Old movie, even older brain. Need help!
Posted by DiscoStu on Tuesday, June 4, 2019 8:48 PM

When I was a kid I remember a recurring movie from the early days of HBO. It seemed to be on every time I flipped on the TV. Now it’s either an obscure movie or a child’s fever dream but I seem to remember the film as a dystopian chase movie where the main character was pursued by a pilot flying a black A-7.  Does this ring any bells?  I’ve Googled the crap out of this to no avail.  I’m afraid I won’t get any sleep until I sort this outIndifferent!

Bingo!!  That’s it!  Google confirms it.  Guess it wasn’t an A-7.  Lookslike it was an F-86, though the poster says it was a Phantom.  Memory is a funny thing.

Never saw that one.  Reminds me of "death race" a disabled p40 that can taxi but cant take off getting chased by a German tank in north Africa.

I beleive that Kermit Weeks (of Fantasy of flight) owns the TP-40N that was used in that movie. He describes it in one of his "Kermie Cams".

Yeah, that was a made-for-TV movie, from the golden days of made-for-TV movies.  Lloyd Bridges played the panzer commander, if I remember correctly.

The Last Chase. Starred Lee Majors as a fugitive race car driver and Burgess Meredith as an aging Air Force pilot who chased Majors' race car with a black painted F-86. Not a bad movie for television. A fun watch actually.

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...

I really miss a lot of the old '70s-80s cheesy sci fi films.  They made for great MST3K shows.  I think of movies like Logan's Run.  They're cringe-worthy today, but they were fun to a kid growing up.

Anyone remember “Duel” from the early 70’s? Great flick directed by Steven Spielberg.
