Great scenes! However, it took more shots to down a plane back then, and engine explosions weren't actually that common. It was rare for anyone to down more than one or two planes in one flight as he would have ran out of ammo before then. Richthofen was also, as has been said before, shot down by ground-fire, though Brown did manage a few shots at him. Also, Richthofen wouldn't have made HALF the mistakes this movie portrays, especially the one at around 6:25.
Saw this movie years ago, it sucked in so many levels it's hard to describe. The book was pretty bad too. Can't wait to see the new Red Baron movie from Germany.
Don't diss gunslinger too much he is actually right....the red baron was killed by ground fire but what use would that have been to the english propaganda machine...dont get mad at me either, we all have propaganda machines.

thats, right! The Aussi's name was Snowy Evans.
Good dogfight scene, but Brown's squadron flew Sopwith Camels, not SE5s as depicted here.
How come the model airplanes they used always get to the top of the loop and then blow up? It's so unrealistic!
How can he fly and land even when he is dead?
Wow, that had nothing to do with reality, did it! Absolutely laughable.
