Movie Trivia

[Idlewild]

Modern Air:

Name the movie it's in, the airplane represented, the airport it's based at and the terminal it's parked in.

[Bellucciman]

You just watched Dog Day Afternoon too huh? I caught the end last night while switching channels.

Let's see, that was a Boeing 707 parked at JFK. Correct?

It was cool hearing those nice and loud take offs/landings in the final scene and seeing the old United and some L1011's in the background. They also showed a TWA 747-100 taxi down the runway.

At least the Mets finally won a freeken game!

[Idlewild]

You have the movie and the airport right.

[Bellucciman]

What was it? A DC8?

[PhilDernerJr]

Oh man, no kidding, I was going to watch that movie yesterday, but I slept all afternoon instead. lol. I haven't seen it since the late 80s.

[Tom_Turner]

Good Stuff.

Now, was it French Connection that had a long lingering image of a BOAC VC-10 taxiing up to the terminal at JFK?

Tom

[Idlewild]

It's a CV-880 parked in the GA section of JFK. It was right next to the old EA terminal, where you see all the L-1011's. I don't know whose 880 because I couldn't make out the reg.

[PhilDernerJr]

Fun post. Anyone else have a good aviation movie trivia question?

[Idlewild]

Two questions, each a two parter for one film for all of you Howard Beach (or wherever else) goombas out there.

Part one: In Goodfellas, the scene in which the first airport robbery takes place in 1961 (?) at Idlewild, what prominent four engined cargo plane do you see parked at the ramp, and who is it owned by (you know the titles)?

Part Deux: Which airline's ticket title is blacked out in the same film? Describe the scene as well.

[Matt Molnar]

Don't remember the details of part one, but I do remember a scene with footage of a 747 taking off when it was supposed to be 1961 while Henry was describing how much money they made robbing Idlewild Airport.

Part Deux = American, in the scene where Henry is getting ready to send Lois to Pittsburgh.

Ouch, tough ones! I know you do see a Swissair 747 landing, but I don't know the cargo plane on the ground!

[RDU-JFK]

I have one:
In the movie Delta Force, what was the name of the fictitious airline that was hijacked from Athens to Rome continuing to New York? What type of airliner was used in the film?

BONUS: While the film borrowed a lot of the storyline from the famous "Raid at Entebbe", a lot of the storyline was based on a US airliner hijacked and flown to Beirut. Name the airline, aircraft, and the reg. (FAA N#). HINT-The answer is somewhere in the photo database on a.net!

[Idlewild]

The answer to the first part of my question is an Air France Breguet 763. And yes you're correct in that someone ****ed up placing a 743 (or is it a 742) on final in 1961.

AA is correct as is the Lois scene.

The Delta Force is based on the TWA 722 hijacking of '85. I think they used a 707 and reversed the title a tad, some thing like World Trans or another. Maybe Trans Global???

[T-Bird76]

In the movie Airplane which LAX terminal was used to film the opening scenes including when a 747 crashed through the glass?

In the first Airport movie who did Joe Patroni work for?

In the movie the original Out of Towners movie what was the real airport George Kellerman and his wife left from?

In the movie National Lampoon's European Vacation what airline did the Griswold's take to Europe?

[T-Bird76]

The airline was ATW (American Travelways)

[hiss srq]

For the first one it is Airplane, for the second question I am taking a stab knowing you Tommy that the answer is TWA?


For the rest IDK.

[T-Bird76]

Zippy go read question one again......Airplane is not the answer. As for the second one, BINGO! TWA. Even though TWA was not the airline portrayed in the movie and no one ever said that Joe worked for TWA on the back of his jump suit was a big TWA Double Globe logo. This was rather cutting edge for the day since product placement in movies wasn't widely used at all.

[hiss srq]

The TWA terminal?

[Tom_Turner]

Joe Patroni worked for TWA - what else? :D

btw.. Tommy - do you like my avatar? :D

Awesome Tom! Yes Ryan you were right...however it really is known as T3. So any guesses on the others?

[RDU-JFK]

In the movie National Lampoon's European Vacation what airline did the Griswold's take to Europe?

Pan Am......"Panno Ammo?"

Clark: "I'll have a coke (?)".
Stewardess: "Would you like that in the can?"
Clark: "No, I'll have it here.

American Travel Ways flight 282 ;)

regi N778PA

What Airline Was Used in the Movie Executive Desicon? ( Sorry If I spelled it Wrong)

[Idlewild]

No new questions until originals are answered. Still, I'm going to say Ocean Airlines.

[Delta777LR]

Does anyone know most movies that invole Boeing 707s. Movies I know is
Airport, Trans Global Airlines

Airplane! Trans American

Skyjacker. Global Airways

Twilight Zone: The Movie. Global Airways 707.

Oceanic ;)

Twilight Zone: The Movie. Global Airways 707.

There is a movie that features the 707 and at one point the main character looks out the window while flying over LGA and refers to runway "44". Any guesses?

Catch me if you Can?

[PhilDernerJr]

I just watched Dog Day Afternoon, and am wondering more about the JFK part.

Where exactly did the hostage situation end at JFK, both in the movie and in real life (I assume they might not be the same place). Anyone know?

If you know, can you explain it compared to the current layout? I'm not super familiar with the old time airline's operations.

[Delta777LR]

The movie eneded after Al Pacino gets arrested at the apron as the hostages were released from the limo

[PhilDernerJr]

Yes, I'm trying to figure out where that happened exactly.

[Idlewild]

In the movie it ended in the General Aviation area of JFK near the current T-1 terminal (old Eastern). I believe the GA is still in the same place. I don't know where it ended in real, or if it was JFK.

[Smartass Flyboy]

Even though TWA was not the airline portrayed in the movie and no one ever said that Joe worked for TWA on the back of his jump suit was a big TWA Double Globe logo.

Sorry, gotcha here it is mentioned. After Mel's first visit to the stricken 707 he asks the maint chief, "...if I can con TWA into giving us Patroni would you mind...", and the reply is, "no, Joe can have all the tries he wants." and yes as several regulars here can attest I am a geek.

[Smartass Flyboy]

Catch Me If You Can. It is the scene near the end of the flight back from France after his arrest.

[Smartass Flyboy]

Joe Patroni worked for TWA - what else? :D



OK, boys and girls. Thinking caps on? Good, Patroni is based on a real live TWA mechanic. In fact Arthur Hailey had several interviews with this man when writing the book and he was invited to MSP to be anon set consultant during the shooting of the movie. Who is he?

[Tom_Turner]

In the ending of Coogan's Bluff, which airline, what kind of aircraft and which "terminal" does Clint Eastwood fly out of NYC?

I can't remember what was shown when he flew from out west to NYC, but there was a lot of footage of New York Airways Boeing Vertol and Clint arrived at the Pan Am Bldg rooftop.

"Coogan's Bluff" - the inspiration for the McCloud TV Series with Dennis Weaver, if I am correct.

Tommy should know this stuff.... :D

George Kennedy - And that is before my time!!!!!!

[Mellyrose]

Wow, this thread is totally scattered. I'm passing out Ritalin for anyone who wants.

[Delta777LR]

I was watching Passenger 57 last night. Does anyone know who that L-1011 belonged too. I couldnt notice the registration #. Im guessing it is an Ex Eastern or Delta.
