Review of Blue Thunder (1983) by Jeff — 09 May 2008
Love this action-packed thriller about a special helicopter. The late Roy Scheider is awesome as L.A.P.D. helicopter pilot Frank Murphy. This movie has a lot of great scenes and great lines. The film is about a former Vietnam Vet and now cop Frank Murphy, who along with his partner are assigned to special detail with a speial helicopter called Blue Thunder created by the government to fight terrorism, but Frank Murphy and his partner Lymangood discover it will be used for more that fighting terrorism.
The other great cast include Daniel Stern as Frank Murphy's partner Richard Lymangood, who they call JAFO (Just Another Fucking Observer), Malcolm McDowell as F.E. Cochrane, the main villain in this film, the late Warren Oates as L.
A.P.D. Captain Braddock and Candy Clark as Frank Murphy's girlfriend Kate.
