Race for the Yankee Zephyr   Action and adventure  Not yet rated
Be the first...   Time Out says  The Yankee Zephyr of this
amiable treasure hunt yarn is a US Navy cargo plane, missing
since 1944, with a shipment of medals, a crate of Old Crow, and
50 million dollars in gold bullion aboard. The race to claim the
salvage rights involves jet boats, beat-up helicopters, and
mechanical abortions of the latter's parts, with Pleasence as a
wheezy old sot who discovers the wreck. Pitting him and his
macho partner (Wahl) against the suave penthouse chic of
Peppard's businessman, Hemmings operates the race at a
stop/start pace that leaves you feeling genial enough to forgive
the stereotyping and the thin running jokes. It's all so
lightweight that the action has to be anchored into place by a
picaresque script involving crocodiles and their various
genitalia.   Add +  Release details  UK release:    108 mins
