Depending on the variant, the Me-109 may also have either a third MG 151/20 or a 30mm MK 108 Motorkanone firing through the propeller hub. There's no way to tell with what we have right now, however. The Me-262 on the poster would also have four MK 108s in the nose. --Funkychinaman 09:43, 6 January 2012 (CST)

B-17G

I think these have 12 guns rather than 13 as other shots from the trailer show there is no radio room gun. Also, does anyone know if it is the case that as these B-17s have staggered and enclosed waist possitions that means they should have the "Cheyenne" tail gun rather than the original "Stinger" tail that is on these planes? --commando552 19:24, 6 January 2012 (CST)

I thought the Cheyanne tail and the staggered waist guns were standard on all G's. --Funkychinaman 19:28, 6 January 2012 (CST)
I believe the new tail gun and the staggered waist positions were only introduced on G's made after April 1944. Either way, as the planes in this seem to have staggered waist guns (there is an interior shot of a burning B-17 in the trailer where you can see this) I'm fairly sure the tail position is worng. --commando552 20:12, 6 January 2012 (CST)

Did I spy Han Solo's pistol?

I just saw the movie, and there is a point where there is a soldier, I already can't remember, and he shows of his pistol...something something devastator, or what have you. Before he said that, I thought it was a C96, but on a closer shot, it was done up with a lot of stuff, like Han Solo's C96, has anyone else seen this?

No, that was probly "Ray Gun"'s Buck Rodgers X-38 blaster pistol. I saw an M1919 when the troops land. --Mandolin 19:30, 29 January 2012 (CST)

Amusing Media Billing

I think it's funny how the media seem to be describing this as the first movie depicting this unit, apparently having completely forgotten about The Tuskegee Airmen, which starred at least one of the actors who's in this film. Orca1 9904 20:48, 29 January 2012 (CST)

Well, the 1995 film was HBO, IIRC, so this is the first Hollywood version.--Mandolin 22:35, 29 January 2012 (CST)

The B-17G has either 12 or 13 M2s. (Some later B-17G variants removed the M2 in the radio room.)

  • These look like fake guns assembled on real carriages and stripped-down pivots; you can see one's rusty as hell and the other has a ton of lubricant on it, which I wouldn't think you'd get if you'd just made the things for the production. Evil Tim (talk) 04:06, 31 January 2013 (EST)
Whew, because I've been driving myself crazy trying to find this thing. --Funkychinaman (talk) 08:16, 31 January 2013 (EST)
Looking at the one in the foreground in pic 2, it looks like it's partially real, probably some old broken 3.7cm FlaK 43. From the lugs and such on the bottom it looks like it's not all there, and it should be mounted on the left of the two loops rather than in the middle. Barrels look fake, and I think they're on carriages designed for 40mm Bofors guns. Evil Tim (talk) 16:22, 4 February 2013 (EST)

Unknown AA gun 2

The German cruiser, which is referred to a destroyer in the film, defends itself with unknown AA guns. Maybe a 3.7 cm SK C/30?

The ship itself. The armament and shape of the hull and superstructure would suggest that it's a cruiser.
In trying to ID the first AA gun, I think I found the second. PLDvK vzor 53? --Funkychinaman (talk) 19:15, 30 January 2013 (EST)

Location is not produced!

These is still confusion in filming location with a share of the production! The film was shot at various locations in Croatia and the Czech Republic, but only and exclusively the produced of the American Film Companies 20 Centhury Fox and Lucasfilm!--Pandolfini (talk) 02:33, 29 May 2013 (EDT) - [[1]]

Does the "CZ" following Partnership Pictures stand for something else then? Maybe you can write them and ask. Or call them maybe? +420, that's the country code for the US, right? --Funkychinaman (talk) 02:41, 29 May 2013 (EDT)
You've obviously seen the IMDB link that lists a Czech production company along with Lucasfilm. If I was just going by filming location, I'd have included the UK and Croatia as well, but obviously, I didn't. --Funkychinaman (talk) 02:48, 29 May 2013 (EDT) Of course at a marginalities involved also other companies like Germans company Pixomodo or Czech Barrandov, but was charged as an external output. Country is ONLY - USA! [[2]] . If the film we produce, there is always some Czech filmmakers and actors. The company Partnership Pictures only provides rental equipment on set, it is not a film production.--Pandolfini (talk) 02:52, 29 May 2013 (EDT)

CZECH MOVIE DATABASE!!! - [[3]]


všechny plakáty (4) Red Tails

Wikipedia - [4]] - Red Tails is a 2012 American war film produced by Lucasfilm and released by 20th Century Fox.[N 1]

Next Czech movie database - [[5]]

Žánr: akční / dobrodružný / drama / historický / válečný Země:Spojené státy americké (engl.: Land - United States od America)

We go by what IMDb says. (Besides, CSFD and FDB can't even agree on what year the film was released.) Pixomodo is listed as a SFX company and Barrandov built the sets and supplied costumes. Partnership is listed as one of the production companies. If you look at the list of producers, you'll see that one of them is Ales Komárek, who happens to run Partnership Pictures, right next to George Lucas' name. --Funkychinaman (talk) 03:14, 29 May 2013 (EDT) O.K. Komarek, although I do not know, but when it is this meaning, it is necessary to supplement Czech manufacturing and production in dozens of other movies! This is unbalanced. Unknown B movie yes and no famous works? --Pandolfini (talk) 03:19, 29 May 2013 (EDT)
He just got a production credit right next to George Lucas, so he's moving up in the world. (A bunch of other companies even list him as an executive producer.) If all these people did was supply lights, sew costumes and build sets, they'd be listed alongside all the other companies that supplied lights, sewed costumes and built sets. But they weren't, they were listed as a production company. If you take issue with that, take it up with IMDb, it's their listing. --Funkychinaman (talk) 03:27, 29 May 2013 (EDT) I owe an explanation: I have no problem with this. It is instead about the fact that on imdb is not mentioned in this film other countries, than the U.S. and yet you insists produced in the Czech Republic. For other, more famous titles, but is listed on imbd Czech Republic and in Imfdb to anyone missing.--Pandolfini (talk) 06:53, 29 May 2013 (EDT)
