In both this film and Midway (the 80's one), the strike leader (Tomonaga) was seen hitting the Yorktown in a Kamakaze strike (his plane had been damaged over Midway in the opening attack and was going to run out of fuel). In actual fact, he was shot down by Jimmy 'James' Thatch prior to hitting the carrier.
Fantastic model work and great effects for the era...amazing video and I appreciate the aircraft being true to model and the uniforms being fairly accurate...something Hollywood could take note of today.
Same SFX director as the OG godzilla films and ultraman, actually. Eiji Tsubaraya. Tomoyuki Tanaka, the producer of the OG godzilla also produced this film.
Man, the more I find clips like these, the lesser my opinion becomes of the 1976 film "Midway" which I grew up with. There's scarcely any original action footage in that film as it was largely filled in by historical footage and those from other films like this one.
Totally agree. Midway 76 brought disgrace to the USA. This movie was supposed to be celebrating US’s bi-Centenary and lifting the spirits of the American people after Vietnam. The 2010’s one, partially funded by the Chinese, was only marginally better and still was no match to that of Tora!
Probably the only thing I'll give the '76 movie credit for is creating a sense of tension and unease between both sides as to where the other will be. They're each encountering difficulties (some self-induced) pinning down where their respective forces are and where they should concentrate their firepower. The 2019 film I felt lost a bunch of that tension and made it feel too much like that stereotypical and predictable underdog story. On the note about it's influences from China, I felt as a whole it was important to include the effects on the Chinese population enacted by the Japanese in the wake of the Doolittle Raid. On the flipside, the nod to the Japanese sailors involved also seemed a little naive considering that they would not have given American sailors the kind of respect that their opposite would have. The Japanese Navy was just as responsible for letting atrocities happen under their watch as the Army was for theirs.
@@pattheriot3963 I think it's safe to say that the 1970's, ( obviously meant 1976 version to be more precise)midway was as much propaganda as anything else, and much to clean often times to the horror Pacific naval battles actually were.
@@pattheriot3963 The 2019 one should have left the China part to any Doolittle Raid movie and just concentrate on the battle covered by the movie title which is ‘Midway’. There are so much of the battle not covered by the 19 movie - ironically the 76 one was a bit more comprehensive. For both the 76 one and the 19 one, maybe they should have separate Japanese teams doing the Japanese side.
Despite Yamamoto's dire prediction about Japan not winning a war with the USA if it drags out for 2 or more years, little did he expect that 4 of his 6 aircraft carriers that had participated in the Pearl Harbor raid, would be sunk 6 months later at the Battle of Midway. He gambled and unknowingly lost to superior enemy intelligence, which would eventually cost him his life. A greater tragedy for Japan was the loss of precious pilots, whose experience and skills were hard to replace. An even greater tragedy were the massive loss of lives of that generation who were sucked into the Pacific war. Beyond the glorification of war, let us never forget the painful lessons of WWII.

@@ヤマトウズメ-r1o The teachings and indoctrination of the Bushido or Samurai spirit is one. But being manipulated into committing acts of death, destruction, pain and suffering on others is another. The Bushido and Samurai spirit wasn't enough to overcome the much larger industrial-military complex of the USA, plus the Yankee spirit ignited by Japan's Pearl Harbor raid. Have you read Eri Hotta's book entitled "Japan 1941: The Road to Infamy"? If you haven't, do so, if you wish to keep an open mind. The collective decision of your top civilian and military decision makers to go to war in 1941, resulted in a terrible loss of lives across the Asia-Pacific region; not least to your own people. It was a decision that your wartime Emperor Hirohito, lived to regret for the rest of his life.
It is remarkable that a movie on such a sensitive topic was made in the 60s, just about 20 years after the Great War, when the wounds of the devastating war had yet not healed in Japan. At this point of time all this seems like an thrilling story from the distant and unseen past, but imagine making a movie in 2022 on some event in 2005 that had greatly shaken the existence of your country? In fact, Japan in the 60s had not even emerged as the pre-eminent technological and industrial power we know of today. That would take about another 20 years to happen, in the early 80s.
Nothing odd about it. Already in 1945 Japan became strategically important for US as a base for controlling USSR's access to the Sea in the Far East, and the importance only grew after the communist victory in the Chinese Civil War as well as USSR's first nuclear test and finally the Korean War. US had to make Japan both happy and capable of contributing cannon fodder for its defense by USA in case of Soviet or Chinese attack. Therefore its WW2 armed forces were portrayed in a relatively favorable light in the contemporary media and there was little to no talk of huge Japanese war atrocities since the victims were now mostly the Cold War enemies (at least until Nixon started courting the Chinese during the final phases of the Vietnam War, hoping to widen the rift between them and the Soviets that appeared back when Kruschev took office in the USSR).
Well, you are right about how badly Japan was lacking in technology back in the '60's, and it really shows just how much by looking at the special effects in this movie.....
For being a 1960 war movie it actually looks like the real thing unlike so called modern day version of nothingness. I prefer the old school war movies it actually looks more realistic, more graphic than today.

