Ontario Regiment Tank Saturdays - WW2 Re-enactment vid

Cool story. I love how they just refurbished it after it took the a-bomb and saw how much more punishment it could take. It’s like testing to find the strongest M&M in the bag!

Found this article and thought it’s interesting?

Much of it seems right on track but some it seems doubtful.  Japanese isn’t Hawai’i’s?  Vietnamese for Texas?  Maybe it’s right, it’s just not what I would have expected.

@aequitas:

What is Tagalog of kind of language?

A language found primarily in the Philipines.

@superbattleshipyamato Agreed, I knew of his damaged arm. I didn’t know he lost a kidney.

I did some research on the net and found out that the movie was released on VHS in 1986 under the name “State of Division”, so you may be able to find a video of it under that name instead of “Death Race”.

Here’s a brief summary without spoiling anything:

Two American P-40s go on a mission in Africa to bomb a minefield, and one of them gets shot down and has to make a crash landing. The second pilot lands to rescue his buddy, but a German tank and soldiers show up and a stray bullet takes out something or another so that the plane can no longer take off, but can still taxi along the ground. The remainder of the movie is about the Afrika Korps chasing the two pilots and the plane across the desert, and it has a great ending that I’m not going to tell you about… 😁

It’s really good for a TV movie - on http://www.imdb.com it has a rating of 8.3 out of 10.

Got it for two years, and really liked it. Only cancelled the subscription 'cause I got so busy I couldn’t find the time to read 'em. I still have about 8 month’s worth totally unread :P.
