Here they come,
ladies and gentlemen--

The Snowbirds,

the world-famous Canadian
precision flying team.

Like their American
counterparts,
the Blue Angels,

this ace Canadian team
is noted...

for perfectly coordinated
formation flying--

[ Man Continues, Indistinct ]

...and Dutch rolls.

The Royal Canadian Air Force
has a long and glorious history,

dating back to those
bitter World War I dogfights,

where the Canadian ace,
Billy Bishop,

took on the Red Baron,
von Richthofen,
in the skies over France.

We salute our good neighbors
to the north--
[ Shutter Clicks ]

and we're delighted
they could be here
to perform for us today.

Watch your head.
How about a kiss?

Thank you.
Bye. Bye-bye.

That's quite a bird, son.

Best there is.
Amazing machine, sir.

I'd re-up right now
if I had a chance to fly
a bird like this.

You're a lucky fella.
Don't forget it.

I won't, sir.
Thank you.

[ Airplanes Passing Overhead ]

[ Shutter Clicking ]

And coming in for their final
pass, ladies and gentlemen,

the Snowbirds,
the world-famous Canadian
precision flying team.

Man, that's some
flyin', huh, Frank?

They don't come better
than those guys.

[ Man On P.A. ]
And how about that, folks?

Let's let the Snowbirds
know we enjoyed
the show, huh?

[ Crowd Applauding ]

[ Man On P.A. ]
While we are waiting
for the next attraction,

we remind you of our
display of unique aircraft,

featuring the famed
Blue Thunder helicopter.

Now all of the aircraft
are located adjacent
hangar number two.

[ Airplane Passing Overhead ]

Do you know what
that plane's doing here?

It's not on my schedule.

That Cessna
you see overhead,

ladies and gentlemen,
is not part of our
regular schedule.

So we'd like to invite you
at this time to visit our
antique aircraft display.

[ Crowd Gasping, Murmuring ]

[ Man On P.A. ]
Well, it looks like
an unannounced skydiver.

Who is that guy?

I don't know. Nobody filed
any jump permits.

[ Murmuring ]

Whoever he is,
he'd better open
his chute soon.

Oh, man.

Come on, fella.

[ Crowd Murmuring, Gasping ]

[ Woman ] No! Oh, no!
\h\h\h\hGet the emergency equipment
\h\h\h\hready. And clear the area.

[ Woman Screams ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCome on, fella.

- [ Crowd Shouting ]
- Open it.

[ Woman Gasps ]
[ Crowd Applauding ]

That sure looks like fun.

Huh.

What is that
supposed to mean?

You, jumpin' out
of an airplane?

What's so funny about that?

Man, it would take
a parachute the size
of a circus tent...

to get you down
in one piece.

Hi.

I'm Gretchen Terrell.
This must be Blue Thunder.

Yes, it is.
I'm Frank Chaney, the pilot.

I've heard all about this
incredible helicopter.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Ski Clears Throat ]
Oh, yes. Um--

Federal agents
Butowski, Kelsey--

Hi. I've heard all about
you two guys also,

long before there was
a Blue Thunder.

You guys must be
the greatest
football players ever.

Well, uh, thank you,
ma'am.

We sure did enjoy
your parachute jumping.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah, that was unreal.

Hey, you should
try it sometime.
You'd love it.

Oh, uh, maybe.

Well, he gets a little
weird with heights.

I am not!
I'd enjoy it!

Well, Mr. Chaney,
I'm a qualified instructor.

I'll give you guys lessons
if you'll give me a--
a ride in Blue Thunder.

There you are.
You're in very serious
trouble, young lady.

You didn't file
a jump permit
for that little stunt.

Oh, but of course I did.
Why, I have it with me
right now.

You didn't file it
with our office.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOh, no, no.

There must be some
foul-up in the paperwork.

Look, why don't we sit down
and talk about this?
I'm sure we can work it out.

Well, you say
you have it with you?

Mm-hmm.
Don't go away.

I'll be back
for that ride.

Uh--

Wow.
She is gorgeous.

Gutsy too.

\h\h\h\hWhat do you think, Frank?
I think you boys are gonna
take skydiving lessons.

Do what?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSay what?

Boys, I've been
to jump school
when I was in the Rangers,

and it's an opportunity
you shouldn't miss.

It's a kick in the head.
And just to give you guys
the chance,

I'm willing to take
Miss Terrell for a ride
in Blue Thunder.

Skydiving?

Man, you wouldn't
jump out of an airplane.

I'd do it
before you would.

That's a crock.
I'd do it in a minute.

Oh, you would, would you?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah.

Yeah?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah.

I got 50 bucks says I'll jump
out of a plane before you do.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou're on.

Look at all this--
whisper mode,

sensor section,
turbo thrust.

