Things I learned after watching Capricorn One



1.Not paying attention even for 10 seconds can result in the kidnapping of your friend.

2. It's pretty easy to hang on to a crop duster

3. If your son left your crop-dusting business to become a lawyer then he's probably a pervert


4. If you're told twice that Console 36 is faulty then that's one too many.

Y'all a bunch of perverts.

Let's keep this one alive, eh? Such a great film, nearly FORTY years on!

Number ? - If you're evil enough, you can talk freely with your co-conspirators about cutting off the video feed between Brubaker and his wife... while she's sat next to you.

Don't know if anyone's mentioned it on another thread, but the soundtrack to this film, considering it's from the seventies, feels quite a few years ahead of its time. Brilliant.

Don't worry, nobody will notice that voice communication allegedly from Mars orbit to Earth is virtually instantaneous, provided the scene is dramatic enough. (Light gets faster under pressure.)

I assumed the phone call Gould received at the bar was by the conspirators to distract him while they grabbed the tech.

There were a couple of scenes where they showed Brolin's hands were dripping blood as he was holding onto the crop duster. But yeah, he probably should have fallen off after the first loop-de-loop.

Telly Savalas invented the wearing a baseball cap backwards thing back in the 70's.


If you're riding in a cropduster, you should always keep your head down.

There are guys whose job it is, is to give enemas to elephants.

I realize this was posted years ago but I wanted to bump it because it made me laugh out loud. :)
