yeah, the fleet was for regulars.. rnvr guys usually did the n atlanic runs... i guess frigates/ destroyers at a push would be their top level, but most would be in bath tubs and corvettes.. downright dangerous work they did, and did it very well. very much underratedQuote:

An odd film with fabulous scenes and sounds; script is occasionally terrible and often just strange.. A film you'll love or hate i guess.
This is the Criterion BluRay release, which is a 2k scan. sound is 24 bit and its an excellent soundtrack.

The guitar destroyed by Russell's character was not a prop but an antique 1870s Martin guitar lent by the Martin Guitar Museum. According to sound producer Mark Ulano, the guitar was supposed to have been switched with a copy to be destroyed, but this was not communicated to Russell; everyone on the set was "pretty freaked out" at the guitar's destruction, and Leigh's reaction was genuine, though "Tarantino was in a corner of the room with a funny curl on his lips, because he got something out of it with the performance." Museum director Dick Boak said that the museum was not told that the script included a scene that called for a guitar being smashed, and determined that it was irreparable. The insurance remunerated the purchase value of the guitar. As a result of the incident, the museum no longer lends props to film productions.
Cant help but think Tarantino may have did it on purpose;)
Heard of it, but know nothing about it. Amazing cast though.Quote:
