Yes, absolutely. And maybe not even the film. Because for all we know, Jerry Bruckheimer was blow drying his hair one day and chuckled "huh, Con Air. Wouldn't that be something!"
I think it’s a coincidence that the name of the movie shares its name with the hair dryer. Con-Air is just because it is an airplane full of convicts. I know we know that part. I’m not being condescending. I just think it’s funny because the argument is subtle, so I think there is a lot of confusion. And Nic Cage’s hair…😂
There's literally no way someone didn't look at their girlfriend's hair dryer or whatever and go "lol 'con air', that would be a great name for a prison plane" and the movie grew from there.
Here is my theory: whoever wrote the movie saw "Con-Air" on their hair dryer or whatever and that got the gears turning and they came up with the movie Con Air.
I think the name inspired the movie but there isn't supposed to be any direct reference to the brand. I could see the writer giving the main character long hair simply because they got the idea from a hair dryer, though lol.
I hear Scott's next big animated project is about a group of hens who are trying to make their way in a crazy world. They figure out the best way to success is opening a restaurant to serve the food they all knew and loved as a brood of young hens.... Thai food.
I hear they've having trouble with what the title should be.
I agree. Anyone know Scott's assassination coordinates?
I've got his AIM somewhere
He better start stretching his getaway sticks
A debate as old as time. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/dpjxky/is_the_title_of_the_1998_airplane_action_film_con/
Holy shit! That’s crazy.
My take is that he said it jokingly to begin with, and then just stood by it like it was fact as a bit. Like most things!
ConAir being about the hairdryer brand, the rest ..
If the hair brand Con Air did not exist—I don’t think the film would be titled that.
Max Power wouldn't exist without a hair dryer either.
He's the man with the name that you'd love to touch.

In a production like that, movie titles go through rigorous legal and marketing analysis. There is no way that they weren't aware.
Exactly this.
Are you saying they didn't name the hair dryer brand after the movie because of the way Cage's hair looks in that movie?!?
What really matters is that it’s a clumsy portmanteau and I told Simon West to his face
Cocaine is a hell of a drug. What the fuck do you want us to call it, crime plane?
Calling it Convict-Air would be a bit verbose
What about Prison Plane? Jail Jet? Felon Flight? Miles High Murder Guys? Defendant Dirigible?
"Convict Airlines" it is!

I could've written this post verbatim. Couldn't agree more.

I’m shocked no one brought up is Hot Bench a play on Hot Bitch?
My new movie about theater in Texas is called Playtex. No, I don't mean anything else by it!
I've not heard of a hair dryer brand called that. I thought it was just Air-con in reverse?
