一觸驚魂 (1983)
Air Disaster


Reviewed by: Brian Thibodeau
Date: 06/15/2006

Supercheap real-life disaster story falls prey to superdumb AIRPORT-style melodramatics & characterizations, trotting out the usual passenger list—the heroic co-pilot (Ray Lui), his stewardess girlfriend, the businessman and his conniving mistress, the snotty movie star, her panty-sniffing stalker, the folk singer, the benevolent doctor, the Buddhist monk and many more—then kills them all in a fiery stock-footage crash allegedly caused by a hat trick involving lightning, an open bottle of nitric acid and a bunch of exploding cigarette lighters! Shameless exploitation, badly directed and overacted, elicits tons of unintentional laughs.
