      It should have been called Tanguy et Laverdure anyways (also in French) - because that's the comic series it is based on.
      Maybe that's also a reason why they used Mirages instead of Rafales - the comics are based on Mirages

      I'm not gonna lie, i'm Italian so obviously i cant help but being biased against the cousins. So...
      CdA, imho, is almost as good as Top Gun as an air combat movie. Dubs ruin the movie, like usual really, so watch it in french with subtitles for those who didin't.
      Actually, i have some friends who enjoyed this more then Top Gun once i showed them the subtitled version.
      Obviously, we will never have a realistic movie about jet fighters. Radio comms are too "boring" for a cinema audience, the engagement are not that thrilling and directors would still be limited by how much an air force is willing to give to them.
      I'm stillm hoping for a sequel with Rafales

      @@migga86 You wouldn't believe how much work it is to actually translate things with the same meaning. The first draft is very often a quite nonsensical direct translation...I heard a couple dub directors complain that often the script of a US war movie that often contains the word "INCOMING!!!", the first time round would contain the line "Come in" which...if you do not know the context or care about it, is an obvious mistranslation.
      So if the dub is cheap...weeeellllll...

    • @migga86
      @migga86 3 года назад

      @@Chrinik I've seen a documentary about it. When the translators work through a script they usually create a relatively literal translation as well as write down side notes about context or other variants. This is then used by another person to create the dialogue part for the VO actors. Only then the VO actor goes in and tries to lip-sync it if it's a real people movie or just delivers his lines on anime and some special hush-hush movies. Even then they tend to get the lines/scenes out of sequence, so they are sometimes confused about what lines they deliver.
      So it has two places where it can be pushed into the wrong direction. It also highly depends on how detailed the script is. If it's missing the context of "Fighter plane pulls up to hostile plane" before that line, the joke will get missed on the translation. It's not a glorious job and the creative liberties for the VO actors are sometimes very limited - some times because of the low budget for the translation and some times because of too compartmentalized scenes.

      partly yes partly not.. the dogfight itself was mostly CGI..but they did managed to film some formations over Paris during bastille day (the formation with the tankers and multiple fighters are real).. they filmed aerial "background" footage but the dpogfight itself was "CGId" into and it shows as you can tell there is something wrong , also why they avoided showing close ups of the Mirages as much as posible.. the rest of the movie was over 95% real footage wich is impressive ..
      I wish they had used a Rafale instead of a 2000 in the first dogfight as while i love the 2000 you became a bit "too much" of it in this movie as its nearly the sole plane used

    A bit of history:
    This movie is not really intended to be realistic. In fact, it is a legacy of a 60's comics form the same name : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanguy_et_Laverdure
    From that comics were born two TV series ... the oldest in 1967 to 1970 : ruclips.net/video/bZVsVd0vKQE/видео.html
    Featuring F-100 Sabre Jet, Fouga Magister, MysterIV ... etc ..
    Then later, from 1988 to 1991 featuring Mirage2000, MirageF-1, Jaguar ... etc ... : ruclips.net/video/GI2fXWjGLxM/видео.html
    Personal tenderness as I flew on one of the airframe used in the movie. Actually, one of my first formation flight as young cadet in 2004 : ruclips.net/video/YEaXo-IJfV0/видео.html
    Thank you Mover for the review. Was nice to see you reacting to the aileron rolls and the chicks. ;-)

      @Patrick Brennan Mirages are great fighters. Originally designed as interceptors against Soviet bombers they climb faster than most jets. They became multi role with time though, but they are in use in different air forces. They are used in operations with allies today with all of their use I think the last we lost was back in Kosovo. And we only lost one back then

    • @spebonne
      @spebonne 4 года назад +12

      Also, Mirages can be placed on a 2minutes launch alert where other fighters will be on a 5 minute alert. That was made because France wasn't part of NATO during the cold war. After 9 11, we have put mirages back on a 2min alert ready to be started and launched in 2 minutes. Last year they broke a few windows north of Paris launching to intercept a private jet who wasn't responding. Made the national news here

