TOWERING INFERNO
THE MAKING OF A BLOCKBUSTER - Part Two

This shows more of the planning of the sets and some of the stunts -including some hair-raising (or hair-singeing) fire scenes, which
look despite the precautions taken, a bit dicey to say the least.

The main stunt being if you remember the feature) a man bursting into flames after unlocking a door, behind which the fire is blazing. 

Very spectacular. Another interesting little scene shows a helicopter with a camera slung underneath filming the high-angle shots. this reel ends with another trailer for the film.

Joined up with part one this makes a very interesting 2 reeler, which in my opinion is more interesting and entertaining than the actual feature film. Recommended. .
