I remember watching this at my house over the summer when I was about 12. Oddly there was a store made stromboli in the fridge. As I recall it was especially delicious. I remember him saying the "shot in the ass full of luck" line.
Just after DB was in the news, a friend of mine worked at a bank in Minneapolis, MN. She said some of the Cooper money was discovered at her bank. So, DB survived the jump and was spending the cash....The banks had all the serial numbers of the DB money, and she was questioned by the FBI along with all the other bank employees.
Incredible plan. Some of these criminals are so cunning and smart, imagine If they focused that energy Into making money legitimately?! D. B. Cooper, also known as Dan Cooper, was an unidentified man who hijacked Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305, a Boeing 727 aircraft, in United States airspace on November 24, 1971. During the flight from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington, Cooper told a flight attendant he had a bomb, demanded $200,000 in ransom (equivalent to approximately $1,500,000 in 2024)[1][2] and requested four parachutes upon landing in Seattle. After releasing the passengers in Seattle, Cooper instructed the flight crew to refuel the aircraft and begin a second flight to Mexico City, with a refueling stop in Reno, Nevada. About thirty minutes after taking off from Seattle, Cooper opened the aircraft's aft door, deployed the staircase, and parachuted into the night over southwestern Washington. Cooper's true identity and whereabouts have never been determined conclusively. (Wikipedia)
when cooper pulled this off i thought he was a genius and i still do. but i would like to hear what ever happened to him. when the money was found by kids i wondered if he lived.
Back in the early 1990's we used to hang out at a bar in Surrey BC, just a few of us regulars always hanging out. One of our gal pals mentioned something very 'different' with this one dude who used to drop in, kept VERY much to himself, strange dude, oddest part was that he was super smart and had that *_'look'_* .... akin to ---> DB himself !!! REALLY !!!
you would think the research department in the making of this movie would get some of the facts right.. Cooper jumped at approximately 8 PM in November around Thanksgiving. It was. Completely dark, it was raining, he left his JCPenney tie on the plane, he also jumped from a much lower height than the one depicted at the beginning of this movie..
My theory is........he didn't jump ! I think he'd worked out where he could hide on the plane. When it landed, he waited for an opportunity to leave. At the airport where the plane landed the police were already expecting him not to be there. How well did the police search the plane ? Did they take it apart ? Was a cordon put around the plane and everyone coming and going identified ?
Yikes. At first I thought it was a trio of people trying to solve the mystery, and the jump in the opening scene was merely an attempt to recreate the Cooper exploit, to see where he might have landed. Then realized, no, it was actually a bad script exploiting the real life event.
I lived up there when this happened. From what I’ve been told D. B. Cooper was wearing a business. It’s cold, wet, and a hostile environment. There are ravines concealed by heavy ferns. I don’t think he survived. If he fell into the Columbia River he wouldn’t last very long. And, years later some kids found a good bit of the money.
Fun fact last time i saw this movie back in the 80s i remember loving it but i always thought the actor playing Db Copper was the guy from Spencer for hire. Just realized how wrong i was. 🤣😀😂😁
It wasn't until Vince Peterson was exposed in 2022 that you notice how big the chin is in the D B Cooper sketch...I have no doubt that's the man,due to the rare metal in the tie he left behind, only 6 people on the planet came in touch with it...Vince died in 2002 aged 83yrs old!
It's strange how in Europe we were better informed than the American public. From day 1 it was reported as US military branch & that he never made it alive.
I wonder if I flew on that airplane we went to Disneyland in 1975 on the way down it was an older 727 like 60s looking interior on our trip back from Los Angeles to Portland a much newer 727 I believe this same flight would have continued onto Seattle so I wonder if we might have been on that plane tried to ask my friend who worked for Alaskan Airlines if somehow that would be possible to contact United tell them about the date we flew to Los Angeles but he said like probably no but he was a mechanic so I think maybe they would let us know if that plane kept flying the Los Angeles Portland Seattle route I don't know maybe it was San Diego Los Angeles Portland Seattle Vancouver British Columbia not sure what the routes would have been it was also very possible that this was just a Portland Los Angeles round trip flight not going to continue on to Seattle but considering that Seattle is only a couple hundred miles north not even sure how that would all work out remembered that we had to go through a metal detector leaving Los Angeles but when we left PDX Portland International I don't remember going through a metal detector although I would have to imagine Portland being the place where DB Cooper hopped on for the flight to Seattle anyway apparently they've eliminated that feature the stairway in the back all of the 727 is possibly coming back I was watching another Channel and apparently the aircraft that simulates weightlessness is the 727 I would have to think that would have to do with the fact that the engine is at the fuselage so it can do that turn that simulates weightlessness or it helps recover from that part of the oscillation apparently it's a lot of fun the first couple of turns but you get real tired having to go through all those G so the astronauts go through hundreds of them I think if you pay for one of those flights you can do it like a dozen times
The money was found by a kid I remember that the money was aged and weathered lonely pieces of it remained . He jumped out into a storm that military planes that were chasing the airliner we're having a hard time keeping the airliner in view. He had no survival equipment it's not even knowing if he had a flashlight he had no gun to fend off animals. His body would have been reconciled by the animals of Forrest. None of the money has it ever turned up in circulation.
Imagine jumping out of a plane with a bag of cash and vanishing without a trace. That’s exactly what *D.B. Cooper* did in 1971, and this film follows the fictionalized chase of his supposed escape, starring Treat Williams as Cooper and Robert Duvall as the ex-Army officer hot on his trail. With an ex-wife helping him, Cooper leads authorities on a cross-country pursuit full of twists, turns, and plenty of close calls! 🏞🚁
Thanks for the movie!
This brings me back to my childhood, but it also reminds me how old I am now.

