Piece of Cake was the nearest thing to it and that only mustered a few Spits and a Buchon or 3.
Modern variants still lean heavily on footage from this 1969 film.

"Dark Blue World" (Czech: Tmavomodrý svět) used some BoB footage, but also some new Spit footage.

Hmm I find the series "Foyles war" more interesting than "Dark Blue World" that film feels uncomplete. I mean they show how their country is invaded, then they are all of a sudden in Britain, they do their training, into the Battle of Britain, the oblegatory love affair not to be missed by any movie, the battle carries on, with flashes forward where they are imprisioned, and how they are released finally.......but what happens in between. It is just Battle of Britain and then early fifties....except for individual scenes I found that movie a bit disappointing.
