Airboss (1997)
terrible
I had the good fortune of seeing this movie, and I use that term loosely, on German television so I was most likely spared a great deal of terrible dialogue. The other review was correct about consistency, the stock footage switch back and forth between F/A-18 and F-14 footage. A Navy Captain was wearing the wrong size rank insignia. Most of the squadron patches aviators are wearing are U.S. Air Force patches. When an plane is launching off a bow catapult, they depict the pilot saluting a fellow aviator, not the "shooter," and then they depict the throttle being thrown to full as the aircraft is being released from the launch gear. In reality Hornets are on autopilot and pilots hold their hands up to show they aren't mucking things up. This is in many respects a low budget attempt at "Behind Enemy Lines," but that itself was a terrible movie. NEVER, NEVER expend money to watch this film!!! Even if you have the chance to watch it on broadcast or cable television, a drinking game must be involved, that is the only condition under which this movie may seem to be remotely appealing.
