If you look at the back of the box, you know exactly how everything in the story will go. You don't like any of the characters, nothing is surprising, the action is boring. The plot is just garbage. An air Force cargo plane pilot is acting and treated as an action commando and allowed to be a bodyguard for a billionaire's daughter with no combat experience and allowed to bring a gun onto a plane? Just a taste of the disappointing nonsense.
CRASH LANDING is a cheapo DIE HARD on a plane type film which runs out of steam around two-thirds in, turning into a cheapo disaster-type flick instead. Although it's pretty shoddily made and offers only mild entertainment value to the seasoned viewer, I have to say that it's the best film I've seen from B-movie director Jim Wynorski to date.
An ever-youthful Antonio Sabato, Jr. stars as a security guard working aboard a private plane that gets taken over by a terrorist gang. The usual low-rent shoot-em-up heroics ensue, all of them handled adroitly by the cast and crew; there's absolutely nothing here we haven't seen before, but the pot keeps on bubbling merrily away nonetheless.
Sadly, once the terrorist stuff is dispensed with, CRASH LANDING takes a nose dive for the worse, and even the presence of tough guy actor Michael Pare can't save it. Instead, we're bombarded with cheesy CGI effects and some hilarious plot holes (wait until you see what happens - or rather doesn't happen - to the pilot!). This hardly makes for a great film, but I've seen plenty worse recently so it didn't appear to be too bad overall.

this film is the best worst film i have ever seen. Its so terribly acted out and made but at the same time so funny because of its poor acting and plot. I think the comedy starts with the 5foot long hair straightner cord and how she got electrocuted in the bath. haha one thing you never find out is why they were hijacking the plane? "We have 20 minutes to dig a 100 yard runway" is amongst the best of the quotes as they jump into their mini diggers moving 2mph whilst speaking through walkie talkies to the person around 1 metre away from them. Also if you ever want to feel safe on a plane i suggest you hire the one from this film. it can have 5 handguns and 1 uzi blasting rounds for a few minutes with only one bullet piercing a hole in the fuel tank that is in the wrong place. I am telling you all this so that you don't have to spend money on it. "I bet your getting payed overtime for this, No I work on a flat rate" hahahahaha such a funny pathetic film
B747 flight deck is on the 1st floor, going upstairs !! Yet, all characters (good / bad) walk through some "curtains" at the front of the First Class area (before the B747 nose with enclosed radar) and pass through abundant "open space" (including toilet cubicles !!) to reach the cockpit.
Several exterior views of the B747 (extended "hump" on upper section) and winglets) suggest a B747-400 series aircraft, and this B747 has only 2 flight crew (Captain and First Officer, NO Flight Engineer), as expected, but the spiral staircase inside the cabin, behind First Class, is found in B747-100 and B747-200 series aircraft (NO extended "humps"). B747-300 and B747-400 series aircraft wth extended "humps" have straight staircases rising to the opposite side of their respective cockpits.

I just watched this movie on DVD, i was told its an action movie.... it is but for some reason i laughed the whole movie until i got kidney pain and nearly choked.
this movie is soooooo funny. watch as the guy turn on the oven and blow himself up.....HAHAHAHAHAHA :D
please do yourself a favour and WATCH this movie, if you thought AIRPLANE or NAKED GUN was funny....wait until you see this movie.
the director thought of creating an action movie....turned out he mistaken everything and did a comedy filled movie.
WATCH IT! :D

- TriviaFilm debut of Brandon Barash.
- GoofsWhen the flight crew boards the aircraft, a Boeing 747, they walk right past the steps going upstairs and continue straight to the nose of the aircraft. The access to the flight station is on the second level. The only thing in the nose of the aircraft on the passenger level is passenger seats. There is no access to the flight station there.
