This movie was the reason why I fell in love with the P-40 Warhawk. She may not have been the best plane in the war. But she got the job done. Long live the shark mouth.
The P-40 still has its moments but it really holds a symbol of american pride. It doesn't have to perform better on account of how streamlined and simple yet elegant as it is, it can be a marvelous showbird though she cannot turnfight a zero for shit
Warmachine38 Seriously you need to look up a movie called "Death Race" made for TV in 1973, Real P-40s in it! Stars Lloyd Bridges, Doug McLure and Eric Braden (German dude from RAT PATROL) www.imdb.com/title/tt0069953/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3
Basically it is common practice in the US Forces for higher ranking officers visiting troops in the field to ask them about what town they are from, what they did before joining the Army etc, as way of getting to know them. So in a normal instance the conversation would go something like "I'm from Moline, Illinois." and the officer would respond with something like "Oh, Moline is a nice town, I have a cousin who lives there" or something like that, instead of "Tough Shit".
I wonder how many people know that the soldier who says, 'I'm from Moline, Illinois' is Don Calfa. He later played the character of 'Paulie The Hit Man' who kept trying to kill Bernie in Weekend At Bernie's, remember? Don also had a leading role in the first Return of the Living Dead film. He played 'Ernie' who owned the funeral home that the character's barricade themselves in from the zombies.
"Vaya con Dios my friend! To Hollywood ...and Gloryyy!!" This scene is awesome! That moment in time where everybody lost their inocense. It captures all the madness of men from a nation that just got involved in a dam war and nobody seems to understand what the hell they are doing or whats happening! Love it! Captain Kelso onboard his P-40 is amazing!
"I wanna hear what they sound like, lemme hear 'em yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang yang"
My favorite movie of all time! Not to be a killjoy, but most all WW2 fighters used total-loss charging for the hydraulic system, which inclued the solenoids that actuated the guns; they wouldn't be able to fire on battery power alone. Additionally, most aircraft of the era had a fail-safe killswitch for the armament systems, whereby the centerline and wing bomb pylons, as well as the cannon or machine guns would lock shut unless the landing gear was retracted and the aircraft was in flight.
In this scene, Belushi actually did fall of the wing of the plane. He sustained a head injury, and was hospitalized for several days, but Spielberg left the shot in the movie as it fit Kelso's eccentric character.
"A secret airbase down in Pomona" LMAO, I always say this line whenever I have to drive through Pomona My crush on John Belushi went over the top after this movie came out, can't believe I was 9 when this came out! Time flies man.....
Don't get me started on what I say whenever I drive through Barstow, I usually have a cup of coffee with me, (clears throat) "Pomona, which way is Pomona? That way (points out window) towards LA" Then I take a swig of my coffee and spit it out the window! LOL Sometimes I have passengers with me and they don't get it! (shame on them!) My mother however, usually says oh crap here we go again........
Huah, from former 1/5Cav, 1Cav trooper, Blackjack Brigade. One of my favorite comedies of all time. Sorely under appreciated, stellar cast...and the only scenes rivaling Wild Bill, were Hollis Wood on the sub. Well, I take that back. Ned Beatty and ack ack gun "Don't you DARE fire THAT gun in THIS HOUSE!" LMFAO. I've loved this movie since I was a kid. Remember watching it over and over on HBO back in the 80s.
At the 2:15 mark Belushi fell off the leading edge of the wing and landed on his face and was hurt. You can tell the impact was hard. It wasn't a stunt man.
Going to this movie is still the greatest outbreak of laughter from any movie theater I've ever been to. I'm mean people were in stitches. Belly laughs!
“I’m from Moline Illinois” // “Tough s***” OMG I laughed out loud. I know Spielberg disowned this film but this scene alone is 3 minutes of rapid fire comedy gold. And that John Williams score is amazing.
It's a lie that Spielberg disowned "1941". In an interview he said, "I don’t dislike the movie at all. I’m not embarrassed by it - I just think that it wasn’t funny enough.” Meanwhile, the only film he has ever said he regretted making, or would disown, was "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"...
@Saito56 You are so right! Didn't mean to rain on your parade! I happen to work for a company that rebuilds and restores old WW2-era fighters...so I couldn't help it! The "fire" that shoots out of the gunbarrels is actually an oxy-acetylene system...look closely and you'll notice the blue color of the flames-like a welder's torch at idle. A lot of old warbird owners install them to simulate guns firing during their flying routines at airshows. Great flick, though! Belushi was a genius!
any body know why the two guys on the ferris wheel change places in one scene not the easiest thing to do, was spielberg trying to break the reality or just bad coninuity great film!
Those 50 cals wouldn't have fired on the ground. There was a WOW "WEIGHT ON WHEELS" switch inside the left landing gear strut that allowed the solenoids for the guns to energize after take-off. As soon as the plane touched the ground the switch would open and deenergize the solenoids. Great scene though😅
2:15 That was a BAD fall Belushi took right on his head! In the making of documentary, Spielberg says Belushi wasn't hurt at all but man, that is hard to believe he wasn't. At least sore as hell for days later. Neck, head, shoulders, etc.
That is a pretty cool piece of information. I did not know that. Any info on how they test fired them on the ground? Plane on jackstands? Or safety systems disabled? Engine running so hydraulics could work? I know they had to have the tail raised of course.
They didn't HAVE to have the tail raised for them to fire. That was a practical concern. It was easier to construct a backstop for the boresighting operation with the guns not pointed at the sky.
Dang I thought I was going to die when this movie first came out when I heard them say there was a secret Japanese airbase in Pomona because I was raised in Pomona and was still living there at that time! As a side note, I found out there was an airport at one time just a few blocks away that was active from the 30's to thelearly fifties. Burnley airport. I don't think it was secret or Japanese....
In this scene at 2:00 John Belushi falls off his airplane wing, we've seen it a hundred times, what we didn't know it was a real accident and Belushi was hospitalized for several days, but Spielberg left the shot in the movie as it fit Kelso's eccentric character.
@deedsie The info about the guns is very interesting. You seem pretty knowledgeable. But didn't they sight in their guns by test firing them on the ground? If not, how else would they have done it??
BELUSHI actually took that headline no stunt man anybody else would've felt that in the morning .NOT HIM with no sleep and an 8 Ball for breakfast of champions doughnuts cereal and cigarettes ...RIP
ahhh, one of the greatest movies of all time!
What movie is it?
@@deralbtraumritter8573 '1941' directed by Steven Spielberg

