#RoyScheider #BlueThunder #DanielStern
Greatest helicopter movie ever made, no contest. Just so happens to star Roy Scheider, Malcolm McDowell and Daniel Stern. I love this movie.
yeah
Have you seen the RC Heli Channel version? Incredible.
@@Dirtdevil1 I have. It's awesome alright.
No argument there. I full concur!
@@Dirtdevil1Very impressive model.
Absolutely incredible cinematography that pushed the technology available in the early 80s to the absolute limit.
Indeed! To bad they couldn't film something like this today. Certainly not practical effects.
@@DocMicrowave Because this age has neither smell nor taste.. everything is artificial and there is nothing original! You can't copy the spirit of the 80s in this miserable age! That spirit and that time can never be experienced or repeated again! Then we were advanced.. we were full of hope and positive energy and now.. in the last 20 years and more we just watch how life passes us by and how bad energy kills us!
@@vladimirzdravkovic6 Quite agree. At least we have the memories.
1983 was a great year - "Blue Thunder" was released, as was "WarGames" and the Commodore 64! :) This movie had it all when I was 13. Hook it up to your surround sound today and be exhilarated by it! They don't make movies like this anymore - and it was made without CGI!
Great year indeed. Speaking of "War Games", John Badham not only directed this film but that one too.
1983? Hey! You don’t forget Scarface!
I knew Blue Thunder the Series as a kid.When I was 7.
But I Saw the Movie in 2020.
Great Action Movie.
Don't even mention CGI. I am so lucky growing up in the eighties as a kid.
Ten years previous was a helicopter chase movie that had absolutely breathtaking aerial action including a 500 vs an Aerospaciale inside a hangar.
If you can find it, it's a TV movie called Birds of Prey, starring David Jannsen of The Fugitive fame.
They managed to put some extra stupid stuff in it, but it still has a dynamic story and a Vanishing Point type of climactic scene. I tend to think Blue Thunder was at least partly a nod to Birds of Prey.
“Aight chaps, why don’t ya follow my leader?” What a badass line.
Not as badass as "Okay, amigo, how is your auto rotation technique"
Love Blue Thunder!, still one of my favorite films of all time!
My helicopter favoreti:)kkkkkkkkkkkkk
@@queroumpretoferreira2187 indeed!Firebirds doesnt even come close!nowadays its all cgi cum fest!these crazy mofos did it for real!
Awww I remember watching this movie in theaters when I was just a little kid n it was my favorite ... I was watching apache helicopter videos n this came to mind typed it in baaammm it's here .... Gonna rent the video now... It's cool still my favorite movie ...
Same. Totally underrated!

They don't make movies like this anymore. I have always loved the low-flying scenes...especially in-cockpit camera action. The blu ray remaster has amazing sound, a must have for any 80's movie collector!
*40 YEARS AGO..... WHO'S STILL WATCHING??????*
I am!
みてるよ！
Love it. Have it on DVD BluRay
Me! 2024 here🙋🏻♂️

1983 was such a great Year
1. Def Leppard released Pyromania with their top song Photograph
2. Blue Thunder was released, a movie with no CGI, all reality.
3. Bon Jovi debuted becoming one the best Rock Bands ever.
It's remarkable how they managed to shoot it all with either real helicopters or, in some shots, large scale remote control models. The action scenes are astonishing really. Today it would all be done with CGI and not look nearly as good.
No offense, but one of the best rocks bands ever is a stretch.
Rest in peace Roy
Ever since I watched this I wanted to get my helicopter privates license
That's one freaking cool helicopter, and I love Airwolf too, making it just impossible to choose.
A teaming up between Blue Thunder, Airwolf, Knight Rider and Street Hawk would've been amazing
I have a fantasy lineup for an MCU-style connected universe of TV series. Start with Airwolf, then in season two they need ground support so they create the Knight Rider. Season 3 they need more muscle and recruit the A-Team, and the A-Team steal a prototype motorcycle drone called Street Hawk.
The trailer would be KITT driving across the desert, then the A-Team van swings into convoy behind it. Street Hawk goes out in front, and we watch from in front as the line of vehicles bears down on us and Airwolf rises up from behind the others.
Can I get a füc yeah, that's the ultimate 80s stealth weapons force.. Those were my favorite shows.....
Street Hawk FTW! It never got enough love
@@Werrf1 Oh, man! That is one of the most awesome team up! We need to make it happen!
Gotta love 80s movies and TV!
underated movie, still remains good soundtrack which they could not deliver.
They can suppress the film, but I still remember the Soundtrack
John Badham is a badass and god bless Roy Scheider.
Back in the day I was a kid growing up in 80's and was a fan of the movie and after the TV show Air wolf
Same here. Blue Thunder was an awesome movie.
AirWolf was must watch TV for me. I loved that show. All 3 seasons of it. (That is not a typo!)
