Hello, I couldnt help but notice that it looked just like the crash that was used in Air America.
I do not have Air America on hand right now, But it looks too familiar.

You are absolutely correct! I was watching Air America just yesterday, and afterwards Project Viper was on and the plane crash is the same except for the pilots of the C-133!!! They left a bit of the action out in Project Viper, but, it IS the very same crash! I thought I was the only one to notice this???

It is the crash from Air America. And the is NOT a C-133 but a C-123.

I just saw that10 min ago it is the same It's the first time I've ever seen that done I wonder how much more of that goes on?????????

The car chase scene in the beginning of the film is patched in from the car chase scene used in "Species". It is the exact same sequence, right down to kicking the door out, running into a powerbox and helicopters shooting the car with rockets.
I havn't finished watching this movie yet, but I'm sure that there's plenty more scenes to come that will have been plagiarised from other films. What a disgrace.

The plane IS a C-123 Provider, but the movie calls it a C-133 (which makes the movie even worse).

I saw the plane crash scene last night and thought "how could such a low budget movie create such a great crash scene" - then I read the posts above and it all made sense.

All the Fred Olen Ray and Jim Wynorski movies (and hundreds from other directors) feature scenes from big budget movies recycled.

This is not plagiarism.

The Production companies of the original sell these scenes as filler for B-movies for good money....

In fact, those two movies are mentioned in the credits of this rubbish.
