...in terms of kinetic urban action in the air, it's quite literally a perfect vehicle for Roy Scheider...
February 21, 2021 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
There are plenty of conflicts brewing under the surface of military testing, but it takes too long to unearth the most stirring of the bunch.

...a somewhat erratic thriller that improves steadily as it progresses...
April 26, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
This police thriller is an incoherent mess, playing out as a government conspiracy themed techno-thriller obsessed over technology.
June 24, 2018 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… -
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.

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

Jan 30, 2009The film the spawned a television series starring Roy Scheider who is probably best known for his part in Jaws. A hightech Police Helicopter patrols the skies of Los AngelesGreg Super Reviewer

Sep 16, 2008Ha,a terrible example of a chaotic script gone bad.An averagely made film,out of the huge number of productions specifically made for the "legendary" U.S. 80's of action-packed thrillers and methodical collisions.It's not really horrible.The unbelievably disjoint theory of helicopters conquering the skies is a truly weak point,no human contains a decent storyline and even if it's not measured as Badham's late failures e.g. Nick of Time,it still was a film with potential.Dimitris S Super Reviewer

May 31, 2008High tech action yarn with fine acting by Scheider, Oates and Stern with McDowell playng a perfect sneering baddie. Cool dogfights with a bit of humor thrown in..this is one thrilling ridealan j Super Reviewer
