Murder on Flight 502 (70's made for tv)

[lester1/2jr]

colorless, late in the cycle disaster-ish movie that's mediocre-aly entertaining if you overlook the ludicrousness of it.  Farrah Fawcett looks great but doesn't have much to do.  Danny Bonaduce fortunately only has a cameo.  A murder is set to take place on a plane,  a guy who looks like Steven Colbert and is a cop happens to be on board and armed.  We also meet a drunk mystery writer, an irritating eldery couple, Sonny Bono as a washed up rock star who gets seated next to a hot teenage girl who happens to be one of his biggest fans and some other celebrities I don't know.  

                         I think between Love Boat and Fantasy Island they had pretty much thrown any realism out the window and they're like "just let us write this dialogue, we know it makes no sense and this scenerio is ridiculous"  dvd came with a useless quiz consisting of 3 questions 2 of which the screenwriter probably couldn't answer and also a biography of just farrah fawcett talking about her ill fated decsion to leave charlies angels to star in 3 turkeys which is where she was when this aired.