You must be referring to guys getting shot and not a speck of blood anywhere on them or their uniforms which is what you mostly get from "the old school war movies".
I forgive the special effects given the time it was filmed...and they do use accurate aircraft. One tiny thing. Hiryu's torpedo and dive bomber squadrons attacked separately in two separate missions. They only ever ran into one carrier, the Yorktown, which was sailing in a separate task force from Hornet and Enterprise. When the second wave of Hiryu's attackers reached the Yorktown, the damage was under control and she was steaming along. Hiryu's pilots thought it was a new carrier, not the one the previous wave damaged. The mistake in the two-carrier count might be that as it was roughly just 20 years after the battle the accurate narrative was still being understood. Either way and interesting perspective on the battle.
@freebeerfordworkers Buckmaster was the last to abandon ship (although two were later found alive and onboard still unbeknownst to anyone). He and Fletcher agreed that they should try to salvage the ship after she refused to sink, even though listing badly to port. . A salvage crew went aboard on June 6. And it was looking like she could be towed back to Pearl Harbor and refurbished. But then the Japanese submarine snuck through destroyer screen and torpedoed her and the destroyer Hammann. . Buckmaster didn't leave the ship too early. Quite the opposite. He did what good captains do. Stayed with his vessel until his crew was off safe. It was looking like she was going to go under. Once it was deemed safe to go back on board he sent in the salvage team. All for naught though. Something like 80+ men died on the Hammann which went down in minutes.

Agreed, there are a couple of problems with this presentation. First of all the HIryu flew off two raids, not one, and they proceeded separately more than an hour apart. Both attacked the Yorktown, which was part of TF17 and the only carrier in that group. The first attack thrust, launched by the Val Dive bombers, scored at lesat three direct hits and temporarily stopped the ship; by the time of the second attack, mounted by the Kate torpedo bombers, Yorktown was under way again and had the fires under control to the extent that the IJN believed they were attacking a separate carrier. However it was the Yorktown again, and they put two fish in to her which did more damage than the bombs. Very few IJN Vals & Kates survived to return to the Hiryu, although I believe most of the escorting Zeros survived. Yorktown wallowed in the water for several hours, a damage control party actually went on board and looked as htough they would be able to save the ship, pumping out the water and putting her under tow, when an undetected IJN sub turned up and put another three fish in to her (and one into a salvaging destroyer near by, whose depth charges immediately detonated and sunk the ship in a few seconds along with most of her crew), which did fatal damage and she eventually sunk from all those combined hits.
@@xj900uk To be precise, 6 Vals and 5 Kates survived, and in both raids, half of the escorting zeroes were shot down. In the first raid (Lt. Kobayashi's Vals), 2 of the escorting zeroes were so shot up attacking the retreating Dauntless raiders that they had to return to Hiryu, one had to be scrapped.
Historical mistakes: Hiryu's dive bombers and torpedo bombers attacked separately. Both attacks were made on USS Yorktown Neither USS Enterprise nor USS Hornet were sighted by either attack group Leader Lt. Juichi Tominaga didn't make a suicide attack on USS Yorktown, nor did any other IJN pilot
There were a whole lot of mistakes, yes. Not mentioned, the Corn-Ball chatter from the Japanese. The Japanese were professional aviators. Not those Ham Actors.
@@EliteF22 Yes, no 'Island' on that carrier. So, they made their models do double duty, played both sides. Dem bastards! I am calling that Model Abuse.
1:49 There is an actor in this movie playing a Japanese pilot who looks just like the late Japanese-born American actor Mako Iwamatsu, known professionally as "Mako." He appears several times in the movie. They could be twin brothers. This picture was made in 1960 but Mako started working in the US in 1959. His IMDb and Wikipedia filmographies make no mention of this film, so it can't be him.
I remember hearing the story about some American military genius saying that the Japanese would be poor pilots because of there eyes. Also the Japanese thought the American military can't be effective because it was to racially mixed . Well the lesson here is never under estimate the enemy. Just ask Putin.😂
Way how US picked bomber pilots, told lot of quality. If man physically healthy and able to handling horses in work, he was good enough for training to pilot. In those days, it was most difficult job to farm workers.
By the end of the war Japanese pilots were flying targets. The Zero no longer ruled the sky. Japanese pilots were no better or worse than other pilots. At first they had the superior planes. But just a few months later the Hellcat made it’s first appearance. It was all downhill for the Japanese pilots after that.

