A huge hats off to Malcolm McDowell. He's actually intensely afraid of flying and yet he got in that helicopter and did all the scenes. He would throw up when they landed, but he gamely did every shot required of him.
I did not know that. He's a brilliant actor, so knowing this when you see his face in some scenes that panic or emotion he has to show is genuine....damn.
I loved this movie! A forgotten blockbuster! It is the last film where I remember someone saying, "I won't tell if you won't tell." It's part of the border between kidhood and adultness for me.
That was my favourite movie when I was a child. 😉All scenes made by original helicopters or RC models. There was no CGI (of course) so the movie seems real for me. The Blue Thunder was a heavily modified Gazelle helicopter. And I think Roy Schneider's role play was perfect.
Blue thunder was on the boards for a remake except rather than using standard helicopter, it was centering around drones but I don't think it ever got past the concept stage . There's plenty of fan fiction around that I've browsed through on occasion that would have done well as a screenplay. Another one of my favorite movie's is An American werewolf in London, there's whispers of that being remade by John Landis son Max , but this and blue thunder are probably those movies that are best made only once and for the love of mythical invisible magical sky man, you don't ruin great movies by making TV series out of it
Soo many movies! All the misses, ricochets & blind-firing (Seagal 😉).. When Rasta-dude unloads the knock-off TEC-9 in The Professional.. Those rounds woulda been lodged all over the bldg!
The tally is 3 helos, one police car, one f16, 2 sidewinders into buildings plus firing 20mm into a building. Murphy better have one hell of a good lawyer
@@RealityTrailersSorry, when exactly was that? Hollywood in particular has been making terrible, silly, nonsensical movies since the first cine cameras appeared. Many weren't even worthy of being called "B movies". For every one decent movie, there have always been dozens of rubbish ones.
Great cinematography by John A. Alonzo, but it was Roy Scheider, Malcolm McDowell, Warren Oates, and Candy Clark who made BLUE THUNDER work and caused it to be a walloping success at the box office.
Horatius at the bridge! I didn't understand that as a kid! He's saying Roy's character is a hero, even sacrificing himself. Horatius held a bridge alone, letting the other defenders rally, and so Rome was saved. Horatius fell holding the bridge.
Horatius was also the subject of the poem quoted by Tom Cruise in Oblivion. "And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his Gods."
I think the voice over at the end (after this clip) said he was dangerously low on fuel when he landed in front of the train. more amazing that Cochrane never ran out of ammo for those 20mm cannons. That stuff is heavy, and I can't imagine that Hughes 500 carries enough for that much sustained firing. Hollywood never runs out . . . unless the script says to 😄

The prototype YAH-64 first flew on 30 September 1975. The U.S. Army selected the YAH-64 over the Bell YAH-63 in 1976, and later approved full production in 1982.

@@patrickkenyon2326 in my mind what hits him its not the 20mm but snaprel/splinters from the plexigas .. a direct 20mm hit would had turned him into red mist
great movie in its time, audiences had never seen anything quite like it and ate it up, I know I did. All these years later it is still great, but by today's standards the aerial chase just seems quaint...no matter
It was funny to see 1980s. The BT chopper seemed "high tech" . Now 2024, drones & UAVs do most of the work. FLIR over time did get a lot better. Dillon Areo M134Ds vastly improved mini guns over the GE line. As known old large VHS 📼 became 💿 which then by 2020s went "online" streaming.
Was that the reason? Because to me, just me, he'll just have to turn it over as evidence to shut down the program that created the chopper. But now I realized that higher-ups will just snatch it to themselves so I see the reason why he destroyed it
I remember when they shot the footage in DTLA for this movie, it made the news, people were wondering what is going on. The vibes of this fighting scenes is lost on the small screen, you seen to see on a giant theater screen to get the full impact.
Great movie, saw it at the theater when it first came out. The Americans actually tossed people out of helicopters during Vietnam war, it was a tatic used in questioning the enemy, although some pilots, like Murphy, didn't agree to it. I would guess that he had quit the military, as soon as he legally could do so, and they tried to file charges against him, which probably happened to a few pilots back then.
