Though a big Eastwood fan, I have to take exception with the special effects of this movie. It was made five years after the original Star Wars, yet the flying sequences look like something out of the sixties. The aircraft move on planes and at angles that are just physically impossible. The cockpit instruments are a mixture of then present day, and even some very old technology. (The altimeter, which gets a lot of exposure before the glacier landing, is probably 1950's vintage. Additionally, the model of the Firefox is hardly believable as a futuristic fighter, even for the time. The story had potential, but I guess the budget was minimal.
