Hellfighters

Hellfighters is a 1968 American film about a group of oil well firefighters. Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen. Written by [[w:Clair Huffaker|], based loosely on the life of Red Adair. They've got the hottest, meanest jobs on earth! This is the true story of the men who fight oil field infernos around the clock...and the women who go through hell night after night! Dialogue Chance: [referring to the fact that Greg brings a girl to a different fire] What did you use for openers this time, the old headache gag? Why, you poor man, perhaps if I rubbed your neck? Greg: True - every word, true. But it works. Chance: Can't say I blame you. A fellow as ugly as you are probably couldn't get to first base without a fire. Chance: Exactly WHAT did you tell her about Madame Loo? Greg: Only that she's 80 years old, weighs 300 pounds and is one of your oldest friends. Greg: [after being awakened by a kiss from Tish] What are you doing here? Chance: [being awakened by Greg's question] What's Tish doing here? Madelyn: That was my idea. Chance: Somebody wake me up! Chance: [at the Venezuela fire] Did you get your well capped? Greg: Hell no! Chance: Well, we'll finish yours and then come back for this one. After that we'll pay the Army a visit. Greg: I'm for paying the Army a visit right now. Chance: Not with the mood I'm in. They hang you for murder down here.
