Movie Reviews of Flying Tigers
Movie Review: The Duke - The Flying Tigers
Summary: 5 Stars
OK - we all know that the men of the AVG disowned this movie version of their exploits. We know The Duke plays a fictional role here - but he still does the Tigers proud, in my opinion. Regretably, there is no other movie (that I know of) made of the AVG. Looking at it through today's prism, the movie is corny. The "Chinese" actors are cliche' and the scenes on the ground are trite. However, the movie was made a long time ago, and designed for movie goers of another generation. The story is still a good one, and gives a small glimpse of some hardships endured by the real Tigers of Chennault's AVG. I'm happy to have it as part of my collection of works devoted to this high-spirited group of fine American men (and Olga).Mike McCaffrey

Movie Review: Duke's first war movie...A Great One!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think the aspect that I enjoyed most about this movie is that even though it is a John Wayne movie, we see a lot of character development from the other actors as well. In 1942, John Wayne was not yet a top 10 movie actor, so the director did not have to have the whole movie spin around him (not that there's anything wrong with that!). But this movie gives us insight into a number of men the Duke have under his command, and the movie is a much richer experience for it. As for the transfer to DVD, it varies from good to excellent. Certainly not as good as Republic's 50th anniversary version, released on Laserdisc. But the DVD has behind the scenes information on the cast members, after the movie finishes. All in all, a great John Wayne movie that no fan should be without!Movie Review: Good Story and Cast
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good film about the Flying Tigers stationed in China. With John Wayne at the helm of the volunteers they dogfight their way to victory one plane at a time against the Japanese aggressors in W.W.II. before America entered the war. The film plays like a soap opera at times but good flying sequences and a script that explores the camaraderie of these men make the film very entertaining and rewarding.Movie Review: Flying Tigers, flying to glory
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent John Wayne movie that takesm place during the second World War. John Wayne is the leader of a group of pilots in the AVG or Flying Tigers. He recruits an old friend to join. John Carroll plays the hot shot pilot who is only out for glory and pay. After a tragic incident, will he grow up? Lots of action, humor and even some romance provided by Anna Lee.Movie Review: Love all WW2 movies
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a collector, and love all the old old movies, remember seeing them as a child......when I die, I wish my grandchildren to see these wonderful movies, made in black and white and without foul language....
John Wayne, bless him, never made a dud movie in his lifetime...... cheers
