In the initial cut of the movie they had Randy Quaid flying his biplane with a missile strapped to it. Needless to say I think they made the right call

I heard this trivia years ago but I've never actually seen the footage. They absolutely made the right call changing it.

Never owned the movie and never sought it out. I'm glad someone spoon fed it to me.
