  • Twin towers at 0:33 miss you!!!!

  • One of my fave films

  • You can see the twin towers on 0.33 !

  • liotta must have been strapped for cash or not have read the script cuz goddamn this was bad

  • Is it 747-300?

  • @luna8181 NÓ, IT'S A 747-200

  • haha its impossible to change autopilot switch!!

  • sure looks like a touched up japan airlines jet.

  • @neweast1 That's what I thought, too, but apparently, this airplane (N614FF) was ex-Qantas and never flew with Japan Air Lines. I guess someone from the movie just liked their color scheme.

  • @carlosperea92 no matter whos plaqne it was themovie still stinks.

  • I LIKE TO FLY THE CLASSIC 747 WITH GLASS COCKPIT TECHNOLOGY, IT LOOKS BETTER

  • the most amusing part of this movie and the most funny is when stubs and the agents board the airplane and gain access to it on a electric luggage platform lift from the ground. its amusing to see how a dangerous criminal is given a state of the art method of boarding the airplane which is quick and efficient which lift them upto to the door imediately and the passengers have to use primitive slow methods waiting in line. just imagine boarding an airplane in real life via a luggage lift

  • this is a really high tech B747.... for being a 200 or 300

  • Boeing 747-200's don't have glass cockpits. Only the 400 series did!

  • Ray Liotta?? Ohh gee its the Goodfellas guy :) whos gonna hijack a plane for whatever idiotic reasons :)

  • This movie did'nt have a lot of technical direction. Toward the end, the FBI scrambles a Navy F-14 instead of realistically using Air National Guard F-16s to shoot Transcon 47 down. For such a star-studded cast, accuracy was obviously at the bottom of the list!!!

  • oh cmon u guys! this is an old movie.. of course its pretty fake.

  • They actually used a Tower Air 747 to film this. An intresting note some may have noticed is that on departure from 31L at JFK in the departure clip they made a right turn out which is non stadard. My uncle was a CA with Tower Air when this was made. They used a fake 744 cockpit for the flight deck scenes.

  • Painful movie to sit through. It made me want to see Airport 1977 again, or maybe watch(again) Airplane: the movie. Anyone familiar with basics of the 747 will find the technical errors maddening. The worst thing that can ever happen to me in this life would be to have to sit through this lame a.s.s. film as an in-flight movie...ouch!

  • Love the takeoff scene. She sure is a pretty jet.

  • anyone else notice at 2:21 when the plane goes UP the pilot falls back towards the controls, doesnt make sense lol

  • I love Lauren Holly's coarse, sandy voice. I like her short, sassy hair. I love her pretty face. I jerked off watching this movie 13 years ago. Thank you Lauren, thank you so much !

  • hahahahaha old JAL plane

  • This is gonna make me sound like a total dumbass, but--

    Can a commercial airliner really turn 360 degrees like that? I mean without crashing or something?

  • that tail of the tca 747 look familior. matter of fact, that whole paint job look fimilor

  • is TCA a real airline ????

  • No. In films they are not supposed to use names of any real airlines. If a movie uses it, the real airlines' reputation might be destroyed.

  • And they can get tons of money from studios as copyright infringement.

  • @robert0joe There are exceptions, though. In "Cast Away", it's a FedEx aircraft that crashes, and in this movie, the pilot that talks Teri down is mentioned as being a Tower Air flight instructor (no coincidence that Tower Air owned the aircraft used for filming).

  • I though that too, looks like a JAL livery.

    I built my own 747 simulator

  • Almost everything about Boeing 747 are fake. First, how a classic version of Boeing 747 has Glass Cockpit.

  • In the Movies:- Air Force One and Executive Decision, the -200 series also has a similar/ identical glass cockpit!

  • Movies are fakes. Air Force One still using standard gauges as you can seen at Discovery channel where they take the camera inside Air Force One. Of Course, airliners won't spent unnecessary budget for upgrading the classics cockpits.

  • @Lew747 but I think that the reall air force one has glass cockpit:) but i´m not sure!

