| Original Score: 2/5

As a cop-action flick this isn't bad, but it fits the mold so thoroughly that it feels more familiar than it should.

Scheider's quite great in this techno-helicopter thriller.

The battle in Blue Thunder is less between Scheider's edgy police pilot Frank Murphy and his ultimate nemesis (Malcom McDowell), as it is between Murphy and the high-tech beast he's asked to pilot.

Despite some big lapses in logic, Blue Thunder is a thrilling action-adventure with a smart, cynical attitude and a villain (Malcolm McDowell) you'll just love to hate.

Well-made action flick with high-tech police chopper. Solid performances from Roy Scheider and Daniel Stern.

I've always had a weakness for Blue Thunder, which seemed terribly exciting during my teen years. More than two decades later, I can admit that it's not a great picture. But I still like it.
