We watched ToraToraTora last evening, still by far the best most accurate depiction of the events. I occured to me that movie simply could not ever be remade again in the same way, as it would cost way too much, between the locations and the equipment logistics, including all real airplanes and dozens of fiberglass replicas (those werent real P40's being blown up, thank God) full size mock ups of US and Japanese capital ships, giant models and hundreds of extras. No studio could (or would) replicate it today with the same degree of accuracy, if you ever saw the more recent 3 hours of Disney crap called "Pearl Harbor"(one of the worst movies ever made in both acting and historical accuracy) you know what I mean.
PS you can see great chunks of the ToraToraTora attack scenes shamelessly recycled in the stinky potboiler "Australia" including two very obviously
US battleships on fire, so much for historical accuracy in film making.
