There is a famous scene in the movie "Flight of the Phoenix" where they
use
those cartridges.

Very different cartridges, size-wise, anyhow. The ones used in the movie
were ~ the size of a shotgun shell. The ones used to start a jet engine are
about the diameter of a gallon of ice cream and 1/2 again as tall.
