industrialist, Howard Hughes
Just won't stop pouring money
at his war epic,
And we mean epic, 137 pilots,
87 airplanes,
35 cameramen, 2,000 extras.
How long would it be before this
picture cost as much as the real war?
Why the hell they look so slow?
This isn't what it's like up there.
They look like a bunch
of god damn models.
Son of a bitch.
Howard.
Something standing
still behind the planes.
We got no idea how fast we're moving.
We got no sense of relative motion.
Call the UCLA. Get me the best
they got.
You get him here in an hour,
all right?
You want the good news
or the bad news?
Bad news.
We installed the 450 radio.
lt won't take the vibration.
- What's the good news?
- There isn't any.
God damn it. The 450 is too big.
We gotta figure something else.
We've done everything.
We rebuilt it from top to toe.
For a couple of run, she
might make a 180 miles per hour.
l want minimum 200, all right?
We need to get rid of this
The top falls off.
What?
Who says we need the top wing?
Who says we need anything?
Put in a 515 engine.
We got the fastest plane
we ever built.
You know l just gotta say, we already
spent $200,000 building this plane.
Giant breast full of milk.
l want clouds, damn it.
Yes, clouds. They look like
giant breast full of milk.
Cannot exactly be guaranteed
for any particular occasion.
So, you might have to wait.
Whatever they pay you at UCLA,
l'm doubling it. Work for me,
find come clouds.
Find some clouds.
Welcome to Angels.
lt has been 8 months.
Where are my god damn clouds?
Clouds move, that's what they do.
They moves.
See, that cost me $5,271,8 days
to keep those planes on the ground.
You find me some god damn clouds.
Very funny.
l got a call from Houston.
He get real nervous about all this.
Stop showing them
the damn bills, Noah.
That will be illegal, Howard.
Maybe it's a little bit naughty.
Huse 2 is incorporated in Texas,
they've to see the bills.
We call it Huse aircraft.
- Do we need this?
- Yeah
Do something about that, okay?
- Wind resistance?
- Yeah, l want her slippery.
There are serious tax consequences
to incorporate at California.
Just take care of it, will you?
We have clouds.
- You mean it this time?
- Yes.
God damn it, yes.
l can promise you clouds in Oakland.
After 2 years, Hell's Angels
have finally finished filming.
You have to admit it, honestly,
Do you ever think you'll
actually finished the damn thing?
Come with me.
This is what the people want.
Sound pictures are yesterday news.
We got to re-shoot
Hell's Angels for sound.
How much of it?
All of it.
Before you even ask, l'll tell you
additional 1.7 million, we got that much
- No.
- We'll make it.
Take care of that, would you?
...day after day, month after month,
Howard Hughes has now added in
some 25 miles per film.
l say release it now. Give the world
it's first 560 hour movie.
Enough is enough, Mr Hughes.
Are you ever gonna let us actually
see this little epic of yours?
Who is it?
Come on in.
l phone Houston for 3 solid hours
for fixing every god damn we have.
Run rail 10 again. And tell Jimmy
l want 10 chocolate chip cookies.
Medium chips,
none too close to the outside.
- Do you remember that god damn
shop from Rail 10? - No.
l don't remember anything from
Rail 10. l don't know what Rail 10 is.
l am a businessman, Howard
and so were you.
Look, this has been a great ride.
We've a hell a lot of fun.
But youre losing $25, 000
a day doing this.
Every day.
So, what are my options?
All this time,
l don't know that you have any.
l am afraid you have to close it down.
Dig your way out.
l am sorry, Howard. l truly am.
Rail 10, Mr Hughes.
You heard me.
- lf you do that, you could
lose everything - l won't.
l won't.
l will get into it.
There is at least 45, 000 cars here
making it the greatest traffic jam
6 months after the
stock market crashes,
After the death of 3 of his pilots,
Nothing like tonight has
ever
