Was 'Star Wars' inspired by the battle scenes in 'Air Force'?
This was a truly enjoyable film to watch. Just wondered if the battle scene in this film inspired the first "Star Wars" film. When one of the gunners shoot a Japanese plane and it explodes, the gunner turns around, smiles and tells the others about it. Also when the first planes enter the scene, one of the airmen declares "Here they come!"... both remarkably like the scenes in the first "Star Wars" movie.
"Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown!"
