Topic: Skyjacked


In the News (Fri 18 Dec 09)

  
  The USA's first factory dual-sport vehicle receives a suspension lift from "The Bear of Suspensions" - ...
Having installed several Skyjacker lifts already: a 4-inch lift on a Scrambler almost eight years ago (which my daughter's family are still enjoying), the same suspension kit on my own CJ-7 three years ago, and another 4-inch lift kit on my son's 1976 K1500 Suburban four years ago, I decided to stick with Skyjacker.
Due to manufacturing processes in the Skyjacker springs (which are matched closely at the factory before shipping, by the way) and in the factory springs-including wear and tear-a difference of up to 2 inches can result in what you might expect from the kit.
Skyjacker estimates the 4-inch lift using original factory heights-not the heights after 16 years and nearly 150,000 miles.

And for once the closed confines of a 727 are used to good effect, creating a sense of claustrophobia that rivals the final 30 minutes of the original "Airport" in generating suspense and a sense of dread.
A note: "Skyjacked" was idiotically renamed "Sky Terror" for its television showings and may still be known as such in some cable listings.
"Skyjacked" distinguishes itself from the onslaught of disaster films that accentuated the '70s in that it is neither a disaster flick nor reliant on special effects.

One of the first of many '70s disaster films, Skyjacked (1972) puts together what would soon become the traditional ensemble cast--former film and TV stars who are subjected to all kinds of horrific situations.
Skyjacked's director, John Guillermin, went on to do another key disaster film with The Towering Inferno (1974), but his knack for aerial photography was no doubt learned in large part on The Blue Max (1966).
So sit back, fasten your seatbelts and remember a time when the captain smoked on the flight deck, pregnant women ordered Bloody Mary's and the worst that could be imagined was being hijacked to Moscow.

The film is a surprisingly suspenseful one and also delivers a number of surreal flashbacks from the vet's twisted mind that seem straight out of a Frank Tashlin (The Girl Can't Help It, 1956) film or a paranoid fantasy like The Manchurian Candidate, (1962).
Though the acting challenges of Skyjacked don't appear overly taxing, the technical aspect of the shooting was.
Skyjacked is solid escapist fare and raised the bar for disaster films several notches, although today, the same story would be treated in a radically different way.

 HistoryLink Essay: Dan Cooper parachutes from skyjacked jetliner on November 24, 1971.

 Skyjacked Film Review - Time Out Film
A routine Airport-style thriller, with Heston as the pilot whose nerves are battered when the 707 he's flying from LA to Minneapolis is discovered to have a bomb on board, ready to explode unless he agrees to head for Moscow.
The skyjacker is a disgruntled Vietnam veteran (Brolin), but the film is much too busy with its disaster movie routine (pregnant lady giving birth, and so forth) to make anything of this.
Only a highly professional cast alleviates the general predictability and tedium.
