If you are familiar with the filmography of director Jim Wynorski (who here uses his oft-used pseudonym "Jay Andrews"), you probably know that this is one director who focuses on quantity rather than quality. And if you are familiar with the movies coming from Cinetel Films - "Crash Landing" being one of them - you know that they put out B movies cheaper and cheesier than those from other companies. To be fair, this movie isn't the worst to come from Wynorski or Cinetel. There's a minimum of stock footage used, though there's one bit showing a train that is shown mirror image, meaning the writing on the train is backwards! Some of the CGI special effects look shabby, but some look okay for what was a real cheap budget. The airplane interior looks decent, and the movie does move at a pretty brisk clip. But the action is sparse and dull, Sabato and Pare both give pretty one-note and boring performances, the female lead is annoying, and the various plot turns are pretty predictable. Still, it could have been a LOT worse.

i guess the problem i have with this movie is i have seen it before,and it's done better every time.for a movie about a plane being hijacked,this one has pretty much no thrills or excitement.and the acting is not the best i have seen,to be polite.i found the dialogue cringe worthy for the most part.and there doesn't seem to be a lot of realism to it either.EchoBridge has something to do with this production.i have seen a fair amount of their movies,and other than this one,i have thought they were well done.but everyone is entitled to a misstep now and then.besides,this is just my view of the movie.i would'nt say this is an awful movie.it's just nothing new for the genre,and it is pretty slow.i guess i'd give Crash Landing a 4.5/10

I can't believe that someone actually paid to have this film made. Stupid, unrealistic, and stereotypical. Right from the take off of the massive 747 the pilot pulled the throttles back to increase speed. then you have 5 armed persons with semi to fully automatic weapons firing without so much as one bullet breaching the walls of the pressurized cabin at 38,000 feet. Then once below in the belly of the plane a stray bullet hits a FUEL line and we see the fuel leaking from the side of the plane. The acting was just horrid and forced. There just didn't seem to be any direction. I have seen some pretty horrid B movies in my lifetime but with the names that were in this film I was extremely disappointed.

Oh man, where to begin: Take a washed-up actor with a generic stock character name accompanying a stereotypical rich-girl.Add your generic bad-guy crew completely devoid of charisma and acting ability.Add your unbelievable action scenes, meaning it cannot be believed! A gunfight in a rear of the plane with no stray bullets causing damage to the plane or other passengers! Antonio Sabato, Jr. escaping gunfire by hiding behind an aluminum container! (Note the hull is damaged by same gunfire.) A struggle in which a person shot in the chest no-sells the injury and fatally wounds his attacker! A decompression which doesn't suck anyone out of the plane! An Army Corps Engineering Unit able to "create a 100 foot runway extension" in 20 minutes! A Boeing 747-100 (or is it a 767-300?) not needing reverse thrust to land on a narrow atoll! The subdued hijacker, who manages to free himself after capture, not bouncing around like a pinball during the "crash landing!" All of which leads to a climax that is truly award-worthy... a Razzie award! Oh, and screw the injured and dead flight crew, there's steak on the BBQ! Best. Movie. Ever. 9 out of 10 for sheer camp value.
