MvR and Brown

[ww1 ace]

What do you think about this movie?I did like it,but does not show the realisticness in the movie.Arthur Brown flew a Sopwith Camel,not an SE5a.Also they show the guns were fired by levers which actually was used to unjam the guns.

Absolute trash from start to finish !!!!!!!!

I thought "Mrs Brown", the 1996 film about Queen Victoria and her Gillie, John Brown, was infinitely superior, and that's not saying much!

[Vin]

Absolute tripe. Not only the worst film about WW 1 aviation but arguably the worst film ever made. Absolutely no attention to detail, historical facts all wrong and it comes up with the wrong conclusion. Frankly, anyone who even mentions the film in a thread should be banned. I wouldn’t watch it if you paid me. True to my convictions, I’ve never seen it.

[MikeW]

Vin,

so who did shoot Queen Victoria? Sgt Popkin? :D


Mike

[Vin]

Mike, I’ll leave Cedric and Manfred alone on this one ‘lest someone introduces Twycross. Manfred’s otherwise unforgivable jibe “holes in your carpet” to Twycross was completely understandable under the circumstances, he, Manfred, having just been shot in the back by some unknown digger as he was trying to alight from the triplane with the clear intent of preserving the back of his seat from a bullet hole. If I am thinking of the same film as yours, Billy Connolly’s performance demonstrated that the imperative of comedians to play serious roles should be left unsatisfied.

So I should be banned for posting a stupid,retarded,dumb,thread?

So I should be banned for posting a stupid,retarded,dumb,thread?Banning is a start only. Boiling oil, hot coals, Siberia, rock breaking and the stocks spring to mind but the ban should include being required to watch the film – something I might one day get ‘round to doing after I have finished bagging it. Don’t take my comments in this thread to date seriously, WW 1 ace.

puphhh,I disapeared.I live in a place where no one sahall find me!MY BRAIN!

[Richard_Schrader]

As I recall there was a knockout blond/triplane scene. I can't remember much more about the movie. :D

This outstandingly bad flick (look up "egregious" in the dictionary) has been cussed and dissed a couple times previously. IIRC, it began with a similar query about Aces High, which is plenty bad but not quite in the class of vR&B. Dunno if a search would turn up the previous threads, but that's sometimes worth a try when proposing a subject on a forum new to the inquirer.

[Red Baroness]

Hmm, and I wanted to see it. Guess I had better not if I want to keep my eyes in my head and my hand away from the Browning 1911.

*laughs*

Yeh, and Blue Max ain't exactly what one would call accurate either...

I just LURVE the "wind in the hair lookit me pretty boy" Manfred.... Not.

heheh.

I think WWI Ace should be made to clean my plane, after I landed rough in that manure pile... but then again, he DOES have a very attractive icon. *flirts with Boelcke*

heh.

ww1 ace; Don't pack your gear just yet...MikeW and Vin are not to be trysted (yes trysted) in areas where they can thump on a neophyte. While their assessment of the previously mention movie is pretty much spot on, the lord high imperious webmaster and all seeing eye Scott, has yet to ban them for their antics...though in Vin's case there is some debate. The point being if you give them an inch they'll sell your pants. If their allowed here then you have miles to go in violating de decorum of da forum before your sent on the long walk into the icy regions of Hoth.

Barrett; wasn't the Aces Highflick based on the diary of Mad Major Ginger? You know the bloke from the narratives here at the "drome."

Red Baroness; your Jasta 11 Hangar won't open. :rolleyes:

[Roundel]

Believe it or not, Aces High was a remake of the famous 1920's play Journeys End, which became one of the first talkies.

As for Von Richthofen and Brown, I saw a few minutes of it years ago on TV and was unimpressed. I looked it up in the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) and found out that that's a kind description. Maybe it'll be screened at the next Dawn Patrol as an unintentional comedy a la Mystery Science Theater 3000.

[Barrett]

Hi Stephen: Salute! You're deucedly clever in ferreting out the connection between Aces High and Our Own Ginger's "Mad Major" forum novel. The difference, of course, is that Ginger's work is based on fact while AH is based on...ahem...something else! ;)

[Michael_Dailey]

Stephen,

Round these parts folks get in serious trouble for trying to open young ladies hangars in public

regards,

MDD

[StephenLawson]

If she didn't want her hangar opened then she should not advertise... ;)

Are you sure you're not confusing it with "The Blue Max??"
;)

[Vin]

Why doesn't matter but I watched Terminator 4 and Spiderman 2 in succession last night. WW 1 Aviation relevance ? Bad as they were, neither is as bad as B -v- vR. I must watch it some time.

[StephenLawson]

Are you sure you're not confusing it with "The Blue Max??" ;)

No, he's right (I have a copy of the movie he says embarassedly.) :blush: Fokker took MvR into a hangar and introduced him to the sliver Triplane and the beauteous blonde. Uuhhh "sales person" in the silk chamios. There was this segment where you were hearing Fokker describe uhh the triplane as '...just your (MvR's) meat..." Hhhhmmmm, well Fokker left and well...this is a family friendly site, so....nuff said.
