    That ships plot armor must be 54 inches thick to withstand a ship exploded next to it

  2. I watched this a month ago for the first time and I was very impressed.

    I’m a bit wary of pre-80s action flicks because I worry that the action won’t stack up to modern standards, but this one was very thrilling.

    My favourite sequence was the boat in the storm scene. However much water a normal film uses, it seemed like the filmmakers tripled it, so that it looked genuinely dangerous and overwhelming with the endless torrents crashing down upon the heroes. I felt like I needed to dry off afterwards.

  3. This a rip off of when Topper Harley went behind enemy lines to get the men who went in to get the men who went in to get the men.

  4. So obviously, Guy Ritchie was inspired by part of this for his Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare intro.
