The fact that a Japanese officer and a German officer are speaking to one another in their respective language with no translator is the greatest gag in movie history.
Actually he replies to the German officer in German before switching back to Japanese, when the German says that he doesn’t think the crew will find their way back to Japan, the Japanese officer says, “Wir werden sehen.” Or “we will see,” just in a thick Japanese accent.
Christopher Lee was in fact half German, but he speaks with a very thick English accent. He did speak some German, they just didn't bother to give him enough time.
Spielberg also winked at the audience for a few seconds in Close Encounters when the massive lead space ship plays a few seconds of the Jaws theme, and then there is a close up of Richard Dreyfuss. It was very obvious but it was fun, and didn't take any from what was actually a pretty dramatic scene.
Toshiro Mifune, the submarine skipper, did serve in World War II. He was with the Imperial Army Air Service as an aerial photographer. Towards the end of the war, he was in Japan. His job was to photograph the Kamikaze pilots before their final mission. Story goes he told the young pilots to cry, “Go ahead and cry out for your mother. There’s no shame in it.” Years later, Mifune told his children that seeing these young boys leave was an utter waste of lives.
yes, many WW2 Japanese veterans had no problem admitting how wrong their whole militaristic/superior race culture was; most of them were brainwashed since childhood
The Imperial Japanese Navy didn't tell the Imperial Japanese Army that they lost at Midway, BUT the IJN had told the IJA that they were planning an ambush of the pacific fleet. So for weeks the IJA planned and acted like the IJA had a lot more boats and the USN had far fewer boats. Attacks were launched, villages were burned because they thought their resupply was secure. Consequences continued long after the truth came out bc you can't un-sink a ship. The politics of Imperial Japan were so dysfunctional it's almost comical. Like Leopold's Congo.
Fun fact most of his crew were played by Japanese Americans most of them laid back californians who Toshiro had to whip into shape and he demanded professionalism from them. So he basiclly became their commander for real during the shoot.
I was about 10 when my somewhat strict parents let me rent this on dvd from blockbuster. They must’ve forgotten about this scene. I was watching it in my room on my portable dvd player and had the same reaction as the Japanese sailor 😂 RIP to the pause button
She loved to swim. So do I❤. Thank you Susan for inspiring me to have fun and improve my health and well-being by embracing the idea of swimming naked . You are my hero and my swim queen🎖️👑💖. I’ll miss you😢
I watched this movie in 1983 as a little kid on the big screen. I always remember this opening scene. But never got a chance to watch this movie again. Thanks to you tube I am watching this again, at least the opening scene...
I got a theory about this scene with Susan Backlinie parodying her own Jaw role. Assuming that this is set in the same universe as Jaws (1975), just set 34 years prior to Jaws, I speculate that the skinny dipper is likely to be Chrissie's mother. Yes Susan was just parodying her own Jaws role, but it's interesting to think that skinny dipping has been running in her family's history for years. The story goes that Chrissie's mother had been fascinated with skinny dipping, so Chrissie probably inherited this fascination from her mother.
I am very surprised that there are so many people who react especially to the parody link with "Jaws". When I saw the film the first time, I obviously caught the private joke and found it funny but I especially found the scene itself absolutely crazy ! Just like the whole movie. I mean, no matter the reference to "Jaws". I find the soldier yelling "Hollywood" while he's looking at the girl's bottom much more funny.
This movie was a true masterpiece by the one and only Steven Spielberg! I remember also the house on the island (at the beginning the door was closed and then Spielberg showed the whole house) - at the end the door was opended but no house standing only the doorframe with the open door! What an ending of this great movie!
Susan seemed like genuinely nice and fun person. If I had the ability to go back in time, I would travel back to 1975 and ask Susan if she wanted to go for a swim with me. Because I love to swim, and from what I’ve heard, so did she❤
1941 along with The Black Hole with Robert Forster and Time After Time with Malcolm McDowell are the most underappreciated films of 1979 and I really like 1941. 1941 is a very underrated and good Spielberg film. 1941 had an excellent John Williams music score, the opening Jaws parody scene with Susan Backlinie was my favorite scene of the film, and the scenes with John Belushi and Slim Pickens were also great. I also love both The Black Hole and Time After Time. The Black Hole is a very underappreciated and brilliant sci-fi Disney film, the John Barry music score was excellent, and The Black Hole had great characters like Dr. Hans Reinhardt, Maximilian, V.I.N.CENT, and Old B.O.B. The Black Hole had very good performances from Robert Forster, Yvette Mimieux, Anthony Perkins, and Maximilian Schell, Time After Time was an amazing time travel film with Malcolm McDowell, and Time After Time as well as 1941 and The Black Hole are all great cult classic films from 1979.
Recently rewatching "Casino Royale" (1967), the James Bond spoof, I thought there was something in common with "1941". The difference is "1941" is a very good crazy comedy with a story, while "Casino Royale" is so bad, not really funny and without a real screenplay.
1941 along with Moonraker, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Time After Time are the most underappreciated films of 1979 and I always liked 1941. 1941 was a very good comedy film by Steven Spielberg, the opening Jaws parody scene with Susan Backlinie was awesome, and the John Williams music score was absolutely superb. John Belushi's performance as Captain Wild Bill Kelso was the absolute best thing about this film, the scenes with Slim Pickens were great, and the Ferris Wheel rolling scene was pretty cool. I also love Moonraker, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Time After Time. Moonraker is a very underappreciated and brilliant James Bond film, Michael Lonsdale as Hugo Drax and the John Barry music score were both my favorite things about Moonraker, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture as well as Time After Time are both great cult classic sci-fi films. Time After Time with Malcolm McDowell was an excellent time travel film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture was a very good Star Trek film, and I will always have a soft spot for Moonraker, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Time After Time, and 1941 from 1979. I can't believe that Moonraker, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Time After Time, and 1941 are all 45 years old in 2024 and 1941 with John Belushi along with Moonraker, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Time After Time are all way more better films than The Rise of Skywalker.

