Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
"Suspense in a void" is how critic Pauline Kael described this action-packed hit from 1983. In other words, this is one of those flashy, superbly crafted high-tech thrillers in which the star is a machine, while intelligent plotting and human characters are a lesser priority. The machine in question is Blue Thunder--a heavily armored prototype helicopter that is secretly being tested for use in a devious government conspiracy. Roy Scheider plays the police pilot who catches on to the nefarious plot and takes to the skies against an evil army colonel (Malcolm McDowell) who will defend his coconspirators at any cost. Director John Badham was a hot property in the early '80s (he directed WarGames the same year), and Blue Thunder served as the popular model for many formulaic action thrillers to follow. That doesn't make it a great movie, but with a fine cast (including Daniel Stern in a memorable supporting role) and a dazzling aerial chase among big-city skyscrapers, Blue Thunder qualifies as slick entertainment. --Jeff Shannon

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 ... Read More

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.

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 ... Read More

If you like helicopters, then this movie is a must-see! It combines comedy with some suspense, fantasy (don't we all wish we could fly a silent helicopter that never needs re-fueling, that can see through walls, record our enemy plotting to kill us, onboard computer that we can just type in a name and get all that persons' information... and steal the helicopter right off the police helipad with no consequences?!) and action! The plot is about a police helicopter pilot Frank (Roy Scheider) who's getting ... Read More

I saw this movie in the theaters when I was around 13. This movie has stood out since then as one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I don't even remember why, I've tried to block this movie from my memory ever since. Now you can get it on blu-ray. My daughter just got the Hello Kitty movie. It's more exciting than this movie was.
