Watched TAKEN ALIVE (1994) the 650th film I've seen with an exploding helicopter. 🚁💥📽️ If you've ever wanted to see table football used for torture, suggestive sheep milking, or what a Robert Ginty sex tape might look like then this is the film to see.
Watched FIERCE COP (2022). Fierce action with a seemingly formulaic plot, at least until its surprisingly downer ending.
Watched GI JOE: THE MOVIE (1987) the 649th film I've seen with an exploding helicopter. 🚁💥📽️ Not unreasonably, this is aimed at those familiar with the TV cartoon so it was tough coming in cold. Still, some grade A vocal talent involved here: Don Johnson and Burgess Meredith.
Watched THE HONORARY CONSUL (1983) where Richard Gere plays a Paraguayan, Bob Hoskins an Argentinian, and Michael Caine plays... Michael Caine. The film was re-titled as Beyond The Limit in the US because, you know, Americans...
We got two! THE EMU WAR (2023) and THE SWARM (2024) aka Aserb: The Squadron take the total known number of films with an exploding helicopter to 856. 🚁💥📽️ Excitingly, The Emu War becomes the first film to ever feature a helicopter destroyed by an emu.
Watched FLASHMAN (1967) the 647th film I've seen with an exploding helicopter. 🚁💥📽️ Italian produced superhero film about a British aristocrat who's also a costumed crime fighter. Harmless, and rather anodyne, comedic antics ensue.
Watched WALK A CROOKED MILE (1948) the always reliable Dennis O'Keefe is on the trail of Commies smuggling atomic secrets in this entertaining semi-documentary style police procedural. The late, great Reed Hadley provides his unmistakable tones to the narration.
Tremendous! Thank you so much. I'll listen to this at weekend 🙏
We got one! FLASHMAN (1967) becomes the 850th film we've found with an exploding helicopter. 🚁💥📽️ This Italian produced superhero movie is the 12th earliest film we've found with a helicopter explosion.
