Talk:Mother Lode (1982 film)

Untitled
Regarding the trivia about the Mollyco Cessna 185 landing just a few minutes after it landed, I should point out that at a small airfield it would not be entirely surprising for multiple Cessna 185s to be based. Cessna built lots. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.74.222.1 (talk) 21:48, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Article needs improvement
I came across the film on TV about a third of the way through, and turned to Wikipedia for a quick catch-up and to read whether it was worth watching the remainder. Imagine my disappointment and annoyance to find out the film's eventual "surprise" (Heston's twin roles) is given away in the article Lede. Thanks for that (not!).

Now to the substance: The Plot section's first sentence is one of the most clunky I've ever read. "When her husband George disappears after a flight into northern Raleigh's interior wilderness to search for gold, Andrea Spalding (Kim Basinger) contacts Jean Dupre (Nick Mancuso) for help, who just happens to be available for hire after intimidating a surly passenger with aerobatics in a Molyco Company Cessna 206, then landing and walking away from the aircraft into North Carolina State's campus to taxi onto an active runway into the path of a landing Cessna 185, with the Molyco executive still on board with Howling Cow Ice Cream." A) Howling Cow Ice Cream? Irrelevant! B) "Molyco"? Confusing, as it's spelt "Mollyco" a few sentences later. C) Raleigh's interior wilderness? Which Raleigh is that!! Totally confusing, as Mount Raleigh is one of the principal summits of the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains of southern British Columbia (where the film was both shot and set, according to the article's base categories) and yet Raleigh is also North Carolina's state capital (and the home of NC State University's "Howling Cow" product). Yes I wish I'd seen the start of the movie, so as to know what country I was meant to be watching. Overall the film wasn't too bad, and deserves an improved article.
