The "Saving Private Ryan" scence, when Hanks empties his .45 at the Panzer, it blows up, and Mark Hanna flies straight through the smoke.
or "Empire of the Sun" you can feel the palpable excitement of the child actor, as the Mustang goes past at low-level
Mind u, I'd have been jumping up and down too...
Certain Gun Camera Film does it to me too
Mustang Pilot shooting up a horse drawn German field kitchen in the series "World at War" and the film from a P51 gun camera, showing the aiming point, at the same height as the door on a JU52. That Pilot was absolutely Fangs out.
Which leads me on, to another topic....... :0)
