> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > “Shep, no!” Hah! The scene with Shep is one of the best and most underrated in the whole movie, though best appreciated only by those who have owned large rambunctious dogs. I have that scene as a separate video clip that I’ve watched so many times – one of the best still frames in the movie is a closeup of Shep at the instant that he braces to make the big jump that knocks the airline guy down to the floor. If you pause the movie at exactly the right instant the expression on the dog’s face is priceless – a sort of mix of enthusiastic anticipation and the joy of some ancient predation instinct! 🤣 ---

I liked the Steven Stucker character, especially when he yanked the cord for the landing strip lights as a prank. He was the only one that acted like they were actually making a comedy. There’s also the Howard Jarvis taxi passenger cameo which most people miss as they didn’t live in California in the 1970s, but is hilarious once explained. ---