It all sounds
faintly naughty.

Yes, it does, doesn't it?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou carry any guns?
Big one.

A Vulcan cannon.
Take a look.

Very impressive.

I certainly hope so.
Fires 6,000 rounds a minute.

That should get
the job done.

What about this,
this night vision?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCan you really
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hsee at night?
Like owls.

[ Beeping ]

- See that hangar
\h\hon the monitor?
- Yes.

[ Shutter Clicking ]

Wow. Seeing in the dark?

That opens up all kinds
of interesting possibilities.
Don't you think so?

I'm always ready
for opening up
interesting possibilities.

[ Helicopter Whirring ]

Did you learn anything?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI learned that it's one
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hvery tough helicopter.

Well, we got some
problems then.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNo, not at all.

I have it all
figured out.

I know exactly
what we can do.

[ Wonderlove ]
Who-hoo!

Look at those pants.
Must have taken...

a whole herd of cows
to get all that leather.

[ Ski Laughs ]

I like them.

I like them too.
Real nice.

\h\h\hPut him down, Bubba.
\h\h\hMorning, gentlemen.
Morning, sir.

I'm sorry about
the last-minute nature
of this assignment.

It was supposed to be
top secret, but apparently it's
already leaked to the press.

What's it all about,
sir?

Well, it's, uh--
It's kind of a change of pace
for the team, Frank.

What's that supposed
to mean?

Well, they're having
a reception tonight
at the Zamoran embassy,

and Blue Thunder unit
will provide security.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSecurity?

Yes. As you may know,
the Zamoran government has
invited U.S. businesses...

to set up shop
in their country.

First time they've ever
been welcome there.

Captain, Zamora's had
a lot of internal problems--

a leftist revolution,
military coup.

It's virtually
a time bomb, sir.

Well, that's right,
but, see,

the new president
has brought that
under control mostly.

Doesn't it seem like
a bit of overkill,
sending in Blue Thunder?

That just goes to show you
just how important this is
to the U.S. government.

So, Chaney,
you and Wonderlove will be
aloft in Blue Thunder.

Ski, you and Bubba
will provide ground security
inside the embassy...

dressed as guests.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I give you the president
of my beloved country.

Madame Eva Parada.

My fellows Zamorans,

mesdames et messieurs
du corps diplomatique,

and American friends,

I thank you for this
beautiful reception.

And I greet you with joy
and hope in my heart.

We are entering a new era
of cooperation...

between Zamora
and the United States.

We have opened our borders.

And we are making
our rich resources
available to all...

of the worthy corporations
that are represented
here tonight.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIt is my hope--
[ Explosion ]

[ People Screaming ]

Take cover! Take cover!
Stay away from the windows!

[ Man's Voice ]
Attention,
American industrialists.

The revolutionary forces
of Zamora will not tolerate
your presence in our land--

a land that belongs
to the people,

not to Eva Parada
and her wealthy supporters.

Any representative of any
corporation who sets foot
on our soil will be killed.

We have demonstrated
your vulnerability
in the heart of your nation.

What do you think
your chances would be
in Zamora?

Congratulations,
gentlemen.

Great evening's work.

The most sophisticated
surveillance team
in the world,

and somebody walks
right by you,

leaves this, and blows up
half the embassy yard.

Why?

It was my fault, Captain.
I got suckered by a decoy.

Come on, Frank.
That plane seemed like
it was in real trouble.

I don't suppose anybody
bothered to check
the registration numbers.

They were phony.
I checked them out
last night.

And you--
Where the hell were you two
when the sky fell down?

Didn't you see anything?

Well, we both think
the explosives were planted
before we got there.

The embassy staff checked
that place inch by inch
before you got there,

and everybody that went
through the front door
was identified.

Now somebody got to us
real good, gentlemen,
and hear me--

Hear good.
It better not happen
the next time.

- Next time, Captain?
- Yeah.

Even though they did
manage to recreate
the Fourth of July,

the rebel group didn't seem
to scare too many corporations.

In exactly four days,
a group of them are gonna
sign lease agreements...

with Madame Parada,
and, yes, Wonderlove--

Yes, you guessed it.

We will be there.

Then we'll drive them
back into the sea.
We gave our warning.

- They ignored it.
\h\hSo let them come to Zamora.
- [ All ] Yeah! Yeah!

I'm sorry.
I agree with Ricardo--

- especially after
\h\hlast night's fiasco.
- It wasn't a fiasco.

Then how come
six major corporations...

are signing lease agreements
with Eva Parada?

Because the lesson
we gave them
wasn't strong enough.

Look, my place
is at my husband's side.

And you all know that
I would never tell you
how to run the revolution.

But I was born here,

and maybe there are
some things about this country
that are clearer to me.

What things, Gretchen?

Warnings don't work
with American capitalists.

