For that time extremely impressive. Especially the scenes showing the whole harbor with explosions ect. Panoramic view. Very hard to do and look good. They did a excellent job.
The best comment from a young kid that I ever saw was why old Japanese planes from the war were not saved for future movie making purposes. He didn't quite understand why every single weapon of war that Japan used during the war was blown up or sunk in various harbors.
@@timonsolus 99.9 percent of them were. Some did survive. They are scattered around in both Japan and the U.S. They fetch very high prices among collectors now, at least those that are in rotation. Several others are in Japanese institutions such as museums and such. The few that remain with collectors still appear at air shows every now and then. Who would have thought? I didn't know it at the time (I was just a kid), but Tora Tora Tora didn't use the real thing. They had to use old U.S. military trainers and make them look like the Japanese warplanes that attacked Pearl Harbor.
@4:13 The producers use some artistic license when they depict Wildcats in the air, attacking the dive bombers. No Navy aircraft sortied to defend against the attack. The surprise was that complete. Some Army Air Force aircraft from outlying fields did get up and scored some kills, but no F4Fs did. The only Navy fighters involved at all were a section of six Wildcats from Fighting Six from the Enterprise. They were launched in the afternoon to escort search patrols trying to find the Japanese (they did not). The escorts got separated from their charges and were ordered to land at Pearl. Their arrival had been reported, but gun crews understandably thought any airplane in the air was Japanese, and they were fired on from all sides. Three of the pilots were killed.
I love how they flew over the whole island and right as Pearl Harbor appeared they saw it and the coastline. Still better than Pearl Harbor movie though
Besides being totally untrue, you mean? The Japanese didn't approach Pearl by diving through a valley on their way in. But their soecial effect battle scenes got much better by the time Toa Tora Tora was filmed.
@@nyaswed1520 Who cares about this one Inaccuracy? No one. We are here Mostly because of the Effects and the fact that they were Done by Eiji Tsuburaya. All Movies have Inaccuracies. Even Tora, Tora, Tora has Inaccuracies. But these Movies are Mostly Accurate and that's what makes them Good. Does one Inaccuracy make a Film bad? No! Pearl Harbor (2001) However is Very Disrespectful and is just a Bad Film.
Fun fact: While it is well known that the Japanese had 29 planes shot down over Pearl Harbor, most don’t know that an additional 70 planes had taken damage to one degree or another. After landing on their carriers, some 20 had to be tossed over the side because they weren’t capable of flying anymore and were just dead weight. So the attack on Pearl cost the Kindo Butai roughly 1/9 of their entire strike force.
I do enjoy some of the comments pointing out the obvious not so real looking scenes. Its true the look like old Godzilla movies lol . However, i remember as a child still being frightened as it was still new, and the best had. I enjoy these clips though, bearing in mind they were not meant to be expensive Hollywood like recreations. Just meant to illustrate in an accurate time frame the reactions and feelings of the Japanese point of view of the aftermath of the devastating and so suddenly shocking turn of events. So often descriptions of the battle leave much of this out. I enjoy these clips for doing as they are intended and give me much to consider than I had before. A stage play can hardly accomplish what a cinematic experience can, but the central idea is still conveyed none the less. Great job. !!
Same studio, Toho Films that did this war film in 1960. Also same special effect director, Eiji Tsuburaya, who did Gojira, Varan, and Rodan. A year later, he would along with Ishiro Honda release Mothra in 1961.
CGI is all well and good, but I prefer the natural, organic look of well-crafted miniatures. Is this a Toho production? Regardless, it is exceptionally well produced.
*Someone was unaware that Hawaii is lacking in forests of conifer trees and has no 'Alps' or 'Matterhorn' formations of mountain-chains* ____________ ( *I was expecting to see 'Gojira' rise from the harbor wearing a 'ten go' head-band and a ceremonial sword while 'stomping around' to 'show support' for his 'Homeland'* )
Hey, Gerry, don't ruin it for us! We liked seeing the picturesque mountain chains, conifer trees, the deep mountain passes as the planes flew through. Okay, so it really isn't Oahu's Koolau Mountain Range. So what. We still enjoyed seeing this 'reinterpretation' of tropical Hawaii with Alps-like mountains. I was also expecting to see Godzilla in the next frame rising up from the depths of Pearl Harbor.
