danfrodo Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I hope the movie is as good as the trailer. While we're on the subject of movies w Russian gear, anyone know of the movie from the late 80s called The Beast? Starring a T55, about a russian tank crew in Afghanistan in 1981. It's now available on Amazon Prime for free. I haven't seen since I first saw it a hundred years ago. Really holds up well. Lots of action inside & outside the tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Enjoyed The Beast when it was first in theaters. Recommended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulianJ Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yes, I have the VHS of it around somewhere. Not sure whether that or the T55 are the most obsolete technology! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers fella, appreciate the heads up.....I'd like to take another look at some Mosul scenarios one day (especially if we ever get persistent map damage), but I already have too many things going on right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'The Beast' is actually a Tiran-5 (it was a T-55 once, but then Israelis): https://tanknutdave.com/israeli-tiran-tank-series/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Well, Mosul is now available on Netflix (is US at least). But sigother unit refused to watch it with me today so had to instead watch The Crown (which is brilliant btw). Poor Charles though. When I was in the UK it would have been unthinkable to openly depict any member of the Royal Family so negatively. Can't help but wonder if the hatchet job is officially designed to put pressure on poor Charles to let the more popular William succeed to the Crown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Watched it last night. I thought it was great! It didn’t disappoint in either storyline, action scenes, or gear detail. Probably some quibbles, and will look for them in the re-watch tonight. But this movie goes on the “Will watch repeatedly over the years until my eyes bleed” list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffelmann Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Okaaaay, now I am very excitrd. This movie is on my to-watch-list for today or tomorrow! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) @mjkerner Ok, i'm sold. On my to watch list. Changing slightly subject, I've recently watched on youtube "The white Tiger". A uncommon mix of war and supernatural events on the russian front. Personnally I've found it pretty interesting.

But not a great movie, poor structure - no satisfying resolution. The end is weird. IIRC it was Hitler being interviews by a demon or somesuch with the subtext that fascist attempts to destroy Russia are on the rise again etc. (Hope I have remembered that correctly, or this post will appear very weird.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Yes, in the final scene Hitler in his speech says that and a few other things. The ghost tank is the embodiment on the battlefield of those ideas, I'd say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Just finished the movie and it's surprisingly good. Very gritty, violent, dirty, fast-moving, with a great sense of verisimilitude. They put the actors thru 3 weeks of training and it shows. Puts most the other Hollywood SEAL TEAM/Special Ops movies to shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude.....It was you that originally asked for it! Seriously! @Combatintman please back me up here! Anyhow, I just posted the ported CM:SF2 version here: Reckon I might still make an updated version in due course, but it won't be any time soon.

mjkerner Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 I've started the original twice; after the first start BFC upgraded to SF2. Then I started it again, and you just posted the newest tweaks. (Only had a half dozen turns in. I have a short attention span, lol, and I play a scenario for a few nights, then on to another, then back around to an unfinished one, etc., etc.) Third times a charm, Sarge! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
