[nilesfunnies] Fw: I Mel Gibson remade it:

If Mel Gibson were to remake "Dambusters":

- the bouncing bomb and other gadgets would have been developed in
America;
- the aircraft would be Flying Fortresses, not Lancasters;
- the pilots would all be Scots, led by 'Mel Gibson', a gallant American;
- the English would resist the idea of the mission until persuaded by the
US president, and would spend the rest of the movie attempting to sabotage
the plan through bureaucracy and incompetence;
- details of dam defences would have been discovered through use of the
decoded enigma machine, recently provided to the RAF by US intelligence;
- an English jew would be identified as a spy in the early part of the
movie, and summarily executed by the gallant American leader;
- said execution would take the form of a single pistol shot through the
centre of said spy's forehead;
- ... while spy is 'tail-end charlie' in an airborne Flying Fortress;
- ... and while gallant American leader is piloting another half a mile
away at 200mph;
- all six dams would be breached, the last by the gallant American leader
sacrificing himself and his entire crew and plane by diving straight
into the
dam;
- the gallant American leader would, naturally, survive by miraculously
being thrown clear just at the point of impact.

I could go on...
