This movie looks to be promising!

Blaine Rawlings (James Franco) and his team of bi-wing fighter pilots battle the Germans.

Yeah, I wish it was WW2 instead. WW1 fighters weren't very fast or powerfull!! WW2 on the other hand had really sweet stuff. The P-51 Mustany (my favorite) the ME-109, Spitfire, B-17, etc.....

yeah, but just flying one of the early planes would be scary enough, much less having someone shooting at you :D :D :D

:D No kiddding. I like in the preview how he tells them they can go down with the plane, jump or shoot themselfs. Makes me glad we live in the world we do now, full of technology and advancements. :D

Did you ever wonder how they had to time the machine guns so that the bullets wouldn't shoot off the propellers?

I can't remember the name of it but I watched a history channel thing on it once. It is a device that is connected with the pistons of the engine. So at a certain point the gun can't fire and shoot the prop off.

That’s awesome, I never knew that. I wonder how many times they had "technical difficulties”. That would be one hell of a way to go down, by shooting yourself. :brewin:

Ok just saw this, Great movie. Its got some good action. I would say it was filmed in MGM's grand old style. Something i miss in today's movies :)

If your looking for one of those movies that they "used to make" this is it
