Still scary after all these years

Blue ThunderI first saw this movie over a decade ago (maybe two). Yes, it's a bit outdated by our standards and the music is really cheesy, but the story itself is still dramatic. It starts with a night shift air patrol by policeman Frank Murphy and his new partner, Lymangood. They see a...

A good helicopter movie

This is a great movie, especially if you are a sci-fi fan, and a helicopter fan. It has quite a bit of action, and high drama.

Little known movie

I do not even remember when I saw this movie for the first time. I do know that outside of Jaws and All that Jazz, this is one of Roy Scheider's best movies. I am not a movie critic, I just know what I like. This has plenty of action and a good plot to it. Also it is one of the first movies in...

R.I.P. Roy Scheider - Long Live Blue Thunder

Roy Scheider passed away on February 10, 2008. He was an actor who's presence always added greatly to any production. This is certainly the case with Blue Thunder, which would have had less of an impact without his performance.The 80's were a great time for big "B-MOVIES". Blue Thunder plays like...

Thrilling Adventure, But I Didn't Like It's Attitude

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...

Above average action movie

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...
