Tomorrows are not guaranteed to anyone, but just in case, eat your vegetables.

So let's try again. "You're gonna love this - you know this car cost a hundred and fifty-five thousand bucks?" "So what?" "So my house didn't cost a hundred and fifty-five thousand bucks!" Hints: B-movie ripoff of a very successful movie series. The lead actor was a Chicagoan, better known for a TV series, nearing the end of his film career; his co-star was born in the USA but raised in Canada, and was better known for a role that required a lot of prosthetic makeup. The lead villain was once a villain in another long running movie series.

"Out you two pixies go, troo da door or out da window!"

Beef-beef, beef-beef, went the cattle truck's horn.

Miles Quade, the motorcycle daredevil in Earthquake, was originally to be played by Joe Namath, who passed on the role - it went to Richard Roundtree, star of Shaft.

Nice clean build! I had the same kit and made a still-unfinished Phoenix from it (need to redo the struts for the skids to match the movie plane) :

"Sin" in Spanish doesn't mean sin, it means "without".

It's usually more successful making an actor look older (like Dustin Hoffman as a 121-year-old in Little Big Man) than younger (like 49-year-old Jimmy Stewart playing 25-year-old Charles Lindbergh in The Spirit of St. Louis).

USA Records released the first hit "Kind of a Drag" by the Buckinghams, who were named after Chicago's famous fountain.
