It was also interesting to watch the "Making Of" film on the DVD to see which scenes used real helicopters and which were models. They all looked pretty real to me.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-31392007313435873092013-04-11T18:08:19.883-07:002013-04-11T18:08:19.883-07:00Loved Blue Thunder when it first came out.

It was seriously high tech for its time, having been made in 1983. The other helicopter movie that comes to mind is the one that took the life of Vic Morrow in a helicopter incident whilst filming.
