Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1981 New Zealand action thriller directed by David Hemmings.Barney (Ken Wahl) and his alcoholic partner Gilbert (Donald Pleasence) are helicopter pilots in New Zealand, netting deer from their decrepit Mixmaster. After Gilbert is accidentally hoisted up instead of a deer and dumped into a lake, he stumbles across the wreckage of the Yankee Zephyr, a crashed DC-3 from the Second World War.Gilbert retrieves some of its cargo of medals (along with a crate of whiskey) and is impressed when an antiques dealer pays him $75 each for them. Convinced he's onto a good thing, Gilbert talks his daughter Sally into financing the necessary repairs to their helicopter so he and Barney can salvage the rest of the medals. But things get complicated when a gang of well-dressed, well-armed and well-equipped hoods, led by the urbane Mr. Brown (George Peppard) arrive on the scene, sparking a dramatic race via air, land and water for the real prize of Yankee Zephyr — the payroll of the US South Pacific fleet, $50 million in gold bullion.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Bathtub Bonding: Although they're not in the same tub, Sally does lighten up a bit after Barney shows her the bathtub built into the floor of the survival hut, and makes a hot bath for her. | |

Bar Brawl: Gilbert demolishes a pub while fighting with Barney, including slicing the front door in half with a chainsaw. One cliche is averted when the patrons cheer them on instead of joining in. | |

All That Glitters | |

All That Glitters: Inverted — the treasure is actually far more valuable than the protagonists imagine, but they don't discover this until the end of the movie. Also inverted earlier, when Barney points out the medals are worth more than Gilbert sold them for because there's gold in them. | |
