< 82 minutes of footage for 82 min release[edit]

Even on MST3K this movie seemed to slow down the fabric of space time, by using the same footage over and over for fights/action sequences (which if I recall is also pointed out by the crew) it gave the impression of being three hours long. I don't doubt the article's stated 82 minutes, but am wondering if it is known how many minutes of original footage were actually in the movie? (To rephrase, how long would the movie be if the repeated sequences were removed?) Anynobody 03:45, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Hitler Building[edit]

The article implies that the destruction of the infamous "Hitler building" is real-life WW2 stock footage. This trivia fact pops up on the IMDB, and is widely repeated on the internet; it is alluded to on this page at MST3KInfo, but in this case it seems nonsensical. The footage is clearly that of a miniature model building being blown up from inside, shot from two different camera angles. At the very least, it seems strange that news cameras in the midst of a real bombing raid would be trained on the building at the exact moment it is blown up. Can anyone, perhaps a Japanese reader, shed any light on this? Why does the film have a "Hitler building", and what do the Japanese characters above it say? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:51, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, on that MST3KInfo page, Kevin Murphy seems to be saying that the MST3K crew cut all of the real-life bombing footage out. There's a posting on IMDB that claims that the Hitler Building scene, and other destruction scenes were taken from an earlier movie that had stopped production called the "The Final War". 75.82.129.74 (talk) 03:37, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Japanese characters above the building seem to read "Social Democratic Party of Japan." - 60.45.69.59 (talk) 04:42, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, was thinking of a different building. The signs on the Hitler building all say "わが闘争" (Waga Tousou - My Struggles, My War et al.). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.243.236.132 (talk) 14:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - so it's probably the Japanese translation of Mein Kampf. If only there was a real Japanese person on Wikipedia - he might be able to shed some light on this. A shufty on Google suggests that The Final War hasn't been released on a home video format, but was released the cinemas (e.g. this google book search). And it was dead serious. Here's a little article in Life Magazine about the building of a miniature Golden Gate bridge for the film. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:05, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
