YMMV / Memphis Belle

• Retroactive Recognition: Tate Donovan, Billy Zane, Sean Astin, Reed Diamond, Jane Horrocks, Mac McDonald, Ben Browder...
• So Okay, It's Average: One of the primary complaints about the film is that while it's competently made, it doesn't really hit any notable dramatic heights, and could have easily been mistaken for a typical drama filmed during the actual war, nearly to the point of being a Cliché Storm.
• Special Effects Failure:
  • In some scenes, especially the takeoff sequence, two different sets of nose art on several planes are visible on camera at the same time.
  • When Mother and Country is hit by a Me-109, it's clearly a model. It also wouldn't be cleanly bisected like it was cut with a knife.
• The Woobie: Stan and the rest of the rookie crew of Mother and Country have a very affecting First Day from Hell.