Rest in peace, Treat.

Wonderful stories 🎉
You should ✍️ a book 📚📚📚📚📚📚
Thanks
Brill!!!!!
There is no record of any of the Cooper cash ever turning up in circulation.
Fantastic movie❤
brilliant film ,thanks . Katherine Harrold WOW .
Back then, as kids, we hoped he survived, and lived... incredible robbery ❤ some bundles of cash was found in creekbed, years later
Yeah his decoy cash Dude definitely got away
@@ashleybanks-wm4cg I think he threw the cash out and then hid somewhere on the plane annd left after it landed.
hope you spent it on crypto 😃
@adrianparker-e9f How did he go.back to get it❓️. Musta been a Hell of a slog 🏞👨🏻🦯🎒🧳
@@adrianparker-e9fnot possible. Planes account for all their passengers. Even then they knew you.
Always a great story and legend ! Thanks

All we need is some bored couch potatoe to tell us whole script . Get a life , Bruno
Nice movie! Thank you❤
Enjoyable movie, worth watching.
Good watch 😊
DB You pulled off the crime of the century. You did not hurt anybody expect stealing the 200k from the airline owner.

Fun,delightful movie 🎬
I wonder if the real DB Cooper, (whoever he was), saw this on TV and thought, "how did they know I did that?"
Thankyou 🎉
Great fun flick. Thanks!✌️

Ahh the good old days.
Grew up in love with Kathryn. Still am
So was James Rockford! lol 😉
Cool, I'm always looking for more movie channels!
24:51 Love da rollicking "backwoods hillbilly-country" music here. :D
I thought he jumped out in the wintertime.
My theory is........he didn't jump ! I think he'd worked out where he could hide on the plane. When it landed, he waited for an opportunity to leave.

Only post 9/11does the world implement lock down procedures
idk if i said this before but DB Cooper rearranged is Bored Cop
Budget 14 mill , box office - 3,7 mill
R g armstrong one of my favorite actors was the mechanic in this movie😊
Good movie

Pretty good movie.
Just ok, at least the location photography was well done. How come Duvall was able to find DB so easily so many times ?😊❤
It is a movie. In real life they knocked on dB's door almost immediately, but he had a good cover story.
Back when people were good
Lots of would be criminals in comment section
Nothing but one long car chase.
After Coopers heist airlines added an airstair latch that prevented airstairs from being deployed during flight.
Great show!😂
How they're able to find each other in that wast land beats me... are they tagged????
Clarence Beeks!
D. B. Cooper got away with $200,000.
This movie did cost $14 million and only made $3.7 million 😲
is the chute a pc mark1 ??

There is absolutely zero mystery about this case. It was the main suspect all along. 3:45
It's strange how in Europe we were better informed than the American public. From day 1 it was reported as US military branch & that he never made it alive.
Wow, you wouldn't like to back up your BS with some facts, would you? No, I thought not.
Ted braden may have been the mysterious dB cooper
Trained parachutist!
Ted Braden was D.B. Cooper

200000 it's like 20000 today a used dodge. All that for a Al Bundy Dodge.
Real american movie!Drama drama drama….

I don't think he jumped. I reckon he knew of a good hiding place on the plane and escaped after it had landed.
Treat Williams looks like so many other actors, though.
I think that at any point in time that there is an 'in' look in the movies.
@@adrianparker-e9f Very rare, if you ask me.
Ever see things to do in Denver when your dead? or Mullholland falls? Treat is very distinctive!
@@popsfursmurf (1) Get your eyes checked. (2) See more movies. (3) Learn to appreciate faces.
Critical Bill 😊@@popsfursmurf
DB Cooper actor looks like Jim Carey with out the pronounced teeth
That's Treat Williams, his most famous role is in "Hair". Died a year ago in a motorbike accident.
Bei mir ab.. uuuur laut in bus 😇😊
Gizmo........10/18/24.......
Well, it's no Falling Down, but Michael Douglas was pretty good in this.
He was great in it 😂😂😂
What a load of shit! Completely inaccurate as far as the aircraft is concerned. The Aft Air Stairs cannot be opened from the cockpit.
I was wondering if he had discovered a good hiding place on the plane and he hid there until it landed and it was safe to leave.
Go watch screwdriver construction documentary
