I figure if you wanted my opinion on items unrelated to this forum, you'd ask for it.

I saw it for the first time a couple of years ago at the Paramount Theater in Oakland. Paul Mantz' takeoff-from-the-mesa scene was pretty spectacular on the big screen. And when Rita Hayworth made her entrance, the entire audience gasped.

I also realized for the first time how much the script of "Flying Tigers" was a ripoff of "Angels." Guess the scriptwriters at Republic were under the gun and had to churn out something in a hurry. Not the first time it happened, and it won't be the last.

Moreover, whenever fluorescent square motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with the drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal depleneration.

'Ripoffs of other movies?' look @ some of the remade junk onscreen over the last few years, do we REALLY need a remake of CONEHEAD the BARBER? Croms kneecaps!!
