Blue Thunder Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeatDecember 22, 2024My quick rating - 6,0/10. Officer Frank Murphy (Roy Scheider), an experienced LAPD helicopter pilot, is given command of the advanced new "Blue Thunder" chopper. But he begins to wonder why the LAPD would need a helicopter so powerful and why it is such a secret. Nice action movie and I'll sum it up quick. 1983. Those were real helicopters. As usual, anything designed for good has to be used for killing. One man in the way of this plan.
- Ray HopkinOctober 29, 2024This is an amazing film! I watched this as a kid many decades ago, I loved it then, and rewatching it now, I still love it! Roy Scheider is his usual brilliant self, and the supporting cast of Warren Oates, Candy Clark, Daniel Stern and Malcolm McDowell are all great. I never realised that it's the same newscaster as in RoboCop! And the main character is Murphy! But some great action scenes, a great plot, highly recommended!
