I, too, like to look for tech flaws in movies. When my MOTAS and I went to
see 2001 a year or so ago, I mentioned the technical flaws[from my point of view
=hardware type] and halfway through the film I noticed that 3 rows on either
side of us were empty. That really happened.
Airport was on the TV last night[Wednesday, Oct 5] and I also happened to
notice that the radio was tuned to 170MHZ and the frequency given was 117.1MHZ.
I wonder how the Boeing&Concorde people felt about the way the Airport series
treated their planes? I thought it was pretty funny on the last Airport film
with the Concorde when the pilot rolled down his left-side[driver's? :-)] window
and threw the bomb out when they were supposed to going Mach 1+.
My MOTAS said that on "The Alamo", in one of the shoot-out scenes there was
a yellow school bus in the background. A friend of mine said that he had seen a
1960's-style water tower was in a Western that he saw.
Also, I have seen a lot of Westerns where the dirt road has tire tracks all
over it, jet trails in the sky, high-voltage power distribution towers, and
more.
No flames, please. Paranoidally yours,
