I have seen it advertised on Facebook Gary but have not seen the movie.

I have seen the film. I own it on dvd. It is not a bad film. It is worth watching. Bruce Willis does not have a big part and despite the poster there are no Corsairs in the film. There are several interweaving plot threads. The air combat is c.g.i. generated. The Chinese pilots bravely fly their Polikarpovs against fleets of Japanese fighters and bombers. After training they use their secret weapon a Curtiss P-40.

Bruce needed money...

Thanks David. I will go back to the store and see if it still available.

Well not really a video store. More a music/DVD store but yes there is one in Hollywood Plaza. I usually try to get anything to do with flying and just noticed this one the other day.

Bought it and watched it this afternoon. Three or four plots in there. Must be pretty close to the worst war film I have ever seen. I doubt there were any rehearsals. Nothing developed or concluded in full. Poor acting and CGI. A great movie if you are a poor sleeper.

Also known as Air Strike in the US I think. A great movie to avoid.

I will see if I can inflict it upon any others in my WoG play group tonight.

Thanks Gary! I will avoid that one.
