seriously, what the hell was that guy thinking? and the noise he makes as he charges? that cracked me up. how come every hostage movie set on a plane has to have some dumb*ss yell like "lets get him!" and attack? i could name about 4 times that's happened. and think i'll take this opportunity to list what i think are the top 5 airplane hostage/hijacking movie ever. feel free to add to it.

1. Executive Decision
2. Air Force One
3. Passenger 57
4. The Terrorist (really just because of Connery)
5. SWAT (training scene)

He almost pulled off a Zidane head-butt, but being an old dude in a tweed suit he wasn't cool enough to follow through. Also, those terrorists were the least intimidating villians I have ever seen in a movie. I've played the 747 mission of Rogue Spear, Perfect Sword, enough times to know that a swat team, even a 1975 scandanavian swat team, could take down four non-threatening terrorists armed with six shooters.

That's because we find out they aren't actually terrorists, so to speak, but still hijacked a plane, which makes the whole thing just laughable. Little wonder that this is a relatively unknown Sean Connery film. It's a real oddity. 🐭
