It's aerodynamically impossible.
Anyone who tells you any
different is a damn liar.
Now, you take the Ranger
and I'll be in my bird.
We'll have a little game.
Follow my leader.
Follow my leader.
Catch you later.
Murphy, this is Cochrane.
Join formation with me, echelon
right. And keep it tight.
Roger that, colonel.
Wanna show me that loop, Murphy?
Negatory.
I thought so.
Okay, slide over to my left.
Come on, keep it tight.
Christ!
Any closer, we start eating blades.
We're following his leader.
Now push it over and pick up speed.
Follow me through
a high-speed climbing turn.
Level out at 500 feet.
All right, Mr. Murphy.
You take the lead.
Roger that.
Damn! Damn it! Shit!
We got a runaway!
Jeez! What was that?
Grab your ankles
and kiss your ass goodbye.
- We're going down.
- Shit!
Mayday! Mayday!
We're going down.
Willowbrook and Alameda.
Request ambulance, fire.
Shut the fuel off.
Shut the fuel off!
What? Fuel?
Heads up!
Jesus! Where'd that bus come from?
Steady. We're gonna
make a house call.
Central, this is Blue Thunder.
It seems that we have a ship down,
somewhere in the Watts area.
Are you all right?
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.
Get the hell off me!
I hope you broke your fucking neck!
You could've killed half of my crew!
You knocked down the whole damn
shack! Get the hell out of here!
- Listen, Dick. Thanks a lot.
- Be careful.
- Take care.
- See you.
Rather a near thing today.
I heard your turbine failed.
Or was it your flying?
Back off, asshole.
What's that I hear? Threats?
Well, what a change.
We are acting brave nowadays.
Are you threatening me, Murphy?
No, I'm telling you. Back off.
Catch you later.
- Can I see your watch?
- Sure.
You know where it is, don't you?
Are you losing weight?
Getting older too. I think you
have to turn up here.
Getting enough sleep?
Are we having two different
conversations or I am going nuts?
The train ride. The train ride.
I'll find it.
- If you don't run out of gas first.
- What?
When that needle points to empty,
it means you're out of gas.
That's broken.
We got plenty.
Mommy! You missed the train ride.
Hang on.
- Are you crazy?
- This a one-way street!
I won't tell if you won't tell!
Jeez, look out!
I'll tell you one thing,
it's awfully hard to read.
- Yeah, I know.
- It's part of a letter.
It says something about strangers
in the barrio making trouble.
I don't know. Something
like that. Here's a word...
...that isn't in Spanish:
"Thor."
T- H-O-R.
- Thor? No.
- Mean anything?
Strangers in the barrio
making trouble.
I don't know.
Maybe I've been in this too long, but
I think something bad's coming down.
Most of the official family
of Los Angeles, led by the mayor...
... and the City Council, gathered
with family members...
... and members of the black community
at McNeely's funeral...
... who was tragically murdered
several days ago.
Food's up!
McNeely, who chaired
the Commission on Urban Violence...
... was an outspoken critic of
police department policies.
The chief was in evidence as were
many of his aides.
As temperatures stay high
and tempers continue to fray...
... fires continue in
the Watts area...
... the City of Industry, Pacoima
and East Los Angeles.
You want ketchup on your sandwich?
Now where did he go?
Hey, Frank.
Frank, did you say you wanted-?
Frank?
Frank, are you okay?
Frank.
Is this something kinky?
Goddamn your black Irish heart...
...Frances McNeil Murphy,
if you've left!
These are your television monitors.
You have three.
The one in the center ties into
all your computer banks.
The switches:
Night vision.
Infrared filter. Target system.
Whisper mode
so you can travel silent.
Audio, which controls your
outside mikes which are here.
What's the sensitivity?
You can hear a mouse fart
at 2000 feet.
Now, gentlemen. This is your
