Good job by the technical staff . . .

It's hard to believe this movie was released one year after Star Wars - A New Hope was released. It uses the same blue screen background image compositing that Star Wars and the rest of the film industry used.

It's fun to see the two former MASH Unit commanders, from the TV show, in the same film. I like seeing Roddy McDowall in movies. I like him better when he is not an accomplice to the villein.

I'm glad the producers did not really trash a state-of-the-art helicopter during the film's production. Good job by the technical staff in making a very airworthy reliable bi-wing aircraft look like an old broken down crate that can only fly by alien magic.
