Technical point.
Previous movies featuring Tiger tanks (Kelly’s Heroes, Saving Private Ryan) actually used T-34s converted to look like Tigers. The conversions were pretty good but, in addition to the boxing in necessary to make the bow glacis plate and turret look like a Tiger, an easy observed telling point is the location of the track drive sprocket. In the Tiger, the drive sprocket is forward of the road wheels as shown in this video feature about the “Fury” Tiger:
The T-34 Tiger 1 conversions still have a T-34 drive train which places the idler wheel in the front and the drive sprocket in the rear as shown here (Kelly’s Heroes):

and here (Saving Private Ryan):

Also notice, based on the humans in the pictures, how significantly smaller a T-34-based Tiger conversion in size is when compared to the real Tiger:

This is hardly surprising since the T-34 was a small medium class tank while the 88mm Tiger was, at the time, the first tank in the heavy class of tanks developed during WWII. (Soon matched by the Soviet 122mm-armed IS series tanks.)
Today, of course, there are no medium and heavy class tanks, just main battle tanks, all very fast, weighing in at between 45 and 70 tons, and all armed with 115 to 125mm main guns.
I’ve stood next to a Tiger and a King Tiger. Unbelievably huge machines.
You forgot the best Tiger Tank movie of all....The Battle of The Bulge (1965). :)
