- The most amazing jet story to ever blast the screen!
Three American pilots are shot down behind enemy lines during the Korean war, where they encounter a mysterious Russian nurse. Their lives are in her hands.
My dad flew the Sabre jet briefly in the VMA-233 , but they transitioned not long after to A4s, he also flew the Panther jet also but I don’t know if that was before or after the Sabre jet . He was a carrier pilot USMC flying TBMs off the CVE-106 Block Island in the VMTB- 332 in WW2. The plane he flew in combat in Korea was the Corsairs which was one of his favorite planes.
Thanks for posting.
You're welcome
Thank you for uploading this movie! Appreciated!
Madelin Foy playes the WAAC sergeant in this film. Her father was the great Vaudevillian performer
Eddie Foy. Madeline was one of " The seven Little Foys ".
The Foy family at one time lived in New Rochelle, NY where i also grew up.
I remember the old Foy house on shore road when I was a boy. It was run down then with broken windows.
I have heard the Foy family donated the land their home was on with the stipulation that it would
be made into a park for children to enjoy. The City complied with their wishes.
Nice old memory! Thanks for sharing! It's nice to put someone else's memories along side your own, and try and put yourself in their place, and imagine what it would be like to have been there. Especially if you live in another part of the country, or even another country. It provides a little distraction from all the crap that is going on in our world now...a kind of escape...
You gotta love these American International Pictures, it reminds me so much of Saturday afternoons at the old movie house on collection day after delivering the morning newspaper.
J Polar whats a morning newspaper?
alonzo calvillo ............You must be kidding me, yes?
Yeah every morning. Dad read the paper every morning w/ his coffee.
What's collection day?
2 features, cartoons and cliffhangers Saturday after noons for 10 cents in Toronto.
Good Movie! I love every old War Movie I can see!
YeahNO
I love how the first 2 engine plane that got shot down had D-day invasion stripes.
So what.
B - 25 markings , North Africa ,1942/1943 . Thank you .
These older movies are wonderful.
Tanya reminds me of the Tanya spy in C+C Red alert. Good movie especially the dog fight scenes.
F 86 standing in for MiG 15’s, has to some of the worst special effects ever!😂😂
I love these old movies with stock images
Yep loved the Marianas Turkey Shoot stock footage of Japanese propeller fighters getting shot down... never knew that Russian MiG jets had wheel spats on fixed gear, just like a Val dive bomber... LOL:) OL J R :)
lmao coming in strong and groovy hahaha great stuff thanks for the movie bro
Audrey Totter was in a ton. Also in a fave of mine...The Postman Always Rings Twice
20:50 Lands behind enemy lines and starts laughing and talking as loud as they can😄
I saw this on a matinee at 12,in 1963 at the Helix Theater.La Mesa,Ca. I know because I remember jumping on the local train going thru, then getting off at the theater. As kids,that was our transpo in town. Back and forth every Saturday,9am out,3pm back.
around the same time except i was at el cajon theater, el cajon ca.
John Agar...King of the B-Movies.
"Z" movies, you surely mean.
Thank you for uploading this and paratroop command
You're welcome!
I honestly don’t know what happened to Chick Lee in this film but I can assume he is now a POW and still alive
F-84, the fifties most badass jet. last of the straight wing jets-first tactical nuke carrier. jets and machine guns. love it.too bad it wasnt in color.
Wow! Some weapons systems! They fire before you even pull the gun trigger! At 5:52 you see the pilot's hand on the stick and the 6 50 cals fire before he gets a chance to squeeze the trigger.
american secret weapons system
I thought my eyes we playing tricks on me.
The auto pilot did it!!!
These movies are so cool ,a whole generation free up to these movies men were men women were women are country's moral values were top ,certainty miss these days
I miss the 50s and early 60s movies
I think it was a good movie-ette if you don't analyse it too much. I am glad l had a chance to see it.
The blue roundel with star and yellow surround from another time and place.
It's 1958. John Agar. Audrey Totter. F86 Sabe jets. Migs. A Russian nurse. And you also want a plot?
I know it's just a movie, but it seems the enemies always underestimates what we will go through for one soldier, or just about any soldier.
Koreans never wear that triangular hat as shown in 23:58 -- it is either Chinese or Vietnamese style. Movie maker got mixed up the time and place.
Pulling the grenade pin with his teeth was really the money shot
You'd yank your teeth out
@@TheStevenp851 a little pressure on the clip and the pin would just about fall out
Great movie, but pictures very dark, even in daylight.
Hollywood really loved the F86 back then.
