Movie FUBAR's
I remember a thread a while back where we had a few commets about the movie industry getting in right ..and mostly wrong.
Anyhoo, I was watching James Bond's Goldeneye where James is trying to recover a stolen Eurocopter Tiger and had stopped the heavily armoured train by planting a T-55 main battle tank in its path.
After the dust clears and a bit of interaction with the bad guys, James finds himself stuck in the train as the bad guys escape.
The top of the train opens up and you hear a turbine cranking and out pop's
a russian marked R-22 ?????!!!!!!
What a odd escape aircraft for the russians to have, let alone a turbine one with the cooling scroll and everything.
Damn those ruskies, they have all the cool stuff.
It was going so well till that point.
Wouldnt it have been better for it to be piston & to see it try to crank but not start properly 2 or 3 times like reality LOL.
Ahh shame, yet they have a couple of Twinstar 355's and the Tiger.
Maybe the cash was getting low and the best they could do for the train scene was the R22. or was it infact a chinese or russian knock off ?
Ahh well.
