Talk:Con Air

I'm watching this movie on TV right now and wondering "How did I suck so bad back then?" I missed so many good shots and a few guns! I need to buy this somewhere and revamp it with some good shots. I only rented it last time. - Gunmaster45

This movie bothered me when I was a teenager -- what in the hell was that giant armory onboard the plane for, exactly? Fighting a war? But what bothered me more than the arsenal of twenty or thirty full-auto assault rifles and twenty or thirty shotguns -- for a crew of three guards on an airplane -- was the high explosive grenades! Tear gas projector, sure, that makes sense, for suppressing airborne riots, but what in the hell did they need explosives on a plane for? The insanely idiotic National Guard bothered me nearly as much, though, but that's because I grew up on Army bases and knew a lot of Guardsman and Reservists -- and none of them struck me as quite that dumb.