Nice Mosin Nagant Rifles by the Guerrillas
Anything with F86 sabers in it is number 1 with me
Waiting for the McConnel story.
Cheap movie, still interesting to see thank you for posting. Combat scenes are clips from WW2
So real I thought it was a documentary!
Really, no one could right dialogue like that.
A little bit of attention to the physics of high gee combat might've been nice. Like leaning back in your seat to simulate acceleration or angular momentum. But-hey! The story's the thing.
Its 61 years later, could you imagine if those fellas saw what we have now in radar satellite and cell phones sending pictures across the world in a split second
The guy operating the radio in the beginning played Elvis Presleys partner in Veva Las Vegas.
Talk about hero music during this flick
Fine example of officers and gentleman, appearing before their commanding officer drunk and disorderly.
The 1950’s. When Hollywood loved America and everything American. No more. Now we’re all divided. One big reason I miss the 1950’s when I was a kid.
Great Edward Cahn film that played together with "Suicide Battalion" as double feature, back in the good old days. Ronald Stein's famous music style.
movies like this prompt most couples to head for the back seat!....
@@frankpienkosky5688 More-intelligent couples would have gone straight to the nearest park, instead.
There is bad, there is worse and then there is this. 🙄
Besides the illustrious (?!) John Agar, another cast member is Gregory Walcott. He played Jeff Trent in "Plan 9 from Outer Space," one of the most execrable movies ever made.
Oh Plan 9's ok.
"...coming in strong and groovy, over....."
Yeah.. lol
Some of the most realistic combat scenes since Saving Private Ryan.
In the Korean War most of the MIGs were flown by Russian pilots.
The same was true in Nam when Mig 21's were first introduced. Eventually the zips were trained up to fly them.
Я вам всем покажу Кузькину мать!!!!!!!
😠😡🤬
Anyone who can fly a jet, bomber, helicopter should know how to press the trigger on the stick in an Enemy aircraft instead of ramming him?
maybe he didn't know how to arm the gun. and they were flying F-86's in the closeups., and he was shot and was probably confused, Lol!
On the first day of basic training in the Army in 1969 I was a "selected volunteer" to do KP duty in an adjoining training company's mess hall.
"Volun-told."
01 April, 1969 am, I arrived at the Army air field, at Bien Hoa, RVN - After the long 20+ hrs flight, we had to enter into a holding pattern, before landing, for 45 min's while the air field was under rocket and mortar attack ... Afterwards, the tar mac had to be checked before landing, what I remember, that April Fool's day was the tremendous early morning heat and the stench of burnt gun powder. The busses that took us to the reception area at Long Bien, did not have glass in the window, but "chicken wire" to prevent enemy agents from tossing explosive devices into the vehicles; when the sun came up - the heat seemed to triple.
I was there for more than a year with the 1st Cavalry Div. (Air).
You might want to read: "War Is a Racket", a speech and a 1935 short book, by Smedley D. Butler, a retired United States Marine Corps Major General and two-time Medal of Honor recipient. Based on his career military experience, Butler discusses how business interests commercially benefit, such as war profiteering from warfare.
Peace.
Why would you feel the need to tell this to the entire world. I had a sandwich last time I went fishing but don't need to share that information
@@nameskhar1510 aaaaannnnnnnnnnd ???
@@nameskhar1510 I've read "War Is A Racket" by Major General Smedley ("Old Gimlet Eye") Butler, USMC. Butler was a man who knew war for what it is.
Of course, I don't suppose the chickenhawk neocons would learn anything from it. . . .
A fairy- tale for kids! Three American pilots nearly won the Korean war! "An amazing jet story..."(in what scenes exactly???)
So, Skyhawk 1 is thinking that Skyhawk 2 has seen them but hasn’t bothered to tell his mates? No bandits at 12 o’clock, just kept it quiet?
as the saber jet was in production with a conventional wing setup...when there was a phone call that halted it, we have the swept wing design from the me 262.
It would have been nice to see it without the aspect ratio screwed up. You can't make HD out of SD.
Flying in a B-25 and shot down in a B-26.
That is some bad luck
About as much continuity as in an Ed Wood film. These low-budget films were to low in profit to justify much film editing.
@ 37:10 - appears to be 'the batcave' entrance, in bronson canyon
3:41 Bouncing *UHF* signals off the Kennelly-Heaviside (or E) layer of the ionosphere? No, that violates the laws of physics. *VHF* waves absolutely can bounce off the E layer. Maybe the actor just misread his lines.
The technical advisor on this film was a potato... OL J R :)
Ah the Air Force. Anything else Sir, yeah you've been working really hard why don't you take a few days off. Wish the Army was like that.
