Trivia
Simon mentions that the Helicopter pilot, who crashed, "Vinnie is the best pilots in the business. He did the flying in the Green Cloudburst film" He is referring to the movie "Blue Thunder" (1983)

Goofs
The helicopter used for the heist still has the gold onboard when Mr. Hawke destroyed it; it makes no sense to destroy evidence of a crime.

One Way Express

Santini and Hawke fall out as a movie producer called Philip Maurice hire Santini Air to perform a dangerous stunt. Hawke thinks that Santini might not be up to the dangerous task of landing a chopper on a moving train.

Archangel meanwhile has had a previous run in with Maurice which resulted in the death of his assistant. Maurice is more than just a movie producer but a criminal who deals in arms, stolen technology and this movie stunt could just be an elaborate heist. Archangel asks for Hawke's help to bring Maurice in.

I did find the falling out between Santini and Hawke who later come to blows just hard to take. It reminded me of that scene from Get Carter (Michael Caine version.) Santini, you're a big man, but you're in bad shape!

I did like Henry Darrow's turn as the ruthless movie producer Maurice who is prepared to throw is cohort under a truck for some extra bars of gold.
