This is absolutely amazing! Listening to an author talking about this, and how the big jumbo jets in practice ought to be able to do the same thing. This guy got in BIG trouble for doing this, although it was probably the greatest Boeing marketing ever!
Is it possible for any derivative of the 367-80 to look bad during any phase of flight?
To me it looked like there were no charted speeds during this phase of development so they just rotated and let it lift off on the borderline of stalling.

I cringe every time I see that takeoff.

Yeah, I never understood why the 707 looked so bad on takeoff and why the roll took so long, so I tried it in MSFX. I think it's underpowered.

I agree, it looks like they just pulled up early, and held that pitch and waited.
