Great film. - Sadly the DVD offered no subtitles, which makes it very difficult to understand all those scenes in the Russian sub under command of Captain Briannow (played by Rutger Hauer) in which the submarine sailors are fightiing to extinguish the fire that broke out and the nuclear reactor which threatens to undergo a melt-down, because in all these scenes they are wearing oxygen masks and are talking through those masks covering their faces and of course also their mouths, so the sounds are mufffled and their sentences are difficult to make out. Some English subtitles would have been nice. Nonetheless it's a great film about a true story about events which almost led to World War Three! - And the exteremination of the Eastern seaboard of the US. It happened in October 1986 shortly before the peace talks between Reagan and Gorbatchov in Reykjavik on Oct 11th. 1986. Had the fire on the Russian sub not been extinguished and had the reactor melt-down not been stoppend, then ca. 200 kilotons of nuclear bombs - one thousand times stronger than the Hiroshima bomb Aug. 1945 - would have exploded. That would have been the end of our world as we know it. - By the way, the film shows a lot of similarities to the famous film The Hunt for Red October, which had been made about 7 or 8 years earlier. Have fun watching. Dr.Moehrmann, New York City, USA, and Hamburg, Northern Germany.
The last bullet has hardcoded Dutch subtitles
TV movie of the Enola Gay and crew. I watched it back 1980. The DVD version was good for a DVD of that vintage.
Le visuel ne correspond pas mais il s'agit du bon produit. Je suis heureuse de petit trésor pour compléter ma collection de DVD de Cate Blanchett.
love the dvd overall, the picture lighting. resolution and definition is the only thing that's off
Great dvds
Acceptable quality for the time. Enjoyed the show. It would be good if there was a contents on the cover of each series as the episodes are not in order on the discs.
Exactly what I wanted- region 4 DVD most were region 2
Great to finally be able to find a copy of this movie. Excellent service that I would recommend to anyone.
Would prefer a thicker case, like you see with all DVD’s.
Very good movie plus it was fast delivery great pricing
Too long on shipping
The dvd's arrived in decent time. I was so excited to get them but when I went to play them they didn't work on my dvd player. I am looking into buying another dvd player in the hopes that they'll work. I was really disappointed.
I love this movie my mum got his movie on VHS so I wanted to get it on DVD
The DVD arrived in good time and met expectation
You have a wide range of interesting DVDs that I have been looking for and failed to find anywhere else
The movie was just as I remembered it. The only issue was with the first cd which would go blank every once in awhile though each time it was only for a couple of seconds so it didn't bother me that much. The second cd had no issues.
thousand plane raid, excellent snapshot of the war in the air(WWII)
The 1000 Plane Raid I especially like these period films about the war in the air. I thought this war film was in the same class as the Mathew Modine B-17 pic,’MEMPHIS BELLE’. Particularly, memorable was the segment, where the British & American pilots are resting in a debriefing room when the music on the radio is interrupted by a German propaganda speech. This is a historical fact, that, like the ‘TOkyo Rose’ radio chats that were meant to demoralize the U.S.soldiers(also U.S.naval forces) in the Pacific,’Lord HAW-HAW’ was a concerted effort by German intelligence to broadcast propaganda to hurt the American/allied air campaign of WWII. (Unbeknownst to the allies, the Germans had broken the allies ‘ultra’ code, allowing them priceless intelligence regarding B-17 bombing runs in Europe) . ALthough, I may be mistaken(‘ultra’ intercepts provided the Nazis only valuable intelligence information about 8th army tactical moves in the North African Campaign(1040-1943?)
Christopher George is not up to Steve McQueen but nevertheless an acceptable second.
The 1000 Plane Raid This is very much like “The War Lover” with Steve McQueen 10 years earlier in black-and-white, it is basically the same story, but that film was humanly so much more interesting. This is in colour, and although Christopher George is very much like Steve McQueen, almost like a twin character, he is grimmer, harder and more superficial – the McQueen character has an abyss of depth in its psychopathic possibilities, while Christopher George is only doing his job. Both died too young, by the way, Steve McQueen at 50 and Christopher George at 54.
What saves the film are the other characters, first of all Gary Marshal, who adds a very needful sense of humour and detachment to the grim show, while colonel Brandon (George) has no humour at all and never smiles. The case of the grounded pilot Palmer (J.D.Cannon) also adds some interest to the epic, while on the whole, like as if it was made for television, this is clearly less realistic than the McQueen feature, which offers so much more human insight into the lives of the bomber pilots in this dreadful war. Here it more amounts to aerobatics and showing off. McQueen makes that showing off pathological, while here it is superficial.
Nevertheless, it’s an interesting film, better than its reputation, awfully exciting and with splendid scenery of war pilot flights in the air and in action. The only disturbing thing was Laraine Stephens’ hair style, a cold blonde with too much make-up for that war and a coiffure belonging entirely to the 60s.
