Blue Thunder vs. AirWolf

[stevelkinevil]

Airwolf is gay but dont let that influence your decision. (youngins need not bother to vote, we know you dont know and we dont care)
AirWolf 16703
Blue Thunder 16701

[clublights]

Airwolf was WAY more badass... ( that and I happen to like Bell 222's )

[Bowtie]

This pole is biased.

[stevelkinevil]

This pole is biased.

No way!

[stevelkinevil]

Airwolf was WAY more badass... ( that and I happen to like Bell 222's )

Please AirWolf is just a Rich Folk Farrier with ground effects.

[Holger Danske]

Airwolf is BA. Blue Thunder carries Airwolfs books.

Bah!!!

Aérospatiale makes shitty helo's ( and they are french .. )

[stevelkinevil]

cant believe Air wolf, that weak ass flying limo with a whale paint job is beating Blue Thunder. Im so dissapointed in you guys.

[Holger Danske]

Airwolf is like 007 in a Tux. BA. Blue Thunder is like the gotta get a Dell guy. Funny but not a BA.

[stevelkinevil]

saying airwolf is better than blue thunder is like saying that this
16709
is better than this
16711

[roberth]

Chuck Norris flies Blue Thunder. Obama flies Airwolf.

[Aloha_Shooter]

AirWolf had Jan Michael Vincent and Ernest Borgnine. Blue Thunder was ... Roy Schneider. Gimme Ernest Borgnine over Roy effin' Schneider any day. ;-)

[clublights]

FACT: since they used shitty french helicopters......... they had to make two flying rigs that could bearly fly for 1 movie ( and had to use R/C models for some trick flight shots)

FACT: 1 Airwolf for 4 seasons of TV... and it is said to have flown better with all the mods hung on it !!!

Conclusion ... Airwolf is more realistic there for more bad ass !!! ;-D

[Great-Kazoo]

AirWolf had Jan Michael Vincent and Ernest Borgnine. Blue Thunder was ... Roy Schneider. Gimme Ernest Borgnine over Roy effin' Schneider any day. ;-)

For sure on Ernie. However JMV would be 1/2 in the bag over Rory. bad ass or not without a competent pilot it's grounded. pair Rory and Ernie up and no one's stopping them.

[stevelkinevil]

Dude Jan was a foreigner with a girls name, Roy killed JAWS! OWNED!

[stevelkinevil]

Chuck Norris flies Blue Thunder. Obama flies Airwolf.

this is the most accurate unbiased post ever, and I totally agree.

[<MADDOG>]

Really? BT has a gatling gun! My vote is for the mini Hind. The French chopper looks like a millionaire's toy.

[Holger Danske]

this is the most accurate unbiased post ever, and I totally agree.


Chuck Norris flies Blue Thunder. Obama flies Airwolf.

Full of win. You cant argue with Chuck Norris.

[mackbamf]

Gotta role with Thunder on this one from my childhood... That thing goes into whisper mode and you wouldn't hear it flying 100ft behind you...

[Goodburbon]

Airwolf all the way..

JMV had a suppressor on his chrome 1911...

[dwalker460]

Airwolf is Jack Bauer on a mission from God. Blue Thunder was kinda kool but not that kool, kinda like an Edsel.

[JohnnyEgo]

1. Airwolf had the coolest lair (in the days before it would be outed by Google Earth).
2. Airwolf had the coolest theme song.
3. Airwolf had Jan Michael Vincent, who I totally wanted to be like when I grew up (and am now very grateful that didn't happen).
4. "Blue Thunder" sounds like the stage name of a transgendered performance artist.

It's admittedly been many years

[dwalker460]

They were showing Airwolf reruns on the classic tv channel, and I saw Blue Thunder a couple years back On Demand

[Goodburbon]

Blue thunder got blowed up like a bitch.

/Thread

[stevelkinevil]

Furthermore, Blue Thunder was once used in whisper mode to watch a hot chick strip, just sayin. Also, GATLING GUN!

[clublights]

Dual chain guns and dual 30mm cannon!!!!!!

[Goodburbon]

Furthermore....blowed up by a freaking train.

How lame is that.

[spqrzilla]

Jan Michael Vincent can outdrink Roy Schneider ... or he could until Roy Schneider died.

[Goodburbon]

Hello, shot down migs? Covert forays into USSR? Resetting the computer by maxing altutude rolling down the window and freezing it?

[stevelkinevil]

Jan Michael Vincent can outdrink Roy Schneider ... or he could until Roy Schneider died.

Thats just patently false.

[stevelkinevil]

Dual chain guns and dual 30mm cannon!!!!!!

That cant hit shit! fully articulated mini gun, common!

You know thats right- BT not only looked like a bug, it ended up like one on that trains windshield. SPLAT!

