Nope, I believe I saw the biggest gaffe recently in a stinkeroo about
terrorists taking over a 747 in flight.



How about the movie where Ahnold kills his seatmate just before the
plane takes off, then manages to sneak down to the landing gear by
cutting through a flimsy plastic cover....he never seems to pass
through a pressure bulkhead.


Can't beat the "6 Million Dollar Man" series for really low budget
effects. Ever notice no matter what aircraft he was flying they would
always show B-52 gear retracting.

Come to think of it, some of the 50s giant ant movies were really bad. I
saw one where the aircraft changed from a T-33 to an F-84 inflight and
the narrator explained the changed by saying they dropped tanks. The
never did explain how they turned 2 wing root intakes into one nose intake.
