MIDWAY (2019) | Behind the Scenes of WWII Action Movie

They're coming! The Japs are coming! They're coming! I can cut from this image. Explosions too. Yeah, I'm doing that. Yeah, baby! Welcome to the most difficult job in the world. Layton, how reliable are these estimates of the Japanese position? They represent the best guess based on the intelligence that we have. Aye. And Best, I'm bumping you up from XO. You're the new skipper of Bombing Six. Are you really sure you want your white flying wingman with you tonight? Nobody told me there'd be U.S.O. girls. You wouldn't mind letting me do a little lap by myself, would you? We both know you already can't handle a woman. Where are we headed? You gotta see this. What the hell is going on? Pearl is shooting at our guy, sir. Yeah, maybe it isn't Pearl. Look, call Dickinson. We got a transmission that he was under attack. And then nothing. Sir! Look at this. Get this to the Admiral. Now! You're ready for this. See him, like, turning? And then with his turn, he'll go back to you. Because he will, like, say, why is the dog using the glass? Right? That work? Sully, get up! On behalf of the British Empire, I wish to thank Admiral Yamamoto for this invitation. May our nations work together to maintain peace on the seas. There's another rumor that your life may be in danger. That the Nationalists think you're too moderate and have targeted you for assassination. Pearl Harbor. It's a great victory. But if we don't do anything, the US military will suppress us. To Roy. May you get to heaven before the devil knows you're dead. To Roy. We take back our victory from defeat. Action! Do you want us to contact Admiral Spruance? No, he can't break radio silence. But this is torture. If we don't do anything, the US military will suppress us. To Roy. May you get to heaven before the devil knows you're dead. Now everyone who has seen Raiders of the Lost Ark will tell you that the best scene in the film is when Indiana Jones is confronted by a skilled swordsman during a chase scene. Instead of picking up a sword and dueling with him as the script said he should, Harrison Ford improvised by pulling out his pistol and shooting the swordsman instead. It was all thanks to a bout of food poisoning that left Ford too sleep-deprived and sluggish to do another big action scene.
