Is it just me that gets seriously fed up when watching TV programmes or films which include aircraft, and which constantly change the aircraft type? So the producers think nobody notices?
Just watched an episode of Spooks involving a flight from LHR to Tehran. Prior to boarding it's undercarriage showed it was a 747 but once inside it was a narrow body 737. On take off, it was a 737 200. Once in the air it was a 737 300. Later air shots showed an A320, then back to a 737 300 and on landing it was suddenly a 757. When being evacuated on the ground it was once again a 747. A British 747 but a US registration.
So many examples of this. The film Red Eye shows something similar. Wide body interior becomes 737 300 taxiing, then becomes A320 in air shots, and then back to a 737 300 after landing.
Even the likes of Home Alone has a DC10 from Chicago to Paris that transforms mid flight and an MD83 flying Paris to Chicago (I think not,) which also transforms. One Airport film involves a 707 which crashes in the sea but becomes a DC8 once in the water.
I find it hard to take any film or programme seriously that does this. Is it just me?
