      Never heard that one before. But, there's an interview with Shoji Kawamori where he talks about how how much this movie was aping shit from Macross Plus and you can just tell how salty he is.

        yeah there's def some M+
        but yeah I vaguely recall there was a Tom Cruise starring in Yukikaze that fizzled around this that maybe ended up Stealth, sorta like the speculation that Real Steel probably started life as a Rock em Sock em Robots movie that Hasbro dropped unlike Ouija and Battleship

            Maybe it'll come out or get some news eventually. 2023 has been a weird year in the sense that a lotta vaporware projects hafe sorta came back to life this year.

              Hollywood writers are on strike now. No Hollywood project is getting news if it wasn't done being made already. Nevermind that this will kill American theaters again and drive people to easier entertainment again.

            Yukikaze Cruise turned into TG Maverick. Still highly recommend, but more 25% Ace Combat than any Yukikaze DNA.

            yeah Cruisikaze became Maverick, and I might be mixing that up with Stealth

      You know... this is making me think the "Frick off, tourist" poster might be in the right all along.

    Reminder that this movie almost caused a war with Russia.

      given how much trouble they have with equally drunken slav morons in their armpit of the world they call territory I'm not too worried about their prospects about global projection

          I find it funny that only NOW the GOP seems to care about the MIC's gluttonous spending, yet not a peep during all the middle east shit. Cheaper to fund someone else fighting an enemy than to fight them ourselves, too.

          It's been a civil discussion thus far. Why don't you complain about the schizos babbling about Black Rock?

        Wait what

        It was mostly because of dumbass russian spies that didn't get the memo that this was a movie prop, got scared and sent info to the fatherland that this was a new super plane of the US and apparently Russia upped their production of the Pak Fa thanks to this.
        It was just a slight tension in a post-Cold War era.

    The only part I sort of enjoyed was the ring of fire sequence.
    Everything else was so bad though. Mind you, I fit squarely in the target demographic, and I still hated this piece of shit.
    Blatant CIA-approved propaganda piece (muh arab terrorists, chemical weapons, north korea bad guys, incompetent russians, AI a good guy after all).
    Overlong, pimping all the wrong scenes like the fighters landing at the carrier, the vacation in Thailand, I could go on. This was directed by the Fast and Furious 1 guy? Couldn't tell from the movie itself.
    And last but not least: the designs were shit. The Talon comes from the "bigger is better" school of thought, while EDI is a lame ass attempt at making that chunk of steel look "sleek"

      They could've made the sukhoi much shittier, that scene was pretty nice too.

    This is definitely one of my "frick you I liked it" movies. Jets and Jessica biel in a two piece. Even most /m/en can appreciate that much.
