Mgellis Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 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.)

TonyE Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 My poor guess is The Guns of Navarone given it is the only 1961 waterish war movie I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

mack Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 "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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncepulido Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 On holidays and lazy: perhaps something about a Sea Serpent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncepulido Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks to the hint and aid-memoire of Mack, very probably the movie is Reptilicus (1961): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056405/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptilicus http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Reptilicus http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/Reptilicus (mention about the use of depth charges against Reptilicus).

Mgellis Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yes, indeed, it is Reptilicus. A truly dreadful movie, even by my low standards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncepulido Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I like very much the bad movies, the others are too standard for my vicious mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Hunter UK Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 OK, which sci-fi movie features USS Ranger, but playing a CVN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncepulido Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 The Final Countdown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Hunter UK Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 No, that's Nimitz, playing Nimitz. The CVN it is doubling for possesses a very well known name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

private Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Trivia was a regular thing on HarpGamer awhile back. No reason not to resurrect the practice, if people want to take it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