My fovourite film when I was a kid. Thanks
I miss the 80's really bad. This movie brings back a lot of different memories. At the time of filming this movie in Los Angeles, gang activity was really bad. A lot of cholas bused into my LAUSD schools from South Los Angeles and East LA magnetized me. No other women had their beauty. Smog was bad too. Several other great movies from within a year of this movie came out, Terminator and Night of the Comet. Buses were RTD. During this same time period and only five minute flight away by helicopter from where the filming of this movie was taking place, the birth of a hard rock band was slowly taking place that I would never have been interested in at the time as a ten year old. About four years after this movie, a band was starting to make noise on MTV and in the hallways of my junior high school called "Guns N' Roses." If you told me in 1987 that I was going to fall in love with this band for the next thirty plus years, I would not have believed you. Ok, now I miss the 80's really effin bad. Thank you for posting this segment.
Awesome flying! And to think that the Blue Thunder was built only for this movie, which later on was used on the TV series.
This movie had some realistic badass scenes...
Somebody should bring this kind of show. No CGI, just actual helicopter stunts, only use RC Model for helicopter destruction scene.
Very doubtful nowadays especially after the Twilight Zone incident
i must have seen that movie somewhere between 10 and 20 times, still like it
Love that movie with all my heart!!!
OK story but incredible areal shots and stunts. And Blue Thunder is bad ass-looking ! No fake CGI (see recent Midway).
This brings back battlefield 3 memories
What a great scenens, awesome flying!
Probably the best Spanglish conversation in an 80s action movie!!!!
To get another helicopter chase like this nowadays would be epic....Great scene! YES you MUSt get that Blu Ray!!!
This and Firefox were playing as a double feature one year at a drive-in. It was hilarious because on two screens over a porn movie was playing. LOL
One of my favorite scenes
Happy heavenly birthday Roy
And I'm a huge fan of both helicopters
Ever seen Avatar?
@@samanli-tw3id no I haven't let
Who would win:
2 virgin police choppers
Or
1 chad blue thunder
Man with m16 verses an armoured helicopter armed with a multi barrel cannon, yeh thats going to end well!
😊A movie from my childhood.
No CGI in this and real flying around down town. Incredible pilots, where they ex US services?
These dudes must have been Chopper pilots in Nam, this is the exact low flying they did
Practical analog effects are just the best.
Great film, 80's style.
私53歳の親父！中学生の時この映画を見て感動した！だから今でもフランクマーフィー！（ロイシャイダーさん）の真似してリストバンドの上から腕時計をしてます！
Still love this 37 yrs on
They don’t do movies these days with such helicopter stunts.
Blame the Twilight Zone movie incident
Indeed. It would be all CGI now, looking like a video game.
I don't care what anyone says. Without Blue Thunder, there wouldn't be no Airwolf.
Far to say. Blue Thunder helped start the super vehicle genre.
Very good film /Multi culti/, pozdraw, hejka
Blue thunder’s son, Apache is real proud of his old man.
Apache Helicopter in early stages America was making this beast even forty years ago
I would like to see on TV like it back in when I was a kid in 1983 when the movie was out
Before Airwolf there was BLUE THUNDER
It's a damn good thing they weren't feeling grease or the Terminator at the same time as this particular shot about 2/3 through this one out of time.
My mother was working in downtown LA back in 1984 when they were filming the movie all over downtown with the helicopters and I might have said she saw that one day when she came home got off the work she saw the helicopter flying around over downtown it didn't look like regular news helicopters
It was filmed in June 1981
I saw this movie as a kid before they came up with a TV show airwolf in the 1984 on a huge fan of both blue thunder and airwolf
I always wanted to see a fight between Blue Thunder VS Airwolf.
This is cool back in the day
Still cool now. They don't/can't make action movies like this anymore without a whole lot of CGI.
This was fun to watch. But all I can think about is the people below dodging all those bullets as the fell over the city.
It's Los Angeles they're used to dodging bullets on a daily basis regardless
I saw this movie when it came out in 1984 just before the TV show airwolf came out I'm a huge fan of both blue thunder and airwolf
This is the only one movie which used the real choppers for the chopper chase scene
Terminator 2 as well
Ten years before was the TV movie that proved some incredible helicopter stunt work was possible. Birds of Prey, not the Nicolas Cage flick.
They use that viaduct in every movie from Grease to T2!
Nobody messes with THOR...
I really think in that moment right before they opened fire on Blue Thunder, Murphy was going to try to convince them to help expose Blue Thunder’s true purpose.
This is back in day before air wolf in 1984 when I was a kid
Me too and this year is the 40 anniversary of air wolf too
Even after 20 years, the loss of sound before the ad here is quite well known.
blue thunder.... for the times when an apache just won't do.
I am a big fan of the movie before TV show airwolf came out in 84
Just like what i always said when i was a teen - Airwolf will kick Blue Thunder's a$$.
