10 More Insanely Accurate War Movie Details
Fascinating weapons, actual real-life veterans, and other incredibly accurate war movie moments.
It's always impressive when filmmakers go that extra mile to add an additional layer of authenticity to the action going down on the big-screen.
And it's that sort of terrific attention to detail that often makes the regularly hard-hitting and always fascinating genre of war movies such a rewarding watch for everyone from experts on historical conflicts, to real-life veterans, to folks who just enjoy learning more about certain battles and periods.
Had the following little, highly accurate moments not been dropped into these films about various world wars and more modern warfare, it's likely each and every one of these pictures would have still made for a gripping watch.
But it's these fabulous chunks of historical accuracy that help make already compelling scenes feel that bit more real, and leave you with no choice but to salute the figures who carefully put together eventual Oscar-winners and other unforgettable war stories.
From super popular graffiti that was very much present around the time of a world war, to the many different ways weapons were presented in various showdowns - and after already showing you two other lists-full - here are even more ridiculously accurate details in pictures about war.
10. Actual Blitz Survivors Can Be Seen - Battle Of Britain
Boasting a stacked cast, with the likes of Michael Cane, Laurence Olivier, Christopher Plummer and Ian McShane all popping up at various points, 1969's Battle of Britain focuses on the titular WWII events which saw the British protect their country from the Nazi Luftwaffe.
And during the Guy Hamilton-directed film, various civilians are seen sheltering from the Blitz in London Underground stations, with extras obviously being needed for these particular moments.
What you likely didn't realise is that many of the folks pretending to be Brits escaping the air raids here were actually real survivors who experienced these horrific bombings in reality.
Unsurprisingly, the memories of those terrible attacks during the filming of these scenes led to some of said extras asking to be excused for a moment as they composed themselves (via Anglotopia). Even just pretending to relive these events must have been an ordeal, right?
It's a small detail, for sure, but one that makes these specific WWII London Underground shots feel that little more authentic once you know of them.
