January 31, 2011China's State Broadcasters Use Top Gun Footage
We pause from Egypt-blogging to bring you this important news:
China's state broadcaster used footage that appears to have been taken from a Hollywood film in one of its news reports - but not for the first time.A China Central Television story about the country's air force showed an explosion that was identical to a scene from the 1986 film Top Gun.
The broadcaster often uses film clips in its news reports.
A person familiar with the company said it was currently trying to set up a system to contain this situation.
Look for the explosion at 1:11.
