The Twilight Zone: Nightmare At 20,000 Feet 2



Bob Wilson (William Shatner) is a salesman on an airplane for the first time since his nervous breakdown six months ago. He spots a gremlin on the wing of the plane. Every time someone else looks out the window the gremlin moves out of view, so nobody believes him. Bob realizes his wife is starting to think he needs to go back to the sanitarium, but also, if nothing is done about the gremlin it will damage the plane and cause it to crash. Bob borrows a sleeping policeman's revolver, and opens the window to shoot the gremlin, succeeding despite the fact that he is nearly blown out of the plane himself. Although he is whisked away in a straitjacket, there is evidence of his claims: the unusual damage to the plane's engine nacelle yet to be discovered by mechanics.
I love The Shat because he's Canadian. Yeah I'm proud and I know that's pathetic.

    I remember this one from when I was a kid!

    Yeah, I'm proud that he's Canadian too. Weird, eh?

    When the gremlin is kneeling on the wing prying up the panel you can see the actor's shoes under his gremlin costume. But when the gremlin first peers in the cabin he is quite scary.
