Hell's Angels is so unique you'll enjoy every minute. The acting is old fashioned and there's no mistaking who the bad guys are. Aerial footage is like nothing you've ever seen before. World War 1 pilots from both sides smirking, screaming, falling out of their planes to their death, getting shot while dog fighting and the cameras are just a few feet from their faces. You'll never forget this one.

If you have seen "The Aviator" about Howard Hughes, and you enjoyed it, then see this movie. It helps you understand Howard Hughes' passion for Hell's Angels demonstrated in "The Aviator". Keeping in perspective that the movie was made in the 1920's and 1930's, it is an excellent film.

"Aviator" shows Hughes obsession with "Hells Angels". Watch this and you'll see why. WW1 details, human desperation, confronting death, war time engineering, live explosives, Innovative aerial camera work, aerial choreography, . Hughes is a Spielberg\Lucas of his time.

I got this one after watching "The Aviator" It had a slow start but had lots of great aerial sequences. My only complaint was that when they spoke German, it was not translated to english.

This is an excellent film produced by Howard Hughes. This is very close in plot to Howard Hawks' movie Dawn Patrol; which is a film WWI aviation action/adventure film. Early in production in 1929, Hell's Angels, was being made as a silent film but later in production it converted to sound. This is one of the few movies that is over 75 years old that has transferred well to the DVD technology. A must see.

Great story line and great flight scenes. It's amazing that the flying was all real.
