Still a good movie.......2007-01-11

Still a great movie after all these years, and the commentary is priceless. Highly recommend.

Above average action movie.......2007-01-10

If you take 1983's "Blue Thunder" for what it is, an action flick and nothing more, you should enjoy it. The movie is very unbelievable, but what action movie isn't? It's no chick flick-definately a guy flick.

Los Angeles police helicopter pilot Frank Murphy (Roy Scheider) steals a hi-tech prototype helicopter (Blue Thunder) which is, among its many features, armed with a 20 millimeter, 6 barrel rotating cannon machine gun, one-inch thick metal shell, and turbine boosted, making Blue Thunder a formidable foe to anything else in the air, including jet fighters. Of course, the story is much more detailed, but Murphy basically steals the copter to prevent it from being used for sinister purposes by corrupt government agents, which include Colonel Cochrane (Malcolm McDowell). All this leads to a dogfight over LA. SOME SPOILERS AHEAD: Police helicopters carrying swat teams prove no match for Blue Thunder. Then, two F-16s are called in to knock down Blue Thunder with heat-seeking missles, but are unable to hit the fiesty egg beater. It was like trying to swat a fly with a jackhammer. Finally, Cochrane takes off in an army helicopter gunship for the final showdown with Blue Thunder.

I was always a fan of this movie ever since they first started showing it on cable back in the 80s. The computer graphics and some of the sound effects are dated now, but the rest of the film still holds up well. Although Airwolf seems to be more popular, I've always thought Blue Thunder was a cooler-looking copter. Airwolf looked too streamlined and conventional. Blue Thunder's more awkward appearance gave it a more menacing look than Airwolf.

The scenes that caused "Blue Thunder" to get an R-rating really weren't neccessary to include in the movie. Those events could've happened off screen, and been alluded to, giving the film the rating it should've gotten, a PG or PG-13.

But I would definately recommend this DVD to any action fan.

THE ULTIMATE "KILLING MACHINE" .......2006-12-17

If you're a "Blue Thunder" fan then this dvd is the only version for you.This special edition version is presented in it's 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio and remastered in high definition.The picture transfer and digital 5.1 sound are truly outstanding.The 5.1 sound breathes new life into this 1983 action classic and you get to hear Blue Thunder really roar.The movie stars Roy Scheider as the Blue Thunder pilot,Daniel Stern as his partner and Malcolm McDowell as the bad guy.The dvd contains bonus features such as commentary,theatrical trailer, storyboard galleries and making of featurettes.After comparing both dvd versions,in my opinion this one was the best.

Happy entertainment for a weekend ! .......2006-07-13

The always present dichotomy between the bad guy who defies the rules and threatens to alter the establishment, and the good guy who lives according to preserve the civilized employment about the military weapons is the central focus of this entertained movie with great special effects on LA. skies.

At the historic moment it was released the emotional shock was electrifying, because of the mesmerizing characterization of Malcom Mac Dowell (Clockwise orange) as the embodiment of the evilness has always been of first-rate. On the side of the good guy we may watch to Rob Scheider widely known around the world by the famous movie "Jaws."

lame action movie,but cool helicopter.......2006-06-29

at no time does this movie ever reach the point of being beliveable and even for an action movie at some point it has to do that! the helicopter is very cool,but do they really think that if it was going to be used to keep everyday people in line they would test it out in the open like this much less let a pilot that is known as aloose cannon be the one to test it?
the other problem is that they go out of their way to keep the movie lite and then add a very sick murder in for spice i guess. skip it!!!!!!!!!!!!

A short lived series on DVD!.......2006-09-25

It's nice to see Blue Thunder, the TV series, released on DVD, in spite of the fact it lasted only one season. It was one of the great action-packed shows to come out of the 1980s. You had James Farentino who piloted Blue Thunder. A very young Dana Carvey, who was the co-pilot, who was always referred to as "JAFO" (Just Another Frustrated Observator.) You also has Dick Butkus & Bubba Smith, two ex-football players, who appeared in the series as well. I like other reviewers here would love to have Street Hawk, another short lived series, come out on DVD as well.

Good 80's Tv Classic Show.......2006-09-17

At last on Dvd.I remembered this show from my early days.I loved as A Team and Knight Rider were broadcasted these days.Only 11 eps were made after its cancellation due to similar series Airwolf in the rival CBS.Based on the 1983 movie of the same title it features an advanced chopper capable of doing 360º loops,whisper silent mode record audio and video,turbo thurst and fires 6,000 rounds per minute in her gatling cannon.Of course is armor plated and bullets ricochets when fired to it.

