Chinook Mates and Lara Croft

The new Tomb Raider movie came out in the US today, so in keeping with the best traditions of Holywood I went to see it. The best scene in the whole movie is Lara Croft (who is SCORCHING HOT!) walking over the top of a hill with a pair of twin-rotored death bananas lifting off overhead (pure sex!). Odiham mates will be pleased to know that they get a credit in the movie, but I was wondering if any PPRuNe mates were involved in the shoot, and if so did you get to meet the terrrific Ms Jolie?

Typical. Another Hollywood misrepresentation.
Any hot bird, who wanted to get there on time, in style and without 3 weeks planning would have choosen a PUMA.

SH Monkey,

The Director's meagre Hollywood budget would not cover the cost of constant breaks in filming whilst the Puma was being refuelled.
Enter the mighty Wokka stage right!

Presumably the filming was done from a really high tower, to give the effect of low flying Chinnies.

PS. If Ms Jolie was on board, then at least you can say there's one talented girl on Chinooks...... I'm going straight to hell for that one (yepee!!!!)

Well I suppose they had to use the death banana to keep it a PG-13 over here, the use of a Lynx would have made it truely X-rated!

Now I think I'll GMC!

SH Monkey-boy,
You are SO right, if Miss Jolie was on board there would be ONE talented girl on Chinnies, instead of an entire squadron of semi-talented girls a la Puma!

Spot on SH Monkey. Did you mean talented or good looking? Oh no, my mistake both!

The only reason they used the chinook, all the Pumas were tasking!!!

Oh really? Speaking to the guys from Death Banana HQ who stayed at a well known Wessex/Puma base last week, I hear most of the tasking they got was made up of ten-man drops cunningly combined in to thirty-man bus-runs.

I guess she did a risk analysis and chose to walk?

The best part of the filming was the Inflight ration payment. It took forever to fly from Odiham to Siberia.

Is that all they carried inside the mighty wokka!!! Surely the Merlin would have been a better choice? No, sorry, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... you're right too many people for a Merlin
