Emergency!: Most Deadly Passage (1978) Season 7, Episode 6

Good spin-off idea. Horrific soundtrack

[6/10 · 21 December 2020]

I enjoyed seeing Johnny and Roy in new surroundings and the ferry fire was a very interesting spectacle. I'm pretty sure this was a spin-off idea that didn't pan out.

On the other hand... The soundtrack music was absolutely excruciating to listen to and almost made scenes unwatchable. It boggles the mind that anyone involved in making Emergency! such a success would have countenanced such an aural atrocity.

Wing and a Prayer (1944)

NOT historically accurate

[3/10 · 4 September 2017]

There was a Battle of Midway. Japanese carriers Kaga, Soryu and Hiryu were sunk. Japanese cruisers Mikuma and Mogami were involved in the battle. Plenty of actual carrier ops footage was used in making this film.

Other than that, NONE of what happens in this movie is true.

I gave this garbage a 3 (instead of a zero) solely for the operations footage.
