In this American spoof of the disaster film genre ‘Airplane’, the passengers on board begin to fall ill. The doctor suspects it’s food poisoning but when he checks the patient’s symptoms he pulls an egg from her mouth, then three more, before cracking one to release a bird.

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

If you’re bored of sickly-sweet films this Easter, look no further than these “cracking” movies.

Paul Newman manages his way through 50 hard boiled eggs in the film Cool Hand Luke in a bid to win a bet with his inmates.

In Ghostbusters, Sigourney Weaver’s character watches eggs mysteriously explode from their box in her kitchen- a sure sign of something eggstraordinary.

Then there are the moments of eggstacy. For example, in Japanese comedy Tampopo when the two leads kiss by passing a yolk between their mouths, or in Hot Shots! when Charlie Sheen cracks an egg onto his love interest’s stomach and watches it fry.
