What Is The Last Movie/Show You Saw? (3 Viewers)

[Totalize]

We had a movie night last week Friday and my wife decided to dry a new Blue-Ray rental kiosk that is in the grocery store we go to.
She got:

Hunger Games Catching Fire
Thor: The dark World.

Each for a paltry $1.99 for a two night rental. This beats any other movie rental company out there.

Saw a classic Twilight Zone episode last night.

"King Nine will not return" set in 1943 WWII, where a B-25 had a forced landing in the African Desert (hauntingly close to the real b-24 "Lady Be Good").

I've seen the episode before, but it occurred to me how complete that B-25 was for being a show prop. All the radio and navigation gear was intact, various oxygen bottles installed, ammo storage bins and even the starboard engine's prop was feathered. My guess is they had a fresh surplus aircraft that was ruined just for the tv episode

"Twilight Zone" King Nine Will Not Return (TV Episode 1960) - IMDb

In the trivia section of the link I found:

Based on the mysterious discovery of "Lady Be Good", a US Air Force B-24 bomber that vanished in 1943 after a bombing run on Naples, Italy. It was discovered in the Libyan Desert in 1959 by an oil exploration team, well preserved by the desert environment. The next year the bodies of eight of the nine crew members were recovered. The date of the crash, 5 April, 1943, is inscribed on a grave seen early on.

And check out the GOOFs on the link. Someone was paying attention and would be welcome on this site! ;o)

Well, they were fairly accurate except for the last one:
"Although the B-25 crash landed with its landing gear raised, none of the propellers on the right engine are bent. "

The Starboard engine's propeller wasn't bent because the prop was feathered, with the prop blades being in the 12, 4 and 8 O'clock position. The Port engine's props were bent back and the blade's position were 180° opposite of Starboard.
