Awesome clip, thanks for sharing it!
I remember that James Michener DC-8 preflight where you rang every bell and tested every light. And ran the trim to the limits each time.
I was a little surprised that engine anti-ice was left off on the after start checklist.
The plane in the film appears to be CF-TJJ, a DC-8-43 powered by Rolls Conways. It was later scrapped, possibly in the 1980's, as N8021V.
