Anyone ever noticed that the "Plane of Death" book Hammond "reads" (favorite scene in the episode
) is not actually a real book?
I Googled it and found nothing. Then I tried to figure out what the back cover says...
Front and spine: Plane of Death - William Troy
Back:
Plane of Death
It started as an ordinary journey. It became a flight into Hell. William Troy returns to explosive form with a tale of heroism, intrigue, and
truffles. The kind of book you purchase by mistake whilst loafing around Gatwick Village. Plane of Death will have you literally (vomiting) with excitement.
"Utter rubbish" - The Daily Mail
"I really liked the cover" - The Spectator
"Gripping" - Amateur Pirate Magazine
"Riveting" - (K something ing...I have no idea) Monthly
"A (f/h something ing) turd of a book, do not quote me on the back cover" - Sue (Angl/And something)
"I laughed until my arm fell off" - The Daily Telegraph
Yeah probably NOBODY else cares lol, but I always love trying to figure out what news articles, books, etc. say in movies. For example, the news paper clipping at the end of Batman Begins was poorly written and rife with grammatical errors; obviously they never intended for it to be read (BluRay ftw). "Plane of Death," however, was plainly held right up to the camera, though video compression and blurring make it hard to decipher all of the text.