57:30 - Pilot is shot and slumps over, but makes a remarkable recovery and escape when prodded by Clayborne :-)
Amazing ain't it.
Maybe just playing possum so wont get shot some more!
Yea, got hit with one of those “sleeping bullets” 😴. All that’s necessary for recovery is for one of your pals to come over and shake you a little and you’re right back in action.
The Korean Guerilla Captain is Hop Sing from Bonanza.
Teenage American boys loved cheesy back then.
The bomber at the beginning wasnt the same when it was shot down i believe it was a B26 with D day markings
I thought it was an A-26, and when they went to rescue, they were in one also, but bailed out of a C-47. The Definition of a low budget film, Lol! I believe the B-26 was a single tail and the A-26 was a dual tail rudder, maybe I'm wrong.
You are very observant D.R. I did not notice. Good Catch
For your information both the A26 (Invader) and the B26 (Marauder) were single tail bombers (shows a B26 Marauder going down in flames). They left in a B25 (Mitchell) bomber (twin tailed) (19:18) and when they bailed out it had magically changed into the C47 single tailed transport (19:54).
@@rwhunt99 most of the twin engined prop planes with twin tails are NA B-25 Mitchels(I dont recall ever hearing of them in Korea). The Martin B-26 was a single tail and was retired after WW2. The NA A-26 Invade(WW2 designation) replaced the Martin bomber at the end of WW2 and took over its B-26 designation. Interesting note, the B-26 from Korea was later remanufactured by On-Mark as the B-26K and used in Viet Nam! Hope this wasnt too convoluted to follow.
@@rwhunt99
You ARE WRONG.!!!
The a/c who went down, was shot sometime post D day, its a Martin B-26G "Marauder".
( Never went to Korea), the a/c they embark, was a North American B-25J "Mitchell", and miraculously, they jump from a Douglas C-47 "Skytrain", (the correct military designation of the civilian DC-3 "Dakota" airliner)!!
All this movie IS so full of mistakes and in corrections, that only can be a comedy, a joke, or some kind of test to detect mistakes.!!!
Even our heroes jump from the B-25, with only the inner liner of the helmets, AND UNSTRAPPED. !!!!
And the guerrillas, use GMC trucks WITH AMERICAN STARS in the doors.! kkkk kkkk!!!!! WHAT A JOKE.!!!!
BTW, where did they get its Gasoline for the trucks.????
On the radio , over and out is incorrect. It's either OVER , or OUT . Over indicates you are waiting for a reply . Out means you are finished talking AND listening .
And only heard in bad TV shows, and movies.
maybe he was overcome by hypoxia no oxygen mask.
Roger Wilcox..10-4 good buddy..we gone..over and out!
A Cool film
To think, I remember when these were being phased out of service in America.
John Agar in....'Stock Footage!'
Let Me get 3 Volunteers!! You, You, and You! Hurry up Quickly!! Move out on the Double!!
7:30 8mm films ... 8mm cameras on the jets? holy cow..
1:08 why did they cut out the rescued gentleman exiting the plane..did he get stuck halfway?
The actor John Agar only had a few decent parts before he ended up on the bottle and in these cheapo Ed Wood-Class "Z" pictures (which he didn't mind having appeared in, according to an interview).
Did the pilot seriously call a Mayday when spotting the enemy Migs? I just love how these old Hollywood movies seem to think every pilot that flys jets also knows how to fly rotary wing aircraft as well.
Well Danny Glover went from O-2 to Huey in one movie with Gene Hackman.
If you think this is bad watch a Steven Seagal or Neil Breen movie. 😅😢😂
At 18:49, when the MiG Airport was strafed, it should be China. As far as I know, North Korea's airport was bombed and unusable. Almost all MiG-15s took off from Dandong, China. .
I thought it was Pyongyang and we weren't allowed to cross the Yalu river or attack China lest we provoke the Russians.
The only other time i heard a mention of the heavyside layer was in Cats,
LOL!!!
Would someone help increase my knowledge. I am unaware that any B-25s or Martin B-26s flew in Korean War arena.
How did they get the gun camera footage from the enemy jet that shot the bomber down?
It’s gun camera footage from WWll, it’s a Japanese Betty bomber being shot down and a quick shot of a B-26 hit by flat in Europe. But how they were able to watch it on film in there office I don’t know. That’s Hollywood I guess.
Same film footage as in the battle scene.
@@sonnyburnett8725 for the story continuity is what he is asking. Does it make any sense that the US base HQ would have gun camera footage from the enemy’s plane?
