Mel Gibson movie?, We were Soldiers, when they first come into Nam LZ...... UH-1D'S ....fuck, drop 12 boys ......bring back 2 1/2
Fuck that war.

[Scooter]

This one came to mind....

[RacerX]

So it's Fire Birds, a really terrible helicopter movie from 1990 starring Nic Cage & Tommy Lee Jones?

Ok, are we talking short body, Uh-1a,b,c,d,e, etc.... I'm thinking more than likely an Uh-1H?

Fucked if I know. They have a big fan thing on top that whirrs round and they fly, that's all I can tell you.
Oh, it's not Airwolf either, because as we all know that doesn't sound like a helicopter.

Scooter, that clip was excellent, that's just what I'm looking for - I'm trying to impress the shit out of some very important clients and want to project it onto a 15m wall in front of them. (We have 2 x 15,000 Lumens projectors, the client will be sitting about 10m in front of the wall, I want it to peel their faces off!)

I'm going to have to find that Mel Gibson film now...

Fuckin Airwolf. man the 80's sure churned out some shitty ass television. what was that cheesy ass TV show about the incredibly fast motorcycle? that was even worse than airwolf. well..... maybe it wasnt worse, at least it didnt have ernest borgnine's ugly ass in it.

Street Hawk?

Hey I liked Airwolf!

[Rsmacker]

EVERYONE liked Airwolf, and if they say they didn't, they are a fucking liar.


And the Dukes of Hazzard. (Only because there was a copper called Anus in it)

What about using keeanu reeves riding the bus in Speed instead?

[Rsmacker]

It needs to be a war/military theme, not too much overt violence and gore, not all modern stuff either. I have stuff like jets screaming from one side to the other, looking for more overhead passes and impressive stuff.
I need footage from all fairly recent conflicts, not trying to be too pro-war, and the problem being that older footage is going to look shite when blown up to that size.

We're doing some flashy projection mapping and I need to blow the client's wallet right open so I can buy a new Jag!!!

[Larz]

Top Gun?


Maybe something from Platoon....

[Scooter]

Glad I could help bro. Try this too:

The A10 is loud, rude, and agressive, prolly a good bet.

That's true... Warthogs are very impressive!!!!

I do have some pics that I've taken myself of these beasts in action, but you're looking for video footage?

[horns666]

I'm thinkin' My Favorite Martian or Mr Ed. It has nothin' to do with this topic..but I'm thinkin' that anywhoo.

"Platoon" was the first to come to mind
