  • Harsher in Hindsight: Vic Morrow, playing Captain Franklin having to take a helicopter to chase after Larry and company. In 1982, Morrow was infamously killed along with two child actors when a helicopter fell right on top of them while they were filming Twilight Zone: The Movie. Morrow in fact insisted on a $ 1 million life insurance policy before he would film any scenes involving the helicopter, and said that if he wouldn't be insured, he would walk off the picture. His wish was granted, and he very reluctantly agreed to fly in the chopper. When asked why he wanted the policy, Morrow replied "I have always had a premonition that I'll be killed in a helicopter crash!" Incidentally, Gary McLarty, the stunt pilot that was flying the helicopter that killed Morrow, also appears in this movie as a State Trooper.
