A wild ride of a movie. I saw the movie in 1983 and I really love this movie. Roy Scheider plays a police helecopter pilot who is assing to fly a special helecopter. With help from Daniel Stern as his assistant. The real star of this movie is the helicopter who can do anything a normal helicopter can't do. They Scheider, Stein and the helecopter learn from could put them in danger. "Blue Thunder" is a smart thriller. A joyride though every scene of the movie. Also in the movie is Candy Clark. She didn't do a bad job either. This movie really flies high. Oct 27, 2022
I'm very surprised that no one has tried to remake Blue Thunder. Maybe it is too firmly entrenched into the 80s to try to update for contemporary times, but I've seen much worse remakes of much worse movies for much worse reasons. However, this is a movie that doesn't need to be remade because it's perfect just the way it is. Roy Scheider is perfect, as is Daniel Stern. The idea that malicious actors would take something designed for good and turn it into something to be used for evil is just as relevant now as it was in 1983, perhaps even more so. While the special effects and the music are very techno-80s, I'm perfectly OK with that, as well. If you feel like you couldn't possibly watch a movie made that long ago, you need to educate yourself, because you can't call yourself a movie enthusiast if you have such limited thinking. Blue Thunder is a product of the 80s and that's a good thing! Looking for more opinions?Check out our Featured Movie Reviews for Blue Thunder. |