Yes, it made me laugh too. I'll say that when I pass and see the white iconic HOLLYWOOD sign on the freeway. I tell passengers that the Japanese navy was looking for Hollywood after the attack on Pearl Harbor. They ask me why? I told them because they wanted to make a Japanese propaganda film. Lol
Speilberg said in an interview that when he went to an early preview for the movie, the opening got such a riotous reaction from the audience that he felt sure that he had another hit, but after the opening and the story began, there were only 3-4 laughs from the audience for the rest of the movie, due to the level of noise.
Oregon. The Japanese hit Oregon. There is an actual rock on the Oregon coast that took a direct torpedo hit from a Japanese submarine. Yes, they torpedoed a rock. The rock is still there. I think there is a scratch on it. They got us good.
@@k0smon Mark Felton did a series of videos about the subjects of Japanese coastline bombardment and paper balloons sent from Japan, to set the U.S. on fire .
Yes they did! I live 45 minutes from Santa Barbara where the Japanese navy fired live shells on a oil storage facility. I can only imagine how the locals panicked not to mention Californians.
Honestly, one of the few memorable scenes of this mess of a movie; also, I have no shame in admitting that Susan Backlinie help me realize I was heterosexual at a young age; God bless her
I was told that after the attack at Pearl Harbor, people panicked on the west coast. Some people with their binoculars would drive out to the beach or drive on a hill over looking the coast and look for Japanese subs or ships. Some on lookers had guns or rifles.
@@harrylongabaugh7402 I know that's why the us is very lucky we never faced an opponent with comparable navy and or air force. It ain't fun getting naval bombarded or saturated bombed. Imagine if the Japanese or Germans could mister a dday type fleet at the cost of California...
16 years ago, I visited San Francisco and crossed the Golden Gate Bridge and found places that were once bunkers that were built because of Pearl Harbor. It actually had an anti-aircraft gun and another that could be fired on ships in case of an invasion
@@harrylongabaugh7402 I'd say the fact that you're surrounded by a friend (Canada) and a nation that is very well aware that it's weaker than you (Mexico) plus 2 vast oceans is the actual reason you never got invaded. There's a reason D-Day started from Britain and you weren't just rushing to mainland Japan but hopping from island to island to get a starting point for an invasion after all. And technically the British did invade you in 1812.
Good thing that the blonde-haired woman who was skinny-dipping in the ocean as a member of the polar bear club didn't get captured when she was holding onto an enemy submarine as it was rising from under the Pacific Ocean and then later it went down so that she can swim back to shore before she could get captured.
I wonder if the weather in California is a bit warmer during the month of December because not a single character in this movie wears any heavy clothing especially when outside
Yup, Cannon Beach OR's Haystack Rock. No Cal doesn't have that many seamounts. My question is who in their right mind would skinny dip in this area? Then again the "Polar Bear Club" jacket she's wearing does kind kind of give it away
R I P Susan Backlinie ,As remembered 4 years before as the first victim in Jaws ,In this 1979 spoof she was hilarious with Spielberg's iconic Jaws theme ,R I P Susan Backlinie .
If I were a filmmaker in the mid 70s or early 80s I would definitely make a film about a woman who goes on a journey seeking peace and self healing after a nasty divorce, a miscarriage, and job loss by traveling the world and swimming in all of the world’s most warmest and coldest waters and most beautiful beaches, and Susan Backlinie would be the lead star. Obviously she would do plenty of skinny dipping since I guess that’s something she loved to do😉🥰💖
I would not want to eat the kind of breakfast those two men were making. Sure, I like pancakes and eggs, but not the way they made them. I saw part of an eggshell on the fryer cooking with the egg. In short, it was a mess in that kitchen.
Dishwashers are the unsung heroes in the restaurant business. I myself am one, though I don’t consider myself a hero. I just think those kinds of people need a little bit more recognition and respect because it’s about as hard as any other job in the food service
Wonder who opened the hatch from the outside at 2:22? Only person it could have been was the girl - so she apparently hopped down off the periscope, quickly opened the hatch, and climbed back up before anyone could see her :P Even worse, none of the crew inside the sub wondered how the hatch opened by itself :P
It was always going to be Susan Blacklinie.. they wanted to have some fun parodying the opening from JAWS.. she agreed instantly when she found out it was a Steven Spielberg movie. Spielberg toyed with the idea of filming the scene using the same pov camera angles as the Shark attack for the Japanese submarine surfacing.. but decided against it as he didn't want people be scared..
I agree. I regret that Spielberg did not continue with comedy projects. One of the strong points of the Indiana Jones films is the humorous aspect. "1941" was originally written for John Milius as director and was supposed to be a drama film. It seems that it was Spielberg who decided to go in crazy comedy way. I never understood why the film did not work and was not even reconsidered over time. After all, John Wayne, who advised Spielberg not to pursue this project, was maybe right!
@@kewanw16 Because of her I’ve developed an interest in skinny dipping🥰🌞⛱️🕊️💖. Thank you Susan❤️❤️❤️. I hope you’re swimming in the peaceful and beautiful waters up above

