And historically incorrect! U571 was never captured by the allies but U-110 was and the Enigma machine captured from it and this is what the film is based upon.



I believe they say in the movie that it's based on a compilation of events, not a history lesson. It's not that bad IMO. I'd rather watch The Enemy Below though---also not a history lesson. wink

I liked Eastwood and Van Cleef in For a Few Dollars More. Fun flick and not quite the time commitment to watch. LOL

Is Van Cleef really missing a digit on his hand in the final scene, is that makeup effects or a stand-in?

Yes but at least "The Enemy Below" didn't have the obligatory race relations scene between a white officer and an African-American sailor, it didn't have asinine dialogue and it also didn't attribute something major to the US which was in fact done by the British.

Oh cry me a river! It's not like we sent Ben AFLAC over there to fight the Battle of Britain for them again.

Get your history correct Kryptonite, it's Ben Affleck , ace pilot and saviour of the free world ..as everyone knows , if it wasn't for Ben' outstanding skill, leadership and that hare brained scheme when he flew to Berlin and impregnated Eva and Magda..well we could all be speaking Lebanese goid forbid!

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

According to IMDb he is really missing the finger.

He was missing the last joint of his middle finger, a disfigurement prominently featured in the climactic gunfight of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). He actually lost it while building a playhouse for his daughter, although there were rumors that it happened in a road accident or a bar fight.
