Lucas does Red Tails...

In the movie you see this plane at the brink of stall, tumbling backwards and shooting as it happens, which kinda defies a couple of laws of physics.

That shot was spead up about 27% so they could fit it in so it looks a little weird. It's also far from a "final shot" as most CG elements get completed in the last few weeks before "picture lock" (with a January release date, that's pretty far away).

If anything, at least the rudder position is in an accurate spot.

I can only imagine Sterjaeger that the shot was filmed this way for theatrical purposes but it is still a possibility.

yeah, it's quite a "only in Hollywood" shot, and as debated before, it's very very unlikely that a tumble like this would be a controlled manoeuvre.

Sorry if it's been posted before:

Red Tails: Trailer 2

You gotta love the Su-37 at 1.14, and the guy in the next scene asking: "How did he do that?".

Isn't the steam engine attack a bit overdone? None of the original videos I've seen does that. Lots of smoke pops up, and that's that. Pressure's gone. No need to make it explode, lift into the air, go around the world a couple of times and all that!

See, from watching all the movies, I thought that if you bumped a car in America, or even farted in one, it would just blow up! Turns out it's not true - who knew?

It's still true for the Zero though...

Ah well, if it fascinates people and they become interested in flying this, it would be great. It would be even greater if IL-2's name was somehow attached to the film. It would bring such an influx of people! I might actually shoot down someone for a change

They does blow up ! :

Well we all agree on the Hollywoodish factor.
But anyhow, we don't see these kind of movies being done anymore so lets just be grateful.

I do find it amusing that Cuba Gooding has been "promoted" in this film compared to the original Tuskeegee Airmen.
I would have love to see him as Col Benjamin O Davis though.

Looking forward to it but without the "realistic attitude".

Its a real maneuver, I saw an episode of Dogfights where the actual airman was talking about it. Just because you cant do it in Clod doesn't mean its not possible This is gonna be an epic movie I cant wait.
