Ah, yes. B-25J, methinks. If it's got the full gun package, it's a killer.

That's the one.  I couldn't tell you if it's a J version of the B-25 or not though.  I seem to remember there was a version that had extra guns fixed just forward of the wing root, on the sides of the fuselage, which this one doesn't have. 

Come to think of it, there was also Reign of Fire, that had a dragon chasing a helicopter and eating skydivers.

I like this subgenre of film, but realistically they need to go back to WWI planes for the dragons to have a chance, or give the dragons magic powers.  If the dragons are only animals the P-51s will make mince meat out of them.  Natural dragons probably wouldn't be able to hit 200 in a dive, and the orange flame doesn't look hot enough to effect a metal plane unless the flame can be held on it for a couple minutes. 

Of course dragons vs planes is stupid fun and I'm being an arse.

I wonder if any real B-25's had both the nose guns and the glass nose, like in Sucker Punch.  Wouldn't it be one or the other?

Say no more. The one they used for level bombing. The gun nose was for strafing.

It looks like a different gun package than the bat-nose plane and the SuckerPunch plane.  Those have four or more 50 cal (?) and Martha Jean has one in the center and something else which may not be a gun.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