Not really. It's generally correct, but in a condensed way. The dive bombers and torpedo bombers were completely separate groups. Lt. Kobayashi's dive bombers were first, then later came Lt. Tomanaga's torpedo bombers. In between, the Yorktown had enough time to repair the damage from the dive bombers, leading the surviving torpedo bomber commander to conclude they'd damaged a second American carrier.
Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu are burning. Japan needs years to build replacements for any of the six carriers of Kido Butai - only Hiryu, Shokaku, and Zuikaku remain. (Only Hiryu remains near Midway.) The flight crews are nearly irreplaceable, given Japan's pilot training woes. Japan's aircraft were well known to have superior range and better torpedoes than the US Navy, along with a superior torpedo bomber. Yet the Japanese steam TOWARDS three American carriers, only making it easier for the USN to deliver additional attacks. Hiryu could have steamed northwest after the other three carriers were destroyed, opening the range for her counterstrike while staying out of range. For God's sake, Nagumo and Yamamoto utterly botched the Battle of Midway - outplayed by Spruance and Nimitz at nearly every decision point, yet Nagumo was allowed to command aircraft carriers again, MULTIPLE TIMES, in the Solomon Islands campaign. Japan's strategy and tactics, along with their admirals and generals, were flawed from top to bottom. Their strategy was entirely attrition warfare with he concentric rings of islands to wear down the American drive towards Tokyo, yet they never had a chance in a war of attrition - AND EVERY ONE OF THEIR LEADERS KNEW IT. The straw they clung to was the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 where a single, decisive battle ("kantai kessen") would again force their enemy to ask for peace terms. Think about it. On December 6, 1941, did Japan ever have a hope of seizing even Washington State? Or Alaska? Did the USA have a hope of seizing Japan? This was one of the most insane strategic gambles in history and it failed spectacularly.
Yes and they had two Light Carriers at Midway but to far away to help. They treated their battleships as to important to risk and sent the carriers in first instead of timing the Battleships to show up off of Midway to bombard first thing in morning. The Battleships and Transports should have led so that attacks on them would allow carriers to exploit. And then The US had two Carriers out one sunk one damaged only one left and the Japanese had two light carriers roughly at match and 8 battleships and tons of others why not continue the invasion? This typical of all their actions including the last in Philippines they needed to keep attacking but instead every time ran letting the US of the hook. Pearl the massive mistake and like a few other things a great plan temped the Japanese into something they did not want to do. The Japanese were under sanctions from England and the US for atrocities in China. The English had control of the oil and minerals the Japanese needed in the area of South Pacific thur India. The US had nothing they needed that could be practically taken by Japan. And the Japanese only intended to defend vs US anyway. US has strong neutrality faction chance the US can't even join the war if the Japanese only attack the British and thus Japan gets everything they want in the war. Japanese are worried about leaving Philippines in their rear but it's forces not that much. So brain dead smart Japan move is attack British telling US they have no intent to attack US. Even if the US comes in it comes in to help British enforce sanctions on China the US population interest in that war will be much less especially if Japan just shoots up US aircraft and blockades the Philippines. US might even be willing to talk peace talks later that are way less than Japan totally defeated. Maybe even Japan small victory if they defeat US Battleships off of Philippines and brush back much lessor US offensive and get terms they wanted from US. British without US can't win vs German neither can Russia. All lost form a cool plan to surprise the US at pearl. You might have read Japanese declaration of war not delivered before attack as intended due to code breaking mistake. Even if Japan gets declaration of war to US in time it will not help them as they were trying to be too smart. The Japanese wanted to deliver the declaration of war to US before the attack but too late for US to warn Pearl Harbor in time. Roosevelt only has to change his speech slightly and US still just as offended and wanting blood. Instead of attacked before declaring war he simply says they evilly delivered their war declaration too late for US to warn Pearl still a violation of rules of War. Japanese trying to eat the cake and still have it after eating it there.

Amazing how the Zero was one of the best planes out there when this war began. But by the end they were pretty much flying targets. I don’t understand how Tojo and his boys underestimated the United States so badly. Yamamoto tried to warn them.
They knew exactly that the US industry could outbuilt them. Their doctrine was based upon dealing a massive blow to the enemy forces, occupy territory while the us was weakened and then find/dictate a favourable peace treaty. Their main mistake was to assume the us (And UK) would negotiate after their initial attack. They hadn't even the capacity to strike US territory with any considerable force.
Not only that but they picked a fight with USA and the British Empire (+ the Dominions) and France and the Netherlands all while ALREADY FIGHTING TH M.DRF.CK.N CHINA, and having taken a shot at the USSR at Lake Khassan and Khalhin Gol...
If you lose a war, the victor will revise history. Do you know the fact that the Japanese government helped many Jews? The humanitarian aid of Kiichiro Higuchi, Hideki Tojo, and others was maliciously rewritten as the rescue of Chiune Sugihara on his own initiative. The story that Sugihara was exiled is also a lie. Yamamoto was just against it until the end. Many top officials were against the war, and it took over 100 meetings before they decided to start the war. Japan did not think the Battleship Yamato could reach Okinawa. But in the American movie, the crew really thought they could win... They did not think they could win the Russo-Japanese War against the great power of Russia. We did not think we could win the Russo-Japanese War against Russia, nor did we think we could win against the United States. To avert war, peace negotiations were held many times. The U.S. knew in advance of the attack on Pearl Harbor!" It is not true that the U.S. knew about the attack on Pearl Harbor in advance. They were looking forward to the attack and waiting for Japan to aggressively pressure them to attack first." If you look it up on Wikipedia, all you will read is a winner-take-all scenario. (Film from the end of the war ->) th-cam.com/video/Wq3bZA6Z0IE/w-d-xo.html (college students' story) Students at the time did not go off to war thinking they could win the war. It was to negotiate a ceasefire. The ship losses for the entire war at Kamikaze were 15%, but it was 15% with almost no forces. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
@Extreme savage They are using fireworks on a small ship model. That's why. Though you have to give it to them the fact most of their outdated battle effects look more similar to the real naval war footages when compared to the more newer and modern movies.
thats why they build the world largest battleship, The Yamato...its not for defeating the US battle class, but its for a reminder that "you reap what you saw"...The Yamato is a sad history anyway....many of the mens were fighting with full spirits while aboard the ship without knowing the fact that they has to be sacrificed for Japan to open their eyes about their defeat in the war....
In addition to the world's largest battleship with the largest diameter guns ever mounted upon a naval vessel even to this day, they also constructed three of the largest submarines, each capable of housing, launching and recovering upto three torpedo bombers. It was said that before the U.S. Navy decided to bring the fleet from California to Hawaii, Yamamoto intended to use these submarines to attack and destroy the Panama Canal which would have been an epic, devastating disaster as far as resupplying the Pacific Theater was concerned.
Great special effects ! Just like the Godzilla battle scenes . Thank the gods for Roman Candles ! We used to burn and blow up our model ships & tanks in the same manner as a kid . Fire crackers ( cherry bombs too big ) . or bb guns . Lighter fluid was our main accelerant ! I had a giant mud hole I made Pearl Harbor and used rocks . How can I get a job doing this ?
Muchos de los comentarios que han escrito aquí critican las impresiciones históricas de esta película, que es una visión de la guerra desde la óptica japonesa, esto como si las películas norteamericanas (óptica de los vencedores), fueran muy precisas históricamente, para burdo ejemplo de ello, tenemos la película "Pearl Harbor" del 2001, con aberrantes fallos desde barcos anclados en el puerto que para nada corresponden a la época, modelos de aviones fuera de escala que se notan en las tomas de "peleas de perros", hasta un estúpido triángulo amoroso que sobra en el argumento. Pero en fin como siempre se ha conocido..."la historia la escriben los vencedores"...y agrego, por supuesto a su conveniencia😡

