- Frank Murphy, of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Police's helicopter division (ASTRO), and newcomer Richard Lymangood on his first patrol, help take down the perpetrators of what appears to be a robbery and attempted rape of a city councilwoman. They are little aware of the much larger and more sinister plot behind the attack, much less that they will soon find themselves right in the middle of it. Murphy (Roy Scheider) and Lymangood (Daniel Stern) then learn that they have been selected to test a new, state-of-the-art, high-performance helicopter with cutting-edge surveillance capabilities--Blue Thunder. Disconcertingly, unlike other police aircraft, Blue Thunder is also equipped with powerful weaponry. When Murphy is introduced to the lead pilot for the program he finds that it is an old nemesis from his tours in Vietnam, Col. Cochrane (Malcolm McDowell), who is none too pleased to learn who has been selected for the test. Soon Murphy and Lymangood, via the helicopter's information system, discover disquieting hints that there may be much bigger and less honorable plans for the 'copter than they've been told, leading them to defy orders and seek more information on their own. It is now up to them, with the help of Murphy's spirited wife, Kate, to blow the lid off the plot and expose the villainy within.
- The cop test pilot for an experimental police helicopter learns the sinister implications of the new vehicle.
- BLUE THUNDER is an outstanding action thriller from the 80s that, on many different levels, holds up even better today.<br/><br/>(spoiler warnings)<br/><br/>The futuristic premise concerns the ominous prospect of the L.A. police experimenting with military hardware in anticipation of possible terrorism during the 84 olympics.<br/><br/>The hero, played by veteran actor Roy Scheider of Jaws fame, is an L.A. police pilot disturbed by an apparent departmental cover-up over an incident involving an outspoken public figure. But before he delves deeper into the mystery, he is reassigned to a special project involving testing a monstrous attack helicopter. Later he makes the connection between the special project and the official's demise. Which sets up a nerve wracking showdown above the streets of L.A.<br/><br/>Blue Thunder does an excellent job of combining the action genre with film noir (action noir?). Famed N.Y. critic Pauline Kael described the film as "elegantly kicky" and that John Alonzo's cinematography gives its night time shots of L.A. an electric ambience and "psychedelic futuristic quality like (the film) Alphaville." The photography does give each scene, particularly at night, a radiant, atmospheric mood.<br/><br/>The film's only possible drawback might be in the first half. After the documentary-like opening sequence which depicts a side of police work Hollywood seldom showcases, the plot meanders occasionally. And only glosses over the intrigue and socio-political underpinnings when it should delve deeper into them. (However, the demonstration scene is cool, as it sends up military callousness over collateral damage, much to the protagonist's dismay)<br/><br/>But by the middle of the film, the plot really kicks into high gear and holds you until the final frame as the hero uncovers the sinister goings on and is forced to take drastic action. The aerial combat scenes are exhilirating. While the car chases on the ground provide a humourous counterpoint to a genre convention. Instead of Steve McQueen's super charged Mustang in Bullitt, we get a four cylinder Vega hopelessly outclassed by police cars in a wiley chase through the streets and alleyways of L.A.
- This one was perhaps unfairly overlooked for those of you who like glossy 80's product used to glamorise hardware. I would've liked to have seen the director make more of a choice between 'investigative thriller' and straight-up action movie, because trying to do both makes it occasionally uneven. More than compensating for this though is the great cast and impressive gadgetry. Ya gotta love Roy Scheider; he made a great leading man, and this is definitely one to look out for if you feel he didn't quite catch the wave he should've done, after "Jaws"...<br/><br/>It's a little bottom-heavy, with most of the action being shoehorned into the last segment, but if you garnered some enjoyment from Badham's other crowd-pleasing fare of the decade like "War Games" and "Short Circuit", then you should also be able to derive some form of pleasure from this.
- The action sequences are what the film is all about, and these are remarkably well done, including a climactic, largely bloodless shootout among helicopters and jet fighters over Los Angeles.
- The DVD version differs in one scene compared to the tape version. The VHS is identical to the laserdisc and earlier TV broadcasts. a5c7b9f00b
