Flying High....Hmmmmm

[tuppaware]

"...what do you make of this???"


I actually think Top Secret is a much better movie (amazing how many people have never heard of it!) but Flying High is certainly up there...

..and I now have to admit that - as the thread starter.... I nodded off on the couch while reading and forgot to set up the recording!!!

Top secret is only good to see a young Val Kilmer

This quote from from the sequel actually:

Simon: Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet your captain, Captain Oveur.
Clarence Oveur: Gentlemen, welcome aboard.
Simon: Captain, your navigator, Mr. Unger, and your first officer, Mr. Dunn.
Clarence Oveur: Unger.
Unger: Oveur.
Dunn: Oveur.
Clarence Oveur: Dunn. Gentlemen, let's get to work.
Simon: Unger, didn't you serve under Oveur in the Air Force?
Unger: Not directly. Technically, Dunn was under Oveur and I was under Dunn.
Dunn: Yep.
Simon: So, Dunn, you were under Oveur and over Unger.
Unger: Yep.
Clarence Oveur: That's right. Dunn was over Unger and I was over Dunn.
Unger: So, you see, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn.
Clarence Oveur: Dunn was over Unger, and I was over Dunn.

You have clearance, Clarence.
Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?

I highly recommend the Alan Parsons album, On Air. It's a concept album entirely about flight, and musically it's really good - soft progressive rock (except for one techno track). See the track list here:

Welcome to AFF!

It’s a good job I have 16 of his albums, hadn’t realised it was about flight, been a while since I listened to any of it.

An AP tragic!. Had no idea he had released so many albums. I used to have a copy of I Robot somewhere...haven't seen it in years...good album.

Number two just didn't have the same comic quality as the first one.

Like many sequels it lacked humour.

Some film makers should give up after the first one.

I did read the synopsis and had to laugh at it’s absurdity. The Graham Norton Show and Later with Jools Holland is also on tonight, so may watch them instead

Well I watched it and still had a laugh.Limited choice here in Northern Tassie with an old non digital set.

Did anyone notice that Peter Graves (Captain Oveur) died last week?
The radio mentioned his fame as a result of Mission Impossible but also playing "Captain Ovyeeur" in the movie 'Airplane' released here as Flying High. That was the newsreader's pronunciation.
Vale!

I still laughed a lot at FH2 back when I saw it, although of course it wasn't as good as the original. I bet I'm the first person to use those words.

I remember watching FH2 as a kid and seeing at the end of the movie how they were planning a release of FH3 ... I was sooo excited. I must of been easily pleased as a kid.

I ended up watching the start and found it not dissimilar to the other one.

I saw that too, it was nice timing by TEN to have both movies on, though the first was before he died. I found it kind off odd when I saw the report of his death on the news that the scene they played was where he asks the kid if he’d even seen a grown man naked. I’m sure someone will tell me what hidden meaning that has in relation to his career?

Hi all,

I ended up watching it while packing for my trip last night and must admit, although I rubbished it earlier, it still made me chuckle in a few parts.
