    Entire script of Incredibles in this scene is just amazing. Word for word she sounds like a fighter pilot (hinting at her military history back in the good days), "VFR on top", "vectors to the initial", "angels 10", "Track east", "buddy spiked", "transmitting in the blind guard".
    Too bad he chose to focus on something else entirely, because every pilot you speak to will be amazed at how good this scene is for KIDS MOVIE

    Elastigirl's line delivery was a little too perfect, but my god the TERROR in her voice because her CHILDREN were there...That fear is something only a parent can fully understand, or a very empathetic person. Without them there, she might've been more calm, but with them there, there is that raw, primal fear for lives that mean more to you than your own ever will and I LOVE the scene for it.

    To be fair to the Dunkirk pilot landing rather than ditching it seems like most pilots did not survive ditching spitfires. Their engines are so heavy they sunk extremely quickly. Also despite appearances they glide very well so although the specific altitude in the film is not realistic the general premise of running out of fuel but still shooting down a dive bomber is not completely impossible.

    • @its_clean
      @its_clean 4 года назад +22

      This is my understanding as well. The Spitfire was known for having very good gliding characteristics and there are a few anecdotes of them coasting for many miles with damaged engines or no power. That being said, it's certainly an exaggeration that Tom Hardy, already being at such a low altitude, would have been able to turn and maneuver to shoot down the Stuka and still have airspeed and altitude left to glide elegantly to the end of the beach. Theoretically possible? Yes, maybe, at the very limits of natural physics. Not very likely though.
      To Jello's point, it would have made much more sense to either immediately ditch at the waterline or go in for a quick belly landing on the beach nearer the ships. But that would have required an undignified trashing of the plane, and we can all agree that the only proper way to dispose of a Spitfire is to light it up with a flare gun and stand heroically silhouetted in the flames as it burns :)

    • @dutbud9049
      @dutbud9049 4 года назад +9

      ​@@Thoreaux When you turn a plane, you are splitting the lift the wing generates into a horizontal and a vertical component. The more you bank, the more horizontal lift is generated and the less vertical lift. Turning will also increase your angle of attack and create more drag, slowing you further. If you get too slow, air will no longer adhere to the wing and you lose all lift. That's a stall. At the altitude and speed he was flying, there's no way he could have recovered in time and he would have just nose dived. He used his last maneuver by taking out the Stuka, so he had to glide down.

    Fun fact: the original end of ID4 had Randy Quaid's character show up in his Stearman with a missile duct-taped to the side. He then proceeds to fly into the mother ship as shown. Audience reaction was poor as it was an obvious suicide move, so they took the already finished shot of a Stearman flying slowly into the ship and changed it to an F/A-18. The miracles of CGI. If you look closely you'll see Quaid's ship jink back & forth dodging alien fire in a way unlike how a Hornet moves but consistent with how a biplane would.
    I hope this explains the odd physics of this scene..

      The Spitfire was a very aerodynamically clean design with an impressive glide ratio, but if you lose the engine at 500 feet as shown in the film that will maybe buy you a handful of seconds at most. At that altitude you are going to be on the ground within a minute, these planes didn't defy physics.
      I know there was a real Spitfire pilot that landed gear up on the beach at Dunkirk after he was hit, but pretty sure he didn't glide for an hour and shoot down a Stuka in the process.

  • @grantpiper1223

    About the spitfire that crashed on the beach rather than ditch in the sea close to the Allied troops and ships in the movie "Dunkirk" - Kenneth Branagh was setting up an actual story of a Spitfire that crashed on the beach during the evacuation and remained buried in sand for several decades afterward.

    • @ihavenoname3014
      @ihavenoname3014 4 года назад +4

      And even more to the point, that Spitfire that crashed on the beach in real life is the one IN THE MOVIE. It was recovered in the 1970s, returned to England, restored to flying order and they portrayed the action of the plane, WITH the plane. Crazy, right? The only difference is, the actual pilot didn't burn it. It sat on the beach until sand buried it.

    I picked up a novelization of ID4 at a 2nd hand store. In the book they mention F-15 Eagles bring flown, I'm not sure why it was changed. In real life, the F-15 Eagle was notable for possessing more than 1 Thrust to Weight Ratio so it could accelerate vertically.... most other jets including the F-18 can not. My suspicion is the screenplay was set and they changed the details without considering that.

      Even though it helped them, they are not proud of that movie, in fact, another guy that reviewed airplane movies literally said that if anybody mentions that movie, they get a $50 fine, apparently they have to buy everybody drinks and also, apparently all of their nicknames are because they did something stupid or embarrassing, so probably not "Iceman" "maverick" or anything like that.

    For Independence Day, the impact doesnt kill the ship, the ship fires its laser and hits the f18, therefore detonating inside the ship

    31:00 I think he didn’t ditch bc the implication was that ditching wasn’t safe enough under the circumstances. The other pilot who was shot down chose a water landing over ditching too. I wonder if they were not high enough? Or was the process not perfected yet in 1940?

    29:12 Spitfire flaps don’t partly extend, they’re either retracted or fully deployed.. & Ditching a Spit was never a great idea if you had options, they tended to flip and sink quick! I agree though, the extended glide scene was a bit silly.. In addition, the model they burned at the end could have been more accurate. Seeing the metal pole that held the prop on was obvious..

    All the other pilots in Independence Day didn't have to sacrifice themselves. Russell's missile was jammed so he had to fly it in. I'm not sure there were any other ones left, it's been a while since I've seen it.

    I loved Iron Eagle in the 80s, but as I got older, I realized how hokey it was. Also saw he has magic fuel and rounds - fuel goes down, then up, then down again. Not a pilot, but pretty sure the sudden loss and addition of a few thousand pounds is going to affect the flight characteristics of the bird

    In terms of building tolerance to pulling g's, I'm just longing for the day that someone comes up with a roller-coaster that requires you actually wear a g-suit to ride it. Most roller-coasters max at like 4 g's, with the record being a bit over 6 g's, I believe. As mentioned here, fighter pilots will pull 9 g's (but, unlike a fighter pilot, you technically don't need to be conscious to ride a roller-coaster!)

    On the Dunkirk bit, I would guess that they were going for the metaphor over reality. A damaged, knocked out war machine managing to just barely land and survive. A successful failure. E.g., a metaphor for the British military at Dunkirk

    They definitely coulda made the climax of Independence Day better without sacrificing the drama. Have Russel slowly pitch the jet upwards implying with the alien weapon powering up faster. Russell goes full throttle, and the jet struggles to keep up the speed. Engines sputter, will he make it?!?! Boom yes, he does and becomes the hero!!
