    Just watched harms way again, the scene where Tories ship gets hit I had to LoL the whole super structure and most of the forward deck all the way to A turret lifted up. The scene where there supposed to be on some small pacific island China Hat a very iconic tourist sight on Oahu Hawaii is in the back ground. As funny as watching independence day and their supposed to be at El Toro air station and it looked like 29 palms or china lake nothing like El Toro CA.

    I went by El Toro at least twice a week for three years. I groaned when I saw the airstrip in the movie. Looked like a National Guard strip.

    Certainly looked desolate enough.