@@jeffyoung60 *I give 'Kudos' for their efforts at animating miniatures, but unfortunately they don't work well with 'High Def' and all the other new techniques available now* ( *'Rodan' would be more appropriate at Pearl...after all, it was an 'Air Attack'* )
@@gerrynightingale9045 No disagreement there, Gerry. But hey, that was the whole charm of the miniatures, how cool they looked. I assembled plastic airplane models kits as a youngster and teenager so I am partial to those animated miniatures. Sure it didn't look totally realistic but that was the whole fun of it all. It was like seeing Pearl Harbor animated like the Thunderbirds or Captain Scarlett. Japanese filmmakers continued to use the same animated miniatures effects in a few other 1960s war movies. Frank Sinatra, who produced a war movie in 1965, "None But The Brave", starring Clint Walker. The beginning of the movie employs the Japanese animated fighter plane miniatures. He supposedly hired the Japanese to fabricate the scene. A flying miniature DC-10 carrying a squad of Marines, flown by Marine captain Bourke (Walker), is ambushed by a lone A6M3 Zero-sen. The Zero manages to shoot down the DC-10 but is engaged by the accompanying Marines F4U-1 Corsair. The Zero and the Corsair shoot each other down, both crashing into the sea. That scene watching the animated miniature planes was very fun to watch.
@@jeffyoung60 *I put-together more 'Revell' and 'Aurora' kits than I can remember in the early '60's and I'm shocked I didn't become a 'Glue Huffer' at 8 & 9yrs. old!* ( *I LOVED those things then* ) ____________ *I recently asked a 'Tube poster 'How much would he charge?' for a Lucite encased 'U-Boot Death Scene' complete w/lighted 'depth-charges' but haven't heard back yet* ( *I have all the time needed to 'do it myself' but if I did it people on seeing it would say "Why did you make all this effort to construct 'dog-poop' that looks vaguely like a submarine inside this plastic cube?"* ) ___________ *Who/What is 'Captain Scarlett?'* ___________ *I remember 'Thunderbirds' but it looked 'weird' even when I was a kid so I was not a big fan* ( *On the other hand I loved 'Team America World Police' where every priceless artifact in Paris is destroyed attempting to 'Preserve Freedom' and 'Protect A Helpless People From Terrorists!'* )
Eiji Tsuburaya was considered a perfectionist. He wanted the models of the landscape, city, terrain, etc, all down to the tiniest and minute accuracy. His war film in 1942, The War At Sea, was so close to being authentic to the actual portrayal of Pearl Harbor that even the likes of Douglas MacArthur, William Halsey Jr, and Chester Nimitz thought it was actual war footage of the Imperial Japanese Navy commencing their attack run on Battleship Row.
Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, it was a time when it became increasingly likely that we would lose the war. There are different ways to lose a war. If we had simply lost or surrendered, Japan would be scorned and ridiculed by the world, and Japan would cease to be a bad country. By sacrificing our lives to the end and ramming into an enemy ship or aircraft carrier, we were able to show the world the samurai spirit of Japanese men, and we would be looked up to by the world. A movement would arise to leave behind a Japan with a noble spirit. It would also give Japanese people left for future generations the courage and pride of knowing that there were ancestors who tried to protect Japan to that extent. They would be able to have a strong feeling that they too must protect this country. Even if we lose this war, it will be a stepping stone to rising again and creating a strong country. Some people think the opposite way, and think that rather than dying in vain, it would be better to survive and focus on the country's reconstruction and future. However, in the spiritualism of Japan at that time, the aesthetic was to leave future generations to deal with the future and to die with dignity. They felt sorry and ashamed that they were the only ones who survived while their comrades died. They thought surviving was a bad thing. They thought it was their turn next. That was what it meant to be Japanese. Spiritualism, samurai spirit, and loyalty that only Japanese people can understand. There was no Nanjing Massacre. There was no comfort women issue or forced labor. People who were struggling to make ends meet were employed at a higher salary than soldiers.
Um. This effort, probably made with models in the early 70s, and some footage used in the movie "Midway" in 1976, is totally inaccurate. The fact that the Japanese and American fliers did their all. I don't have to name them because they all sacrificed themselves for their cause; and hopefully every historian knows their names
It must have been terrible for the sailors of those ships, or the people in Pearl Harbor, the way the attack started, without warning, not only were they caught off guard, but the emergency ammo for the antiaircraft weapons on the ships had been locked up by some stupid commander, thus they could not even shoot at the planes.
