Gunbus AKA Sky Bandits | Full Movie | Action, Western, Comedy | Scott McGinnis

[@kidchalleen4250]

My brother and I watch bad movies together as a pastime. This was one of his random choices and from the title, we braced ourselves for a real stink fest. It turned out to be the worst bad movie he's ever chosen, in that: it's a delightful film. We loved it, fun characters, surprising cinetography and technical direction, great costumes, skilled and talented actors, and just enough stretching of reality to make this so much fun. I LOVED this move and will be watch it again for many years to come!

Sky Bandits! (As it was titled when released in the USA, anyway). Loved this movie when it came out during my fifth grade year and I still love it today! This was such a fun, lighthearted adventure film! To lift my spirits after watching the much darker "1917", I watch this film! LOL!

A good 'popcorn' film, thanks for the post. Historical notes : The Gunbus (Fe 2) was for it's time a plane pilots liked but... As described by Frederick Libby, an American ace who served as an F.E.2b observer in 1916 : When you stood up to shoot, all of you from the knees up was exposed to the elements. There was no belt to hold you. Only your grip on the gun and the sides of the nacelle stood between you and eternity. Toward the front of the nacelle was a hollow steel rod with a swivel mount to which the gun was anchored. This gun covered a huge field of fire forward. Between the observer and the pilot a second gun was mounted, for firing over the F.E.2b's upper wing to protect the aircraft from rear attack ... Adjusting and shooting this gun required that you stand right up out of the nacelle with your feet on the nacelle coaming. You had nothing to worry about except being blown out of the aircraft by the blast of air or tossed out bodily if the pilot made a wrong move. There were no parachutes and no belts. No wonder they needed observers. Airships quickly became a scourge. German Zeppelins bombed Liège and Antwerp in Belgium. Reginald “Rex” Warneford of the Royal Naval Air Service, flying a Moraine-Saulnier airplane, took off on June 6 from an airfield in Belgium with a load of six bombs for a bombing raid on, ironically enough, airship sheds. Spotting airship LZ37 he attacked, was driven off by machine-gun fire, but gained enough altitude to swoop down on the airship, dropping a bomb on it and destroying it. Warneford’s airplane was damaged by the explosion, forcing him to land behind enemy lines. He managed to repair his aircraft, restart his engine, take off and fly back to his base. This remarkable display of skill and coolness (and also a demonstration of the inherent vulnerability of the slow, hydrogen-filled Zeppelin) resulted in an award of the Victoria Cross, Britain’s highest award for bravery.

Good light hearted fun. Highly recommended for family viewing.

[@pizzaki582]

OMG I finally found it. 13:12 Been look for this scene for 20 year's. This movie was on T.V one day, I was so young could not remember the name. TY for the upload.

[@peterbarry7621]

Exactly! Some of it stuck in my mind since I was a kid. Thought I dreamed it...

[@raymondyee2008]

Finally got to see this super hilarious WW1 movie from 1986. Just don't take the plot seriously never mind the bizarre aircraft.

[@vig4121]

15 minutes in n I’m loving this movie, good comedy good laughs. 😂🤣😍

[@waynekrisell8421]

That was great movie fun, reminiscent of chitty chitty bang bang, without the musical parts. Loved it, thanks. Love anything with airplanes .

[@thomasw.glasgow7449]

more like catch that pigeon meets those magnificent men in their flying machines , aye !

[@WanderlustZero]

Seems to exist in the same Bizarro steampunk-universe World War 1 as 'Biggles' Adventrures in Time'

[@emmanuelsalas475]

I don't remember what year I watch in Cinema..but I think 1988.. I was 12 y old but now I searched in utube👌👍🥰

[@gothicpagan.666]

Great little family film. We thank you the up load

[@danielgilek4664]

THAT was a GREAT bit of FUN! Thank You!!!

[@spiderlime]

the zeppelin and it's captain reminded me of the albatross from "master of the world" with vincent price. a possible influence.

[@brucebaldy]

Terrific movie.

[@cuddlybear4108]

Thank you for this film. ❤❤❤❤

[@B2Hives]

Better than Top Gun and better acting too.

[@blondbowler8776]

Another fun flick from the Popcorn. Thank you.

[@willymac2306]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC 💯 💯

[@jamesmaythearsonist]

The movie is so bad, it's good.

