[CFIIIMEIATP737]

When a World War II era bomber drops bombs, the crew can hear them whistling as they drop, even over the sound of the engines and flying away from the drop zone at 200 m.p.h.

When a WWII figher plane is on the tale of another aircraft and fires machine guns, the bullet holes appear along the side of the front aircraft's fuselage.

Good guys can knock out bad guys with one punch. The reciprocal is not necessarily true.

Some more WWII movie cliches:
When the Japanese major is interrogating the hero (usually James Cagney) he will be holding a shiny knife in his hand that relects light into the good guy's eyes. He will smile a lot showing buck teeth.

When asked how come he speaks such good English, the interrogator will almost always reply "Stanford University, 1938."

Japanese soldiers always run directly towards American machine guns.
