Iron Sky was an entertaining, multi-national European science fiction film with some terrific set designs and above-expectations special effects. Its theme? What if the Nazis made it to the dark side of the Moon...and now want to come back and invade Earth?

Well, the sequel looks even more promising, and it's being crowd-funded. (Address at the end of this trailer.) Nazis and dinosaurs! YOWZA!  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Note the absolutely coincidental remarkable resemblance of THEIR President to the one American woman liberals hate the most....  :wink:

I've seen trailers of Iron Sky, but I guess it was never released in the States! Would loved to have seen it!

The DVD was available through usual retail sources here. Here's its first four minutes (and well worth the viewing)....

I hear Spielberg cut the scene out of Hitler riding a t-rex in Jurassic World. Had he not, you'd be just as excited for that movie as I am.

I don't get excited about ANY Steven Spielberg film.

Granted, Germanic satire tends to be heavy-handed, and the first Iron Sky did have a LOAD of that --- but even it has far more genuine laughs than anything that dreadful Spielberg ever cranked out.

Spielberg doesn't typically go for laughs. Indiana Jones, SavingPrivate Ryan, Jaws, Munich, and Schindler's List were all fantastic!

Had it not been for George Lucas, the Indiana Jones franchise would have been far less than it was. Gotta love how Indy simply shoots a Muslim standing what, 15 feet away, rather than fight him like a real man? Dang, aren't those libs just fine with all that?....

Jaws was fake, ill-paced, and badly-photographed with most of the cast giving flat, unconvincing performances (despite Roy Sheider's very best efforts). As for the rest, I didn't see them.

In fairness, Spielberg's splendid 1971 feature-length debut film Duel, with Dennis Weaver as a driver being bullied by an 18-wheel truck, was an excellent start.

I was surprised today reading through his filmography that I do hold about 20 of his films on DVD. Cowboys and Aliens (2011) was the last thing he touched that I bothered to buy: Daniel Craig got me into the theater, not Harrison Ford. In both cases I could see the end coming for both actors in action roles.

In every single one of Spielberg's films, the leading men are growing older now, including Daniel Craig, Sam Neil, Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, and Antonio Banderas. Bob Hoskins and Robin Williams are dead, and for franchise-homicide, look at box-office for Men in Black II and then tell me there'll be a #4.

Where, I ask, is Spielberg's version of a farm team?

His money backs the terrific Noah Wyle TV series Falling Skies, but aside from that Spielberg offers me nothing worth watching. He's coasting on what reputation he used to have, before he polished his stuff so well that any originality got buffed out in the final rewrite.

Buffed, or, in the case of the once-admirable Coen Brothers, BOUGHT out with that sorry remake of Grit. (Bad Ethan. Bad Joel. Bad, bad!)

Jeff Bridges is a wonderful talent, but THAT film stank on dry ice. Joel and Ethan musta conned The Dude big-time to pin him with that turkey. Either that or Spielberg waved a paycheck that had too many zeroes for Jeff to resist.

When we finally look back at America's first century of film-making, yes, Spielberg's contributions will be there. But in truth, Munich and Schindler's List were message films. Leftists love message films. I already know what they're peddling, before the opening-credits roll.

I agree that his films certainly aren't what they used to be. But Munich and Schindler's List were pretty historically accurate without a liberal message. Obviously, his Jewish heritage played a part in him making the movies but other than that, I don't think there were any liberal messages. But it's been awhile since I saw them so maybe I should watch them again to make sure.

Saving Private Ryan was fantastic. WWII vets had to leave during the D-Day opening scene because it was too realistic. I just watched it last Veteran's Day and don't remember seeing any liberal messages there either. I highly recommend you give that one a try.

I can pretty-much tolerate the 'messages', but have trouble tolerating Spielberg's late-developing penchant for lib casting

I first came across Schieder in "The French Connection". Great movie and I liked his acting more than Gene Hackman's. Of course that meant I had to see  "The Seven Ups", not that great a movie, but Schieder was great.

My favorite Schieder movie has got to be "All That Jazz"! Even though I'm not gay, I've always loved musicals and since my sister took dance in college, I knew who Bob Fosse was before seeing the movie.

Schieder liked roles about people who simply didn't care much about following the rules, be it a cop in Seven-Ups, a harried factory owner in 52 Pick-Up or the hardened combat warrior in The Fourth War where a simple act of throwing a snowball touches off an international event. (Jurgen Prochnow fans will like this last one: Prochnow is an eerie early warning of Vladimir Putin was as a younger man, in a tidy John Frankenheimer effort).

Loved #1 (Iron Sky) , will see #2 but I;ve been praying that "Panzer 88" (Spooky tale of Eastern Front German King Tiger Tank crew pursued by terrifying "Golem" creature conjured by Ukrainian Jews) goes into Production from long pre production phase.

My wife signed up for us and we heard last week that they DID in fact achieve their crowdfunding start-up goal and the film will see production. I'll keep an eye out for Panzer 88.
