Topic: Attack Force Z


  
  Attack Force Z - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Attack Force Z is a 1982 Australian World War II film, directed by Tim Burstall.
It is based on a real mission that took place during the war, and was shot in Taiwan.
One of the survivors is a defecting Japanese government official, and he is believed to hold a secret that could end the war.

 Osprey - When it Counted
The attacks on the airfields were highly effective, but the nature of the targets makes it impossible to separate and analyse the damage caused by dive-bombing, level bombing and strafing, and the consequent fires and explosions.
The statistics of the Z Force action three days after Pearl Harbor and of the attack on Admiral Doorman's task force two months into the war graphically illustrate a downward trend from the accuracy rate achieved at Pearl Harbor.
Z Force and Doorman's task force were moving targets, defended with fierce anti-aircraft fire from the start.

Force 10 From Navarone was a sequel to the 1961 blockbuster The Guns of Navarone and tells the tale of ten widely divergent WW II troubleshooters who attempt to blow up a crucial bridge in Yugoslavia.
As in the first Navarone film, one of the guerillas is a traitor: group leader Mallory (Robert Shaw) knows the identity of the turncoat, but can't prove it until it's almost too late.
Force 10 From Navarone is credited as being "inspired" by Alistair McLean's novel Guns of Navarone.

 Heart Attack (myocardial infarction) by MedicineNet.com
Even though the symptoms of a heart attack at times can be vague and mild, it is important to remember that heart attacks producing no symptoms or only mild symptoms can be just as serious and life-threatening as heart attacks that cause severe chest pain.
Most of the deaths from heart attacks are caused by ventricular fibrillation of the heart that occurs before the victim of the heart attack can reach an emergency room.
The 1% to 10% of heart attack victims who die later include those victims who suffer major damage to the heart muscle initially or who suffer additional damage at a later time.

 DVD Times - Attack Force Z   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Attack Force Z was shot in November and December of 1979, the year when his breakthrough roles in Tim and especially Mad Max were first shown to the public.
The rest of the cast was made up of the rather out-of-place imported American John Phillip Law, the Taiwanese-born veteran of the Hong Kong film industry Sylvia Chang, plus two stalwart character actors of the Australian Film Revival, Chris Haywood and John Waters.
Based on fact, Attack Force Z is a modestly-scaled film that concentrates on telling its story as efficiently as it can, and not browbeating the audience with its own self-importance.

A dated if reasonably watchable Aussie war film of the early 1980s, Attack Force Z tells the story of a small squad of WWII commandos sent to a Pacific island to rescue a Japanese defector.
Fresh from the success of Mad Max and Gallipoli, the Mel we see here is an emerging star, not yet in full stride, but with more than a hint of the charisma he was to polish in later years (and long before any hint of intense religiosity crept in).
Their mission is to reach the site of a downed plane, known to have crash-landed somewhere in the island's mountainous interior, and extract or eliminate any survivors.

 IGN: Rave Master: Special Attack Force Review
Because players have to deal with attacks on either side of them, the character moves have been reduced to double-tapping in a direction with a button press.
In this case, Rave Master's "hook" is a game mechanic that doesn't require players to simply KO their opponent after their life-force is spent, instead forcing players into a very "wrestling" like idea of a special move that can be pulled off at nearly any time during the battle.
Sure, I suppose this is the game's way of making it a little more fair to an opponent who's getting the crap knocked out of him, but when the player can't do anything but simply run around and wait for the invincibility effect to wear off, the game loses any novelty it might have had.
