I thought WWII in Color was okay. But dissapointing. I wouldve thought I wouldve seen Color footage of the War. Yes, the actual war, the men of the front lines fighting or production lines, world leaders speaches and wartime color training films. They ended up showing about 30 minutes of actual combat footage during all 4 hours. The rest I have seen before and I think they should of titled it "The General Past in color : 1937 to 1945 In Europe, and the Pacific." I think they tried to cram everything, The War, the People, the Feelings, and drama and etc, into 4 Hours of slowly narated dribble. I give it a 3 1/2 our of ten.

I've copied some Footage I've came across, and Have about 1 and a half hours of German Color Footage, with combat or amazing training movies, even germans fixing a busted Mk IV by replacing a couple wheels, and fixing some turret problems. And I could get the Gi stuff too.

Just about my favorite is the German Fallschirmjager Deutsche Wolkenschow feature, showing them jump out of Italian Tri-motors. It's very cool.

I bet there is some explanation

-Waffenampt- · 06-27-2001, 05:54 AM

Yeah, They messed up. Period.

Ludacris · 06-27-2001, 06:42 AM

no, they didnt mess up, well you see, the guns they used were replicas of real guns, so they couldnt just make it hold 8 shots instead of 5, there was probably some point in which he reloads that we dont see. think about it guys. or are you all just a bunch of dumbasses.?

BallisticWookie · 06-27-2001, 08:19 AM

I love your straight forwardness Lud

and the fact you always call us dumbasses

Yes your probably right, he may have reloaded at some point in there but we just didnt see it, but it must have been a damn quick reload.

Polaris · 06-27-2001, 08:32 AM

Hells-Angel · 06-27-2001, 09:18 AM

I think ludacris just calls us dumb asses to keep us in line =)

From what I know, IMA-USA, a large weapons parts dealer here in the States supplied the weapons for SPR. All of their weapons are the real deal. Also, He is ejecting Full length 30-06 Blanks every time he cycles the bolt. A guy who made the blanks, Named Joe Swanson suppiled I think it was some 100,000 rounds of real sized rounds for the movie. It is a editing mistake. "Dumbass!"
