Default 'Tora, Tora, Tora' - the best movie about Pearl Harbor

Lt. Commander Fuchida Mitsuo climbs into his Nakajima B5N2 'Kate' bomber and the Japanese pilots start their engines and take off from the carriers. The headband Fuchida takes from the chief mechanic says 'victory is assured' like the pilots in the above Pearl Harbor video are wearing.

Good scene, real airplanes here, no CGI crap.


Attack scenes.

Tora! Tora! Tora! : Japanese Air Force Takes Off To Pearl Harbor

Attack scenes.

Tora! Tora! Tora! (Attack! Attack! Attack!) The BEST video ever!

I've watched Pearl Harbor, and I want to watch Tora! Tora! Tora!...

Beautiful scenes from both movies, Comrade Ray.

Tora! Tora! Tora! is a vastly better film than Pearl Harbor. It's almost told in documentary style without any political propaganda, silly romance stories or getting historical events completely wrong, such as the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo.

Classic scene from a classic movie. The ship even sounds like the Batmobile and the Jupiter 2, which I thought was cool when I first saw this as a kid. After crashing into Lake Powell, Arizona, and the camera pulls back you even see steam coming off the ship, which was still hot after re-entry. Too bad astronaut Stewart didn't make it, Chuck Heston had to settle for the mute girl Nova.

Great classic.

And Charlton Heston is one of my favorite actors.

I also thought Alotta Fagina was hot and Random Task's killer shoe was cool. Oops, wrong movie.

The famous scene of Bond arrested and the laser.

It was a tense moment.

Sean Connery is one of my childhood heroes and today too, he inspires me a lot.

Ah yes, Ursula Andress, the very first Bond girl. Funny, I just watched her in The Blue Max the other day. Hard to believe she is 87 years old now.

Minor nitpick with this scene: The TBM Avengers of Flight 19 were painted in an overall glossy dark sea blue scheme in late 1945, not the light sea blue over gray undersides used earlier in the war as shown in the movie. An example is shown below of an Avenger used by the Royal Navy. Also, the Flight 19 planes had 'FT' for Fort Lauderdale Naval Air Station painted in white block lettering on the fuselage sides in front of the US star-and-bar insignia.
