"That's a nice wing . . . I love this shape."

I am convinced that one of the two mechanics in that scene is in three movies, each ten years apart: Blazing Saddles, then Fletch, then Honeymoon in Vegas (as head of the Flying Elvises, Utah Chapter).

Kind of fun to read the game preview headlines after the games - some optimism there!

I can't beilieve I'm actually correcting my own quote - and for this..

The actor was Burton Gilliam, not Beau Starr. Wrong mechanic.

Just wanted to set straight this urgent piece of useless information.

As you were.

I meant to say that he was in only three movies, each a decade apart. I don't think I ever saw him in anything else.
