Airport (1975) - Climb Baby, Climb Scene (6/10) | Movieclips

[@roquefortfiles]

The score in this film is fabulous. Very dramatic

[@radiohead2206]

Agreed. Totally underrated.

[@rwboa22]

Done by none other than John Cacavas, who was mostly known for TV music scores, yet also collaborated with the late Charles Osgood (CBS Sunday Morning), who he met when both were in the Army.

[@roquefortfiles]

@@rwboa22 Yes!! I spoke with John over the phone about this score. I've always been a huge fan of this score. I think its a 70's classic

Mine too,it was an awesome movie

[@jaymes1]

She went up over a thousand feet and the old bag still complaining about being so close, no gratitude 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@radiohead2206]

LOL. Be nice.

[@nursesteve2004]

she found herself out of radio contact with the ground....and realized the plane wouild crash into the mountain....she correctly reasoned that if the plane climbed by her pulling back on the yoke, the airspeed would go down. Fortunately for her, the Captain was still conscious enough to tell her to push the throttles forward.....she overcame what must have been enormous fear and pulled off a near impossible feat by climbing the 747 over the mountains, and giving the rescuers time to get a pilot on board...this to me was the most nail-bitinmg, edge-of seat scene...everything after that was downhill, except for the part of course when Maj Alexander plummetted to his death.....if this had happened in real life it would have been a bigger news story that the Miracle on the Hudson.

[@vettebecker1]

Awesome movie 🍿 ❤

[@renekauts8323]

Good old times when the movies were great! Awesome music score too!

[@vernonthiede8439]

Only 180 knots IAS when she goes for "Climb Power?" Shocking! Of course she appears to be at a full flaps setting on the exterior shots but in the cockpit the flap handle is in the retracted Zero Degrees position.

[@garylouden81]

The flaps were set to 10 degrees, not full.

[@mistofoles]

You could never be sure if Karen was looking at you or watching out for the bus coming.

[@peterm1826]

Flying High. Ripped these movies off. Perfect. 😆

[@leroyturner5005]

This was a real great

[@aviationfan997]

Look at that hell of a Jumbo Jet!

I use to refuel them at Anchorage International in the 80’s. Those 747’s and DC-10’s KLM, Sabena, JAL, KAL.

[@cidacastro2306]

❤ i love so much karen black and the beautiful charlton heston❤❤

[@renekauts8323]

Charlton Heston was THE MAN!!! And this film "Airport 1975"(1974) is sooooooo iconic! For me, even more epic than "Ben Hur"(1959) was. Especially great is that landing scene, the moment when the wheels touch the concrete!

[@jstnflyd]

Nancy Pryor (Karen Black) tries to fly the damaged airplane over the Rocky Mountains.

Climb baby Climb, rest in peace Karen Black and Charleston Heston.

[@daveygivens735]

The movie is a little campy but Karen Black acting carries it.

[@georgemallory797]

He should have just said, "Turn, baby, turn." I always thought it was funny how they'd barely miss a mountain peak when all they had to do was just turn 10 degrees.

The baby climbed.

[@flint4961]

I remember this scene a little differently when I saw it in the theatre when it premiered. They actually showed the plane clearing the mountain top - it looked like it was less than a foot, at least close enough to kick up some snow dust. It's been cut because it likely didn't look good on 4:3 TVs with pan-and-scan or letterbox format back then, but it should look decent on TVs today. I wonder if they lost that footage?

[@dj4912]

He ad-libed that one

[@gw244]

2:13 This is a typical thing The Simpsons would make fun of. She's being dramatic all while behind her is obviously a projected image.

[@leonciojaragala2108]

Music composed and conducted by John Cacavas

[@cbethel1965]

Classic

[@gargantuaism]

There is too much CGI in movies now but I am wondering if it would be a neat idea to take the movie back to the lab and CGI the hole in the plane for some of those long shots. Think about it.

[@roquefortfiles]

It could easily be done.

Airport 1975 same as the incredible hulk season 1 747.

Would increasing engine power alone cause the nose to rise?

77 is the best

[@mr.adventure0142]

@@bg147 Yes. The cast & plot was, well ok but the characters are terrible. It was a lame movie not spectacular like the others.

[@bg147]

@@mr.adventure0142 I liked it. George Kennedy was awesome. It had a very 60s/70s feel to me and wasn't an extravaganza like the others.

[@mattieice4689]

Came here for all the armchair aviation expert opinions…and wasn’t disappointed I’ll bet you guys are a blast at parties🙄

[@roquefortfiles]

Reality? The plane would be ripped to pieces on impact. The wing hitting the oil rig would be sheered off , the plane would not lurch sideways. The engine scraping the water surface would be ripped from the wing instantly. All you have to do is watch the Egypt air hijacking that ran out of fuel and ditched. It stayed intact for 200 feet and then just came apart.