  • @nickazima08 Check out "On Board Air Force One" on Youtube (If it's still around) It shows you inside the cockpit of AFO and it still has the same analogue gauges and switches of the classic -200 series

  • @Lew747 almost every airplane movie in the 80s/90s was recorded in the same mockup. It was drowned in 2000 when 'Cast Away' was recorded. Someone has to build a new one - but airplane movies have fallen out of fashion since nine-eleven.

  • ya, wtf!

  • No way a pilot would leave the cockpit

  • Why didn't Terri use the crash axe in the cockpit? I always wondered that.

  • Wow, this is worse than "The Concorde... Airport '79". I didn't think that was possible.

  • Law Enforcement wouldn't put psychopathic killers on airliners either.

  • Yeah. And I'm pretty sure the flight would be canceled if there were only 5 people who bought tickets.

  • In a 747 in which is mainly for international flights.

  • Correct, but that's Hollywood for you.

  • Not really. If it's a commuter airline it would happen. Money is the name of the game.

  • An airline would lose money by letting a 747 with 5 people on board make the trip.

  • I agree with a B-747, but not commuter airlines.

  • If I knew how to Upload movies on YouTube I would for those who would like to see them. I have all three Turbulence movies. Have a safe and happy July 4th 2009 to those who celebrate it.

  • There's a saying in the industry, "Once you've been a flight attendant it's in your blood." I miss it. Everyday is a new day/flight, It's not for everyone. You either love it or hate it. I loved it.

  • As a former F/A, I was very pleased to see that Hollywood didn't make he F/A's look like sluts or stupid in this film, i.e., coffee, tea or me. Lauren Holly who plays F/A Terri Halloran did a great job. FBI Agent Frank Sinclair says, "How can she turn it around she's only a Stewardess?" Rachel Taper responds sharply back at him, "She's a Flight Attendant." It's just a fun movie to watch. I enjoy just about any movie that has to do with F/A's and planes.

  • FYI, this movie will air on CINEMAX channels, i.e., ACTNMAX on these days: Monday at 10:30 a.m. -12:15 p.m., PDT, Tuesday at 5:00 a.m. -6:45 a.m., PDT,, and, Thursday at 2:45 p.m. - 4:30 p.m., PDT. Check your listings. It beats renting it through Netflix which both DVDs were scratched. I've been wondering why this movie hasn't aired since Turbulence 2 and 3 are airing and have aired. I agree Ray Liotta should have one an Oscar for this role.

  • Man, Ray Liotta should have jumped out of the plane and picked up his Oscar!

  • 4:25 hahahaha Liotta is the best..!!! I love this movie..!!

  • Shithouse movie, Ray Liotta just brely carried the film off his own weight

  • I remember watching this the night before I was flying down to Barbados via Dallas and Miami.

    I was literally laughing my ass off at some of the faults, but then I remembered that it's just a movie. I mean, if everything in a movie was realistic, then hell, it'd be boring.

    Plus, about 90% of the traveling public have no idea of the SOPs during a flight, so in reality, the minority 10% can pick out the faults easily. Movies are meant to entertain, not be factual.

  • Interesting...where were you coming from? I live in Barbados.

    One thing about this movie (which I find pretty sad) is that it's probably one of the most accurate movies of its type LOL)

    ahh well...goes to show what Hollywood does to aviation.

  • well definitely excluding the roll sequence

  • Came from Calgary, AB.

  • if i was on that plane i would jump out .

  • I love this movie!!! I watched it two weeks ago on TV.

    I'd like to watch it again, but I don't know how :(

  • lol i watched it last night on foxtel

  • Does anyone know how i can watch this movie..tried to buy it, but no luck and youtube seems to be the same?

  • you can buy it on hmv's website

  • Well whoever said, this film was F.A.A. approved, didn't.......... its a flagrant attempt at action adventure, a farce to be sure and definitely not approved by the traveling public. Let us not over pick the faults bevause the damn thing has already been released in home video format and is off theaters every where.

    It's that simple!

  • That is the old JAL livery.

  • Its a repaint based on the old JAL livery, but its not the old JAL livery.