My wonderful friend Raven Mockery who captured movie scenes of usually funny, somewhat erotic, sometimes horror-thriller stories and reflections of in face successful and striking actresses. From you, opening scene of a so much fun comedy movie 1941. After Pearl Harbor attack, Japan's new target is Hollywood! Commander Mitamura wants to destroy something "honorable" in Los Angeles and decides to target Hollywood. But,Japanese submarine has become lost trying to find Los Angeles after the ship's compass malfunctions. By the way, Susan Jane Backlinie, who portrayed the young girl who was attacked by a shark in Jaws (1975), this time she meets into a Japanese submarine in coast of Los Angeles. Instead of being attacked by a shark while swimming in the middle of the night, she is "caught" by the periscope of a Japanese submarine.Japanese soldier shouting "Hollywood!"when he saw the naked girl's butt rode the periscope pole.. It was really funny. This scene has been described as the best joke in what is widely considered one of Spielberg's least successful films. In my opinion a comedy movie that never deserves the label of Spielberg's worst movie. The movie didn't make the kind of money that Steven's other most successful movies have made.But the movie was by no means a flop. There were more many various funny scene from start to finish in this entertaining movie. In one of them only, Hollis P. Wood (Slim Pickens) who wanted to cut Japanese soldiers as a Christmas tree, thinking that it was a pine tree, was catched by the Japanese and brought to the submarine.He refuse to give information to the Japanese.He an American nationalist man enough to swallow the tiny compass that could be a remedy the broken compass systems of the Japanese. And many more fun scenes. The rich cast of 1941 movie is truly ravished. John Belushi as Captain "Wild" Bill Kelso, Dan Aykroyd as Motor Sergeant Frank Tree, Slim Pickens as Hollis P. Wood, Christopher Lee as Captain Wolfgang von Kleinschmidt, Warren Oates as Colonel "Madman" Maddox, Ned Beatty as Ward Douglas, Nancy Allen as (Bomb) Donna Stratton, Mickey Rourke as Pvt.Reese, James Caan as Fighting Sailor, Dianne Kay as Betty Douglas,Toshiro Mifune as commander Mitamura and others.. You have many more great videos on your channel that I haven't yet been able to comment on.I had watched some of them, but could not find the opportunity to write comments. In 1941 it was just one of them. Thanks again for this great scene, my friend. See you again, Have a nice weekend.
Your precious commentaries are always welcome, my friend Özden. It also allows visitors to learn more about the movies. The goal is to make people want to see these films. Thus "1941" which was as much a critical failure as a public one. In my opinion, this is one of Spielberg's best achievements. A weird and frantic tale somewhere between "Mad", "Dr. Strangelove" and "National Lampoon". The direction is exceptional and the cast particularly brilliant, even in small parts. In addition, there are a lot of "private jokes" to famous movies or roles (as the Chris Lee shot in the submarine reminding "Dracula, Prince Of Darkness"). I really don't understand why this crazy movie is not reconsidered. See you soon, pal. Take care and thanks again for your true movie and music passion.

