THEY WANT THE PILOT DEAD

You killed your own passengers you S.O.B.

Instead of seeing die a Beaitiful 747, it should be better to see a DC-10 crash

'and Joseph Cotten as "The Priest"' - how many dodgy horror films had that as a credit somewhere

[forestdad]

Crap film, great book (what Herbert isn't?) and how HOT is Jenny??

[pea6]

A totally awful adaptation of a great novel.

@AustralianAreRacists It's "cannot". One word.

I remember this movie shortly after it was released and for the time was quite a creepy thriller. It was often shown on either the U.S. cable channels HBO or the Movie Channel around 1982. Been wanting to see this after 27-28 years and too bad it's not on Netflix or Amazon. Always loved those Aussie thrillers from the late 70's, like Thirst, Patrick, The Survivor...

The U.S. film Sole Survivor from '82 was also a low-budget creepy thriller with a similar plot.

is robert powell's character dead all along

[pegleg747]

There is an American film called "Sole Survivor" that came out in 1982. Somewhat of the same idea; one woman survives a plane crash. But, this movie spawned the Final Destination series, in that death is not happy that the woman survives...

It's really creepy, atmospheric; well shot film. I saw it in those awesome giant VHS boxes at an old video store recently...man, good times.

I have it on vhs tape

Good movie. I watched it last night. Funny how they are a little bit coy about where it's set - clearly looks like Australia (it's Adelaide) and one or two Aussie actors, but mostly very plummy Brits (Agutter et al).

But, yes - seek it out. Good low budget horror movie.

wow i gotta see this! by the way, this was Joseph Cottens last movie :(

[DC322]

He was in Airport '77.

[DisasterFlicks]

and the Concorde Affaire '79

[aylmer666]

@DisasterFlicks Concorde Affair 79 is the best Airport ripoff of them all. Great cast but most of all an excellent Stelvio Cipriani score. A great miniature plane crash too (all here on youtube).

[DisasterFlicks]

@aylmer666 it was released before airport 79. kinda hard to rip off a movie that didn't exist at the time :)

[aylmer666]

@DisasterFlicks I didn't say "79", but anyway it's pretty common for ripoffs to beat out their inspiration to the theater, because they can be made so quickly as to anticipate the inspiration's success based purely on it being announced in Variety or something.

awesome Robert Powell rulez as an actor

[shogunly]

they should remake this , from what i could see in trailer the effects are not al that great .  in the story he literally walks out from the fire that killed everybody else .