concuerdo con sus puntos de vista. he leido varios libros sobre la guerra de el Pacifico y he notado como el lado norte americano comenta sus perdidas de una manera tan vaga y con carencia de detalles. deveras quieren los autores y narradores convercer a los lectores y tellevidentes de tan poca precision? y sin embargo narran con todolujo de detalles las perdidas de sus adversarios. pero no dude esto: hollywood y la maquinaria propagandista siempre se ha ocupado en crear montajes. Los EE UU tuvieron muchas mas bajas pero como lo dijo ud. "la historia la escriben los vencedores"
I didn't know it was filmed in 1960 so I take all my laughter back. I was going to say oh look, they used the same special effects people as they did on the Godzilla movies in 57!! They probably did!!
The poor Yorktown. Ya really gotta feel bad for those guys. Did everything they could to get the ship back in order only to have it bombed again and again.
There are a few historical inaccuracies here. The Hiryu didn't find 2 carriers, they only found the Yorktown. I don't know whatever else happens in this story because I haven't watched the movie, but the Yorktown was patched up and the fires put out quickly after this encounter and the Japanese 2nd strike was thought to be on an undamaged carrier, but it was the Yorktown again. The Japanese assumed that it had sunk and thought they were attacking a very different carrier, but NO. It's really a testament to the damage control abilities the Americans had over the Japanese.
@Will he heck as like suicide attacks happened throughout the war... there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between a single pilot making a personal suicide decision and an entire nation making suicide an operational doctrine.
Imagine if the US had sunk all 4 Japanese carriers AND the Japanese had sunk all three American ones in the battle. The Japanese would have had two active carriers left and the Americans briefly none. And Japan still could not have won the war.
That part about the plane hitting the Yorktown's island was not true. And only two torpedoes hit the ship from airplanes and did not sink her.. Submarine torpedoes sunk Yorktown the next day and she sank
Exactly, not only that the two carrier task force was the Enterprise and Hornet, which were not found or attacked by the IJN. The Yorktown got it twice from Hiryu - lol. This movie reminds me of King Kong vs Godzilla in Tokyo (1961). Love how they used Akagi and Kaga battle scenes from Midway 1976)) Still pretty good though - so is Isoroku (2011) and Midway (2019) IMO Cheers)) Pray for Ukraine - it's their Midway now 🚀🚀🚀
@@russell1821 1. King Kong vs. Godzilla was Released in 1962. 2. This movie was made in 1960 so it couldn't have ripped from Midway (1976). Infact, Midway took from this movie. 3. The reason it reminds you of King Kong vs. Godzilla is because it was made by the same company.
It's generally not easy changing a japanese aircraft carrier into a submarine...There was always a suspicion our Navy never really got the credit for achieving that...4 times.

Utter unmitigated rubbish. All four Japanese carriers sunk at Midway suffered from significant design flaws which were potentially catastrophic in their nature. They all had highly deficient aviation gasoline storage and distribution systems which did not ameliorate the risk of fuel vapour by purging fuel lines nor adequate protection or ventilation of the fuel tanks which rendered them extremely vulnerable to complete destruction from a single bomb or torpedo hit as well as very poor damage control capabilities. Both Kaga and Akagi were not even constructed as carriers rather than battlecruisers which were only converted after construction had commenced which meant that their designs were inherently a compromise. Soryu and Hiryu, although designed as carriers from the outset, were the first such ships built by Japan so were considered experimental and exploratory in terms of their layout and systems function in order to permit their designs to be improved upon through experience in the construction of Shokaku and Zuikaku which were Japan's first two carriers of a comparable capability and quality to the US Essex Class carriers. There was never any suspicion that the US Navy had caused the sinking of all four of these vessels, stop speaking revisionist garbage.
Now you can all go spend time with your ancestors !! And for all of you Honorable Japanese who made it alive until August 1945 don't stare at the bright lights !!
In both this film and Midway (the 80's one), the strike leader (Tomonaga) was seen hitting the Yorktown in a Kamakaze strike (his plane had been damaged over Midway in the opening attack and was going to run out of fuel). In actual fact, he was shot down by Jimmy 'James' Thatch prior to hitting the carrier.
Midway was from 1976
Youre correct@@RolandPeteur
Take into account the fact this movie is from 1960 and the special effects are excellent.
Fantastic model work and great effects for the era...amazing video and I appreciate the aircraft being true to model and the uniforms being fairly accurate...something Hollywood could take note of today.

