NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

lovettstough Airwolf was a great show as long as Stringfellow Hawk & Dom Santini were in it as the main characters but as soon as they were gone & from the very first episode that Barry Vandyke & that whole new cast came in/on it the show totally sucked. I loved it with Stringfellow Hawk & Dom Santini in it & I loved shows similar to it at the time like Knight Rider as well as others. It would be a great show to bring back today whether they just play repeats (only the episodes with Stringfellow Hawk & Dom Santini & Kate in them) or to do a remake of Airwolf but only with Stringfellow Hawk or Dom Santini & Kate or their characters children like the new remake coming out of Magnum P.I. but they would have to keep the C.I.A. & or the Company & or the Firm out of it as much as possible or all together.

phelpsmarc I just watched the pilot of this series on DVD yesterday. Good action, decent acting and an interesting premise. JM Vincent was a good fit as the brooding, tough Stringfellow Hawke. Also, I think the production value is pretty good. It doesn't seem cheesy, even now over 25 years later. I thought it would appear hokey and cheesy, but was pleasantly surprised. The scenery around Hawke's cabin is very nice. This must have been shot in northern California or Oregon, Maybe Washington state. Also, It's interesting to be reminded that Lybian leader General Quadafi was a thorn in the side of the U.S. even more so in 1984 then he is today. Sure, some of the situations depicted are implausible, but as long as you can suspend disbelief, and go with the flow, you'll enjoy this pilot. Haven't seen the rest of the episodes yet but plan on viewing the entire DVD set for some fun 1980's nostalgia

elijah2100 I would like to state first that once again I enjoyed the Airwolf TV series of the fictional action entertainment it provided. As well as one of the best writing of an action series of its type of the 80s. But I do remember Blue Thunder as well as being the more realistic of the two but had some the most awful writing that I have ever seen (which is the primary reason that it failed horribly). How ever to compare the two's combat abilities and prowess is like comparing an urban gorilla fighter to the classic field army solider. If anyone paid any good detail to the Blue Thunder Movie. It wasn't about supersonic speed or multiple types of weapons. But about reaction time relative to speed and knowledge of the city. BT took out an F-16 Falcon armed with heat seeking missiles and Mach 2 speed by first avoiding it missiles by decoying it to other heat sources within the city. Then it hid in between buildings and used its 20mm cannon to saw off its wing. Jets fighting a helicopter in a city is like a car trying to out maneuver a motorcycle in an alleyway, and down park steps and sidewalks. Airwolf likes its pray more out in the open where its speed and long range weapons are at an advantage. If Airwolf stepped into BT type of battle ground it would be at a disadvantage sense its main weapons (missiles) would be at a disadvantage (even the radar guided ones because of the greater radio interference and tall buildings). Also Airwolf's guns lack the turret option of BT. If BT tried to meet Airwolf in open ground it would be in Airwolf advantage.

bull-frog I remember loving this show when I was a kid. I thought the helicopter was the coolest thing I've seen. It was ultra high-tech for it's time. It could repel enemy fire, do all sorts of acrobatics in the air, and take down nearly anything in it's way. Now I go back and watch it today and am surprised how lousy this show really is. The casts members are hardly compelling, there are a lot of cheesy moments, and the fight scenes are incredibly fake looking. And nearly every ending has the same helicopter fighting crap with the obvious reuse of grainy low quality stock footage. Lot of the footages appear to date from the Vietnam War era.Airwolf has basically the same theme as Knight Rider, except the crime-fighting vehicle of choice is a helicopter instead of a car. After watching a few episodes, I found myself utterly bored. I do, however, love the theme music.
