GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
GUENOT PHILIPPE Of course this is maybe the one hundred and first AIRPORT rip off, in the line of the disaster movies fashion which proliferated in the seventies. And Dave Lowell Rich was a specialist for this kind of topic. Of course, you find here so many clichés already seen dozens of times before...of course nothing new, but that remains rather pleasant to watch, and I have seen far far worse in that disaster movies field.
Eric Stevenson I am surprised that the score is so low. Okay, I admit the movie is technically bad but at least we got to see a lot of familiar faces here. You rarely see that in a TV movie. This is the only time I've seen Regis Philban in a movie of any kind. It was hard to recognize Billy Crystal. Probably the coolest part of this movie was when it showed that explosion. A pity it was just that one scene. I know that this movie is really clichéd. It probably helps that "Airplane!" is my favorite comedy too. They mocked stuff like this perfectly.The version I saw was 92 minutes (on "Mystery Science Theater 3000"). This says it's only 89 minutes. Wow, that is the first time I have ever heard of a movie having a longer version being shown like that. It was certainly an interesting episode as it was their longest ever. Yeah, it's not worth watching on its own, but I think there have been many worse disaster films. I guess it probably did go on too long and there's still nothing unique about it. **
stargazer24 Being a fan of the boys of Route 66, I just had to see this movie. However, I was very disappointed that they never even bothered to give Marty and George one scene together. Nevertheless, I kept watching and laughed all the way through. Of course, I was watching the MST3K version and I would suggest all do the same if you can find it. I mean, George Maharis is mad at Burgess Meredith (who built the plane), so he puts detergent in the hydraulic system, hoping that when things get bad, Robert Reed will turn the plane around. Bobby doesn't listen to him, and well, you can figure out the rest. That, along with a bunch of other ridiculously funny happenings, including nice-guy Bert Convy dating a bimbo (Miss SST!), make this a MUST SEE for fans of all that was bad 70's TV.
rjs_bird I am a fan of Bert Convy. Unfortunately, though, I have to say this, BUT, this film was a complete failure as were some of Bert's other films (BUT SOME WERE VERY GOOD). It was basically a good actor in Bert Convy, who, tragically didn't get some good parts. He plays a guy talking about his bimbo-girlfriend which didn't make sense. Many other well-known people are in this too including Regis Philbin, who plays an ANNOYING television reporter, Billy Crystal as a FEY STEWARD.., Peter Graves, and Lorne Greene. This was like a "rip-off" version of the later-to-become "AIRPLANE" in 1980 which was a success then. Some things in this movie really didn't make sense. Some good actors just didn't get a good movie.