I'm probably wrong but this looks like the original woman from the opening scene from JAWS as well. Is it possible they went and hired the same actress?

Susan Baclinie was such a beautiful and graceful swimmer. I could watch a two or three hour movie of her swimming and I could never get bored. I don’t know why but watching her swim in Jaws and in this scene just feels so satisfying, and even makes me want to go skinny dipping as well😅. This woman had unfathomable power😍🥰🕊️💖

Speilberg said in an interview that when he went to an early preview for the movie, the opening got such a riotous reaction from the audience that he felt sure that he had another hit, but after the opening and the story began, there were only 3-4 laughs from the audience for the rest of the movie, due to the level of noise.
It's really dumb humor -- meant for the strictly 100 IQ and under crowd.
@@donbrown1284 like me.

"HORRRYWOOOOOD!!!!!!"
Who else came here to watch this scene after reading about Susan Backlinie's passing?
Herself...
The fact Spielberg made fun of his own movie was hilarious
@@pepsiguy52883 And then SpongeBob spoofed his movie Jaws with the Clams episode
I love this movie :)
When you realize that Japanese actually managed in ww2 to get that close to California coastline
Oregon. The Japanese hit Oregon. There is an actual rock on the Oregon coast that took a direct torpedo hit from a Japanese submarine. Yes, they torpedoed a rock.
The rock is still there. I think there is a scratch on it. They got us good.
13//// They also had a few balloon bombs that reached us.
@@k0smon Mark Felton did a series of videos about the subjects of Japanese coastline bombardment and paper balloons sent from Japan, to set the U.S. on fire .
@@k0smon dont forget the "battle of l.a." no that had nothing to do with flying saucers
Yes they did! I live 45 minutes from Santa Barbara where the Japanese navy fired live shells on a oil storage facility. I can only imagine how the locals panicked not to mention Californians.
i think this is the only movie that shows the japanese and germans cooperating
Honestly, one of the few memorable scenes of this mess of a movie; also, I have no shame in admitting that Susan Backlinie help me realize I was heterosexual at a young age; God bless her
A eso
it was from this, that i told my friends that anytime i say "hollywood" i`m refering to a beautiful girl nearby
RIP Susan!
@@Xorcist-Band The year 1941 was five years before Susan was born🥺
I was told that after the attack at Pearl Harbor, people panicked on the west coast. Some people with their binoculars would drive out to the beach or drive on a hill over looking the coast and look for Japanese subs or ships. Some on lookers had guns or rifles.
and i keep forgetting that people don't quite understand... your pea shooter ain't gonna do jack diddly aginst naval gun fire lol
@@joeswanson733 the rifles were to repel an invasion. The private ownership of firearms in the U.S. is the main reason that we've never been invaded.
@@harrylongabaugh7402 I know that's why the us is very lucky we never faced an opponent with comparable navy and or air force. It ain't fun getting naval bombarded or saturated bombed. Imagine if the Japanese or Germans could mister a dday type fleet at the cost of California...
16 years ago, I visited San Francisco and crossed the Golden Gate Bridge and found places that were once bunkers that were built because of Pearl Harbor. It actually had an anti-aircraft gun and another that could be fired on ships in case of an invasion
@@harrylongabaugh7402 I'd say the fact that you're surrounded by a friend (Canada) and a nation that is very well aware that it's weaker than you (Mexico) plus 2 vast oceans is the actual reason you never got invaded. There's a reason D-Day started from Britain and you weren't just rushing to mainland Japan but hopping from island to island to get a starting point for an invasion after all.
And technically the British did invade you in 1812.
Hey, it's Lord Toranaga from Shogun (Toshiro Mifune).

Good thing that the blonde-haired woman who was skinny-dipping in the ocean as a member of the polar bear club didn't get captured when she was holding onto an enemy submarine as it was rising from under the Pacific Ocean and then later it went down so that she can swim back to shore before she could get captured.
I wonder if the weather in California is a bit warmer during the month of December because not a single character in this movie wears any heavy clothing especially when outside
The Japanese submarines bears the serial number I-19; the same one that sank the USS WASP.
Spielberg directed both movies, and Susan Blacklinie, you know her as Chrissie, reprised her role in this scene. 😂
Es igual a mí novia esa chica
At least, here she's just dying of embarrassment . . .

@@King_Colombia_Inc Susan looked like she was having fun with both roles💖
If you notice at the 25 second mark, you see some rocks. If they look familiar to you, it's because they also filmed The Goonies here.
Yup, Cannon Beach OR's Haystack Rock. No Cal doesn't have that many seamounts.
My question is who in their right mind would skinny dip in this area? Then again the "Polar Bear Club" jacket she's wearing does kind kind of give it away

Jaws turned into a comedy instead of horror
The Zucker Brothers would do the same thing a year later with the opening scene of AIRPLANE!
Saw it in cinema,as a young boy.
If you never get to see a movie that will knock your pants off ....this is the one John Belushi 1941!!!!🥴
this was ok. animal house n the blues brothers were better.
They used the same beach scene too.
R I P Susan Backlinie ,As remembered 4 years before as the first victim in Jaws ,In this 1979 spoof she was hilarious with Spielberg's iconic Jaws theme ,R I P Susan Backlinie .
If I were a filmmaker in the mid 70s or early 80s I would definitely make a film about a woman who goes on a journey seeking peace and self healing after a nasty divorce, a miscarriage, and job loss by traveling the world and swimming in all of the world’s most warmest and coldest waters and most beautiful beaches, and Susan Backlinie would be the lead star. Obviously she would do plenty of skinny dipping since I guess that’s something she loved to do😉🥰💖

