Black Hawk Down question

[mangle]

You recall when the second chopper crashes. The pilot breaks his leg inside the chopper and then two delta squad soliders come to cover.
The soldiers then get killed but the pilot is taken a prisoner. What happens to him in the end? I don't see it!

[Yoshimitsui]

He dies doesn't he?

[Neil]

At the end of the movie it whos you them little bits of text explaining some parts, one of the last ones if not the last one to come up says that he was released about 13 days after they captured him

[mangle]

Ah thats cool.
And no he didn't die, the other two snipers died. One was shot, the other hit in the face and basically mauled.

I love it when that bloke gets half his body blown away and his still alive :P

I just find it interesting that he is still alive and kicking

[mangle]

Well, not kicking haha.

[Stevehere]

hahaha lol waving his arms about in agony then

Yeah, it's a real good show of how war is tbh. I know war isn't all like that but it just shows how fast you can be taken.

Yea it's an awesome movie, one of my favourites, probably the best war movie out, though I've yet to see Jarhead xD

[Stephen!]

Jarhead was ok.. but not the best. More of a comedy.

[Coldplay]

Black Hawk Down was better than Jarhead.

[PaintYourTarget]

Jarhead explored the other extreme of War - the intense boredom of sitting around camp waiting for things to kick off, but it not actually happening. I like both films, I've actually got Black Hawk Down on now.

I always thought that Orlando Bloom's character Blackburn died when he fell from the Chopper, but he survived apparently. It's shocking that this was real.
