Great Chopper Action Movie
"This movie has the best chopper action scenes since the made for tv, "Birds of Prey" from 1973...."
💡 Did You Know?
The Hughes 369HS flown by Hagman's character was destroyed in a collision with an aerial cableway on 17th April 1982. Sadly, three of the four people on board were killed: one was the aircraft's owner, Glenn Miller (who appears in the film as the truck driver Pocatello Pete). It is unknown whether the accident occurred during filming.
