What the H#&& was that?

I counted 11 or 12 different movie clips.

The BT-60 rocket was on the hand held "weapon" that Torg (or some name like that, was paying off the ugly paid assasins with.

The rockets in the scene you had were indeed Bullpups.

Once I saw the "mashing" of the scenes, I fast-forwarded and missed the Bullpups. So, on this goofy clip, what time do the bullpups appear?

At time 1:14 where the guy from "True Lies" fires the RPG that was supposed to be one of the bullpups fired by the ugly guys.

Yes, in other words, the goofy mash-up eliminated the bullpups. I.e. it does not show the bullpups. I'm looking for the actual clip with the bullpups.

It's almost like MST3K divorced itself and split the kids into two families.

I'm happy to see the "original" cast is back together! As a bonus, they're going to be in Milwaukee on February 20th!

One thing I enjoyed was since these guys are from MN, they would many times throw in WI references to their conversations during the movies.

If I recall correctly, weren't those car-rockets used in the Green Hornet's car FSI rockets? Anyone know for sure (or was this already discussed and I missed it...? )

Digging up an old thread here...

I'm giving a short (10-15 minute) tech talk at our club meeting this Thursday evening on model rockets used in the entertainment industry. In preparing this pitch, I made "liberal" use of the material posted in this thread and in a couple of others on this forum - you guys are a gold mine of information! My thanks for making this presentation fairly easy to assemble

Here is the talk, in PDF format. Comments/additions are welcome, as always.

Umm . . . .

http://v-serv.com/usr/fx.htm

Having re-read this thread now, there was also the Saturn V flown at the 1969? Superbowl. That was on TV. There are several helicopter mounted rockets we made which used FSI or Estes motors not ours. Mostly with the Helipilot Clay. Not on the USR website. Yet . . . .

Bluebonnet Bowl, Houston Astrodome. And yes, barely 1969 (i.e. new years eve).
The Estes, the Piesters, and others from the companies were there. There were also Alphas and (i think) a couple of Astro-1's flown from the endzones.

I just happened to be watching, building rockets I got for Christmas, as my parents were at a NYE party. All my rocket buddies at the time were off for the holidays and I couldn't stand it that I couldn't call them!

Very nice, Bill! Thanks for the shout out. I'm glad our members were able to supply you with lots of great info.
