Goofs

The US transport that delivers Zamperini at the end is a Lockheed Electra with Australian civil markings. Furthermore, the non-regulation stenciling on the nose says "Army Air Corp" when the Air CORPS became the Army Air Forces in 1941. The military "serial" is the current Aussie registration, VH-HID.

what a shame
1 May 2015 | by See all my reviews

very poor compared to the book or the true story this film should have been an epic, no depth, so much was missed out extremely disappointing, I'm pleased I have read the book so I could get a true representation of this mans endeavour. There are so many characters brought to life in the book, Miss Jollie couldn't even bring the lead roll to life just like her acting. What a shame, this man was a true maverick before during and after the war, seems like she had the budget and the actors just no direction. Stories like this can inspire internationally and be timeless in the right hands, this film will be forgotten very quickly unless you've read the book and for those whom have had the privilege of living the story and knowing the characters through the book will remember the film for its grievous contempt and sacrilege to what the human spirit can endure.