Luckily Admital Nagumo decided not to go back for a third run @ oil containers as requested by his flight leader on.sight thinking that by this time the US defense would be stiffened, choosing to protect his carriers & flight crews instead of going all out fof the kill.
They should have asked Gerry Anderson's special effect miniature team (Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, UFO, Space 1999) at the time for all FX. They would have made a far better job. The quality for such a big super production was very poor.
For that time extremely impressive. Especially the scenes showing the whole harbor with explosions ect. Panoramic view. Very hard to do and look good. They did a excellent job.
At 4:32 I expected to see a guy in a rubber monster suit arise from the water to see what the fuss was.
GOZIRA!
@@ソニー株主 Yup !!! ;)
lmao
well it is a Toho film
It‘s so amazing to describe Japan`s aerial attack on Pearl Harbor realistically without using computer graphic technology.
That was SO realistic, I was almost expecting to see Godzilla walk into view!
The best comment from a young kid that I ever saw was why old Japanese planes from the war were not saved for future movie making purposes. He didn't quite understand why every single weapon of war that Japan used during the war was blown up or sunk in various harbors.
Those that survived the war were immediately scrapped by the Americans.

This scene really could’ve used more shots of shrubs being slightly blown around by low flying wake turbulence.

A stale fart is better than the Pearl Harbor movie. How that got made and why is something I will never understand.
If those modern dd didn't show up at the bomb scene, Peral Harbour might still be better, altho still meh compare to this movie and Tora Tora Tora
"Pearl Harbor" is shit, absolute shit. "Tora! Tora! Tora!" is the best non-fiction movie about the attack.
Actually quite well done. Thanks for sharing
Besides being totally untrue, you mean? The Japanese didn't approach Pearl by diving through a valley on their way in. But their soecial effect battle scenes got much better by the time Toa Tora Tora was filmed.

Ah, the moment Japan f'ed around... though the moment they found out would be another six months in coming. Then the real pain began.
In the U.S.A. this movie was released as " I Bombed Pearl Harbor ".
It must have been terrible for the sailors of those ships, or the people in Pearl Harbor, the way the attack started, without warning, not only were they caught off guard, but the emergency ammo for the antiaircraft weapons on the ships had been locked up by some stupid commander, thus they could not even shoot at the planes.
04-06-1942 Midway. And Operation Hailstone on Truk Lagoon 17-18 February 1944. You're welcome...
Compared to the brilliant Tora Tora Tora, this was just painful and a tad insulting to watch.

何故、昭和天皇は統帥権を発動して停戦しなかったのでしょうか？
伏見野宮博康王（昭和天皇より25歳年上で海軍軍人）が、暗躍していたそうです。明治憲法には、天皇は、陸海軍を統帥する旨が明記してあります。伏見野宮博康王は、皇室の海軍軍人で日露戦争に勝利しました。国力さは、10対１でしたが当時のロシアはロマノフ王朝で、レーニンが中心となり所謂内戦状態でした。明石大佐が、レーニンに接近し革命運動を手を貸し内部から国力を弱め、バルチック艦隊を東郷平八郎が撃滅し二百三高地を乃木希典・児玉源太郎が攻略したから勝利できたのです。太平洋戦争は、状況が違います。国力差は、２０対１です。アメリカの内部工作も不可能でした。既に、暗号も解読され日本のスパイが、春帆楼から真珠湾を偵察している事も知っていました。真珠湾攻撃は、ルーズベルト大統領が仕込んだ餌だったのです。リメンバー・パールハーバーのキャッチフレーズが、欲しかった事は後の資料から明らかになっています。軍部が、伏見野宮博康王を担ぎ出して昭和天皇に圧力をかけ、御前会議で四方の海（明治天皇の詩）を詠んで、木戸内大臣に感想を求めただけで開戦が決定しました。戦法としては、ハワイ真珠湾奇襲しかなかったのです。今になって考えれば、ハワイに上陸し日本の基地を造りアメリカ本土を攻撃していれば、勝算は有ったかもしれません。しかし、南雲機動部隊は第二次攻撃をしませんでした。完全に作戦負けです。
