More Than Meets The Eye

    Let us continue the list of awesome movies with helicopters in them. Still have not finish my list so I will just post a few more blog post about helicopters in movies then start talking about the sweet new helicopters that probably are not in movies yet.

    In the movie Transformers it starts out with a helicopter coming and landing in a military base. The numbers on it match a helicopter that was already shot down. After it lands it is surrounded by army troops and hummers with mounted machine guns. As it starts transforming they open fire but it does not do any good and the helicopter transforms into a decepticons, a evil transformer, and it starts killing everybody. His name is Blackout and he turns into a Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low 4 helicopter. Later in the movie he flies in as a helicopter and transforms into his robot form and starts killing more people. But a soldier slides under him using a motorcycle and kills him with a grenade launcher.

    In the movie The Dark Knight the helicopter scene follows right after batman rides his bat-motorcycle out of his bat-tank. The police are transporting a prisoner and they are being chased by the Joker in semi truck. The police helicopter shows up to be the “air-cav”, to help them out. But the Joker says, “Ok rack em up, rack em up, rack em up, rack em up.” Then his  goons shoot harpoon things across the building and the helicopter runs right into them causing it to lose control and crash into building then crashing the ground exploding. And the police truck runs right into it.

    In the movie World war Z the best helicopter scene is in Jerusalem. Somehow Jerusalem built a wall around a city because they knew the zombie problem was starting. Instead of telling the rest of the world that there are zombies everywhere they build a wall. While the star of the movie is in the city the people start singing and I guess that sends the zombies over the edge and they start climbing on top of each other to get over the wall. The helicopter starts firing at the zombies with its mounted machine guns.(Wayy too late) But the zombies still get over the wall. The hero was going to catch a ride with the helicopter but at the last second zombies start jumping at it from a wall/roof. The zombies take out the gunner and cause the pilot to lose control and crash. That pilot could have done his job way better.

    Just like in every movie there are always parts where you think to yourself (Or yell loudly) what the people in the movie should have done. Or what they did do was stupid and the should not have done that. Same thing is with watching helicopters in movie. Watch something that a helicopter should never do and you just think that the pilot is being very stupid. But it is just a movie and we will forgive him.
