I was wondering about a list of Hollywood movies that feature gyros. Last evening, I ran into another.
The movie, "It Happened One Night," with Clark Gable, includes a landing by a Pitcairn autogyro as a stunt by an alleged "famed aviator" at his intended wedding. The included footage is great shot of a landing on the lawn of a mansion with a close-up of the deplaning, right out of the Pitcairn advertisements of the day (1936). Granted, this is just a cameo, but it is excellent quality.
That makes the list I can recall off the top of my head:
Road Warrior
You Only Live Twice
It Happened One Night
Are there more?
