Please forgive me if this has been mentioned in past threads that I've not read, but did anyone notice in "Trash" a ship passing by in the background just as Mal and 'Yolanda' were landing in the 2nd shuttle? It passes from right to left just as they touch down.
It's Clint Eastwood's FIREFOX!! The FX guys must have had a fondness for it, so they slipped it in here. Go ahead, pop in the disk and see! If you freeze it or zoom you'll notice it's tilted at an angle so you can't see the star on the wings, probably to avoid legal issues, I'd assume.

Am I RIGHT? Isn't that cool?

Aren't you gonna threaten me or somethin' Chrisisall

Actually that's an SR-71 Blackbird.

I saw it too, and my first though was "WTF", as I snicked at the FX studios little joke.

Fremdfirma, I just this very second put it up on my computer and ran it back and foward, and you're half right.
On the right, before it passes behind the building, it seems to be the SR-71 as seen in the link you kindly provided, but as it moves from behind the building on the left it appears to be the Firefox. The FX boys had it both ways, it seems.

I want it to be the Firefox, anyway, so even if I'm wrong,...I'm not.

That MIG-31 lovin' Chrisisall
