A different way of telling a story
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreIt's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
View MoreMy love of the Airwolf Television series is based on what great TV is all about: meaningful writing, strong characters, justice and a beautiful helicopter. I loved the music and the drama. I found my- self drawn to the TV set every Saturday night when Airwolf was on CBS. Some episodes were better than others but none of them disappointed me. I wanted the show to go on forever. Of course that is unrealistic. Still, when I met the helicopter in Van Nuys, CA in 1986 I was so honored and overwhelmed. "The Lady" will live in my heart forever.

View MoreThis is my all time favorite. Borgnine and Vincent gives a really good acting in this tv show. Bellisario has created this master piece. The best tv show ever. Jan-Michael vincent rules.Also check out Nightrider and A-team.
View MoreAlthough I'm more of a horror fan than action/adventure, the film and classic T.V. series "Airwolf" was more than enough to keep me entertained. The acting was excellent by David Hemmings, Ernest Borgnine and Jan-Michael Vincent, who happens to be one of my favourite actors.Considering it was made in 1984, the effects are impressive. Watching it, you actually believe that this super chopper can fly faster than mach 1. My favourite section has to be at the end, in the showdown between Moffat and Hawke, seeing though Moffat has just killed Hawke's girlfriend, you can understand why he unloads 6-7 hellfires that blows Moffat sky high!.This is a must see movie and T.V. series, in my opinion it is simply irreplacable. Outclasses "Knight Rider" not because of more action, better effects and a better and more believable storyline (although these are factors), but because David Hasselhoff is probably one of the worst actors I have ever seen. If you haven't seen the episode in "Knight Rider" titled "Goliath" or "Goliath Returns" then these are a must see. Michael Knight's twin brother which is just Hasselhoff with a fake stuck on beard, simply comic genius!!.Movie rating of "Airwolf", 8/10.
View MoreDonald Bellisario the man who created Battlestar Galactica and Magnum PI, and later Quantum Leap, thought of this great action TV movie, which spawned a mega-hit show. The story runs that Dr. Moffet (David Hemmings) has created a super helicopter which with the help of thrusters can fly faster than a jet fighter, is equipped with twin machine guns, multiple rocket launchers, and Sunbursts to evade heat seeking missiles. Unfortunately he is a bit evil, and defects to the Libyans, taking his creation with him. Michael 'Archangel' Briggs (Alex Cord) the chief of a highly secretive organisation, the Firm, needs someone to go into Libya and bring back Airwolf. He turns To Stringfellow Hawke (Jan-Michael Vincent in the role which made him tv's highest paid actor), a former Vietnam pilot, who agrees after much negotiating. A top piece of TV entertainment, and the preface to one of the most successful shows of the 1980s.
