We all have seen the iron sky youtoobs, and now we know it was funded through Warner Bro's :o
QuoteIN A freakish coincidence, Australia has just given birth to two sci-fi comedy movies featuring Nazis, both of which are due for local release later this year.
The German-Finnish-Australian film Iron Sky is a €7.5 million ($9.1 million) production set in 2018 and featuring an invasion of Earth by UFOs bearing Nazis from the dark side of the moon, where they've been hiding out since the end of the war.
Biggles you will find this one funny :D
QuoteThe 25th Reich is a $1.2 million tale about five US soldiers based in Bacchus Marsh who stumble across Nazi robots in the outback in 1943.
QuoteAbout half of Iron Sky was shot in Australia, at Warner Bros studios on the Gold Coast over four weeks in early 2011.

I will be extremely surprised if you don't see the same old collection of Silverman's and Goldstein's (etc) in the credits though. Nuff said!
IRM ;)

Hey, Somamech, and good post!
I have seen that Iron Sky clip a million times, and have oft wondered, WTF? Now I know.
If youve ever been to Australia, you'll see that the people there have an insatiable appetite for the esoteric.
When there two years ago, we got our room in the Hyatt at Melbourne, and I sat down , turned on the TV and boom: Ancient Aliens marathon!
LOL!
I made it a point that year to listen intently to the folks there, and learned quite a bit, too.
There are so many crazy things in and around Australia, that the place is perfect for anything that needs to look like it's on the Moon, or Mars.
Anyhow, Somamech, I am writing a book soon, and the Aussies gave me some pretty cool ideas for the plot.
Cheers!
