if you liked alien or predator

out of respect dont watch this film.

go and buy a cheap copy of the market, that way it will cost less than the price of a ticket to the flicks, and you can bin it after watching it, "like i did"

Never heard of that one but if they ever did it would be no competition - Airwolf is far superior

Blue thunder looked mean but Airwolf was well hard and would cane blue thunder. 'String Fellow whatever his name...' was much cooler than the other guy as well. Did he ever find his brother?

String Fellow Hawke was the daddy played by Jan-Micheal Vincent. Yes he did find his brother (Sinjin). He in drugs rehabilitation now. How there was only ever two series I dont know - fave show as a kid.

Interesting fact - he was one of the favourites to play Hooper in Jaws which was eventually played by Richard Dreyfuss.

Simon.

P.S. Ive just found DVDs of the TV show for sale on ebay - oh yes!

I always prefered the shape of Blue thunder, it looked meaner than airwolf IMHO. I think it was just a dressed up AH-1 Cobra.

Airwolf on the other hand looks like Anika Rice is about to pop out of it!

I think that Blue Thunder was based on a Gazelle, sounded like it! A Cobra doesn't have a fenestrom tail for a start

Airwolf was based on a Bell 222, and of course would easily kick the **** of Blue Thunder as it could do about 1000 mph

I'll get my coat now then............

Thunder would have it in the twisties! And Airwolf still looks like Anika Rice would pop out any second.


I will set up a poll to settle this one.

Cider Boy is right - Blue Thunder was based on a Gazelle with about 200kg of fibreglass panels bolted on. Ironically, though, much of the technology they talked about is now coming onstream, and though 'whisper mode' is a far off dream I have flown stuff which has an acoustic signature of about 1/10 that of a Gazelle...

Airwolf on the other hand was pure and unadulterated tosh.

Blue Thunder gets my vote, here and on the poll

Read alien vs predator in the graphic novel (comic book ) version years ago and it was actually pretty good, but from what I'm hearing the film seems a dud what a shame

damn site better than chronicles of riddoch

not a good film tho - about 2 1/2 *

what made me chuckle was at the beginning when they find the abandoned hole (which would have taken them days to drill) - on one goes:

"hangon that's a bit convienient, perhaps someting slightly dodgey is going on here"

Ending was pants very Alien2 & Predator2 rolled into one.

did anyone think it was short?