The same way that the British government got the Russian Bear footage from the Bear planes that were supposed to have been sent packing by planes of the R.A.F, from the good guys, I mean the bad guys
Probably a sabre pilot with dodgy glasses…Who shot it down, or was it aliens…..
Delicious, like a fine wine turned to vinegar. Dip your salty french fries into this vinegar and enjoy the truly nonsensical plot, acting, sets, locations, and dialogue. Like a bad cork, the actors are old and dried out. Use caution, may cause nausea in those with delicate constitutions.
Apparently you have a delicate constitution
John Agar rules!
OK. Did see F-84G and a glimpse of an F-84F along with the F-86s i expected.
This movie used just about every war movie cliche.
Most of the intelligence,early special operations who did jump behind enemy line's during korean war just vanished the terrain and communication and weather was so bad plus enemy infiltrators
I like how his guns start shooting before he pulls the trigger...at 5:52
Kennynva i
The German Capt. In the back seat did it, Kapt. "Auto"Pilot!!!
Another movie revealing the reduced instruction code implemented and cultivated in military minds and organizers.
A concept later on also successfully implemented in "risc computing"
The F-86 Sabre was so popular with the german pilots of the new Luftwaffe that they wore mourning-crapes when the planes were retired from service.
Mucki der Hase and they were Canadian built Sabres with the far superior Orenda engines.
Those mourning-drapes would have seen plenty of use when they got the F-104s.
Any movie Augar did was crap, unless he had other top billing actors to carry him!
John Agar was married to Shirley Temple . After their divorce his career crashed and he ended up in films like this and cheesy sci fi. I always wondered if it was pronounced with a hard A..Agar or a soft a..aGar ?
The lingo is swingin.
Groovy baby!!! Swinging cats!!!
Typical of Follywood scriptwriters, they're weak on military & aviation radio jargon. 😆🤣
Rescue team behave as rank amateurs (ill-trained, incompetent), plus gross insubordination to their team-leader. 😡😠
Funny how the title suggests a film about air combat, but , , , is mostly guerilla warfare.
i couldn't find data on the originally-intended aspect ratio. if intended for drive-ins, maybe 1.66 or 1.60 ? appears to be stretched too wide @ 1.78. thanks for posting, tho.
This picture was made for "drive-outs" rather than "drive-ins".
そうか 太平洋戦争終わって 13 年か 戦闘機のセイバー76飛んでいたんだね ok 。
US pilots had their masks off and had to touch their throat microphones when wanting to talk and their helmets pushed so far back that they were of no use in case slamming against the instrument panel! The MiG pilots had their masks on and their helmets properly.
Yeah, yeah. But the zip pilots didn't have to deliver such totally authentic dialog as, "Bandits, 2 o'clock, Mayday!" You can just see the script, "*Pilot says something armyish-- blah blah blah mayday-- in the same lazy conversational tone as would use ordering breakfast in a diner*"
@farmalmt It might surprise many to know that pilots today use the same " conversational tone today when declaring an IFE( In Flight Emergency). It does no one good to be yelling or rambling. Clear concise understandable information is needed.
"Of all the joints in Seoul to go to..." But the signs were in Japanese.
Onry you can a' see sumting like'a dis !!
I thought they were in japan airbbase.
I wonder if Chuck Yeager flew one of those jets?
He not only flew them, he commanded a squadron of F86H and later the F100 super saber.
Strong and groovy? Bandits 2 o’clock mayday? What military do they think they’re in.
It was a John Agar picture: he didn't get fazed by how bad they were, as long as they paid for the booze.
WE HAVE BONANZA'S HOP SIN IN THIS MOVIE. WONDER HOW HE GOT AWAY FROM THE PONDEROSA.
Coming in "Strong and Groovy" . . . Over! Yeah that pretty much ended it for me..no thanks
Boy, they're right in showing this on the "Drive in movie theater channel". It's so full of film clip errors, planes that weren't in use during the Korean War etc as to be embarrassing. Why they show a nose shot of an F-84 experimental plane equipped with a turbo prop that was never fielded, but they're loading 500# GP Bombs on it's wing. LOL
Yeah, F84G then F’s and three different B-25’s variants!
These guys only have one setting. Loud!
A join the air force film.
I did many years later during another Asian conflict and at one time stationed at K-8 Korea.
I just finished watching a movie...(Battle Taxi). It had two military advisors who made sure military procedures , wearing of the uniform etc were correct. NOW Jet Attack....F86 pilots not wearing oxygen masks! I'm a former 20 year Air Force pilot who gets quickly bored and disgusted when I see these low budget movies with so many obvious errors in anything to do with the military
The airforse col. Was police sargent on Denis the Menise.
