the timeline on the production of this movie relative to the war is wild. what do you mean they US landed at Leyte when they were in principal photography???

also lmao at japanese stuarts and shermans, yeah bro that's definitely a ha go
Surprised they couldn’t find a Renault FT floating around. Though to be honest fuck it we got M4s and M3s to spare for movie productions is a flex for sure
yeah it really is a flex
wouldn't be surprised if the M4 was one of the weirder ones and not an A3
the explosion work is really impressive because they're like actual blasts and not giant fireballs which is probably a function of not being in color?
For me what really sells it is the shrapnel and blast hitting the camera. It's legitimately a concerning amount of shrapnel from some of the grenade blasts
also oh my god a blown up sherman turns into a turretless/gunless M3
I've always loved how in one shot you see John Wayne get actually bounced up in the air by one of the explosions.
