RIP Ernest Borgnine

[KentPhilip]

The old duffer has pegged it at the grand old age of 95.

Is there a 70's american film he wasn't in? From the Poseiden Adventure to the Flight of the Phoenix to The dirty dozen, he was everywhere.

Now there's just James Garner and Clint to go, and the classic Hollywood icons will all be gone...

He was still working until late 2011 as well.

A Good Innings!

Indeed

Airwolf was a classic (although not aged well!)

Lets not forget the intro from Hart to Hart - "It was murder"

It wasn't, Airwolf was pants. It was something of a bully as it only took on rubbish helicopters with some crap rocket launcher strapped to it or some crop dusting type plane. You never really saw it up against something as new as itself.

Also, why couldn't they find it? 'Oh we tracked it into this huge expanse of nothing except for this big rock and then it disappeared. Perhaps it's hiding where that rock is! Naaahh!'

And who would call their kid Stringfellow Hawk! Who besides the Geldofs obviously!

Freezing in these paper jeans
standing stiff in a dead man's dream
Tobacco barons and the closet queen
walk on the walls... wank in the beans
shave... tulip... a shower and a shoe shine
that's it... sack time
everybody looks like Ernest Borgnine
that's it

Well it is now but not for its day.

Was better than Streethawk though and the intro tune for Airwolf was also epic..
