Janes Combat Sim, Fighters Anthology was 1997 or 8 (which coincidentally predicted the Russian Crimea invasion in the F14/F18 US navy campaign). Still Tears of the Sun itself was based off of true events. Only it was a Canadian JTF-2 team operating in South America that went against orders in order to save innocents, not the SEALs. Still a great movie and despite inaccuracies it left me with a feeling of desperation and struggle and ultimately admiration for a real life special forces team that actually did disobey orders in order to save lives.

As someone who works in the film industry, I think I understand what happened with the Master Arm Switch/Spin Recovery Switch. There's an old filmmaking rule called the 180 degree rule - to help the audience stay oriented spatially when they watch the film. Since the Hornets are moving right to left, filming the incorrect switch maintains that same general orientation. If they had popped the camera over to the other side of the jet to get the Master Arm Switch, it would suddenly appear to the audience that the jets are moving in the opposite direction. They probably realized the correct switch was on the "wrong" side of the cockpit when they were boarding it out (or worse, possibly on set), and rather than add shots (money/time) to solve the continuity problem - just called art department to dress up the Spin Recovery Switch, since MOST people have no idea what they're looking at. That one, from a filmmaking perspective makes sense to me (at least why it happened). The randomly armed/not armed thing is frustrating though, because that's basic continuity - since they're already using CG they'd have the resources to add them in if budget/time allowed. I dig these videos! Thanks for making them!

Not disagreeing that its stupid, but it must have been an aesthetic choice from the director in that he wanted to shoot from the jets' left for subconcious psychological reasons (so they move from right to left), so for continuity you have to make the in-cockpit shot from the left too or it'll look weird

I was a pilot in this movie in the SH-60B helicopter at about 14:25 mark in this video, the one farthest out from the camera. There were actually 4 SH-60B's from HSL-37 airborne but I think you only see 3 in the film. We shot for about a week in Oahu. Got to hang out on set. Bruce Willis was really cool, spent time hanging with the aircrew and maintainers. His daughter was a girl scout. Each year Bruce bought thousands of boxes of girl scout cookies and sent out to the fleet. The year prior my ship received a crate of the girl scout cookies, complements of Bruce. That is how we struck up the conversation with him - he was stoked to meet someone who actually received his cookies. Two people from my squadron got a couple seconds of face time on film, the C.O. and an aircrew Senior Chief.

That was shot on Oahu, I was working traffic control during that sequence. The F/A-18's did a low pass through the valley before they detonated the pyrotechnics. Then they brought in the SH-60's to fly in, land, and take off. The part of the road I was on was slightly higher (pretty wide valley) than the F/A-18's, and it was an awesome sight to see.

Mover, thanks for such a nice debrief!

Hello sir. Ever thought about interviewing Everett Alvarez, USN, POW? Really like your show.

I always enjoy when Mover explains a bit more when it comes to whats going on and what they are doing.

Continuity on combat aircraft in Hollywood, even in films like Topgun, that have access to USN and USAF almost never happens. Film editors don't know the difference between a CBU and an AIM-120. They don't think anyone notices. And the few that do notice don't make up an important part of the film going audience. It costs a lot of bucks to pay the Navy to load out a jet for a film and fly it (assuming they'll even do that!). It costs considerably less to use stock footage.

loved this hahaha thx!

Most people would never notice things like that, but I found it interesting. I hope you keep doing more of these! It would be cool to see you do some cop stuff too since you spent time as one. My dad and brother were both cops and they would always see screw ups in cop shows and movies.

There's a couple of good scenes in Thirteen Days. One low altitude recon mission with a couple of F-8s, and a missile evasion scene with a U2. Would love to get your take on it. It's a good movie too, it idolizes JFK too much, according to Robert McNamara it was Tommy Thompson who suggested the final "deal" that prevented the invasion of Cuba, not JFK. JFK was resigned to the invasion when Thompson said "Mr. President, I think you're wrong." Anyways, let us know what you think about the aviation scenes, they seem to be reasonably authentic.