The Dvd is Ok with good audio and video quality however no special features are included nor cast or series info.

Hope Street Hawk that also was premature cancelled arrives soon on Dvd.

Quality Purchase for Series Fans.......2006-08-30

As a child I loved this show and I always kept a warm place for it in my heart. This show is action packed, each show with shootouts and explosions, not to mention the wonderful aerobatics. The remastering in superb, as it vividly brings out the blue tint in Dana Carvey's eyes and even shows the forehead lines on most of the actors. Colors are well-defined and there is a strong contrast and warm lights. However, when movie stock footage is used, it looks grainy compared to the series footage. Numerous footage is reused during this series, but it's expected with the budget for aviation shots. Explosion from time to time are corny cut outs, or just plain cheap, but the remastering makes some footage quite vivid. Writing could be better, but there is a generous amount of action that exceeds Airworf. If you're not a fan then rent it, but this is a must own for fans of this series.

From Out Of The Blue, Thunder Arrives On DVD! .......2006-07-11

Based on the 1983 movie, ABC's "Blue Thunder" focused on the Blue Thunder Unit, a Los Angeles police unit which operated a high-tech helicopter (actually a modified French-made Aérospatiale Gazelle) with ground support. A few of its features included an electric cannon, night sensors, turbo-speed and a "whisper mode" that allowed it to run silently.

The series starred James Farentino (Police Story) as pilot Frank Chaney; Dana Carvey (Saturday Night Live) as his observer Clinton "JAFO" Wonderlove; Sandy McPeak as Cpt. Ed Braddock, the unit commander; Ann Cooper as Officer J.J. Douglas; and ex-NFL jocks Dick Butkus (Any Given Sunday) & Bubba Smith (Police Academy) as Officers Richard "Ski" Butowski & Lyman "Bubba" Kelsey, the ground support team.

ABC first launched Blue Thunder for a midseason run on January 6, 1984. Unfortunately, CBS's slightly more sophisticated helicopter drama "Airwolf" (which debuted 2 weeks later) from creator Donald P. Bellisario (Quantum Leap, JAG) countermanded Blue Thunder's intended run, thereby facilitating its cancellation after just 11 episodes.

While Airwolf was the more successful series with its grim and moody tone, Blue Thunder was just as watchable for its A-Team, Hunter-like tone: standard 80s blend of action and tongue-in-cheek humor. Regardless, the real star [in both shows] was, of course, the helicopter. Not to mention the catchy opening theme music. Again, in both shows.

Blue Thunder - The Complete Series is a 3-disc (529 min.) set featuring all 11 episodes from the 1983-1984 season. Special Features include: Digitally Remastered English Audio and High Definition Full Frame (1.33:1) Video, Bonus Previews, Closed Captioning.

"Suspense in a void" is how critic Pauline Kael described this action-packed hit from 1983. In other words, this is one of those flashy, superbly crafted high-tech thrillers in which the star is a machine, while intelligent plotting and human characters are a lesser priority. The machine in question is Blue Thunder--a heavily armored prototype helicopter that is secretly being tested for use in a devious government conspiracy. Roy Scheider plays the police pilot who catches on to the nefarious plot and takes to the skies against an evil army colonel (Malcolm McDowell) who will defend his coconspirators at any cost. Director John Badham was a hot property in the early '80s (he directed WarGames the same year), and Blue Thunder served as the popular model for many formulaic action thrillers to follow. That doesn't make it a great movie, but with a fine cast (including Daniel Stern in a memorable supporting role) and a dazzling aerial chase among big-city skyscrapers, Blue Thunder qualifies as slick entertainment. --Jeff Shannon

Thrilling Adventure, But I Didn't Like It's Attitude.......2007-01-19

I found it fitting that "Firefox" is recommended to accompany this film. But there are differences. An equally fitting choice to go along with this would be "War Games", which came out the same year and shared John Badham as the director. What this and "War Games" have in common and don't have in common with "Firefox" or this reviewer is a distrust of our government.

There are other things I didn't like about "Blue Thunder". It had unnecessary R-rated language. It had some sensuality that may entertain some, but it did not help me relate to or root for the characters.

I will say that it did include Roy Sheider, who has always been one of my favorite actors. Additionally, it introduced me to Daniel Stern, who I liked better in the "Home Alone" movies. Furthermore, it was an exciting thriller, with good (though sometimes improbable) action.

