Speak for yourself. I like the first and third equally. This one isn't as good imo. It's still enjoyable though. I also liked the 4th and 5th one.

Thanks! I always thought Esperanza was a take on Noriega. The best part of that clip is learning (although I already knew) that that's a real helicopter and a real 747. No CGI CRAP that they would've done today.

Exactly. The amount of practical work that went into this movie was awesome. Check these out:

^^ That would all be done digitally today, even the control tower set. It's why movies back then are so awesome, because they went that extra mile to make sure it looked convincing. Everything was real, either real 747s or hand-made sets and models/miniatures. Beats CGI anyday.
