In the beginning of the movie Faceoff, they are on buisness jet with aft mounted engines, only there are two engines on each side, next to each other. Anyone know what this aircraft is?
 
Can't remember the aircraft in the movie but what you're describing sounds like a Jetstar.

Was it like this?

Yep, thats definitely it, with the pod like things under the wings. Thanks man.
 
Yup, the Jetstar....I love in the movies, and can't believe Travolta puts up with the fact that these aircraft for some reason in the movies only require 1 pilot. That crappy movie "Look who's talking 2" he's flying a falcon20 which for some reason he must have some waiver to fly it single pilot. At least when he pulls up in his Lear it has two crew. As for part 3. Flying a Falcon900 all over the place single pilot....hahahaha, is there no realism....well, look at the movie.

The jetstar is in Goldfinger too...**CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** Galore must have the same single pilot waiver......That stuff drives me crazy.
 
You know what drives me crazy in the stupid movies. When it shows them boarding a Lear 25. but then the interior shots are in a freaking 747 or something, and then they show a Gulfstream landing. This is a pet peeve of mine so I pay close attention, something I have noticed is that the majority of exterior inflight shots are Gulfstreams. Must be the prestige thing. One of the worst examples I ever saw, and no, i cant remember the movie, they got into a 172 which somehow had a citation interior, very impressive I must say!

I'm with you on the "Look Who's Talking" thing, but Ms. Galore works for a Bond super-villain. She's watchin' her back for MI-6, I don't think she's too worried about FAA violations!

I like when they show a 727 taking off, a 747 in cruise, and a DC-10 landing. I can't remember what I saw that one on, but I laughed. What's even funnier is that we care. Oh well.

True......so very true

Yep...I know it shouldn't..but it drove me nuts in that DeCrapio movie Catch me if You Can...when he's lookin out the window and tells Tom Hanks "Look, we're over LaGuardia's runway 44"

Or the West Wing episode when Air Force One's pilot comes over the PA and says "We've been vectored around for an approach to runway 39".

Arrrrrrgghhhhh!!

That's Hollywood for ya. I love movies where someone pulls out an Uzi, and the audio sounds like someone's racking the slide on a Remington 870.
 
I saw a movie once that showed a jet, but with prop sound effects. I think it was called aircraft or airplane or something.

Worst aviation movie ever.


Who am I kidding, I love airplane!

First Jive Dude: **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** man, that honky mus' be messin' my old lady... got to be runnin' cold upside down his head. You know?

First Jive Dude, Second Jive Dude: Leg 'er down 'n smack 'em yak 'em
First Jive Dude: Cold got to be. You know? Shiiiiit.
 
The Jetstar in Faceoff now belongs to Alan Jackson. It has a different paint job and a different tail number now.

On "I Want to be a Hilton" the other night (not that I watch that show) they showed an exterior shot of a Citation (if I remember correctly) and then a shot from the inside looking out over the port wing....... with a prop clearly visible, probably a King Air. I got mad and yelled at the TV and my sister looked at me funny.....
 
Airplane !!

Worse movie you ever saw? AIRPLANE was a P-A-R-O-D-Y of aviation disaster movie genre of the time. No, this is ony of the funiest movies of all time. Even today I can watch it and find something new going on in the background thatcracks me up.

Son, your mommas legs have more time in the air than you do.

HA HA HA...
You did read all of his post, right?
 
With regards to Ms. Galore and the Jetstar,

you will notice that Mai Ling is in the right seat, reading a magazine when Bond goes back to the (most ridiculously plush) lav. By virtue of keeping the seat warm, reading, and going in the back on an errand at the captain's whim, she meets the standard corporate FO criteria.

Finally, this board is discussing the important matters!
