Jeffery,

The movie is The Final Countdown, I own the Limited Edition Version and one of the disk has all of the f-14 Tora Tora stuff that never made it on to the Movie.

If you watch the movie you will see that the Jolly Rogers almost lost two F-14s during the Dog-Fight shot.

Cheers RER


how I would dearly love to see that extra stuff.

you have me curious too as to how they nearly lost the F14's. any hints would be greatly appreciated.

F-14A's have a really bad habit of crashing. Basically they fall out of the sky every so often. But what do you want from 30-year-old airframes that have had the snot beat out of them. I guess they were only 10-15 years old at filming.

Heh, Ju-87's with some sort of plasma launcher instead of 37mm cannon... too funny.