    The story is a bit cheesy, but most of the air footage are real, they modified a 2000L wing tank to put cameras in it, and put under a Mirage 2000B wing (twin seat). The camera guy was in the backseat.
    The actors did a few flights to know how it’s like, but cockpit scenes are fake off course.
    The movie is using Mirage 2000C (Fox 1 shooter), which is second line now. But the cockpits shown in the movie is Mirage 2000-5F (Fox 3 shooter).
    The Mirage 2000 production was already shut down when the movie was produced.

    By the way the "ID" around 9:30 is, just like the "decoy" a very poor translation
    In the French version they use the english word "Flares, Flares" (the French word is "Leurres" which translates to "decoy" so it's a bit weird)
    In the original version the guy says "Bonjour monsieur, gendarmerie nationale" which basically means "Hello sir, this is the police"
    I think a better translation for this joke would be something like "goodday sir, do you know why I pulled you over?"
    Honestly I think the dubbing was rushed
    And now that I've watched it all

    14:13 "Hello!" hahahahha
    At 16:12 and onward, the woman in the AlphaJet is sort of his "boss" and it's her first time in a fighter jet. She's basically trying to screw him over for shooting that black Mirage 2000 at the beginning, so he's showing her what it feels like to be in a dogfight. The actress was actually in the plane doing all the stunts, I believe (you can see her skin reacts to Gs).
    The film was made in partnership with the Armée de l'Air (that's why it sounds like a advert at times and looks awesome) and so the main cast had the opportunity to fly (passenger) in jets with actual fighter pilots.
    The entirety of the scenes where you see planes flying are real (except maybe the ones above Paris, they do look fake to me too), only the ones from inside the cockpits when you see the actor's face are in a studio. In order to shoot the aerial scenes, they used a modified fuel tank, or something along those lines, with cameras in it.
    As you said, the film is a bit cheesy at times, even with the real voices, but the flying scenes are just amazingly beautiful. And the Mirage 2000 is the most beautiful plane ever (French bias haha).

Supposedly they reduced the minimum altitude requirements to 3 meters and minimum spacing to 1 meter, though I'd hazard a guess that wasn't over populated areas. Looks like they were pretty dedicated to showing off the Mirage, and did a good job of it.

    Great break down of events such as this. Your commentary from an insiders point of view is what i like most about your channel. Keep up the good content.

    I've been looking forward to this review and it has been worth the wait. If only for Mover's genuine big smile when the Mirage went through the sound barrier at 100 feet AGL..
    Thanks, Mover, it's been my favourite military aviation movie by miles.
    The dialogue in French is so much more funny and very french. Almost every sentence has a joke in it. I can understand that the English translation struggled with keeping as much as possible of that nonchalant delivery alive, but it did a surprisingly well enough job. The original dialogue style is very similar to Mover casually remarking that he likes how the French roll after another (beautiful) aileron roll shot.
    Also very funny, but probably not intentionally funny, that the situation titles were in German in this international version.

    Man the french movie with subtitles is so good. I watched it a few years ago. And you know the movie is good when Mover forgets hes supposed to be ripping it apart in the middle lol.

    Great movie to comment on. I remember watching it here in Serbia in cinemas back in 2006! I loved it for aerial photography...

      Good point, except in this movie it looks kinda “art official”, in flight demo by some “crack” French pilot looks really good. I’ve had a privilege to watch one performing rolls and square loops in a really low overcast sky, that pilot had what it takes to put very impressive show!

    Reading the information about the filming of this makes it even more impressive to be honest - not only did they take away the safety restrictions but they actually got the permission to do the flying over Paris as well, they just had to do it on actual Bastille day. I think I'll actually get the full movie!

    They actually used a modified Mirage as the camera ship so it could keep up with them, hence no green screen. Its all real footage
