The soundtrack was even crappier. Two of my friends thought otherwise, and I spent part of one semester in college hearing it every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on the way to school.

FSI provided motors/rockets for several films. I remember back in 1988 when I was at Enertek and reading a toy/hobby industry trade publication which had an article about FSI. Harold Reese was interviewed and discussed the work that FSI did on one of the Rambo movies (Either #2 or #3, I can't remember). From personal experience working at AeroTech, movie companies are 'interesting' customers to work with. Bob "Delta Force 2, Iron Eagle 3" Sanford |

FSI did the RPGs for Red Dawn.
I built the rocket for Amazing Grace and Chuck (a real stinker of a 'movie') and used Aerotech motors. (FSI wanted to charge them 10 times as much as me). How about the Estes rocket in Diff'rent Strokes? Here is the episode number and info from wikipedia: 164"Russian Embassy"February 9, 19850719Arnold's toy rocket crash lands at the Russian embassy and nearly causes an international incident.

Actually, that one was yellow I believe... The ones I'm talking about were mounted on a base with a shield and launched by the "Monglors"(?) at Bruce Willis on the ship orbiting FLOS-TON PARADISE!!!

Right outside the concert hall. Whenever I spot that movie while scanning through the hundreds of DirecTV channels I pay for, I end up stopping and watching (or leaving it on in the background while I do something else). http://www.moviesounds.com/element/omigod.wav

Scott, When I looked at those rockets, I thought they were a bit longer than the Bullpup, and I don't recall them having the tailcone. They looked like the straight-sided Magnum Hornet, although the decals were more Bullpup.

There was an episode of Thirtysomething that got a lot of complaints from NAR members when they had Timothy Busfield's kid nearly blow himself up with an Estes Saturn V.

Yep. The kid was a boy genious. I remember that episode. As for "we just don't do it that way in real life". Sigs30 and I can attest to that also. It kills me that they go into burning buildings wearing slacks and regular shoes. Yet if they get a call at night, they jump into their bunker pants/boots. That's just the tip of the iceberg. I never could get into Erkel, so I didn't see that episode.
