Trivia:
In the scene where they first arrive in Afghanistan, Tom Selleck really slaps Bess Armstrong in the face hard enough to knock her to the ground. more
Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene where they escape from the Arab camp, a young Arab man claims he will kill himself if she leaves. Eve screams... well, originally it was just "Men!" and he lips clearly say more. But the sound is blanked out. Otherwise, I guess it would have been a 15! more
Quotes:
Patrick O' Malley: You wrecked my plane!
Eve "Evie" Tozer: It was always a wreck!

A perfect adventure movie!, 17 October 2003
10/10
Author: John Hewat (hewats@nex.net.au) from Melbourne, Australia

This is one of the best adventure films I've ever seen. Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong are great and Jack Weston as Struts is hillarious.

It has some great scenes of the planes flying across country. And John Barry's music is excellent.

The story is simple: Rich woman (Armstrong) hires drunken pilot (Selleck) to fly her to China to find her missing father.

Meanwhile, people are trying to have her killed, and each stop they make along the way allows for a sideline adventure.

All in all, one of my favourite films, and a rare treat of a movie. They don't them like this any more. I wish it were available on DVD!