  • You gotta face facts, most standard aircraft piloting proceedures have been violated here, but its more a focus on a single woman saving the plane,like Karen Black in Airport 1975. Lauren Holly was a mess by the end, probably hoarse and definately in need of some breast enhancements, at least, if your gonna dress her in a slip, during the majority of the film.

  • at 4:49 of this video, you can see Lauren Holly's white panties..sexy upskirt.

  • Mary Swanson!

  • This movie is so bad... I wish some of the more excessive antics of Ray Liotta were seen here lol...

  • Another thing, why did the co-pilot leave his seat? He was supposed to control the aircraft, not look what's going on in the back. Especaially if he's the only one in the cockpit.

  • He set the autopilot so he could go see what was going on.

  • Yes, that's true. But he still shouldn't have gotten off his seat until he's gotten the aircraft under complete control.

  • He probably didn't know know it was gonna sky rocket, lol.

  • Yeah, that's right! That's why it's important to remain seated in an emergency situatuion!

  • This movie was one of my faviorites! And this is when I was introduce to the Autoland system.

  • the aircraft is a old 747-200 from JAL (Japan Air Lines). They have only painted the "JAL" over hahahah ;)

  • Actually the reg is N614FF and the credits mention that the plane belonged to Tower Air.

  • Pretty much, yeah! It looks like it came from JAL. Even the crane logo looks the same like JAL's. Except with out the JAL letters on instead.

  • this movie is sick !@!

  • 747-400 style flight deck in 747-200 aircraft again... it is a common mistake in airplane movies. Between 1:30 and 3:10, it appears that they simply manipulated the footage of a stable flight. Also, at 2:21, 2:27, & 3:05, the ailerons were in the position to turn the plane in the opposite direction that it went in the film (example, 2:27, plane configured to turn right, it turns left) The nose dive at 2:32 seems faked, just rotated footage of stable flight. Also, 11 passengers is not economical.

  • You also forget to notice something else. During the rapid depressization--normally a white fog emits. Although they did include the suction of debrie I'll give them that. But why didn't the oxygen mask drop?

  • I remember seeing this movie!

  • this movie was beter then 2 and 3.. honestly they sucked... this one was my favorite...

  • is this about hijacking???

  • Yes, through prisoner transport. It's bit fictitious, since the domestic carriers I know of in the U.S. do not transport criminals on normal scheduled flights.

  • This was my favorite plane movie as a kid!

  • Lauren Holly rocks!

  • 2nd movie is on my dvr cable box

  • World Trade Center Towers visible in background at :33. Timothy Whidden was model maker for this film. His only credit before 911

  • HAHAHA yea

  • Awesome ... you get it!

  • Yeah, so why was my comment marked as a bad comment? I still like the movie.

  • This movie was shown in Finland around 2001 i think, and i am still waiting to see it again, it was great.

  • 12 seconds, you can see the camrea and camrea men. XD

  • i love this movie but its a damm shame that it aint on dvd in australia coz i cant find it anywhere

  • that looks like fun.

  • lauren holly is so cool

  • Dam i wanna see this Movie!

  • the best part of this movie was when Leotta was locked outside of the cockpit trying talk to that chick and hes making those goofy ass faces LoL!

  • Yes, it was repainted with a Japan Airlines base tailplane texture. And no, it's just a movie. The Autopilot would never fully invert the plane, if it is engaged.

  • haha :p anyone who knows anything about modern aviation would have been insulted to some degree by this movie

  • this movie was on tv the night before my brother had to fly half way around the world. i made him watch it. he damn near crapped himself when he had to get on the airplane.

  • i like how the plane looks like JAL (Japan Airlines)

  • i dun think a 747 can fly upside down...the fuel just won't reach the engines that way.

  • Don't use autopilot in an emergency...

  • TransGlobal Flight One Cleared for Low Approach

  • awhsumm muvee....

  • pretty much my worst nightmare :P

  • I remember watching this movie on late-night TV in 1999. It was good, a little cheesy, but well worth the 90 minutes.

  • cool clips!!! i love this movie

  • Cool. Love this movie
