Page 1 of how come

how come there are no missiles with cameras on them this gulf war, seriously for a sequal it is lacking one of the biggest showed parts of the last one. this time we are stuck with night vision pictures that are difficult to make out(most of the time). With the amount of money that is being spent one would think the news could get some hollywood type special effects.

..perhaps they`re saving the money up for the final part of the trilogy? Mind you....not sure there`ll be much of an audience.

"Mind you....not sure there`ll be much of an audience."

Nah, just Saddam and family.

but they all look the same, even the girls

They`ve used too many of the annoying elements from the first part (like the slapstick "Oops, it was only friendly fire!" pilots) and they still haven`t introduced a heroic central protagonist to match Stormin` Norman`s performance. It was also a bit lazy to re-use the same tired old villain. This Saddam guy has clearly put on a bit of weight and just doesn`t seem as threatening as he was last time. (I hear that he`s been using a body double for a lot of his scenes.) We really need him to look furious and come up with something as menacing as his "Mother of All Battles" threat.

The composition of the `Bombing of Baghdad` sequences does look rather splendid on a 16:9 television, though. I`m so glad that they hurried up and gave us our first proper widescreen war. I`m looking forward to hearing the finale in 5.1 surround sound. Real screams on my rear channels - Double Lush!

I`m waiting for the 500 disc morbid b*stard collector`s boxset with the deleted scenes, out-takes and 2 alternate endings!
And of course the hysterical audio commentary from George Bush & Tony Blair!

sounds good... but there`s bound to be a SE coming out a few months down the line, so I`d watch your spending at the moment. The next one will be much more expensive, but well worth it all the same. Rumour has it James Cameron is directing, but as that`s only complete speculation it should be big news for the next few days until it gets quietly brushed under the nearest sand dune.

..and according to Channel 4 News (so it must be true).....we even have trained dolphins to go mineseeking! I suppose that means if you see them swimming frantically in one direction, there`s a mine close behind them. This must be the Australian Special Forces that have entered the fray....Flipper Battalion.

I heard the third one is gonna be set in North Korea.......
