I remember when I had to catch up on the rest of my platoon during the movie. We were having a haircut when we were called out to the beach for filming. The guys that were done with the haircut headed for the beach, but I was stuck in the chair, until the hairdresser stopped and told me to run after them. Throwing my gear on, Garand in one hand (fake :\) and my helmet in the other, I started running after my platoon.. And Boy, that was anything but easy.
When you thrust your foot down and backwards, 50% of the power and speed went into the sand. I ran for 200 meters (amazing achivement at the time.. ) but felt like 500 meters (or in my perspective at the time 52 miles ).. Running in that thing is a bitch. Maybe one could disable sprinting in the wet/soft sand, or slow infantry down somehow?
Otherwise, a cool idea.. nice
No seriously...you were an extra in that movie? Amazing. It was actually on the real Iwo? That's some heavy duty history right there
I think a good amount of trick mapping could help this, very rough and bumpy terrain everywhere with a nice thin layer of soft sand on top of it all...So that although you can run and all, you would by moving around a whole bunch of stuff....Come to think of it, no need for the softsand everywhere....Some places, definitely, but otherwise, just a nasty ground with many tiny roughs would make everyone comfortable...Issue is, this would be murder with the grenades...I think tha fact already spoils things for all round soft soil
I completely believe fatjoe, they shot the movie in iceland as well as on the real Iwo Jima, and since there are meant people in iceland, I bet he was in the movie.
And Johnwalker , Porn is reserved for those special threads.
yes, I was in the movie in the invasion scene, shot in Iceland. You do what ever you can to get involved if they are shooting a major WWII movie near your home, and in search of extras.
There were about 14 platoons of people, each platoon consisiting of around 40 people, and in total about 500 Icelandic extras plus, ofcourse, the main cast. Impressive sight to see +300 soldiers run from the boats, up the beach. Even more impressive to be one of them
Anyway.. yeah.. I like the idea, would be interesting to see how/if it works..
If I recall, the Japanese government didn't allow battle scenes to be filmed on Iwo. I'm not sure what counts as battle or not though.
And Moose, there is a very special thread sitting at home in Off Topic feeling really rejected and confused right now. Do what's right.
