Get To Da Choppa!

    Besides being extremely useful in the real world, helicopters play a big role in cinema on the big movie theater screen and the little home screen. I really like helicopters and I have noticed in a lot of movies that I have seen that there are parts including big scenes using helicopters. You might see a helicopter in the climax of the movie, the rescue in the end, or just to had a little dramatic affect.

    In the movie Predator Schwarzenegger’s famous line, “Get to da choppa!” He is telling a girl to get to the helicopter while he is fighting the predator. After beating the predator, the predator activated it’s failsafe explosive device timer. Schwarzenegger gets away from the blast and the helicopter comes pick him up.

    In the movie Alien vs Predator: Requiem the whole town gets infected by a half Alien and half Predator monster and its Alien babies. The government tells the people in the town to meet in the middle of the town. The main people in the movie know it is a trick so they go to the hospital to get the helicopter to get out of town. As they fly out of town the government nukes the town at the same time the main predator and the Alien/Predator kill each other. The explosion’s blast causes the helicopter to crash land. But the people live and are taken by the army.

    In the movie Terminator 2 Judgment day Schwarzenegger is back this time to save the day as the Terminator, against the liquid metal Terminator. The liquid metal Terminator jumps his motorcycle out of a building’s window at a helicopter, grabbing on to the helicopter and pulling himself up. He breaks the helicopter’s window with his head then slips in like liquid. He makes the pilot jump out then chases Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger slams on his breaks in the police armored vehicle and the helicopter crashes into it making the helicopter explode and wreck.

    In the movie Terminator Genisys Terminator is back again to break more helicopters. In the scene where they are at the hospital, Schwarzenegger and the rest get in a helicopter to fly away. But the new evil robot John Connor is chasing them in a what looks like a faster helicopter. Schwarzenegger says his most famous line, “I’ll be back.” And jumps from their helicopter and lands head on into the other helicopter making it crash.

There is just so many great movies that use helicopters in them to save the day or for the bad guy to be that much more evil. And every-time I see one I say, “Helicopter!” Most people probably do not even think about it. I will most likely write two or three blog posts about great movies that are even better because they have helicopters in them. Next helicopter I am going to talk about after that are going to be new ones that came out not to long ago. They have awesome new features and it is going to be great.
