| Goofs | Like most aircraft, the F-16 stores some of its fuel in the wings. Plus it was prepped and ready for a flight, which means its tanks would be full. So, when the wings were torn off, the resulting fuel leak would have burned the jet up immediately. See more » |

My heart just isn't in it. I mean, romance just doesn't seem real to me anymore. Gloria: Real? You don't write real - you write about people that sail off into the god damn sunset. Joan Wilder: Well, what about the next day, when the sun comes up? Gloria: There is no next day! That's why it's a romance. You've got to stop confusing real life with a romantic novel! See more » |
