Made For Movie

Besides real aircraft and helicopter, the movie is showing lots of model. Writer and director have considered too a 'Made for Movie' amphibian seen in episode 16. This fictional aircraft was part of some merchandising products. The kit manufacturer IMAI issued this set of the Ookuni / ぉぉ<に flying boat :

Thanks to my friend JCC who got this set in his collection.

Links Between the Movie and the Series

According Wikipedia, "the film was shot simultaneously with the movie version. Some of the cuts taken by the television staff were used in the movie version."
From Nihon chinbotsu (1973) we identify some common footage :
Takeoff of

  • the Boeing 707 of Cathay Pacific;
  • the Boeing 727 of China Airlines;
  • the Boeing 747 of JAL-Japan Air Lines

all seen through a TV screen (movie) or wide screen (if you're watching the TV Series) !
Some helicopter action too : the Kawasaki-Vertol KV-107 and Bell UH-1 serial 41537.
