    The original Midway version was actually pretty good. I wouldn't change a thing where that is concerned.

    This is from the first scene of the 1976 version of Midway. It was taken from the movie 30 Seconds Over Tokyo and placed in Midway to save money. Most of the battle scenes in Midway were taken from other films most notably Tora Tora Tora.

      They take a lot of scenes vom Tora, Tora, Tora, Storm over Pazific and 30 Seconds Over Tokio. Anyway it is a good movie if you know the complexity of the battle of Midway. And I like it more than the 2016er movie from Roland Emerich, even it has a few good scenes.

      @@chrisweber7460 it's much better than the emerich version from a narrative point of view yet it's far from perfect. First it follows the old flawed traditional western narrative thinking the japanese carriers were 5 mn from launching a devastating attack when they were destroyed which is completely false and the destruction of the torpedo squadrons allowed the bombers to come without opposition which is also false and second too many scenes depict planes which were actually not at midway, too many recycled scenes and quite a lots of events happening in the battle are just ignored like the confusion over who should have attacked which carriers during the morning US strike or the fate of the Yorktown. In all honesty, a movie the like of tora tora tora is still to be made for the battle of midway.

    I got to see Midway (1976) in the theater in "Sensurround", that loud-ass mega bass sound system that came and went in the 70's
    It gave that opening scene with planes starting their engines on the deck of the carrier a feeling like you were actually on the deck of that carrier right next to those planes.
    I was 12 and we sat in the front row because of course you do. And I remember these huge box shaped speaker horns lined up across the wall below the screen. The opening of each horn must have been 4 feet high and 2 feet across.

      @@recoswell It was just another gimmick like "3D" was in the 50s. The last movie I think to use it was the theatrical version of the Battlestar Galactica TV pilot, which I also saw in the theater to great disappointment.
      The effect had lost a lot of its appeal by then or else the speakers were not as loud as before.

    Doolittle raid was a serious blow to Japanese pride and confidence. Japanese leaders were complacent about their repeated victories against the United States at that time. This raid was an ominous sign for Japan`s war against the United States.

    Short field take off require flaps in down position. They realize later they did not have flaps down. In the new Midway film Doolittle also takes off with " 0 " flaps. Doolittle was an experienced flyer...doubt he would do this.

      RetroSoundsDA The Doolittle Tokyo Raiders was a group eighty men from all walks of life who flew into history on April 18, 1942. They were all volunteers and this was a very dangerous mission. Sixteen B-25 bombers took off from the deck of the USS Hornet, led by (then Col.) Jimmy Doolittle. Nothing to do with MIDWAY!

      Sorry Billy, but the raid on Tokyo has everything to do with the battle of Midway. In the aftermath of the attack on Tokyo, the Japanese Imperial Command came to the stark conclusion that in order to keep their territorial gains intact, the American aircraft carriers had to be nullified as an effective force in the Pacific. Hence, their desire to draw out and engage the American carriers in a decisive battle at Midway. Too bad for them, we had some outstanding intel, some luck, and a lot of brave aviators and naval personnel.

      Actually it does.
      By the spring of 1942, Japan was convinced that they had the USA on the ropes. Their focus was on total domination of Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean - because that's where the resources were.
      The Doolittle Raid did very little real damage, but it shocked and embarrassed the Japanese military leadership. They had thought the Home Islands were invulnerable, and yet here were Americans bombing Tokyo! What if the USA bombed the Emperor?
      So they decided to finish the job by taking Midway, which they thought would either force the USA to negotiate, or could be used as a base to attack Pearl Harbor again.
      The Midway operation was quickly put together. There were supposed to be 6 carriers, but for various reasons only 4 were available. There was such a rush that the IJN did not change their code books on the usual schedule, giving our codebreakers an easier job.
      And then incredibly courageous US Navy airmen pulled off a miracle - at enormous cost.
      Point is, without the Doolittle raid, Midway wouldn't have happened.