Man, the more I find clips like these, the lesser my opinion becomes of the 1976 film "Midway" which I grew up with. There's scarcely any original action footage in that film as it was largely filled in by historical footage and those from other films like this one.
Absolutely agree 👍
Totally agree. Midway 76 brought disgrace to the USA. This movie was supposed to be celebrating US’s bi-Centenary and lifting the spirits of the American people after Vietnam. The 2010’s one, partially funded by the Chinese, was only marginally better and still was no match to that of Tora!
Probably the only thing I'll give the '76 movie credit for is creating a sense of tension and unease between both sides as to where the other will be. They're each encountering difficulties (some self-induced) pinning down where their respective forces are and where they should concentrate their firepower.
The 2019 film I felt lost a bunch of that tension and made it feel too much like that stereotypical and predictable underdog story. On the note about it's influences from China, I felt as a whole it was important to include the effects on the Chinese population enacted by the Japanese in the wake of the Doolittle Raid. On the flipside, the nod to the Japanese sailors involved also seemed a little naive considering that they would not have given American sailors the kind of respect that their opposite would have. The Japanese Navy was just as responsible for letting atrocities happen under their watch as the Army was for theirs.
@@pattheriot3963
I think it's safe to say that the 1970's, ( obviously meant 1976 version to be more precise)midway was as much propaganda as anything else, and much to clean often times to the horror Pacific naval battles actually were.
@@pattheriot3963 The 2019 one should have left the China part to any Doolittle Raid movie and just concentrate on the battle covered by the movie title which is ‘Midway’. There are so much of the battle not covered by the 19 movie - ironically the 76 one was a bit more comprehensive. For both the 76 one and the 19 one, maybe they should have separate Japanese teams doing the Japanese side.
Pretty good effects for the technology. I appreciate the full-size mockups of the planes for the close-ups too.
You are bright.
took words right outta my mouth 😄
Despite Yamamoto's dire prediction about Japan not winning a war with the USA if it drags out for 2 or more years, little did he expect that 4 of his 6 aircraft carriers that had participated in the Pearl Harbor raid, would be sunk 6 months later at the Battle of Midway.
He gambled and unknowingly lost to superior enemy intelligence, which would eventually cost him his life.
A greater tragedy for Japan was the loss of precious pilots, whose experience and skills were hard to replace.
An even greater tragedy were the massive loss of lives of that generation who were sucked into the Pacific war.
Beyond the glorification of war, let us never forget the painful lessons of WWII.

The painful lesson of WW2-
"Screw with the best
die with the rest."
Japan lost surprisingly few pilots at Midway. It was the Guadalcanal campaign that depleted their pilot corps.
That swimming pool will never be the same.
It is remarkable that a movie on such a sensitive topic was made in the 60s, just about 20 years after the Great War, when the wounds of the devastating war had yet not healed in Japan. At this point of time all this seems like an thrilling story from the distant and unseen past, but imagine making a movie in 2022 on some event in 2005 that had greatly shaken the existence of your country? In fact, Japan in the 60s had not even emerged as the pre-eminent technological and industrial power we know of today. That would take about another 20 years to happen, in the early 80s.
Nothing odd about it. Already in 1945 Japan became strategically important for US as a base for controlling USSR's access to the Sea in the Far East, and the importance only grew after the communist victory in the Chinese Civil War as well as USSR's first nuclear test and finally the Korean War. US had to make Japan both happy and capable of contributing cannon fodder for its defense by USA in case of Soviet or Chinese attack. Therefore its WW2 armed forces were portrayed in a relatively favorable light in the contemporary media and there was little to no talk of huge Japanese war atrocities since the victims were now mostly the Cold War enemies (at least until Nixon started courting the Chinese during the final phases of the Vietnam War, hoping to widen the rift between them and the Soviets that appeared back when Kruschev took office in the USSR).
Good point
Well, you are right about how badly Japan was lacking in technology back in the '60's, and it really shows just how much by looking at the special effects in this movie.....
They indeed lack of remorse even until today. What is war criminal for us is war heroes For them. They regret that they lost the war, not started one

Great movie. Scenes from this movie was used in the american Midway from 1976. I like these movie effects rather than todays CGI.

I forgive the special effects given the time it was filmed...and they do use accurate aircraft. One tiny thing. Hiryu's torpedo and dive bomber squadrons attacked separately in two separate missions. They only ever ran into one carrier, the Yorktown, which was sailing in a separate task force from Hornet and Enterprise. When the second wave of Hiryu's attackers reached the Yorktown, the damage was under control and she was steaming along. Hiryu's pilots thought it was a new carrier, not the one the previous wave damaged. The mistake in the two-carrier count might be that as it was roughly just 20 years after the battle the accurate narrative was still being understood. Either way and interesting perspective on the battle.

@freebeerfordworkers Buckmaster was the last to abandon ship (although two were later found alive and onboard still unbeknownst to anyone). He and Fletcher agreed that they should try to salvage the ship after she refused to sink, even though listing badly to port.
.
A salvage crew went aboard on June 6. And it was looking like she could be towed back to Pearl Harbor and refurbished. But then the Japanese submarine snuck through destroyer screen and torpedoed her and the destroyer Hammann.
.
Buckmaster didn't leave the ship too early. Quite the opposite. He did what good captains do. Stayed with his vessel until his crew was off safe. It was looking like she was going to go under. Once it was deemed safe to go back on board he sent in the salvage team. All for naught though. Something like 80+ men died on the Hammann which went down in minutes.

