Someone explain to me what this movie has to do with the St. Louis Rams??? --Rpresser 01:29, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Answer: Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch starred in the movie, and he was a former Los Angeles Rams player. Mystery explained I guess. I still wouldn't consider the movie to be so closely related to the Rams that it belongs in the St. Louis Rams project. --Rpresser 04:21, 15 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Aircraft type edit

Call me pedantic, but I'd love to add the type of aircraft that features in this film to the article. (I think it's a DC-4 but does anyone know if it might be a DC-6 or a DC-7?)

Wikipedia attracts plenty of plane geeks and, like me, wannabe plane geeks, so a verifiable source is, as ever, a must here. Thanks in advance. Jawj uk (talk) 20:24, 30 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

IMDB says "Although the subject plane is a C-54/DC-4, several of the exterior shots used stock footage of DC-6, M-404, CV-240 planes." As common in movies, plane geeks weren't catered to when picking stock footage.--Prosfilaes (talk) 16:56, 31 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Huh? edit

This article states: "In 1971, the film was remade as a made-for-television movie, Terror in the Sky, a Movie of the Week special with Doug McClure in the title role." So how did McClure play "the Terror in the Sky," i.e., the title role? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.54.158.128 (talk) 21:04, 15 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Instead of going "Huh?" you could fix it like I just did now.John Simpson54 (talk) 15:19, 26 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Remove unsupported character from URL edit

The exclamation point in the page URL breaks the link on some social media sites. When this happens, it ends up sending people to the disambiguation page. Per the Help:URL page, "Even though PHP's urlencode() automatically percent-encodes them, these characters do not get URL-encoded by wfUrlencode(). The ":" symbol is a partial exception – it is not encoded anywhere except for IIS 7.0."

I am not experienced enough with the site to know how to fix this. To make it consistent with other films of a similar name, it would seem to make sense to change the link to "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Hour_(1957_film)". That link already redirects to the link with the exclamtion point. Should probably be the other way around. Would a more experienced editor take this on? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indigotraveler (talkcontribs) 17:25, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