Si ja me recordó a mí novia a ella también le encanta bucear desnuda siempre lo hace
John Belushi was originally going to play the Japanese sub commander.
Samurai Night Fever? 🤔
I’m glad they went with this other actor because he nailed it😂
I would not want to eat the kind of breakfast those two men were making. Sure, I like pancakes and eggs, but not the way they made them. I saw part of an eggshell on the fryer cooking with the egg. In short, it was a mess in that kitchen.
I agree 😄But sometimes, a bit of fun in the kitchen is cool. For many of us, kitchen is the ultimate suspense place!
T H A T ' S T H E J O K E
Hahaha...."in short, it was a mess in that kitchen." Yup, the very definition of short order!
Dishwashers are the unsung heroes in the restaurant business. I myself am one, though I don’t consider myself a hero. I just think those kinds of people need a little bit more recognition and respect because it’s about as hard as any other job in the food service
RIP John Candy, Joe Flaherty, John Belushi, Slim Pickens, Robert Stack, Murray Hamilton, Frank McRae, David L. Lander, & Dick Miller.
And now Susan backlinie
Sam Fuller was in this too
First movie a great white, now a Japanese submarine. Poor lady 😂😂😂😂
RIP Susan 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏
Rest In Peace Susan
That woman had power nobody could fathom❤💖💙
Can anybody make this brighter, just like “Jaws”?
It's plenty bright. The issue here is fog.

