I was watching a movie the other day which featured a pair of Stampe biplanes. I wondered where the Stampes were today and stumbled across a website caled Internet Movie Plane Database, which listed every airplane ever used in a movie. Of course, I typed in “Bücker Jungmann”.
I was amazed to see the Bücker Jungman was used in over 20 movies. I know there are few more movies with Bückers that didn’t make their list, (Three Amigos, I-88 come to mind) but many were new to me. There is even a section listing Jungmeisters in movies, too.
My favorite “new” movie was No le Bisque tres pies…. a story about a young man who wanted to be a fighter pilot in the Spanish Air Force. If you go to the :24 minute mark, you will see great footage of a Spanish Air Force training squadron filled with CASA Jungmanns. I kept wondering of one of them was mine. Perhaps I own a movie star?
If you search the name of the movie, you can watch the entire thing. 
When I went through the list, there were several recognizable Jungmanns. However, I did not recognize one seen in the movie Bolero:

Does anyone know the identity of the Bucker in the movie? Unfortunately the movie was a box office flop. It starred the popular and beautiful actress Bo Derrick, but critics hated the film, and it was nominated as the worst film of 1984. I have not seen the film, but any film that contained footage of Bückers can’t be all bad, can it?
Notes:
This film was originally 'X' rated but was later dropped to 'R'.
Historian Paco Rivas says the Jungmann in "Bolero" is EC-DAO. It now belongs to the Fundación Infante de Orleáns (Cuatro Vientos, Madrid). It is pwaitingto be restored. It was recorded as ‘2107’ but this has yet to be confirmed.
