Trivia

The helicopter seen during the first act is an early version of the Aerospatiale Gazelle. The one seen is the SA340 which is the predecessor to the SA341G. The difference is that the early version uses a standard tail rotor and the 341G was the introduction of the Fenestron enclosed tail rotor.

User Reviews

oh frank tsk tsk

Patrick o'neal plays his usual slimy self absorbed jerk ... it seems its the only role he's suited for ... the rest of the episode was routine coercion by o'neal of any witnesses or killing them to protect his daughter ... yeah right ... frank uses a trick to ensure the remaining witness, sheree north stays alive ... fat frank sails a glider and plays the piano in this episode
