A trivia question for all of you out there...

 

What 1961 movie features the F 346 Flora of the Royal Danish Navy?

 

Hint: A line from the move is "There is no reason to be afraid. The military has everything in hand." (This, of course, pretty much guarantees that everything will go pear-shaped almost immediately.)

My poor guess is The Guns of Navarone given it is the only 1961 waterish war movie I know.

Not even close, sir.

 

Here are a few more hints...

 

* Think low budget

* There is a lot of stock footage of Copenhagen

* The Flora hits her target...and people quickly realize this was not a smart thing to do...

"There is no reason to be afraid. The military has everything in hand."

 

That sounds like something that doesn't quite fit a war movie.

 

Some kind of sci-fi movie.. aliens? or giant monster? Snowzilla

On holidays and lazy: perhaps something about a Sea Serpent?

Thanks to the hint and aid-memoire of Mack, very probably the movie is Reptilicus (1961):

Yes, indeed, it is Reptilicus. A truly dreadful movie, even by my low standards!

I like very much the bad movies, the others are too standard for my vicious mind

Can we change this into a more regular thing, because I've got a trivia question I want to ask.

Ask, Silent Hunter, please!

OK, which sci-fi movie features USS Ranger, but playing a CVN?

The Final Countdown?

No, that's Nimitz, playing Nimitz. The CVN it is doubling for possesses a very well known name.

Ohhh, yes, I see, Star Trek VI: The Voyage Home, I almost not remembered it, hehehe

Trivia was a regular thing on HarpGamer awhile back. No reason not to resurrect the practice, if people want to take it up.