最後のセリフの翻訳合ってます？
1:59 Not this time!
Her face at 2:02😂. She’s thinking wtf!?!
Horrywood !!!
Wonder who opened the hatch from the outside at 2:22? Only person it could have been was the girl - so she apparently hopped down off the periscope, quickly opened the hatch, and climbed back up before anyone could see her :P
Even worse, none of the crew inside the sub wondered how the hatch opened by itself :P
That’s why it’s comedy
I heard Kathy Coleman was offered the scene but she turned it down.
Maybe because she was definitely lost...
I don't know about that, but the swimmer in 1941 was the same actress from the opening scene in Jaws.
It was always going to be Susan Blacklinie.. they wanted to have some fun parodying the opening from JAWS.. she agreed instantly when she found out it was a Steven Spielberg movie. Spielberg toyed with the idea of filming the scene using the same pov camera angles as the Shark attack for the Japanese submarine surfacing.. but decided against it as he didn't want people be scared..
@@acoote1701 Interesting - I remember watching this and the entire theater erupted in laughter - was the biggest laugh of the film.
@@joycekoch5746 from some reports I've read it was the only genuine laugh from the cinema audience
First she got dragged down to the ground by a shark,then she got lifted in the air by a Submarine.😂
Poor girl, she just wanted to go for a harmless evening skinny dip😢
An incredible inside joke...
"HORRYVOOOOD"
LOL..... haha... just killed me
What a great movie.
I won't lie, I would not have believed him either
This didn't even feel like a Spielberg film more like a Robert Zemekis or John Landis film
I agree. I regret that Spielberg did not continue with comedy projects. One of the strong points of the Indiana Jones films is the humorous aspect. "1941" was originally written for John Milius as director and was supposed to be a drama film. It seems that it was Spielberg who decided to go in crazy comedy way. I never understood why the film did not work and was not even reconsidered over time. After all, John Wayne, who advised Spielberg not to pursue this project, was maybe right!
REST IN PEACE SUSAN BACKLINIE
@@kewanw16 Because of her I’ve developed an interest in skinny dipping🥰🌞⛱️🕊️💖. Thank you Susan❤️❤️❤️. I hope you’re swimming in the peaceful and beautiful waters up above
My wonderful friend Raven Mockery who captured movie scenes of usually funny, somewhat erotic, sometimes horror-thriller stories and reflections of in face successful and striking actresses.
From you, opening scene of a so much fun comedy movie 1941.
After Pearl Harbor attack, Japan's new target is Hollywood!
Commander Mitamura wants to destroy something "honorable" in Los Angeles and decides to target Hollywood.
But,Japanese submarine has become lost trying to find Los Angeles after the ship's compass malfunctions.
By the way, Susan Jane Backlinie, who portrayed the young girl who was attacked by a shark in Jaws (1975), this time she meets into a Japanese submarine in coast of Los Angeles.
Instead of being attacked by a shark while swimming in the middle of the night, she is "caught" by the periscope of a Japanese submarine.Japanese soldier shouting "Hollywood!"when he saw the naked girl's butt rode the periscope pole..