[@notwocdivad]

Was the soundtrack meant to be like that? especially nearer the end? Still an enjoyable flight of whimsy!! But one thing, Why did they call the plane the GUNBUS when there wasn't a gun on it???

[@kylynnscott332]

The model of plane used originally had a gun, and was the first fighter, dubbing it ‘gunbus’ IDK why this one doesn’t have it

[@richardlangton6804]

thank you

[@deloreandmc9600]

Great films

[@doktor_ghul]

I just wish one of two things had happened: either we got to see the massive German zeppelin warship crash and burn like the Hindenburg, OR the sky bandits turned the warship and the base into their own personal pirate base, and became true Pirates of the Skies, so there could have been a high adventure sequel. Just going back to pooting around in the gunbus was a bit of a waste of potential. Just to honor him, I would have renamed the warship THE FRITZ.

[@abbeymclane6985]

Fritz is played by Ronald Lacey aka Toht the Melting Nazi From Raiders of the Lost Ark

[@bentleyrigg9278]

But them youth no easy very entertaining

[@marionlacebal9498]

I was eating popcorn the whole movie...thanks Popcorn 😁👍👍👍

[@rogueriderhood1862]

Of course the first line in the film should have been 'You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!'

[@margaretboardman9069]

Loved it

[@NTSRFR4]

So, those guys have natural flying ability? Who'd a thunk?

[@chrishartwig5230]

Planes back then were a lot simpler

[@toddandrews9829]

Never seen or heard of it but that was a kick! 👍

[@user-bu7cs3qh7w]

Very Aesthetic

[@jeffborgesen1710]

Definitely funny

[@patriciacooper1308]

Wow I didn't expect it to be so good 😂

[@marklong4588]

Nice n easy for a sunday....Many thanks x

[@NTSRFR4]

Not bad, but unfortunately the sound gets messed up at about the last 16 minutes -

[@jeremychannel333]

This is classy & the Amercian spirit I've grown up with I enjoyed this movie tremendously it was alot of fun to watch

[@menow5118]

Funny movie

[@benthecartoonist3518]

Roblox Zeppelin Wars: The Netflix Adaptation

[@caroldemaris7151]

Sound was poor quality, couldn't hear a lot of it, missing captions made it a lot less enjoyable

[@carlsagan2371]

Death, AND glory!

[@paulipuhakka8788]

Not too shabby of a movie. Kinda of a Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid humor in there (Redford and Newman)

[@rjl110919581]

that good laugh watch movie

[@Thompson-xp1mk]

I had stopped watching it on the way because of not being interesting and afterwards watched it again which was like comedy

[@yamato-yosoroku-klausketeer]

ビデオのパッケージの記憶だけど製作費は日本円換算で23億8000万円と書かれてたと思う。

[@rotaman8555]

It had a good premise, but ended weak. And where are the girls? Did they leave them behind?

[@kennynvake4hve584]

Exactly what I said..the girls especially Valerie steffen(the blond)...some reason I fell in love with her the first time I seen her.

[@paulipuhakka8788]

They could have at least brought the two hotties back with them. They were both pretty nice!!! It would have been a better ending to see that they brought them back home. Just as well it was a good flick.

[@daonlyrainsolo]

Me like

[@rogerscottcathey]

this may be just cheesy enough to be watchable. Not sure. Kind of tv-ish.

[@bnipmnaa]

The yanks didn't fight in 1917. Their first action was in May 1918.

[@discosecret6363]

bnipmnaa there also wasn’t anything remotely resembling a “Gun Bus” in 1917. It’s a movie!

[@paulipuhakka8788]

You party killer!

[@lifeofbassman7228]

53:52 You can not hurt this great ship with your puny weapons Ok where are the matches That will get rid of an enemy airship pretty quickly

[@firewaterforgeofarizona4304]

One weird movie!

[@TheHippogriffe]

Sound quality in the last 30 minutes or so was extremely poor. Took a lot of patience to make it to the end.

[@Phooie]

Howfun

[@Xyfuuu]

Most probably the worst movie I've watched.... Truly terrible.

[@craighatzi6559]

Can a movie be cute and lame at the same time?

[@Thompson-xp1mk]

It is not interesting

[@salvagemonster3612]

This movie is pure crap.

[@buddhaboy-]
