I was first introduced to this movie while serving in the Air Force in the Phillipines. At the time this movie was released, the electronic surveillance equipment was state of the art.....and then some. "Blue Thunder" is a 5 Million helicopter proto-type that is to be tested in Los Angeles by the L.A.P.D. Astro Division & Officer Frank Murphy & his observer Richard Lymengood are assigned to test fly it over L.A. , only to find out the U.S. Gov't. has "other" plans for him & Blue Thunder. This was filmed in L.A. The helicopter chase scenes are excellent & keep you on the edge of your seat. Unfortunately, this was the last completed movie for legendary actor Warren Oates who played Capt. Braddock. Mr. Oates, Thank you for all the joy you gave us!
