antarmike Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Yes, Land Rover in ICIA, but did anybody spot - difficult this one and only for the real experts among us the German tanks in "The Battle of the Bulge", now what were they, hmm.. M47s perhaps? As to "Pearl Harbour"! But then Aegis Cruisers aren't Historic Military Vehicles so perhaps they don't count? http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=58947 http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=213149 Edited January 6, 2011 by antarmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Can I once again recommend this site for those trying to identify vehicles in films.http://www.imcdb.org/makes.php http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=53935 http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=58947 And I suggest that they should check out the " help identify vehicle" section there and if they know of a vehicle out of place and it is not already listed for a given movie they should post it on the IMCDB site.

diamond-t-steve Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) This isn't an enquirey about the wrong vehicles used in films, just wondering where all the Yanky trucks came from for the film "Yanks" ?. But since you are on about wrong vehicles, there was a Series Land - Rover in Ice Cold in Alex, thats the only one I know apart from the 633 Squadron one. Incedently in the last episode of Darling Buds of May, I think there is a Diamond T wrecker.:embarrassed: I noticed the Diamond T in Darling Buds of May. It was right at the end of the episode, you just see the ballast body and rear wheels in the shot but I would recognise that arse anywere. :cool2: Edited January 10, 2011 by diamond-t-steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agripper Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 What are the vehicles on the Bridge in a bridge too far? There is one that is knocked out which looks like a spartan with exttra superstructure added. Would like to know what they did use for all the vehilces?

Enigma Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ok, nobody will probably have noticed. Band of Brothers, first scenes of training, standing outside. No Hawley jumpliners and a lot of liners without frontal eyelets (so helmets from the 60's or later). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o.g-palmer Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I wouldn’t of thought the low pressure fibre liner would of been all that common as jump liner anyway. Only managed to find one so far, they are certainly rarer than most of the high pressure liners. But agree a fair few post war liners (mostly CAPAC) in the series, i think J.Murry rebuilt most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had Hawley jumpliners as well as St. Clairs as a stopgap till the better one arrived (Inland and later Westinghouse). The Hawley jumpliner would still be rare but I'd expect to see 1 or 2. Just a small detail though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonm Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 here's one. wife just made me sit down to watch "South Pacific", set in the Pacific in WW2, second scene, in drives an M38! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHillyard Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) (not sure if this one has been said but..) On The Dirty Dozen as they are exiting the Château a ferret done in German colours with a turret like piece on top tries to stop them. On 633 squadron on the training missions where one accidentally crashes into the cliff the officers get into what seems like a land rover partly obscured by a bush. On the film Catch-22 an m38 jeep is used. On Battle of the Bulge several m38s are used aswel Edited November 11, 2011 by MHillyard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a superstructure built on top of the hull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonm Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Must have been a captured one, Going back to "South Pacific" the hairstyles were also from the wrong era, but matching in well with the M38!

MHillyard Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 i believe the tanks used in Bridge at Remagen are post war like used in Battle of the Bulge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHillyard Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 was just watching Operation Crossbow, on one scene you see either a Diamond T or an Antar pulling away from a V2 launching site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