Agreed, there are a couple of problems with this presentation. First of all the HIryu flew off two raids, not one, and they proceeded separately more than an hour apart. Both attacked the Yorktown, which was part of TF17 and the only carrier in that group. The first attack thrust, launched by the Val Dive bombers, scored at lesat three direct hits and temporarily stopped the ship; by the time of the second attack, mounted by the Kate torpedo bombers, Yorktown was under way again and had the fires under control to the extent that the IJN believed they were attacking a separate carrier. However it was the Yorktown again, and they put two fish in to her which did more damage than the bombs.
Very few IJN Vals & Kates survived to return to the Hiryu, although I believe most of the escorting Zeros survived. Yorktown wallowed in the water for several hours, a damage control party actually went on board and looked as htough they would be able to save the ship, pumping out the water and putting her under tow, when an undetected IJN sub turned up and put another three fish in to her (and one into a salvaging destroyer near by, whose depth charges immediately detonated and sunk the ship in a few seconds along with most of her crew), which did fatal damage and she eventually sunk from all those combined hits.

To be precise, 6 Vals and 5 Kates survived, and in both raids, half of the escorting zeroes were shot down. In the first raid (Lt. Kobayashi's Vals), 2 of the escorting zeroes were so shot up attacking the retreating Dauntless raiders that they had to return to Hiryu, one had to be scrapped.

That's what Musashi said never underestimate you enemy.
Way how US picked bomber pilots, told lot of quality. If man physically healthy and able to handling horses in work, he was good enough for training to pilot. In those days, it was most difficult job to farm workers.
By the end of the war Japanese pilots were flying targets. The Zero no longer ruled the sky. Japanese pilots were no better or worse than other pilots. At first they had the superior planes. But just a few months later the Hellcat made it’s first appearance. It was all downhill for the Japanese pilots after that.

Not really there were less than 30 aircraft left over from the other attacks please read history almost half were fighters
Not really. It's generally correct, but in a condensed way. The dive bombers and torpedo bombers were completely separate groups.
Lt. Kobayashi's dive bombers were first, then later came Lt. Tomanaga's torpedo bombers. In between, the Yorktown had enough time to repair the damage from the dive bombers, leading the surviving torpedo bomber commander to conclude they'd damaged a second American carrier.
None of those Japanese pilots lived out the day
I was talking about just the hijue
Hyriu sorry I didn't clarify better
Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu are burning. Japan needs years to build replacements for any of the six carriers of Kido Butai - only Hiryu, Shokaku, and Zuikaku remain. (Only Hiryu remains near Midway.) The flight crews are nearly irreplaceable, given Japan's pilot training woes. Japan's aircraft were well known to have superior range and better torpedoes than the US Navy, along with a superior torpedo bomber. Yet the Japanese steam TOWARDS three American carriers, only making it easier for the USN to deliver additional attacks. Hiryu could have steamed northwest after the other three carriers were destroyed, opening the range for her counterstrike while staying out of range. For God's sake, Nagumo and Yamamoto utterly botched the Battle of Midway - outplayed by Spruance and Nimitz at nearly every decision point, yet Nagumo was allowed to command aircraft carriers again, MULTIPLE TIMES, in the Solomon Islands campaign. Japan's strategy and tactics, along with their admirals and generals, were flawed from top to bottom.
Their strategy was entirely attrition warfare with he concentric rings of islands to wear down the American drive towards Tokyo, yet they never had a chance in a war of attrition - AND EVERY ONE OF THEIR LEADERS KNEW IT. The straw they clung to was the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 where a single, decisive battle ("kantai kessen") would again force their enemy to ask for peace terms.
Think about it. On December 6, 1941, did Japan ever have a hope of seizing even Washington State? Or Alaska? Did the USA have a hope of seizing Japan? This was one of the most insane strategic gambles in history and it failed spectacularly.
Yes and they had two Light Carriers at Midway but to far away to help. They treated their battleships as to important to risk and sent the carriers in first instead of timing the Battleships to show up off of Midway to bombard first thing in morning. The Battleships and Transports should have led so that attacks on them would allow carriers to exploit.
And then The US had two Carriers out one sunk one damaged only one left and the Japanese had two light carriers roughly at match and 8 battleships and tons of others why not continue the invasion? This typical of all their actions including the last in Philippines they needed to keep attacking but instead every time ran letting the US of the hook.
Pearl the massive mistake and like a few other things a great plan temped the Japanese into something they did not want to do. The Japanese were under sanctions from England and the US for atrocities in China. The English had control of the oil and minerals the Japanese needed in the area of South Pacific thur India. The US had nothing they needed that could be practically taken by Japan.
And the Japanese only intended to defend vs US anyway.
US has strong neutrality faction chance the US can't even join the war if the Japanese only attack the British and thus Japan gets everything they want in the war.
Japanese are worried about leaving Philippines in their rear but it's forces not that much. So brain dead smart Japan move is attack British telling US they have no intent to attack US. Even if the US comes in it comes in to help British enforce sanctions on China the US population interest in that war will be much less especially if Japan just shoots up US aircraft and blockades the Philippines. US might even be willing to talk peace talks later that are way less than Japan totally defeated. Maybe even Japan small victory if they defeat US Battleships off of Philippines and brush back much lessor US offensive and get terms they wanted from US. British without US can't win vs German neither can Russia. All lost form a cool plan to surprise the US at pearl.
You might have read Japanese declaration of war not delivered before attack as intended due to code breaking mistake. Even if Japan gets declaration of war to US in time it will not help them as they were trying to be too smart. The Japanese wanted to deliver the declaration of war to US before the attack but too late for US to warn Pearl Harbor in time. Roosevelt only has to change his speech slightly and US still just as offended and wanting blood. Instead of attacked before declaring war he simply says they evilly delivered their war declaration too late for US to warn Pearl still a violation of rules of War.

