Did a search and could not find anything, so thought I'd start a topic.
Describe scenes or parts of films you've seen, but cannot remember the title and cannot find them by searching IMDB.
Year: Sometime, anytime before 1994 (in colour)
Description:
It's an action comedy adventure. A man and a woman are on a dirty aeroplane, just them and the pilot. Maybe a cargo plane? They're escaping from somewhere, in South America? The Congo? East Asia? The Middle East? There's forest or mountain or somewhere exotic.
The plane is running out of fuel, but the man and woman do not know this. I think they might be sleeping. The pilot sees this, and hits the fuel gauge with his hand. It jolts up a bit, to appear as if they have more fuel. He goes back to sleep because the plane is on autopilot. He wakes up, sees the fuel is low again, so hits the gauge again. It won't go up any more so he bails out.
The couple wake up and find the pilot missing and no more fuel, so they find his instructions on how to land. I seem to recall they were written on a piece of cardboard from a box of coca cola? Whatever. They read the instructions aloud and the first one is to find "fat ground" - whereupon the man and woman start laughing because he spelled "flat" wrong.
I can remember nothing else.
I thought it might be Airplane! the movie, but I don't think so. It was a more serious action adventure type film, starring Americans, from the 1980s. I cannot recall any of the actors. I can't remember much at all apart from this specific scene, quite vividly. I was a kid when watching it.
Any ideas?
Also list your own and maybe we can all help each other out.
