Trivia: ICE STATION ZEBRA

by dragon53 » Wed Dec 15, 2021 3:39 pm

TRIVIA---in the hit movie ICE STATION ZEBRA (Rock Hudson, Patrick McGoohan), Russian MiG-21 jet fighters fly toward the crew of the submarine USS Tigerfish as they search for a missing satellite film canister. The first shots of the MiG-21s used models, and the second shots of the MiG-21s used film footage of real F-4 Phantoms. Ironically, In 1968 when ICE STATION ZEBRA was released, North Vietnamese MiG-21s were in engaged in deadly dogfights with US F-4 Phantoms during the Vietnam War.