HaHa! Me too. Was 7 when this movie came out and still love it!
It performed truly well lower altitudes even better then mustang
One of my favorite films of all time. Belushi was brilliant in this movie. This was my favorite role of his.
"I'm from Moline, Illinois!" "Tough shit!"
Love this film....one of the most underrated movies of all time.
Underrated gem. Wild Bill is awesome, he's what I call a cross between Yosemite Sam, Taz, Animal (Muppets), and Howlin Mad Murdock.
John Belushi was hilarious
1:30 _"I'm from Moline, Illinois."_

There is nothing better than John Belushi & Warren Oates
on screen together!!!.
Two of the best to ever do it.
Those two were great at playing nutjobs.
I liked Warren Oates a lot in Stripes as well. He was good at comedy. Also watched him in Race with the Devil last weekend. Haha.

We need more guys like Belushi and Oats now a days.
EVERYONE SHOULD GET THE DVD!!!!!! Lots of great interviews, commentary, ect..... Maybe someone uploaded it....
I enjoy the spirit of this film, and these scene is just FUN to watch.
John Belushi knocking out the tiny soldier is a prelude to Indiana Jones smacking the german soldier near the airbase
Going to this movie is still the greatest outbreak of laughter from any movie theater I've ever been to. I'm mean people were in stitches. Belly laughs!
I seriously forgot about this movie. Probably haven't seen it since the mid 90's. A shooting online game my nephew plays made me think of this scene.
this movie is genius , extremely under-rated
great ensemble cast , non-stop laughs , Belushi in his prime !
Great movie, Great hilarious scene 🤣🤣🤣🤣R I P Warren Oates and John Belushi ✝️💐
This is AWESOME movie for the 1979 it bomb at the box office when it came out but when it the VHS it was a hit also on DVD to

The unholy mix between Steven Spielberg quality moviemaking and "Scary Movie" style storytelling.
2:16 Apparently, this was a real accidental fall that required hospitalization. Thanks, Wikipedia.
That always looked like a bad fall, and I thought it was just a really skilled stuntman. You are correct - it's really him, really taking a bad fall..
any body know why the two guys on the ferris wheel change places in one scene not the easiest thing to do, was spielberg trying to break the reality or just bad coninuity great film!
"We were somwhere around Barstow, at the edge of the desert... when the drugs began to take hold"...
I love how he takes a drink then spits it out.

As a trucker I can attest to the fact that Barstow is indeed the middle of nowhere 😢
Lemme hear your guns! I wanna hear what they sound like!! Nyahnyahnyahnyahnyah!!!! 😂😂
Vaya con Dios my friend. To Hollywood and Glory, Wild Bill Kelso. Wonderful to see Warren Oates and John Belushi in a scene together,

Spielberg movie brought out the best in entertainment!! Genius is what he was!!
Don't forget Slim Pickens !!! He was great too...
Pickens in the japanese sub.watch that knife boy! LOL
This is my favorite movie ever.
Belushi wasn't ment to land on his head as it put him in hospitle, but Spielberg kept it in the movie.
I love the chaos of it all.😅
I remember as a kid watching this with my Dad. He was laughing so hard at the characters in this movie

2:20 that fall busts me up every time.

Sweet Jesus! I never knew that was Sarge from Stripes!

Viya Con Dios my friend! To Hollywood! To Glory!!!
There are so many people in the US like the John Belushi and Warren Oates characters. God help anyone choosing to go to war with the US.
I'm from Moline, Illinois.
The best scene of the movie
ummm...no it wasn't.
2:08 I remember hearing some where when Belushi flipped of that wing he actually hurt his self pretty bad, might be on the DVD commentary.
Citrus P40 Warbonnet!! Just love this plane!
Anyone else notice that the "pinup girl" poster he grabs looks like the Vargas cover of The Cars Candy-O (from 1979...)