Little did they know all their hopes & dreams would vanish in a few years
Amazing how the Zero was one of the best planes out there when this war began. But by the end they were pretty much flying targets. I don’t understand how Tojo and his boys underestimated the United States so badly. Yamamoto tried to warn them.
They knew exactly that the US industry could outbuilt them. Their doctrine was based upon dealing a massive blow to the enemy forces, occupy territory while the us was weakened and then find/dictate a favourable peace treaty. Their main mistake was to assume the us (And UK) would negotiate after their initial attack. They hadn't even the capacity to strike US territory with any considerable force.
Not only that but they picked a fight with USA and the British Empire (+ the Dominions) and France and the Netherlands all while ALREADY FIGHTING TH M.DRF.CK.N CHINA, and having taken a shot at the USSR at Lake Khassan and Khalhin Gol...
"How"? Because then, like today, Japanese culture and leadership cannot comprehend people doing anything other than what's expected.
If you lose a war, the victor will revise history. Do you know the fact that the Japanese government helped many Jews? The humanitarian aid of Kiichiro Higuchi, Hideki Tojo, and others was maliciously rewritten as the rescue of Chiune Sugihara on his own initiative. The story that Sugihara was exiled is also a lie. Yamamoto was just against it until the end. Many top officials were against the war, and it took over 100 meetings before they decided to start the war.
Japan did not think the Battleship Yamato could reach Okinawa. But in the American movie, the crew really thought they could win... They did not think they could win the Russo-Japanese War against the great power of Russia. We did not think we could win the Russo-Japanese War against Russia, nor did we think we could win against the United States. To avert war, peace negotiations were held many times. The U.S. knew in advance of the attack on Pearl Harbor!" It is not true that the U.S. knew about the attack on Pearl Harbor in advance. They were looking forward to the attack and waiting for Japan to aggressively pressure them to attack first." If you look it up on Wikipedia, all you will read is a winner-take-all scenario. (Film from the end of the war ->) th-cam.com/video/Wq3bZA6Z0IE/w-d-xo.html (college students' story) Students at the time did not go off to war thinking they could win the war. It was to negotiate a ceasefire. The ship losses for the entire war at Kamikaze were 15%, but it was 15% with almost no forces.

@@nekota5967 But you DID lose, right?
I just wonder if the pilots of today's JAF are as given to hysterics as these guys.
That seems to be a thing in Japanese movies. They yell a lot.
I truly enjoyed this, brought me back to the movie. The Japanese planning was questionable, and Grace wasn't on their side 🤔
I can't tell if the carriers are firing their guns or if they're on fire and blowing up 🤣
@Extreme savage They are using fireworks on a small ship model. That's why. Though you have to give it to them the fact most of their outdated battle effects look more similar to the real naval war footages when compared to the more newer and modern movies.
Using roman candles as tracers in some scenes yet someone said had better effects than Star Wars?
I was waiting for Godzilla to show up and finish off the Yorktown!
Screw the Hiryu,Soryu,Kaga,and Akaga
1:37....That guy battled Godzilla later. He just never caught a break....lol
thats why they build the world largest battleship, The Yamato...its not for defeating the US battle class, but its for a reminder that "you reap what you saw"...The Yamato is a sad history anyway....many of the mens were fighting with full spirits while aboard the ship without knowing the fact that they has to be sacrificed for Japan to open their eyes about their defeat in the war....
In addition to the world's largest battleship with the largest diameter guns ever mounted upon a naval vessel even to this day, they also constructed three of the largest submarines, each capable of housing, launching and recovering upto three torpedo bombers.
It was said that before the U.S. Navy decided to bring the fleet from California to Hawaii, Yamamoto intended to use these submarines to attack and destroy the Panama Canal which would have been an epic, devastating disaster as far as resupplying the Pacific Theater was concerned.
Great special effects ! Just like the Godzilla battle scenes . Thank the gods for Roman Candles ! We used to burn and blow up our model ships & tanks in the same manner as a kid . Fire crackers ( cherry bombs too big ) . or bb guns . Lighter fluid was our main accelerant ! I had a giant mud hole I made Pearl Harbor and used rocks . How can I get a job doing this ?
Muchos de los comentarios que han escrito aquí critican las impresiciones históricas de esta película, que es una visión de la guerra desde la óptica japonesa, esto como si las películas norteamericanas (óptica de los vencedores), fueran muy precisas históricamente, para burdo ejemplo de ello, tenemos la película "Pearl Harbor" del 2001, con aberrantes fallos desde barcos anclados en el puerto que para nada corresponden a la época, modelos de aviones fuera de escala que se notan en las tomas de "peleas de perros", hasta un estúpido triángulo amoroso que sobra en el argumento.
Pero en fin como siempre se ha conocido..."la historia la escriben los vencedores"...y agrego, por supuesto a su conveniencia😡

