you know how you bite into a chocolate candy and expect a nice caramel or nougat center and instead get a mouthful of date or macadamia nut and the one you hate . hangar 18 be like that . i be a young teen when i saw this but be still on a high from star war . watch this film and i be excite by the spaceship and all the neat gadget and doo dad in the discovered spaceship in that mythical hangar . i be expect something really phenomenal behind the control . the men search the craft come to the pilot section and find . two overweight guy in black leather and bald head with glaze over cat eye sit in leather swivel chair . i can not tell you how huge a letdown that be . especially for a teenager . the rest of the movie be nothing more than the government suppress the information and hunt down the unfortunate men who find the ship and so they would not tell everyone something be out there . i have hold a grudge against sunn international picture ever since . how dare them . tidbit campanella and pankin and who appear in hangar 18 and also star in earthbound and another movie on the same sci fi tangent release a year later by sunn international . they must have owe someone big time . one star . trust no one involve in this movie .