I'll close by commenting that it may be Badham saw or read "Firefox", and liked the concept of a super flying machine, but not liking the Russians being the bad guys, and remade the story to be more sleazy and to make the U.S. the villains. Too bad.

Buyer Beware.......2006-01-21

It seems that the Region 1 DVD release of "Blue Thunder" which has been available for some time includes only a "pan & scan" movie presentation. For those waiting for a Region 1 "widescreen" movie presentation, a "Widescreen Special Edition" release has been announced for April 4, 2006.

"Well Colonel, one of your missiles just took out a barbecue shack down in Little Tokyo.".......2005-11-11

There seems to be some differing opinions with regards to the picture presentation on this DVD release of the movie Blue Thunder (1983). I just bought the Region One DVD, and it only has the fullscreen format (1:33:1), and is a singled-sided disc. Perhaps some reviewers purchased the foreign market DVD release, which apparently has both the widescreen and fullscreen formats. Now I have heard rumors that Sony is planning a Special Edition release of this film in the future, but then again, I hear a lot of things, and only about half are true...co-written by Don Jakoby (The Philadelphia Experiment), Dan O'Bannon (Alien), and Dean Riesner (Das Boot), and directed by John Badham (Saturday Night Fever, WarGames), the film stars Roy Scheider (Jaws, Sorcerer), Warren `Quaker' Oates (Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, Stripes), Daniel `no relation to Howard' Stern (Home Alone, City Slickers), and Candy Clark (American Graffiti, Amityville 3-D). Also appearing is Paul Roebling (The End of August), David Sheiner (The Gong Show Movie), Joe Santos ("The Rockford Files"), and perennial screen villain Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Time After Time).

Scheider plays Officer Frank Murphy, an ex-Vietnam helicopter pilot, prone to flashbacks, who now works for the Astro Division for the LAPD, assisting ground units from the sky to keep the mean streets of L.A. safe for us civilians. As the film begins, Murphy's saddled with a new partner, Officer Richard Lymangood (Stern), a goofus type, and the two proceed to show us the value of air support in law enforcement as they assist in catching a few violent punks, when they're not peeping at a nekkid contortionist. During their watch, a local politician, a mayoral appointee to the commission on urban violence, is assaulted. The attack is written off as a random act of violence, but Murphy's not convinced. After Murphy and his partner are grounded for some aerial shenanigans, their flight status is re-instated so they may participate in a gooberment program testing a prototype helicopter, one which features plenty of after-market modifications like thick armor, a forward mounted 20-millimeter electric cannon capable of firing 4,000 rounds per minute (hoo-ya), infrared night/heat vision capabilities, sophisticated eavesdropping equipment, turbine booster, whisper mode operation, and more. Turns out an old war acquaintance of Murphy's is also involved in the program, that of Colonel Cochrane (McDowell), and the two don't get along (Cochrane's played up as an uppity a-hole). During a test flight, Murphy and Lymangood accidentally on purpose catch wind of the true nature of the project (if it's tied to the gooberment, you know it must be evil), and the link to the now deceased politician, using the state-of-the-art surveillance equipment on the Blue Thunder, and have now become liabilities as those parties responsible will do whatever it takes to keep their plans secret, including murder...

The story might be predictable and even thin in a few places, but I thought the film, overall, was a lot of fun, and the pacing pretty tight. One thing the movie features a lot of are spectacular aerial shots of helicopters in action, highlighted by some excellent musical scoring, which made me long for the widescreen format to really experience the full on excitement of these sequences. The actual helicopter did look a bit awkward, especially when compared to the much slicker, shinier one featured in the "Airwolf" television series, released a year later, but it was still pretty cool. As far as the characters, they seemed secondary to the whirly bird, but then that's usually the case in movies or television shows like this featuring a high tech whizzbang (how many people watched "Knight Rider" for David Hasselhoff's stellar performances?)...I thought Scheider, along with most of the others, did well enough, the real standout for me being Oates, as Captain Jack Braddock, Murphy's gruff, no nonsense superior. I've always dug on the Oates, and he fit his role here perfectly. It's a character I've seen countless times in other films, that of the supervisor stuck between a maverick type subordinate and his uptight, establishment superiors, complete with scene involving Oates' character stating how his behind has been chewed off for his subordinate's antics, but Oates seems to pull it off better than most. And then there's Stern's character of Lymangood...seemed his only point in the film was to provide a plot device, which he did, before his departure. As far as McDowell, he plays the villain role well, due to the fact he's played it so many times, but he seemed just a bit too smarmy here for my tastes. A toned down, less obvious characterization would have come across a little better, in my opinion. I did like the aspect of the story that involved the initially unintentional use of the Blue Thunder against those who sanctioned the program, the irony of using the sophisticated machine against those who developed it, in terms of exposing their surreptitious (and evil) plans, but I thought it odd the gooberment, fully understanding the capabilities of the aircraft, not having some sort of built in safeguard in case it should fall into the wrong hands. How hard would it have been to install a secretive, remote detonation device within the machine? Not very, but then we probably wouldn't have had much of a film. I suppose I could go on and on being all nit picky and such, but, as I said before, I really liked this film, but I thought it was relatively well put together, despite the preponderance of clichés. This is more or less an action film, and works the way it's supposed to...the best scenes are loaded up on the back end of the film, as Murphy, hunted by the authorities (after the gooberment spooks purposely attribute some of their underhanded activities to a now renegade Murphy), steals Blue Thunder and has to face off against two F-16 fighter jets. Seems like an uneven match, but keep in mind, a helicopter is a lot more versatile in a cityscape environment than jet aircraft, and Murphy, being the experienced pilot he is, uses this to his advantage.

