F-14 vs Zero

Ever see that movie The Final Countdown (1980), seriously its got to be one of the worst plots ever made but its still quite a good movie, it watched it because I was interested in seeing the shots of the USS Nimitz. The movie is typical eighties with the music basically turned up above any in movie audio, its about the carrier being time warped back to 6/12/41 near Hawaii and actually shows a bit with two Navy F-14 Tomcats versing two Mitsubishi A6M Zeroes, think about that for a minute.

How it was actually done was quite interesting since the Zeroes really were converted AT-6 Texans but close enough in design and speed, note that for most of the fight in the movie the F-14's were going at stall speed which is visible the way the wings are out until near the end.

About three minutes of playing with the Zeroes and the F-14's preforming maneuvers like diving toward the water and pulling up at the last second, feats impossible for World War II-era planes. When they are given the order to fire the F-14's kick ass bringing down both Zeroes in less than a minute.

Pretty cool stuff but I wonder if this really did happen what it would be like, obviously the F-14 would never slow itself down to fight with a prop plane, even an F-14 that wasn't armed would probably be able to go to full speed, nearly Mach 2 and fly near the Zeroes would rip the weak plane apart without even a shot being fired.