They're like horses
with blinders on.

All they see
are profit margins
and dollar signs.

So unless we take
decisive action right now,

before they go to Zamora,

then everything we've done
has been for nothing.

No more warnings, my friends.

We must kill Eva Parada...

and every corporate
executive who comes
to sign one of her leases.

They'll be protected
by that helicopter.

We drew it off once.
They won't be fooled again.

I know.

That's why we must
kill them too.

The pilot, Chaney,
and every member
of his crew.

to think I was the kind
to welsh on a deal. Uh--

Yeah, that's, uh--
That's terrific.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah, real lucky.
Come on.
I'll drive you out.

Not so fast, Chaney.

I want you and Wonderlove
to take Blue Thunder,

go over to
the Zamoran embassy,
do some spadework.

I just got off the phone
with the people from APEX.

They're very unhappy
about what happened
the other night.

They don't want the situation
to recur, especially since...

nobody can figure out
how the explosives got
on the embassy grounds.

What do they expect us
to do, Captain?

The F.B.I.'s been over
the place with microscopes,
and they've found nothing.

So take Blue Thunder
over there and scan
the place from the air.

And, Chaney, don't come back
till you found something, huh?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYes, sir.

What are these two clowns
dressed like that for?

Guys, I'm sorry.
You're gonna have to make
your jump without me.

No, no.
It wouldn't be as much fun
without you, Frank. Really.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNo fun at all, man.

Look, don't panic, Hector.

We can still get Chaney
and kill madame presidente...

before she has a chance
to sign any of those
lease agreements.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd how do we do that?
Well, I'll keep

you have got to activate
your emergency rip cord.

as soon as I opened it.

It's the same scarf
Gretchen Terrell wore when
she jumped in the air show.

I don't understand.
What was it doing
hanging from a tree?

Captain, she knew we were
riding shotgun over
the embassy that night.

The plane
that was in trouble--

She was the one that set it up
as a decoy to lure us away,
then she parachuted in.

Stowed her gear
in the bag, sent it up
in a helium balloon.

\h\h\h\hSomething must have happened
\h\h\h\hto burst the balloon.
Why, Frank? Why?

What has she got to do
with Zamora?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCaptain, I don't know.

Bubba and Ski are with her
right now. There's no
telling what she might do.

Listen, both of you guys
are doing great.
Really.

You can make
your first jump now.

- [ Both ]
\h\hWhat?
- Well, sure.

All my students make their
first jump the same day
they take ground school.

After all, there's only
so much you can learn
on the ground.

Sooner or later, you, uh--
you have to go... up.

at Markham Airfield.

make their first jumps

Oh, yes.

But in your case, it, uh,
really doesn't matter.

About 5,000 feet up
and right over
the San Gabriels.

Let me talk to them.

Hi, Frank.
We're here, all right.

- Are you okay?
- Well, so far.

[ Gretchen ]
That's enough.

Take down
these numbers, Frank.

118 degrees west
by 34 degrees,
30 minutes north.

Why are you giving me
your location?

Because if you want
your friends, you're going
to have to come and get them.

Bring 'em back safe,
Frank.
\h\h\h\hCome on, JAFO.

All set.
It's on autopilot.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat are you gonna do?
[ Gretchen ] We have
an appointment to keep.

And we really can't
do it from up here.

Hey, wait.
You gonna leave us up here?

[ Gretchen ] That is,
at least until the fuel
runs out in this plane.

And that should be
in about 10 minutes.

Good-bye, suckers.

I think we're in trouble.

You first.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhy me?

Because this was your idea.
You were the one that wanted
to go to parachute school.

Only because you said
I was scared.

So why don't you
waltz right through the door
and show me how it's done?

I can't.

Neither can I!

I almost lost you
over that ridge.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat about the plane?
Armed and ready to go.

Okay. We better get there
before Blue Thunder.
Let's go.

Frank, can't we squeeze
a little more speed
out of this thing?

I'm redlining now, JAFO.
If I go any faster,
I'll burn up.

I took flying lessons once.
Maybe I can land this thing.

How many flying lessons?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOne-- when I was 15.

That might qualify you
for social security,

but it sure doesn't
qualify you to land
this airplane.

We're running low on fuel.
We'll never make it
to an airstrip.

Then I guess we--

Then I guess
we have to jump.

I guess we do.

[ Bubba ]
Bubba to Blue Thunder.
If you read, Blue Thunder,

please communicate
on emergency frequency.

This is Blue Thunder.
I read you loud and clear.
Give me your exact location.

As close as I can figure,
about five miles south
of Hunter's Pass.

Your friend Gretchen
just parachuted out...

- and left us
\h\hwith a Beechcraft.
- Who's flying?

Nobody.
It's on autopilot.

