He was probably thrown off 'cause you had both the magnitude and the units
wrong. The correct title is "Five Million *Years* to Earth."

Please, make a note of it.

Maybe there were two different films?

At least they weren't Japanese monster movies, like "Samurai Night Fever".

Anyone who can produce an "air car" for a reasonable price (say the

with current technology...why hasn't someone done it ?

I daresay that anyone who could afford one of those could also afford
a real airplane and a real car, each which would outperform the
mechanical chimera, as well as the hanger space in which to park
on while using the other.


Or hay-ell, they could just buy a real car and a used Shorts Skyvan, and carry
the car with them....

But there's also "20 Million Miles to Earth" from 1957. Totally

You can look at the movie poster, but no touching.

That's the one! So, I was only 30 million miles off. But I looped, rolled
an. . . never mind.

Thanks, Mr. Riley.

Mr. Secretary, a follow up question if you please:

"Well boys, we got three engines out, we got more holes in us than a horse
trader's mule, radio's gone; and we're leakin' fuel; and if wese flyin' any
lower, why we'd need sleigh bells on this thing. . ."
