Featured review
This is trashy but watchable because of the "real" flying.
This is a trashy (I mean really embarrassingly bad) made-for-TV movie but if you enjoy "for real" helicopter stunt flying (there's no CGI used here),then you'll like this! I don't think they'd get away with this type of flying nowadays, even in Mexico!
Aircraft:- Hughes 500 (Model 369HS) , Aerospatiale Alouette IIs, Aerospatiale Gazelle, Bell Jetranger and two Stearman, one by the legendary Art Scoll.
Sadly three people died making this film when the Hughes Model 500 (369HS)flown by Hagman's character "Sam" crashed when the pilot collided with a cable on 17th April 1982. One was Glen Miller, the real owner of Sam's Hughes 500 (who played the truck driver Pocotello Pete), Diane Doherty, and the costumer Frank Novak.
