Poor quality Blu-ray reproduction
Added 12/28/2009
This was not a good version of the movie which I would bet plays much better in a regular DVD format. Lots of panning across the screen and lots of blurs when the actors move about at a pace faster than a regular walking speed, all very annoying.

Blu Thunder? Not quite...
Added 11/20/2009
I bought this movie because I enjoyed Blue Thunder during my younger days. However I was very disappointed with this Blu Ray release with rather poor transfer, both picture and sound quality. There was very significantly noticeable grain on the picture and the Dolby True HD track was a big disappointment. Most likely the master copy of this movie was not the best.
I am now surprised why I liked this movie when I was young. Story line was thin and I guessed it was the helicopter which attracted my young mind those days!
My overall rating for this movie:
1. Movie - 2/5
2. Video - 3/5
3. Audio - 2/5

Blue Thunder DVD Bluray
Added 9/18/2009
I bought this from Amazon, because, it is a very good DVD. But that is not all, that I want to say, it is a Bluray DVD Disc. It has beautiful color and great Sound, If you buy this BLURAY DISC DVD, BLUE THUNDER, YOU WON'T REGREAT IT. (IT IS GREAT.) A lot of action that you will enjoy, An Suspence, that keeps you on the edge of you seat.
Jim in Ohio., Says so.

Dumb, but Entertaining
Added 9/5/2009
I really liked this movie when I first saw it, years ago. Watching it again now, I have to shake my head in rueful astonishment.
There's a shocking scene in the TV series "Mad Men" where a '60s family pack up after a picnic and simply dump all their trash out on a beautiful green lawn. Times change, huh?
I thought about that when our hero Frank Murphy, a police helicopter pilot played by Roy Scheider, saved himself by tricking the bad guys into firing missiles into a crowded barbecue joint and a high-rise office tower, and again when he shot up a civilian apartment building while trying to take aim on a bad guy in another chopper. This was particularly grating since Murphy had earlier spoken against the bad guys' low regard for civilian lives.
Forget the characters. Forget the plot. They will only annoy you. This movie is stunt porn, pure and simple, and given that it was made before the era of computerized special effects, we have to respect the ingenuity, skill and courage of Hollywood stunt people.
The movie is dumb, but entertaining. Lots of stuff gets blowed up real good, and helicopters are cooool. If you want more than that, you'll want to look elsewhere.
