There Is No Spoon

    Alright we are finishing my awesome movie helicopter list. There is really countless numbers of  movies with helicopters in them, these are just the ones I personally know and own. You could make many different kinds of lists like this. Movies just about helicopter, movies where the helicopter blows up, where the helicopter saves someone at the last minute. The lists never stop. But I really enjoy talking about helicopter and the best way to relate to someone who does not know a lot about helicopters is by talking about movies.

    In the movie The Matrix Leo is fighting the Matrix machine suit guys. He asks the girl if she can fly a helicopter. She then has the instructions to fly a B2-12 helicopter programmed into her brain. They then fly back to fight where the bad guys in suits are and shoot the snot out of them with a minigun. The shot in the scene just looks amazing. The fire sprinklers are going off and the bad guys are shooting back with their desert eagles .50 cal pistols. The upwards angle of the helicopter in slow motion as the shell casings and belts fall to the grounds.

    In the movie The Avengers there is a good helicopter crash and a good save. The movie starts out with Loki coming to earth and stealing the tasteract. Nick Fury (The leader of shield) self destructs the base to try to stop Loki. Before the base is destroyed Nick Fury gets into a waiting helicopter and chases Loki. The only weapon Nick Fury had though was a pistol. Loki easily shot him down with his spear weapon thing. But Nick Fury jumped out right in time. Later in the movie Hawkeye blows up one of the Helicarrier’s rotors with his arrow. (The Helicarrier is kind of like a helicopter, but it is really fake and not possible) Iron man has to go inside the rotor to get it working again so that they do not crash.

    In the movie Lake Plasic it shows that a movie does not need to be really high budgeted to have helicopter in it. The movie is about a giant crocodile that eats people and cows. The main helicopter seen is when a guy is in a lake and he is being followed by the giant crocodile. For some reason he is talking to the crocodile.. while swimming closer to a water helicopter. His friend is in the helicopter watching. When he gets close to the helicopter he pulls out a blowup raft to distract the crocodile while he hops in the helicopter. The crocodile jumps out of the water and bites on to the helicopter’s landing gear, “skids”. His friend uses her revolver to shoot the crocodile to make it let go. But that does not kill it…

    This concludes my list of movie I wanted to talk about that have helicopter in them. It was very fun to talk about. I am sure I could come up with about a million more movie though. But I do not want too. Next post will be about the new helicopter I said I would talk about.
