Mein Lieblingsfigur damals in dem Film und bis heute ist eindeutig Commander Owens.Wiso kann ich nicht genau sagen.Vieleicht liegt es an der Szene, wo er und Lasky sich das letzte mal auf dem Träger sehen.Er schien wohl schon gewusst zu haben, das er nicht mehr zurück kommt, und die sich erst Jahrzehnte später wieder sehen werden.
Recently used the War Thunder mission Editor to create a scenario where you had to defend Pearl Harbor from Zeros and Kates, while using a fully loaded F-14B and this tune playing. Shit was legit fire ^^
Frankly, when I first saw this movie for the first time in 1980, I was upset that the US didn't take out the Japanese when they had the chance to. Decades later in my mid-50s, I still hold that position. Fellow officers were tasked in defending the homeland, not having the luxury of debating the quantum theories of time travel 😮.
The thing about changing history, theoretically, is that you change EVERYTHING, including many of the lives that brought-about what we have become, perhaps even preventing some people FROM existing. Don't fret about changing the past, learn from it, and prevent the same type of mistakes from being repeated in the future.

I loved this film as a kid when I saw it in the theater! Still do! Before the film _Top Gun_ came out, this was perhaps the US Navy’s most expensive recruiting ad, albeit unintentionally.
Captain Yelland( Kirk Douglas): This is the captain, I am speaking to every man aboard this ship. In the past few hours many things have happened; rumors of nuclear attacks and a third world war are totally untrue. We have no reason to believe that any aggression has been taken against our homes our families. I believe what we stumbled across is not man-made but a phenomena of nature, one that can't be explained. This phenomena is the storm in which the Nimitz went through less than 18 hours ago, the storm has had some effect on time as we know it, it created a portal, a door into another era. Today is December 7, 1941... I'm sure we are all aware of the significance of this date in this place in history. We are going to fight a battle that was lost before most of you were born. This time, with God's help, its going to be different... Good Luck.
This movie came out the same year I was born, and remains one of my favorites to this day. I even have a model of an F-14 Tomcat in the colors of the Jolly Rogers as seen in the movie.
Yup, same as I. My step-father was stationed in NAS Jacksonville, in squadron HS-9. He remembers the Iran hostage crisis when the Nimitz was at the "Gonzo Station", off the coast of Iran, in the Persian Gulf.
This music really does take us back in time. I can still remember the first time I saw this movie as a little kid that only fueled my dream of flying Tomcats in the squadron with the skull & bones on the stabilizers.. and being CAG. Goosebumps to this day.
The Jolly Rogers' legacy still lives on even now, with the Super Hornets of VFA-103 proudly wearing the same livery VF-84's Tomcats did when they made their Hollywood debut over 40 years ago.
@@mcmjr405 This music is also played aboard the USS Nimitz when they conduct at-sea replenishment operations; each ship has a distinct piece of music that is played when the replenishment cycle is complete, known as "breakaway music", with the Nimitz using the theme from the movie.
Brings back memories of watching this over and over with my parents and brother who all passed away a year ago from covid. My brother and I were jet freaks.
This film has not aged well at all. Aside from its pretty grandiose and amazing aircraft carrier scenes compliments of the USN likely for propaganda it went nowhere. All this tension and buildup to the Japanese attack and then the film is over without much having happened except some slight suggestion of time travel at the end. In its day it was pleasant entertainment but after the Sopranos/Game of Thrones that upped the ante on entertainment over the last couple decades old B movies like this don't stand a candle. That said I remember the soundtrack as amazing and to this day it's the only part of the film that has held up well.
Better than Top Gun 1 or 2. I know it sounds crazy but I've watched all three repeatedly and this one sticks the landing. It's more philosophical and interesting, with action too. A product of 70s anxiety and longing for a more heroic past.
Would be cool to see this remade with an aircraft carrier arriving on 9/09/2001 near New York. Tom Cruise starring as Mr. Lasky. Josh Duhamel as Cmdr. Owens, Kate Beckinsale as Laurel Scott, and Tom Hanks as the Captain of the ship. Throw in Denzel Washington or Laurence Fishburne as the senator. Directed by Christopher Nolan. I know Nolan likes to reuse the same actors, so they could change from Cruise to DiCaprio or from Josh Duhamel to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, either way, it would be amazing to watch.