concuerdo con sus puntos de vista. he leido varios libros sobre la guerra de el Pacifico y he notado como el lado norte americano comenta sus perdidas de una manera tan vaga y con carencia de detalles. deveras quieren los autores y narradores convercer a los lectores y tellevidentes de tan poca precision? y sin embargo narran con todolujo de detalles las perdidas de sus adversarios. pero no dude esto: hollywood y la maquinaria propagandista siempre se ha ocupado en crear montajes. Los EE UU tuvieron muchas mas bajas pero como lo dijo ud. "la historia la escriben los vencedores"
Absolutamente. Película mala como un dolor de muelas. 🤒 Prefiero ver esta diez veces antes que Pearl Harbor.
NICE MOVIE. CHEERS.
I love TAMIYA.
Probaly the most inacurate film I've ever seen.
I just realize most of the comments are people waiting for Godzilla to appear...
Just saw Top Gun Maverick
This footage is up there with that. AND this was the 70's!
I was waiting for Godzilla..😆
Waited for Godzilla to rise out of the water and destroy the whole American toy fleet.
The use of models was fun...But obviously silly. The carrier sparklers were cool.
Yeah things didn't turn out so good for Hiryu later on.
I didn't know it was filmed in 1960 so I take all my laughter back. I was going to say oh look, they used the same special effects people as they did on the Godzilla movies in 57!!
They probably did!!
OMG this is epic!
Black smoke from enegine raising straight up.
Garbage..that is.
As do I, but I fear my best wishes are too late in coming.
Don’t believe I’ve ever seen a film director with the cheek to try and sub in Japanese carriers for American ones
The poor Yorktown. Ya really gotta feel bad for those guys. Did everything they could to get the ship back in order only to have it bombed again and again.
Very cool
Youth rejoice because they haven't met the taste of war: Admiral Yamamoto.
they look like they need some prunes?.../otherwise great movie 🎬
There are a few historical inaccuracies here. The Hiryu didn't find 2 carriers, they only found the Yorktown. I don't know whatever else happens in this story because I haven't watched the movie, but the Yorktown was patched up and the fires put out quickly after this encounter and the Japanese 2nd strike was thought to be on an undamaged carrier, but it was the Yorktown again. The Japanese assumed that it had sunk and thought they were attacking a very different carrier, but NO. It's really a testament to the damage control abilities the Americans had over the Japanese.
@Will he heck as like suicide attacks happened throughout the war... there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between a single pilot making a personal suicide decision and an entire nation making suicide an operational doctrine.
I was expecting Godzilla to come up all thru the scene.....
このときまずは戦艦部隊に飛竜と合流するようにしたらあるいは飛竜は
主力部隊は、機動部隊の後方３７０㎞ですね。おそらく、到着するには、１０時間かかりますよ。
Sounds like Ultraman with different visuals.
This time the enemy is US aircraft carriers instead of Godzilla.

Good model work, though. Actually looks like a Yorktown class carrier.
Imagine if the US had sunk all 4 Japanese carriers AND the Japanese had sunk all three American ones in the battle. The Japanese would have had two active carriers left and the Americans briefly none. And Japan still could not have won the war.
Where's Ultraman!!? Where's Astro Boy and Speed Racer!!??
In the end, the sea turned yellow.
That part about the plane hitting the Yorktown's island was not true. And only two torpedoes hit the ship from airplanes and did not sink her.. Submarine torpedoes sunk Yorktown the next day and she sank
Exactly, not only that the two carrier task force was the Enterprise and Hornet, which were not found or attacked by the IJN. The Yorktown got it twice from Hiryu - lol. This movie reminds me of King Kong vs Godzilla in Tokyo (1961). Love how they used Akagi and Kaga battle scenes from Midway 1976)) Still pretty good though - so is Isoroku (2011) and Midway (2019) IMO Cheers))
Pray for Ukraine - it's their Midway now 🚀🚀🚀
@@russell1821 1. King Kong vs. Godzilla was Released in 1962.
2. This movie was made in 1960 so it couldn't have ripped from Midway (1976). Infact, Midway took from this movie.
3. The reason it reminds you of King Kong vs. Godzilla is because it was made by the same company.
I was expecting Godzilla to show up too..
It's generally not easy changing a japanese aircraft carrier into a submarine...There was always a suspicion our Navy never really got the credit for achieving that...4 times.

Utter unmitigated rubbish. All four Japanese carriers sunk at Midway suffered from significant design flaws which were potentially catastrophic in their nature. They all had highly deficient aviation gasoline storage and distribution systems which did not ameliorate the risk of fuel vapour by purging fuel lines nor adequate protection or ventilation of the fuel tanks which rendered them extremely vulnerable to complete destruction from a single bomb or torpedo hit as well as very poor damage control capabilities. Both Kaga and Akagi were not even constructed as carriers rather than battlecruisers which were only converted after construction had commenced which meant that their designs were inherently a compromise. Soryu and Hiryu, although designed as carriers from the outset, were the first such ships built by Japan so were considered experimental and exploratory in terms of their layout and systems function in order to permit their designs to be improved upon through experience in the construction of Shokaku and Zuikaku which were Japan's first two carriers of a comparable capability and quality to the US Essex Class carriers. There was never any suspicion that the US Navy had caused the sinking of all four of these vessels, stop speaking revisionist garbage.
