I genuinely can't think of a worse movie to try and watch on an airplane.
I believe (though I'm not an expert on the system) that it separates during the second stage when it's no longer needed.
That's the Launch Escape System (LES). It's a rocket motor that can activate to separate the crew capsule from the rest of the rocket in the event of a bad launch.
You saw it in Die Hard.
Hardbodies (1984)
These are the old sculpts of the metal Catachans. A lot of them would have been in the Catachan infantry box. The special weapons and leader would have come in blister packs. I put them together here as a skirmish force.

I consider this part of a genre of cynically made movies that rely on a great poster and catchy premise to get butts in seats, and then the movie itself is just sort of slapped together. It's what I imagine has dudebros telling eachother is "Dude this movie is soooo crazy."