The book was supposed to be even better. Still hard to believe they would try to shoot down a chopper over downtown LA like that, and then keep shooting even at street level. Even so, great movie
I know😂 It would have to crash land on top of somebody or something
I wood like that to see back on TV on abc 7 in Los Angeles
Ah Thunder Blade, I didn't know the game was based off of this movie
I would like to get this movie on DVD if it's out there
I have the regular DVD version, the "Special edition" which gives commentary, and the blu-ray. So it's out there
One year later the TV show airwolf came out on CBS after Blue thunder was in the theaters
Фильм детства!
Надо обязательно пересмотреть...!)))
Movie came out one year before airwolf the TV show came on on CBS channel 2 here in Los Angeles California
I was a kid back in 1984 when this movie came out before about the same time airwolf came out on the huge fan of blue thunder and airwolf I'm hoping to get the movie blue thunder back on DVD so I can watch it I had a DVD of season 1 of Airwolf
Music out that best airwolf
Unbeknownst to them, a few years later, the T-1000 Terminator would chase a T-800 Terminator and John Conner down the same reservoir. 😁
Two bells? THAT'S just ding dong
Great grand father of aphace helicopter
I was able kid when the movie came out like the 1983 one year before airwolf came out
Super Thunder Blade!!
The obvious uselessness (and recklessness) of an urban police helicopter with a giant Gatling gun is just too funny to contemplate
Well I don’t think it was supposed to be used for normal patrolling. It was meant as an anti-terrorist platform for big events like the ‘84 Olympics. But, even so, it would be a hard sell in this day & age.
@@coolcat6303 Yep I’ve seen the movie and I understand that it was meant as an “anti-terrorist” platform. But my point still stands: how on earth do you fight “terrorism” with a giant Gatling gun mounted on an attack helicopter? When you think of terrorism, you think of random acts of violence like setting off a bomb somewhere, or taking people hostage like in the 1972 Olympics. A giant gun is not much use in those scenarios
@@tommym321 I mean the whole movie is intended as a critique of the militarization of police--I think they made it excessive so that there was no ambiguity.
Yeah I know. The plot of the movie was that government officials were going to intentionally start a riot in the ghetto part of L.A so they can use Blue Thunder to squelch it thus proving its usefulness. But that makes you wonder, did they expect the pilot to mercilessly gun down rioters with that cannon in cold blood? And people would be okay with that? Straight up slaughter? And statistically speaking the majority of them black people? Yeeeeah.... I can't see that working well on any level 😅
That was fucking awesome!!!!! I hate saying this but I can't see any film maker today saying I want two choppers to go hell for leather down this storm drain, under bridges etc and not hold back..... properly go for it.
Nowadays...cgi. Cheaper in many ways but for the viewer... dogshit. The Models of the Falcon compared to the cgi version are amazing by comparison....
I'm going to watch this again
Joe santos from rockford.
Music 3:08 - 3:10 sounds menacing like "Jaws", oh i forgot Roy Scheider(Chief Brody) is flying helicopters now.
E нас тоже есть похожий фильм: "Черная акула" или "Black shark". О боевом вертолете. Замечательная военная техника.
The film that inspired Thunder Blade
Are they the same flood control channels where they filmed terminator bike chase?
Proberly and also in grease
@@FenderBender2 And the shuttle landing in The Core
This is was back in the day In LA back in 1983 before air wolf
The best
いいねぇ。😊
That was one bad helo
Just like the bad guys in a Superman episode they keep shooting and shooting at something that's clearly bulletproof and wasting ammo😅
This was back in the day before air wolf
So blue thunder is so mean looking.
Was this filmed the same place as the car race from Grease?
Try film this scenes in today's LA. You can't.
Ha, ha, ha. Like a ant trying beat a Scorpion.
Can someone tell me what part of one-inch armor was not considered when sending guys with non-armor-piercing bullets after him?
This is what is called a warning film about the militarzation of the police in 80s and now look.
Как называется модель вертолета?
Engineers that had built Apache Helictoper all watched a 1983 Movie called Blue Thunder then they build the real one and called it Apache in 1986.
Blue thunder or Airwolf.. who wins?
Gerald Tarrant thanks for the response. Always wondered what other people thought lol

AIRWOLF based on stats.
@@eurytonbuzz7157 thank you. Now I can die a happy man!
Supercar. Mike mercury had it all
Blue Thunder had trouble defeating one up-gunned Hughes 500. Airwolf effortlessly took out one or more Hughes 500 almost every episode. (The episodes where it didn't were the ones where it was taking out MiGs instead).
Old downtown LA 40.years ahe
That area of the tag chase is in GTA 5. Ive offen drove down there im my attempt to shake of the cops 😎
Hope the police filled out a risk assessment before this or there will be hell to pay