It was really funny.
This scene has been described as the best joke in what is widely considered one of Spielberg's least successful films.
In my opinion a comedy movie that never deserves the label of Spielberg's worst movie.
The movie didn't make the kind of money that Steven's other most successful movies have made.But the movie was by no means a flop.
There were more many various funny scene from start to finish in this entertaining movie. In one of them only,
Hollis P. Wood (Slim Pickens) who wanted to cut Japanese soldiers as a Christmas tree, thinking that it was a pine tree, was catched by the Japanese and brought to the submarine.He refuse to give information to the Japanese.He an American nationalist man enough to swallow the tiny compass that could be a remedy the broken compass systems of the Japanese. And many more fun scenes.
The rich cast of 1941 movie is truly ravished.
John Belushi as Captain "Wild" Bill Kelso, Dan Aykroyd as Motor Sergeant Frank Tree, Slim Pickens as Hollis P. Wood,
Christopher Lee as Captain Wolfgang von Kleinschmidt, Warren Oates as Colonel "Madman" Maddox, Ned Beatty as Ward Douglas, Nancy Allen as (Bomb) Donna Stratton, Mickey Rourke as Pvt.Reese, James Caan as Fighting Sailor, Dianne Kay as Betty Douglas,Toshiro Mifune as commander Mitamura and others..
You have many more great videos on your channel that I haven't yet been able to comment on.I had watched some of them, but could not find the opportunity to write comments. In 1941 it was just one of them. Thanks again for this great scene, my friend.
See you again, Have a nice weekend.
Your precious commentaries are always welcome, my friend Özden. It also allows visitors to learn more about the movies. The goal is to make people want to see these films. Thus "1941" which was as much a critical failure as a public one. In my opinion, this is one of Spielberg's best achievements. A weird and frantic tale somewhere between "Mad", "Dr. Strangelove" and "National Lampoon". The direction is exceptional and the cast particularly brilliant, even in small parts. In addition, there are a lot of "private jokes" to famous movies or roles (as the Chris Lee shot in the submarine reminding "Dracula, Prince Of Darkness"). I really don't understand why this crazy movie is not reconsidered. See you soon, pal. Take care and thanks again for your true movie and music passion.
Thank you very much for your wonderful reply comment.
See you later take care of yourself.

I'm probably wrong but this looks like the original woman from the opening scene from JAWS as well. Is it possible they went and hired the same actress?
You'll find an answer in the commentaries
Yep that's the same actress.

Susan Baclinie was such a beautiful and graceful swimmer. I could watch a two or three hour movie of her swimming and I could never get bored. I don’t know why but watching her swim in Jaws and in this scene just feels so satisfying, and even makes me want to go skinny dipping as well😅. This woman had unfathomable power😍🥰🕊️💖
Haystack Rock. Isn't that Oregon? Oregon, California...pre-med, pre-law...what's the difference.
If it isn't Haystack Rock, then Spielberg built a replica. Being from Oregon, I noticed that right away when film came out
