Arthur B @Arthur135 Dec 15, 2025 How much money did they spend on this nonsense !! See more JPB T @RT51406857 Aug 11, 2025 56% ?? Are you kidding me ?? This is without a doubt one of the finest World War I movies ever made, next only to The Blue Max with George Peppard. The uniforms, the set pieces, the planes and the action are amazing. The storyline is straightforward and simple and a lot of the scenarios that happened in reality are accurately portrayed here. An absolute classic - horribly underrated and hopefully someday it will see the recognition and praise that it so richly deserves in cinema.

Set during WW1, it’s the story of Baron von Richthofen, the ace German pilot known for his tri-wing plane, sacrificing speed for maneuverability in tight quarters dogfights, and Canadian pilot Roy Brown, who battled von Richthofen in his final engagement. While the ground action is a bit dull and doesn’t seem to give much insight into either character, the aerial scenes are often spectacular (especially considering the budget), but do tend to get repetitive midway through the movie. Despite ultimately falling a little flat, it’s a fairly decent effort from the frugal Corman in what turned out the be his penultimate directing effort.

As historical accurate as a film could get, though it is debated if Brown really did shoot Von Richthofen or some Australian machine gunner from the ground, since The Red Baron was uncharacteristically flying low to the ground. Love the aerial sequences, fantastic to see real planes flying. Looks damn good for a low budget flick from the 70s.

Von Richthofen deserves better, also as a Canadian we are not American's. This was painful to watch. I have no idea what movie Margaret Hinxman watched. As she has reported how amazing it is.
