vs 4th Gen F14

That was no yacht

The superman music ruins it.

I just watched this on Prime. I’ve probably seen this thing a dozen times and every time, I say it again! “No matter what era you’re in, if you wind up with Katharine Ross for the rest of your life, you’re one lucky bastard!” Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!!❤❤❤😂😂😂

One of my fav movies as a kid.

This was the ultimate recruiting film for the Navy; before TopGun🇺🇸

I have always wondered why the Captain did not stop the Zero's earlier - the Zero pilots did destroy and kill an innocent I assume American while he did nothing.

1544 mph now thats fast and my guess a Japanese zero would be similar to a Spitfire with it's single prop at around 400 mph. So no contest really. Probably better fuel range though. My granddad worked at Supermarine worked in the drawing office, working to a thousandth of an inch on the Spitfire and the Rolls Royce merlin engine. "He was a wizard " Quote from the movie First of a Few. Always gives me goosebumps when those Tomcats do the flypast over the yacht. Same with the Spitfire.

제로센을 사이드와인더로 때리는건 선 쎄게 넘었네 고딩 일진 훈계한다고 타이슨이 핵주먹으로 풀펀치 날린 꼴

Wrong aspect ratio. duh!

I still have this movie in DVD! 😂

First Japanese to know they are going to lose the war.

Bit funny how Sebastian’s bodyguard is the office manager in season 1 when Ricky and Julian steal the furniture

Typische Amikacke, nur wenn sie überlegen sind, können sie auftrumpfen!

eagle one he is guilty of murder because he did not provide support in time.

Say what you want.... But, an F-15 has never been in a WWII film! The F-14, will live on, long after her contemporaries are all but gone, die to this scene alone.

5:47 Apparently the Pilot's wife's terrified scream is part of the sound effect. She watched the footage and screamed as she watched the place dive towards the ocean.

good movie

The F-14 were late. Cost a life.

imagine the look on the zero pilots faces on seeing the modern fighter jets !

I remember watching this movie when it first came out in 1981 I was in Navy A School and saw it in downtown San Diego. The theater was full of Sailors and Marines.

Right after The zeros strafe their friend in the water, that initially quiet but gradually louder roar of the incoming Cats....😊😊😊😊

I hate to admit it, but a small part of me was pulling for the Zeros to put a few marks on a Tomcat. Realistically, a fully prepared AT-6 pilot with guns and 5" Zuni rockets could likely bring down a Tomcat...maybe. Not an F-8 Crusader, though.

Was this propaganda?

Did the Tomcats get credit for the kills ?

Absolutely one of my favorite Navy movies. A spectacular "what-if" scenario. I watched this movie when it was released while I was in the Navy at NTTC Meridian, MS

Im pretty sure them F14s would be playing with stall speed trying to get behind them zeros

The zero's going up against those tomcat's would be like a kia spectra going up against a hellcat.

I love this film. Not just for its star power but it's a great story.

日本人は無抵抗な人達を絶対殺さない！まさに洗脳技術！私は中学の頃映画館で見たが「何てことない」今になって懐かしさのあまり４KUDなんて買ってしまう始末…反省！！！ 　さらに重すぎるF14トムキャットは空戦で零式艦上戦闘機21型にはほぼ勝てない！

A lot of the emotional response to this scene was leaving the doldrums of the Carter Presidency. Amnesty to draft dodgers in Canada was one of his first acts. Failure of the rescue of hostages in Iran and his spineless handling of the entire situation. This scene affirmed a sense of pride in the abilities of the US military.

This had to be fun making this sequence….living a dream

F-14 Pilot: Eagle Control, this is Alert 1. They just strafed the hell out of that yacht! - Why would they attack a yacht? -Their job would be to destroy anything with a radio that could warn Pearl Harbor. -Providing you and Mr. Einstein are correct. Dick, where would the Japanese fleet be at this time on December 6th, 1941? -Well, sir, they’d be off the scope but an educated guess would be around about here. Excuse me. They’d have to be here, up around the northwest sector. - Let’s get this settled once and for all. Have the E-2 check it out. I wanna see if the Japanese task force is out there. - Yes, sir.

It's called thumping.

Charles Durning was a WWII hero. He wouldn’t have freaked out.

A great what if movie!

there is natlee woods rapist.kirk douglas

3:58...dope scene..tomcats going hunting

At 4:12 when the F-14 zoom past the Zero's and it looks like fancy flying of the Zero's that was nearly a disaster because the Zero's got hit by the jet wash from the F14's and nearly wrecked.

0:06 Christmas morning be like

A very good underrated sci-fi movie.

This is when the fleet aircraft had that gorgeous gull gray and white paint scheme,with full color insignia

I flew tanker support in a KA-6D from VA-35(Black Panthers) for this movie. My one and only Hollywood moment!

Best footage of any warplane and the most beautiful and badass plane.

Good luck with this Please enjoy your stay
