Synopsis: Blue Thunder (1983)
Synopis: The air above Los Angeles has become a battle ground in this explosive action thriller. Roy Scheider (JAWS) stars as Frank Murphy, a courageous and honorable Los Angeles police officer who is chosen to test run Blue Thunder, a high-tech experimental attack helicopter that comes complete with listening devices, camera lenses, and computer files. While flying Blue Thunder, Murphy and his partner, Lymangood (Daniel Stern) discover that the government intends to use the helicopter for corrupt crowd control and surveillance. The top-secret operation is being run by a sinister colonel (Malcolm McDowell), who will stop at nothing to keep the devious military conspiracy a secret. In an effort to expose the covert military operation Murphy decides to "borrow" Blue Thunder, flying against military and police aircrafts on a death-defying flight. Superb special effects and daredevil stunts combine with breathtaking cinematography to create a dizzying battle for justice.Features: Blue Thunder (1983)

But, to this day, it is my most sought movie.
When I was a kid, I never really understood what the movie was actually about. I never really understood the conspiracy behind the helicopter and the characters involved. All I new was that it was a really cool helicopter.
But now that I've grown up and I understand the movie...I still love it.
From the intro and theme music, to the helicopter itself and it's destinct turbine engine 'howl', 9mm electric canon and cool gadgets, the conspiracies, and to the final chase scenes in down town L.A., Blue Thunder, although dated by today's standards, is still to this day, one of my all-time favourite movies. It's an oldie, but it's a goodie.
Enjoy.