Airwolf is still out in the desert waiting for the day when its power can be safely used again. Wait! Thats what Dec 21 is all about! The day Airwolf returns! The Mayans know! Oh yeah they know...

Airwolf can carry all the weapons it wants, but its FRENCH, and would run away from the fight anyway...

[dwalker460]

The Bell 222 was made in Texas, IIRC

BT was a tarted up French copter


The helicopter used for Blue Thunder was a French-made Aérospatiale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%C3%A9rospatiale) SA-341G Gazelle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%C3%A9rospatiale_Gazelle) modified with bolt-on parts and an Apache (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_AH-64_Apache)-style canopy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canopy_(aircraft)).

[MrPrena]

AIRWOLF ALL THE WAY!

It can shot down Migs that that flies Mach3 (~1029m/s) with a single rocket fire. :D
Currently Lockeed Martin, General Dynamics, Boeing can't catch up 25year old outdated technology.

If it is 100 F-35 and 10 F117s VS Airwolf, I would still bet on Airwolf.

[Goodburbon]

What? Airwolf was a Bell 222, Bell is an american company. The Blue thunder was built by the french company Aérospatiale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%C3%A9rospatiale).

Someone is confused

[clublights]

yeah air wolf is a Bell 222 made in america............. Blue Blunder was a french POS

[Goodburbon]

Let's not forget that the french helicopter (a flying machine) managed to get run over by a train. After being seriously disabled in a firefight, after the pilot was shot while in the cockpit...something that NEVER happened in Airwolf. The lady protected her men...

[JohnnyEgo]

As an aside, when I was a young and broke squid, my roommate had a 1964 Beetle. He was also young and broke, and the Beetle's ignition switch was just broke. So we did the only logical thing that made sense: Put in a momentary and a non-momentary shielded toggle switch, and used a label gun to label them 'Start 1' and 'Start 2'. I will also admit to the fact that we frequently hummed the theme song to Airwolf when we fired it up.

Yep

[ruthabagah]

BT all the way. Airwolf was and is still gay.

I flew on a gazelle HOT/M621 once: fastest helo of it's time. If I remember correctly, the gazelle was chosen for the movie because of the Fenestron tail rotor system: Really advanced for it's time.

[sneakerd]

You know how I know you're gay? You said "Fenestron".

[Aloha_Shooter]

I'm just laughing here at how hard stevel is working to convince everyone to like a crap-ass French POS tarted up to look bad versus a US copter that could really fly. It sort of reminds me of guys who buy a 4 cylinder POS car because it looks cool or the antis who get all wobbly in the knees because a rifle has a bayonet lug, pistol grip and collapsible stock rather than worry about calibre, rate of fire or how well the guy toting it can shoot.

[sneakerd]

Seriously discussing Airwolf?

[Goodburbon]

Bell 430..the evolution of the 222 is probably the smoothest bird I've ever ridden in. And still looks like airwolf.

[stevelkinevil]

common man, you know AW sucked, and was just a bite off of BT. Besides we arent talking about the choppers they were derived from. Otherwise please tell me where AW stored all that impressive weaponry? BT was at least somewhat attainable tech for the time, AW? still silly fantasy. And to compare Jan to Roy? that's like comparing Justin Bieber to Uncle Ted.

[jhood001]

I had to vote AirWolf because I still catch myself whistling the theme song from time to time when I'm doing yard work.

Yeah, I might have some issues.

Ted Turner, maybe. I'll take the Bieb over Mr. Jane Fonda (I may puke but not as bad as if I had to be in the same room with Turner).

I mean BT was OK for a watered down police copter, but Airwolf is the future...

This is a thread is the very essence of what makes the internet great: a bunch of middle aged guys vehemently arguing over 80s TV!! Oh, and 3 quasi-hipsters who watched these shows 'ironically' on Netflix. Seriously, this thread is awesome.

That is so on the nose! What did LAPD need with a battle copter anyway? AirWolf was used to run covert ops into other countries. Plus JMV favorite past time in real life was drinking and getting in fights. BT was the original concept admittedly but AirWolf was the perfection of the concept. ( throws down mike and walks off stage )

[cofi]

I dislocated my shoulder playing airwolf when I was a youngn my mom popped that bitch back in and I went right back to killin Russians......nothing gay about that

[rockhound]

sorry but the naked chick doing yoga was not available in your airwolf tv show. that kind of entertainment is only available in the blue thunder movie

airwolf = no naked women
blue thunder taking peeping toms to a whole new level

Pretty sure this thread has been resolved since post #11. Or, if not then, it was the nekkid woman post.

[dwalker460]

Airwolf actually had a woman in the copter, and you know Stringfellow was tappin it... Blue Thunder had the onlymale 20yr old virgin of the 70's riding shotgun and bitching like a girl.
Advantage- Airwolf

Totally! Erin Grey was a close second though.