Murphy was a Lieutenant. A commssioned officer and was free to resign his commission at any time,at the cost of a career and having to pay back any education money government paid education money he owed. More likely Murphy,after seeing that guy get thrown out of a helicopter. Refused to take part in another incident during another mission,by flying back to base against his Captain's orders. The Captain tried to have Murphy court-martialed. And Murphy, disgusted with the war, resigned his commission and joined the Los Angeles Police Department. The Army, not wanting Murphy to disclose his Captain's murders of suspected VC operatives in military custody with the Army's sanction during court-martial proceedings, allowed Murphy to resign.
I thought the Blue Thunder pilot was hit by bullets on his right side. His window even had blood stains, yet he walks away in the end with no blood and seemingly walks like he wasn''t hit at all.
If this had happened in reality, lots of innocent people would have died in the combat scenes, and lots of other people would have gone to prison for a whole range of crimes. As it's set in the USA, Murphy would probably have run for president even after being found guilty. 😂
Oh no...the Blue Thunder helicopter was hit by a train and destroyed. They probably don't have the blueprints or tech to just build another one. Oh no...
He uncovered their operation and made the tapes public.. so they would be busting and cancelling project THOR and the conspiracy behind it.. so highly unlikelly whoever would be left would get funding to build another prototype .. destroying the helicopter would prevent anyone using it for whatever motive.. Wich is why the movie is totally oposite to the series .... in the series they embrace Blue Thunder as a tool of justice
That's where the tape of the conspiracy comes in. The political and legal fallout of the murder of the councillor and deliberate incitement of violence in urban communities referenced would have made just building another impossible.
I can't remember the logic behind the series (and can't be bothered to look it up🙂) but the serial number on the engine is '02'. Is the series version '01'? Just a guess.
A film of it's time and great fun but very unrealistic. The gazelle helicopter that the Blue Thunder was built over suffered from horrible flight trim issues, according to to pilots who flew it for the film, it was nose heavy and and the canopy ruined the aerodynamics making it difficult to fly straight hence a lot of shots where it's flying off centre.
@@bushcraft.outdoor.adventur4689exactly, it was incredibly nose heavy but they did an absolute fantastic job , I used to play bf4 on the city maps and visualised myself as blue thunder in the city maps 😂
So on Blue Thunder that’s 2 air to air kills for Frank Murphy when he shot down an F-16 Fighting Falcon and the 500 Defender piloted by Colonel Cochran.
i believe Blue Thunder, like most military aircraft, is armoured against rifles and pistols, but anything .50cal and up will do some damage. earlier in the film we see two police helicopters with SWAT officers slinging 5.56mm rounds into the armour and it barely does any damage.
Indeed, 1980's theater movies missed or skipped a few details, and some more than others. I didn't have millions of dollars to make movies back then, so I don't complain about them, blame them or shame them. The fact that many of those movies still capture our imaginations and hearts to this very day is interesting.
Shame as Murphy could have nursed BT to a secret location to hide it and demand a ransom from them to have it back with what they put him through murdering his co pilot Richard.
@@okasathemasterninja5528 Airwolf was a blend of both types of helicopter platforms and actually used an early Bell Helicopter prototype as the airframe. By the time the Glenn Larson acquired it was a flying death trap because it had seen a lot of rough use and hard testing hours plus the modifications (fake weapons) for the TV show made it even worse. Once sold off after the show ended it disintegrated in flight and crashed.
6:28 with such heli and vulcan gun tracing bullets are used to help the pilot aim without an auto tracking system and when doing to 360 loop : the blood on the window is gone ? probably the high G caused it...
Thunder possibly has better sensors but Airwolf can send off multiple missiles from any direction and even could use countermeasures offensively, if the unlikely situation presented itself. It is implied Airwolf has a much greater range and speed is obviously higher. Armor on the sides is probably comparable, but Airwolf had better Armor low. She suffered worst from hits to the side and rear, particularly the tail rotor.
See, I’d thought the final fight would’ve been between blue thunder 02… & it’s prototype blue thunder 01 pulled from the “lab” just for this…. (Think along the lines of K.I.T.T. VS K.A.R.R…. )
I think Murphy planned a last minute escape to make it look to the Government and Police that he had been killed in the explosion when the Train hit Blue Thunder... Possible?
