You're right. It can't be done.
I checked in and out of it for 20 second bursts (much like the machine gun fire ...no-one on set ever fired a gun obviously) based on my absolutley correct assumption that, much like Titanic, you could switch it on with 25 minutes to go and miss nothing of an importance.
It's basically a story of a trollope playing two rednecks against the middle with the somewhat more grave tale of Pearl Harbour as tinsel.
The female lead and her nurse buddies put in a performance of jaw dropping awfulness not seen since Tiffany Amber Thysen was in 'Saved By The Bell'.
I recall when it came out there was talk that Japanese people might find it offensive -darn tootin'. On evidence presented here Japanese pilots are stone fcukin blind and couldn't hit a barn from inside the thing -much less a plane that's filling their windscreen and is doing less than 150mph having just taken off.
American pilots on the other hand are a different breed. They can shoot down the filthy jap two at a time despite the fact he's flying 3 times faster than them, Furthermore they can knock up a kill tally in one mission that rivals what aces achieved in the entire battle of Britain and do so in planes that took off cold and attained no altitude.
...and it's based on a true story![]()
