Talk:Bulletproof (1988)

I've watched a lot of bad movies for this site, but good God, this might be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, and I'm only a half hour in. --Funkychinaman 00:22, 20 April 2012 (CDT)

For a B-grade 1980's action film it's not bad. I own much worse, If I had a DVD copy I would make you watch "Steele Justice" with me.Rockwolf66 01:58, 20 April 2012 (CDT)

Action-wise, it hasn't been bad, but the writing is atrocious. My favorite line so far is "the armor is thick enough to survive anything from a Stinger to a ten-foot SAM." Does the tank fly too? I don't know, I'm only half way through. --Funkychinaman 10:15, 20 April 2012 (CDT)

Sadly no. The tank is just a funky looking tank with lot's of guns on it. But here is a historic fact for you. Durring the Yon Kippur war Israeli tankers encountered Egyptian SAM Sites. According to the Israeli tankeres the SAM operatiors tried to use their sams as anti tank weapons. there were missiles the size of telephone poles hitting tanks...and doing only cosmetic damage to the hull.

Well, it's because a SAM is basically a hollow tube made of tinfoil. Collision mechanics says almost all the energy of the collision would go into the missile destroying itself rather than doing work on the tank's armour. It's much like if you punch a wall as hard as you can you'll break every bone in your hand and do absolutely nothing to the wall. Evil Tim 11:56, 20 April 2012 (CDT)

Speaking of the vehicles, IMDb says the T-72 from Red Dawn is in there. They say there's a Hind-mockup, based on a Sea King, but I've already seen an unmodified S-62, so I'm guessing it might be the same mockup from Red Scorpion. As for the MBT-90 itself, it sort of looks like the tank from XXX: State of the Union, but I've only seen it so far from one side. I'll get caps for the page. --Funkychinaman 12:05, 20 April 2012 (CDT)

There's a surprising number of "that guy's" in the film. --Funkychinaman 12:05, 20 April 2012 (CDT)