As I mentioned earlier, my DVD is single-sided, and features only the fullscreen format, which looked decent but could have been better (I did notice a little dust on the print in a few scenes, but overall, the picture was relatively clean). The Dolby Digital 2.0 audio came through well enough. Extra features for this release are sparse, including an original theatrical trailer and some material on the DVD case insert in terms of comments from the crew about the film. A solid four stars for the film, and two and a half for the lacking release.

High Tech, Fast Action Paranoia And With First-Rate Performances.......2005-10-13

Among the stars of this first-rate high tech action thriller is Blue Thunder, a helicopter that, as one character says, can fire 4,000 rounds a minute and peer down blouses at 1,000 feet. At first glance, Blue Thunder is a marvel; it has night vision capability, whisper action engines, high sensitivity mikes, automatic firepower linked to the movements of the pilot's helmet and sophisticated targeting systems. It's heavily armored and heavily armed. When Officer Frank Murphy (Roy Scheider) a chopper pilot with the Los Angeles police who has bad memories of Viet Nam, is chosen to test out the helicopter, he and his partner, Richard Lymangood (Daniel Stern), find themselves up to their eyes in a secret government conspiracy where people are going to die.

Murphy has nightmares about Viet Nam, has trouble with authority, sticks his neck out, feels he has to test himself. His boss, Jack Braddock (Warren Oates), respects him but gets tired of dealing with Murphy's edginess. For one incident, Braddock takes him off flight status. "But there's a bright side to this, and a moral," Braddock tells Murphy. "I think morals are good things. I love morals. And the moral of this story is, if you're walking on eggs, don't hop." On night patrol in their regular police helicopter, Murphy and Lymangood come across an attack on a woman as she enters her condominium complex. They call it it, police quickly arrive, and in the shootout the woman is seriously wounded. The attack is labeled a suspected rape attempt, but Murphy isn't so sure. Why were there two assailants? Why was her briefcase the object of a theft? What happened to the abandoned car Lymangood had spotted nearby just moments before? The woman turns out to be Diane McNeely, a member of the Los Angeles Mayor's task force on urban violence. Murphy discovers she possessed written information that government agencies were stirring up violence in some of the poorest parts of Los Angeles.

Then the Feds show up with Blue Thunder. The experimental chopper with its high tech gear and armaments is designed to identify potential trouble makers and terrorists, to suppress them and to eliminate any unrest they may cause. Los Angeles, it seems, might be just the candidate for tests to prove more of these choppers will do the job. The helicopter is effective in tests, but not perfectly surgical in it's firepower. "One civilian dead for every ten terrorists. That's an acceptable ratio," says one official. "Not if you're the civilian," says Murphy. One of the people behind Blue Thunder is Col. F. E. Cochrane (Malcolm McDowell), an old acquaintance of Murphy's from Viet Nam. Cochrane was an ace pilot, too, who often tossed Viet Nam prisoners out of his chopper. One night in a check-out flight of Blue Thunder, Murphy and Lymangood come across a secret meeting of Cochrane and some Fed officials. Using Blue Thunder's surveillance capabilities, Murphy gets the meeting's discussion recorded on tape. The discussion proves a government conspiracy by a handful of officials to foment insurrection in order to justify Blue Star's use by the government, and to countenance murder, all for the greater good. Just as the meeting closes, Cochrane pulls open the drapes to look outside...and sees Blue Thunder hovering nearby. Murphy and Lymangood are discovered, and a brutal chase begins. The last third of the movie is a race...by the bad guys to get the tape, by Murphy and his girlfriend to get the tape to the news media, to get the Air Force to destroy Blue Thunder and Murphy, and finally to get Blue Thunder and Murphy destroyed in a head-to-head chopper duel between Murphy and Cochrane.

