jeriendhalJust finished fast-forwarding through "Disaster on the Coastliner", a 70's era made for TV disaster movie. Featuring Lloyd Bridges before he became a self-parody and William Shatner before he realized he was a self-parody.
Absolutely forgettable plot but Jesus the stunts towards the end were nuts. Two helicopters flying within twenty feet of each other and playing dodge-em with a runaway locomotive and an iron truss bridge at the same time. These days that would take several million bucks in CGI to replicate. Here it was "We'll pay you time-and-a-half, try not to fly into the train, would'ya?"
