abn deuce Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Another clip that may also be Iwo Jima a mix of American aircraft , Japanese aircraft , coastal guns and Sherman at the end , there are several scenes that may be upsetting to some as they show dead bodies , the same girl appears at the end of this clip as well . Again as found on Youtube Something went wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Who was that chick at the beginning? I've seen this kind of thing before. The girl is in the 'Lead In' or 'Lead Out' where you also get the 10,9,8.... countdown. I think it was to check on the colour of the film in processing and is common on 16mm film. Not normally shown, as projectionists usually start the film after the 10,9,8.. countdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
