Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The men from UNCLE are at it again.Taken from year four when most say the UNCLE series was dead, The Helicopter Spies turns out to be the most colourful UNCLE movie of the eight films. Some of the dialogue from Bradford Dillman is outstanding and Robert Vaughn as Solo is cool as always.Who could not like a film where Carol Lynley turns to the bad guy and says "I think you guys are strange, really strange".The whole cast totally shines, this might even be my favourite UNCLE movie together with: To Trap A Spy.Don't be turned off by this being just a two-part TV episode re-edited into a movie, this has a nice feature film feel about it.

I completely agree that this is the best of the U.N.C.L.E. movies. I especially like the sequence when Napoleon Solo descends a rope ladder dangling from a helicopter onto a moving train to disconnect the freight car holding a rocket. It's actually two segments--Robert Vaughn hanging from a mock-up at the MGM studios and a stuntman (whose face is never seen) doing the actual stunts on a moving train in the Sierras. The sequence is so well photographed and edited that it's nigh-well impossible to tell that it was actually filmed in two different locations with two different actors. But my question is: how do U.N.C.L.E. fans rank the U.N.C.L.E. films? From best to worst?

Some episodes of this show have dated badly but this two-parter is still pacy and highly entertaining. U.N.C.L.E. is pitted against, not one, but two megalomaniac supervillains intent on world domination. When the first one perishes, the other takes over (sort of like a relay race). Bradford Dillman is great fun as the pompous baddy, the ultimate failure of his plans greeted with a hopeless shrug by his ageing guru (John Carradine). The climax is typical race-against-time stuff but is staged and scored with great energy. Recommended!

This has got all my favourite bits and quotes in it. The disciples of The Third Way doing a mini-skirted dance to a psychedelic 60's back drop. Mr Waverly doing his usual stilted delivery probably from queue cards. The MFU series always had great villains. Who could forget Jack Palance yelling "Miss Diketon!" And constantly wiping everything with a hanky before use? Here the underrated Bradford Dillman (the 'legend in his own mind' Briggs in the Dirty Harry films) gives his all as Alexander. He's about to end the world when he gets an unctuous call from his wife. "I guess everybody knows now, my wife just doesn't understand me" he says. Another favourite is "I like the way you said that, it gives an air of efficiency. Keep it up!" Another villain in a top secret bunker is having women problems as well. "Never trust a women whose always on time, it's always a sign of a much deeper problem" he muses. Carol Lynley sums up the whole opus while about to be fiendishly drowned: "You know, you people are really strange!" But the minor serfs have their moments too. Napoleon Solo has his hair dyed white so as to infiltrate the disciples of The Third Way and the leader takes a shine to him. They are about to embark upon a crazed mission to steal a nuclear missile."You'll still have to ride in the back with the others, I can't show favouritism" he tells Solo. They are convened at a cafe owned by the leader's mother. "Ma, soon I'll be able to take you away from all this" he tells her tenderly. "But I like it here" the old rat bag protests. "Yeah, I know, ma" the leader replies, shaking his head wearily and walking off to his destiny leaving the camera to track into ma's face to deliver her immortal line:"Creeps!"
