Default Fury

we at the museum helped do the Canadian media release for the film , that was a busy day for us , many interviews , but a great plug for the museum , Billy was all dressed up to play the part of Fury with Bart playing one of the other tanks, lots of footage shot by the media outlets and it gave our last tank day of the year a great boost, the movie had some great camera angles and CGI, the US infantry moving from behind the Sherman's was real bad Hollywood , and the close up of the MG-42 gave you a great idea of what never to get in front of, and the combat lock on the loader's hatch seemed to be NS,

Kelly"s Heroes, a true classic!
The time in which it was produced reeked of the 60's love and groovieness, man.
I still love Das Boot...

Default Wonder when it will come to DVD by summer

Hi Guys

Reading the comments on spotting equipment irregularities, thought what fun it would be get Fury on DVD and show it at the Weare Summer Rally nothing liken showing it in front of couple hundred MV enthusiasts.

When ever I start picking out the MV problems when watching a movie, my wife kiddingly tells me to shut up and watch the movie. But after all these years she spots the military vehicles particularly CMPs in the movie and records them.

Cheer Phil

I have seen the film and its great, In the opening scene the silhouetted disabled German panther and panzer armour I think is also genuine as I think I know who it belongs too. It's got great action all the way through, I don't want to spoil the storyline for others, I just wish it would of gone on for longer, perhaps in the directors cut?. One criticism is I wish they gave Scott Eastwood a few lines.

Kevin.

No, Bruce supplied the other German vehicles but not those two tanks.
