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. I must say I was disappointed by the flying scenes in "The Aviator" -- not enough of them, and the XF-11 and Spruce Goose never looked like anything other than Photoshop-generated images :-( And what about the scene where Howard and someone are walking off, trying to think what kind of wood to build it out of... I mean, it's not like spruce hadn't been a standard aircraft construction material for almost 40 years at that point. Sheesh, in a movie about an aviation legend, they could at least make an effort to get the aviation facts straight. Frank (and wasn't that 737 I saw landing in 1963 in "Ray"?) |
