the pilots double is stupid


He says 100 000 is not enough. 2 years of my life studying the tapes plastic surgery the reports voice lessons, all that homework and he doesnt even know that derval always says chao and he then wears his hat to high . Stupid lol

Not only that, he can fly an AVRO Vulcan but he doesn't know how to release a four-point seat harness underwater (allowing Largo to dispatch him with relative ease).

I thought the harness jammed due to the crash. Oh, I forgot, when you want to needlessly nitpick, it suddenly must be that he doesn't know how to unlatch it.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

Well, when he fails to actually turn the button 90º prior to pressing it...

Just sayin' here.

What's really stupid is the fact that he actually thinks that they'll need him after he steal the plane rather than need him dead.

reply

And they were planning on killing him anyway even if he did not demand higher payment. He was an expendable just like most characters in these types of movies.

I think if you look carefully, when the aircraft first starts to sink, he kind of panics a bit.

Later, underwater, after his oxygen hose gets cut, I think that he reaches down between his legs for the ejection handle, but the ejector seat failed as well. As a matter of interest, there have been a few successful ejections under water, but not many.
