Hi all,
ORIGINAL: Juggalo
Amazing pictures....
Wish some Hollywood big-shot producer with a couple hundred-million to spare could see these shots....there's an excellent script for a movie just sitting and waiting in every book written about Leyte Gulf.
Can you imagine seeing a beautifully rendered CGI'd Zuikaku rolling over in it's final death throes on the big screen with the crew clinging onto anything to stay upright, screaming "BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI!" until the ocean silences them all....

Well.. the Japanese already made the "Otoko-tachi no Yamato" in 2005 and you can get it on DVD [:)]!

BTW, for that movie they build quite a big 1:1 section of Yamato!
Leo "Apollo11"
P.S.
We discussed that movie here before few times... [8D]

The captains/admirals had a penchant for going down with the ship but seems to me they generally allowed that the sailors should be allowed to abandon ship. On the other hand their Army compatriots had no problem ordering obviously futile Banzai Charges so maybe you're right.
The Navy commanders had no problem either i.e. Kamikaze squadrons and Banzai bayonet charges by their SNLF units.
And by the way, everyone I know who has seen that Yamato movie says its the Japanese equivalent of Pearl Harbor.

Only if they do a better job than they did of Oklahoma turning over. In that movie (Pearl harbor) she looked like she was on a rotissary spit slowly turning. Awful.

Saw a documentry on how they did the Oklahoma for the movie (maybe on the CD). It was on a rotissary spit slowly turning.

It's still a mystery to me why people continue to treat The Movie That Shall Not Be Named as a war film and judge it as such.
IT'S NOT A WAR FILM!!!

I realize this is a very old thread, but I just ran across it and had to comment.
Have any of you all heard of the HMS Birkenhead?
