I always knew that one too. It's the second the sun breaks through the clouds and the aircraft start doing runs...(James Whitmore)Quote:

Mmmm... Bill, wrecked jeep... Bill, wrecked jeep... ??? :madsmile:
Bob
Bill would have it...
Heck yeah I would. Okay, here's the deal with this jeep; it is, of course, a prop but somewhere there is a picture of this same jeep, from the movie, from the very rear looking forward. In that picture one can clearly see all the gauges and speedometer have been removed and IIRC the transmission floor cover is gone revealing that the transmission has been removed as well. The rear wheel is not a WWII jeep combat wheel and neither is the axle it's attached to. Just a couple of observations ;) And yes, I'm really bad about pointing such discrepancies out during the movie :D
Yeah, me two. I just pointed out an M-14 to my wife in Patton, besides the Walker Bulldog and Patton tanks. Of course, the Jeeps were all over the map in that one.

"sun breaks through the clouds and the aircraft start doing runs" Hub Zemke and his Jugs :)
"besides the Walker Bulldog" Ah, the M41, the Corvette of tanks -- 76mm gun, fast -- last tank with sticks instead of a wheel.
The absolute worst motion picture of all time for for vehicle authenticity was "In Harms Way" with John Wayne. The story of Pearl Harbor being attacked that had M151's, M35's and M37s, all Vietnam era vehicles. In fact I don't believe there was even one WWII vehicle in the picture. I'm surprised they didn't have F4 Phantoms, A-6 Intruders and B52s flying sorties in that movie! :rofl:
I hesitate to mention it because as war movies go it's possibly the worst I"ve seen, but Pearl Harbor. I love when the Japanese planes strafe and bomb the three Aeges Cruisers tied up together.
How was the vehicle accuracy in A Bridge Too Far?
