Synopsis:

An excellent film which became a good tv series. An armed helicopter is used by the police to patrol LA and gets involved in federal corruption. The helicopter stunts are breathtaking, in particular the chase through the streets and drainage system. This is a film I wish I could have worked on as the helicopter stunts of flying between buildings and under bridges is something I've always wanted to do. The film was made in the 80's, before many of the surveilance cameras became commonplace on police choppers.

Points of Interest to Film Studies Students:

Personal View:

I liked this series becouse it tries to be technically accurate with its equipment, including onboard camera shots.

Misc. Notes:
