[anonymous-user]

Another star from my youth dies, I used to watch Mission Impossible almost religiously as kid. Much better than the films with Tom Thumb

Surely this can't be true.

My brother and I have been through this already. Must resist urge to start again....nnnnggggggg

Dammit! It IS true and don't call me Shirley


RIP Peter. You've left us some comedy gold.

"Joey..do you like movies about gladiators?"

Captain Oveur: You ever been in a cockpit before?
Joey: No sir, I've never been up in a plane before.
Captain Oveur: You ever seen a grown man naked?

That film is 30 years old, and still refreshingly funny.

My duplicate thread was closed
So here is a link to some classic quotes: http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0006136/quotes

Mission Impossible is being repeated on QUEST in the mornings so I have been hitting Sky+. I had forgotten how good they were.

(if not implausible in places)

Few people realize that Peter was the younger brother of the more famous James Arness. More famous to Americans I should say. He played Matt Dillon on the TV show "Gunsmoke" that ran for 25 years. He is still living.

[Eric Mc]

He was also a regular in a forgotten but rather good 1960s US TV series set in WW2 called "Court Martial".

Airplane and Airplane 2 are amongst my all time favourite films of all time. And Capt Oveur had some genius lines delivered brilliantly! RIP Peter!

Hubby has already threatened to watch them tonight. I have no problem with this except that I know he will quote every (and I mean every) line from it!

Huh?

Very sad news. RIP Peter.

This thread has finally solved something which nagged me every time I watched Airplane - where had I seen him before? Never failed to laugh so never bothered too much about the 'problem' but it was always there.

Thanks folks!
