What dissapointed me about the Tiger was that, despite all the money that was put into the movie, they still used "Kelly`s Heros"
style mock-ups. Looked very much like a T-34 adapted for the purpose. Problem- much too small.

Saving Private Ryan was a good movie and probably wasnt trying to be as accurate as everyone makes out. It didnt say it was based on a true story or anything therefore is fiction so hollywood can juice it up to make sales. If it was 100 percent accurate it would turn into a documentary and that would be boring and only show on discovery and national geographic chanels not on the big screen.

General hollywod inaccuracies are bearable for me but I draw the line and killing a tiger with a machinegun.
I discovered this crazy site that spots over 100 mistakes in Saving Private Ryan.

IIRC there were over 120 mistakes in Gladiator and 150 in Titanic.

You think wrong.
It's more of the same demographic-friendly chest-thumping drivel.

Same way they call American Rugby 'football' for some reason.

You think SPR was bad? Jurassic Park was way worse.
The stars of the movie, the Velociraptors, weren't even Velociraptors.
And the dinosaurs (Dilophosaurs) that spit? They were over 20 feet long. Couldn't exactly fit in a car.

Hands up anyone who has made a multi-million dollar Hollywood blockbuster? How about you do that first before you complain at how badly they are made.

Hands up anyone who pays money to over-rated stars and directors by buying their products and justifying their existence?
Film stars get money for old rope.

It's constructive criticism.

And cheating on a test is creative problem solving.
How dare they take your money that you freely and willingly hand over in exchange for their good or service. Damn them to the fiery pits of hell and maybe to Bognor Regis for the summer.
Film stars get money for making movies. Old rope salesmen get money for old rope.
Indeed. If you don't like a film, don't watch it. Simple. If you don't like every film then make your own.
To complain about a very successful film for minor historial faults is beyond me. Films are entertainment. If you have to complain then complain that you weren't entertained.

MrPresident,
I dont see why you are getting so defensive about movie stars and the like. I mean quite frankly if you paid more money that you probably should have to go see the movie, why can you not criticize it. Can you honestly say that you've never complained about a movie you went to see?
I dont have any quarels with movies usually when it comes to historical innacuracies. SPR was an action war movie. It wasn't a documentary. Some people thought it would be accurate for some reason, but i don't think there is a single movie that was out in theaters that was completely accurate.
That said, if people paid to see the movie, not only did they pay to see the movie, but they paid to be able to complain about it as well. I buy a car for instance. I've driven it. There is something about it that doesn't please me, am I not allowed to complain about that car then because i have never assembled a car nor designed a car? I think not.
The only thing that annoys me are people who complain about innacuracies in movies, or the boringness or bad acting in movies but haven't seen the movie.

how about rambo 2 then?
rambo can take out five men with five bullets by holding the gun at his torso and when some vietnamese guy is shooting at him rambo doesn't seem the least bit concerned even if he is in plain view.
the russians have german accent.
when he takes out the hind with an anti-tank weapon doesn't the missile have any back blast.

One of my high school history teachers had a saying: "Hollywood isn't historical, it's hysterical."
If any of you think that Hollywood movies are historically accurate, I have a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in buying.
