Review of Skyjacked (1972) by Simon T — 07 May 2016
Hilariously clichéd hijacked plane popcorn. The Zuckers must have used this as the template for Airplane!: it has the lot - pregnant women, senators, shell-shocked Korean War vets... ...and Ben-Hur piloting the plane while smoking a pipe! For the first 45 minutes it's hugely enjoyable as long as you've switched off your brain.
A pity that the second half suddenly slows to a crawl and what little action is confined to James Brolin's neurotic twitching.
