You ever seen the episode when cell was smashed krillin into the airplane and cell landed on the wing and shook his finger as if he was saying no. When I first saw that it reminded me of a movie and probably were Akira Toriyama got it from, its call The Twilight Zone the Movie with john lithgrow back in 83. It had the same theme kind of where this dude was on the airplane and he was nerves about being in a plane in a thunderstorm. When he looked out of the window he saw a demon on a cloud. every time he looks out it got closer until it was right at the window starring at him shaking his finger no.

I caught that one too. But did you also know that the character that Lithgow played was originally done on the TV series by William Shatner. And the demon wasn't on a cloud, it was on the wing of the plane tearing apart the engine.

They actually make a reference to that on the show Third Rock From The Sun. Something along the lines of:
Shatner: "And when I was on the plane I saw...something... on the wing!"
Lithgow: "The same thing happened to me!"
It goes on from there, i forgot the rest. It was the first appearance of Shatner as the Big Giant Head.

Indeed, I almost feel special because I have seen every one of those references... but no. Lot's of people have, and it is great, boy I love the Twilight Zone... the movie was ok, but nothing beats the series...

New series or old, Jadau? I tried watching some of the new ones (The one with the chick from American Pie was kinda cool).

I have sadly not seen any of the new, but the old is so classic that I bet I would like it more anyway... I love all of those old movies and sci-fi shows...