I like this movie a lot. It's a taut, high-paranoia action film where the paranoia is justified. All the actors do fine jobs. Scheider is authoritative and troubled. McDowell is thoroughly unlikable but always watchable. Stern makes Lymangood a goofy, good-natured guy who doesn't deserve what happens to him. Candy Clark as Murphy's girl friend is a sweet, slightly off-centered delight who is brave and determined when she needs to be. Warren Oates plays Murphy's boss in great style. And the city of Los Angeles comes off well, too. The action sequences take us in a fast tour the city from a bird's eye view, from over downtown, past and around sky scrapers, low and fast over freeways and down to the concrete-encased Los Angeles River.

The movie may be 20 years old, but I think it holds up well. The DVD comes wide-screen on one side and edited to full-screen on the other. Watch the wide-screen version. The chopper sequences, particularly the fights, require it. The picture looks fine to me, although it isn't a knock-out transfer. There are no significant extras.

Blue Thunder Bowl ..........2004-07-01

An iron-plated Huey gunship with duel-mounted .50 caliber machine guns threatens to destroy the world. Only Roy Sheider can save the day by hanging off a flagpole on the side of a building and firing a rifle at Blue Thunder's gas tank, causing the shark to explode and then Sheriff Brody has to swim back to shore with a guy who has been "counting money all [his] life". Something like that. Blue Thunder had slightly less appeal than the hit tv series "Airwolf" (starring critically acclaimed alcoholic wife-beater, Jan Michael Vincent). As the film moves toward the end, you will look back and realize that the woman getting naked in the first 15 minutes of the movie was the best part ... and you will want to rewind it and watch that part again. If Popeye, Iron Eagle, and Red Dawn are in your movie collection, you may as well round it off and purchase Blue Thunder as well.

Product Description

This is a look inside the 27th season of the Thunderbird team. The documentary lets us take a behind-the-scenes peak at training, briefing, flight preparation, aircraft preparation, shows, etc. By the end of the movie you will have a complete understanding of what it was like to be one of the "Brother Birds." There are pictures of Thunderbird teams during the Korea and Vietnam eras flying Super Sabres and Thunderchiefs. Of course there is load of amazing footage close-up of the team in flight. Some sections even put you right inside the cockpit. This team is flying the Northrop T-38 "Talon." This aircraft was withdrawn in 1982 after a major Thunderbird accident known as the "Diamond Crash," a malfunction of the lead plane caused a collision which resulted in the deaths of four pilots: Maj. Norm Lowry, Capt. Willie Mays, Capt. Pete Peterson and Capt. Mark Melancon. We ride along with the solo pilots and the commander leader as they take a survey flight to pick out their key points to prepare for the Reading air show. You get to follow the pilots as they walk to their planes, greet their crews, prepare to fly and depart. If you have an interest in the Blue Angles or Thunderbirds then you will love this behind-the-scenes video.

Product Description

Here's Two Complete railfan epics on one dvd! The first is called "Mountain Thunder": a 52 minute video following the Western Maryland Scenic's Baldwin Consolidation 2-8-0, Engine 734, as the 1916 vintage steamer charges up the face of the Allegheny Mountains. She fights her way up grades as steep as 2.8% pulling 1930 vintage steel passenger cars. The noise generated by this strong little steam engine reverberates off the hills and valleys surrounding Cumberland and Frostburg, Maryland. Add to that a deep throated whistle off an original Western Maryland Baldwin H1 and you have the unforgettable sound of mountain railroading. This video follows the Western Maryland Scenic track so faithfully you may get a better view of the trip than when riding the train. #2: "Coal Rides Again on the Western Maryland" covers an unusual event on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. When was the last time you saw a string of coal cars pulled up the face of the Allegheny Mountains by a vintage steam engine? On an delightfully beautiful Summer day in July of 1997, there was "Mountain Thunder" their 1916 vintage steam engine pulling coal cars up the Allegheny Mountains once more. A fellow named Carl Franz had come to run a "Photographer's Special" on the old tracks that had once existed to move coal from mines high in the mountains down to the valleys below. With 9 coal between steam engine and caboose, the hours between 8 am and 6 PM gave a coal train climbing the rails between Cumberland and Frostburg.
