What is the movie had been filmed that they did stop the Japanese and were able to return to their own time and nothing had changed maybe Sam Chapman would have been a damn good president for all anyone knows
I always loved how the Japanese pilot was portrayed as being cunning and fanatical. Made you appreciate how deadly of enemies our ancestors faced. My grandpa was in the Pacific in WW2 so I was interested in the subject since early childhood
Had the Japanese counter part got to the U.S. before the Attack. General Yamamoto. Wrongly Quoted "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve" This was never proven
At 74, this still sends chills, given my Father's service as a Pilot in the Air Corps His plane went down in 1943. He was never the Same man. I pray this never happens again A Great Movie. Thanks
Great movie. So many of these actors no longer with us. I had a friend once that was station in the Nimitz when this film was being made. He told me all kinds of stories. Katherine Ross was and still beautiful.
Those two Jarheads enjoyed opening up on the Japanese pilot (yeah, I know he was a Korean actor)! I can use the term "Jarhead" since I was a "Nuke Bubblehead Squid"! Look it up. My ship (boat) sank itself on purpose! We ate the same "slop", but the Navy had better spices! 7/83-1/88. I did my duty
Ive always thought that Korean actor was a kick Ass Showman...many other films too. I met one of those Marine guards at the "Shore Bird" In Waikiki....with my fake ID..lolzz No Surprise they were all real Marines. Anyways, My claim to fame.
I know Siskel and Ebert killed this movie when it came out, but it also shows they really didn't know anything. This is an awesome movie with just a crazy What If scenario.
Japanese pilot says, "I want to talk to an Admiral, Commander or person in charge. Use the phone if you want. Walk over here. Any funny moves and I shoot. Get a translator".
when I saw it in the theater nearly 45 years ago the line that impressed me the most was when the captain confidently expressed that the Nimitz could take on the Imperial Fleet by itself. Imagine, they sink the Japanese fleet then present themselves to Nimitz, Stimson, Stark, and FDR.
One of the few movies 'billy badass in his cowboy boots' (martin sheen) made that I liked. Great movie but Very little to do with him though. Too bad the Japaneses pilot didn't shoot Billy Bad Ass in his Cowboy Boots instead of the Marines; I would have enjoyed that much more.
The actor playing the Japanese is actor Soon-tek Oh! He’s not actually Japanese he’s Korean! He had a long acting career. Did I several episodes of MASH, Black Sheep Squadron, this movie and was in the movie Beverly Hills Ninja. RIP brother!👍

I'll bet that Japanese pilot could speak fluent English , in real life !
This reminds me of the classic star trek episode called "Tomorrow is yesterday " where the fighter pilot spots what he thinks is a ufo and gets beamed aboard the Enterprise. But with a more positive outcome!
I just watched the whole movie for the second time after many years. One of my projects in recent years has been learning Japanese. So when we first see the Japanese pilot being interrogated by the Japanese speaking crewman, I was floored to find myself understanding most of the dialog in this scene and just before. The interrogator asks for the pilot's name. He replies, "Wasureta.", meaning "I forgot." The interrogator asks for either his serial number or his group name, and he replies "Omoimasen," meaning "I don't remember." He's playing tough. A little later, they messed up. The pilot says that if they tried to pull any more tricks on him, they'd regret it. The problem was, he used the word "trikku", which is a borrowed English word. As I understand the Japanese language and its history, a real Japanese pilot would not have said this in 1941. In those days, though the Japanese borrowed a lot of words from other languages, English was not a huge source of them. That only happened after the war, when we did not treat them as they expected we would. That, combined with a general belief that if you lose, something must be right about the winners, has led to modern Japanese treating English as something fashionable, or cool. So this pilot was using the language he would normally use: 1980s Japanese.

best movie ever

How did they explain the service men the prisoner killed when they got back to 1980.
この日本兵役の人、「トランスポーター」の中国人社長役の人と同じ?
Great movie. So many of these actors no longer with us. I had a friend once that was station in the Nimitz when this film was being made. He told me all kinds of stories. Katherine Ross was and still beautiful.
I WISHED THEY COULD HAVE ALTERED HISTORY, IN THE MOVIE, TO SEE HOW WW 2 WOULD HAVE CHANGED.
Always wondered why the Marines were doing the kneeknocker run on the 03 level to get to sick bay on the 2nd deck.
The Jap Pilot saw the "Rocket plane" and was puzzled. Would have been really funny him being taken past a TV monitor!!!

"In Australia We run a Human Race!"! ! ! ! - ( OZ ): ANZAC."
Good for the movie, but I think it highly unlikely and unbound prisoner would be guarded by someone with a rifle! Go figure!
If you look closely the thumb safety is on, the gun will not fire.
なんじゃこの日本語?おかしさMAX

The message is operation Barbarossa?
The dog was last seen flying off the flight deck without a parachute.
This is why women shouldn't be on ships.

Excellent Comment. Thank You
いつになってもやっぱりこれが好き
I don't think the Japanese pilot's M-16 had that many rounds left in the mag. Are we talking Hollywood guns again?
Japanese pilot says, "I want to talk to an Admiral, Commander or person in charge. Use the phone if you want. Walk over here. Any funny moves and I shoot. Get a translator".
Nevermind, I just figured it out.
Does anyone happen to know the name of this picture?

Crazee jap in this is probabllee Penny Wong in drag dressed as a man.
Этот фильм показывали в России. Сделали хороший дубляж.

Wait a minute. That M-16 had a clip in it earlier. When he takes the woman hostage, it no longer has a clip. What happened?
I think he was a north Korean doctor on mash too
When Owens’ explains, using the code words, seeing the look on that rat bastard’s face when he realizes that not only did they know, they won….
絶対この日本人 中国人で草
I think the movie score made it better even if the U.S. planes were outdated.
Let's just love aspects of the film
Thats Ralph from Mash...
how did he know how to use a modern weapon ??
Fantasy film Liberties taken to produce a Not so possible situation!
Operation false flag .?
This reminds me of the classic star trek episode called "Tomorrow is yesterday " where the fighter pilot spots what he thinks is a ufo and gets beamed aboard the Enterprise. But with a more positive outcome!
Brilliant film. Saw it when it first came out
Stupid worrisome DOG
Getting killed by a man that hasnt existed for 40 years 🤯
All the good/bad things... its a good/interesting movie and I just ordered it.
What show is this
This pilot stole the whole show.