We're parachuting out.
There's nothing you can do.

[ Chaney ]
Are you guys crazy?

You think she's gonna
leave you parachutes
that work?

Forget it.
Now listen to me.

Get on the radio to
Brannon Airfield.

It's near Hunter's Pass.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Bubba ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHow about you doin' it?

They got a guy there
that can do it better.

[ Bubba ] Frank, I believe you.
But I want to check
those chutes first.

[ Chaney ]
JAFO, get Brannon Airfield
for me.

Well?

Unless you're thinking
about waxing your truck,

what's in here ain't gonna
do you too much good.

Turn around.

Oh, man!

Brannon Airfield,
this is Frank Chaney.

Is Chuck Reilly there?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Man On Headset ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThe flight instructor?
Flight instructor Reilly, yes.

Bubba, I still don't think
either one of us can
land this thing...

\h\h\h\hwith one easy radio lesson.
Man, I'm with you.

[ Bubba ]
But you got
any better ideas?

[ Ski ]
No, but--
Yeah, I do.

This is a jump plane.
There's got to be
an extra chute somewhere.

JAFO, get Braddock
on the radio. Tell him
to call the Zamoran embassy.

- I want that place
\h\hevacuated now.
- Right.

There's nothing up front.
Check back there.

All right.

Ahh! It's locked.

Bingo!
I hit pay dirt.

Terrific.
Where's mine?

This is it!

One? One parachute?
What are we supposed to do,
draw lots?

[ Phone Rings ]

\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIt's for you, sir.
Muchas gracias.

Ambassador Marquez
speaking.

[ Braddock ]
Ambassador Marquez,
this is Captain Braddock.

Listen carefully, please.
We have a possible emergency.
\h\h\h\hGo ahead, please.

Now the rebel group
has kidnapped two of my men.

We think it was just
a plan to draw Blue Thunder
away from Los Angeles.

Now our pilot
just radioed in,
and he believes...

someone is going to make
a move on Madame Parada's
life today.

Uh, Madame Parada is upstairs.
She's lying in her bedroom.

Sir, you must get her
ready to leave right now.
I'm sending a police escort.

As soon as it gets there,
I want her out
of that house.

Sí, señor.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou take it.
No!

I said take it!

No! I'd rather die
than have the captain think
I took the last parachute.

Ah, stop trying
to be a hero, will you?

I'm not trying to be a hero!
The truth is,

even if you gave it to me,
I'd probably be
too scared to jump.

I mean it, Ski.
There's no way I can
go out through that door.

[ Engine Sputtering ]

Uh-oh. That's the end
of the fuel.

This is it!

\h\h\h\hWe should have the embassy
\h\h\h\hin sight in six minutes.
Let's just hope we're in time.

\h\h\h\hYou're not mad at me,
\h\h\h\hare you?
Nah, I'm not mad.

[ Engine Sputtering ]

[ Bubba ]
You're all set, Ski--

I think.

You got anything
\hyou want to say?

Tell JAFO that Beatle tape
I borrowed is in my locker.

[ Sputtering Continues ]

Listen, as long as this is,
well, you know, good-bye,

how about being honest
and admit to something?

- What?
- Who was the best tackler
\h\hthat ever played in the NFL?

- I guess you were.
- Okay.

Who did the most holding
of anybody else in the NFL?

I don't know.

Lineman Bubba Kelsey.

That's a lousy
stinkin' lie!

Oh, I hope not.

'Cause I'm tacklin',
and you better hold!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Both Scream ]
[ Bubba ]
Pull the rip cord. Pull it.

[ Ski ]
Let go and give me
some room!

Let go?
You crazy, man?

[ Bubba ]
Oh, dear Lord.

I'll kill you for this.
\h\h\h\hYou are killin' me!
\h\h\h\hYou're gonna kill us both!

I never meant what I said
about you being the best
tackler in the NFL.

- Then who was?
- Lineman Bubba Kelsey.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHa!
"Ha" yourself.

[ Screams ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hDon't do that!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hDon't cover my eyes.
[ Whimpering ]

- [ Beeping ]
- I've got the embassy
\h\hin radar range, Frank.

There's a fast-moving
aircraft approaching it.

I've got it visually now.
It's a fighter plane
of some kind.

Yeah, a T-28 with a bomb
under each wing.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Bomb Whistling ]

[ Sirens Wailing ]

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Tires Screeching ]
[ Shouting, Indistinct ]

Go, you guys!
Get in there! Get those
people out of there!

\h\h\h\hAll right, folks--
Move it now, move it!

[ Woman Shouting ]

They're evacuating
Parada, Hector.

Come on, do something!

[ Screaming ]

Hurry up now!

[ Gretchen ]
Swing back.
Madame Parada's getting away.

We have to make
another run.

What are you waiting for,
Hector? Hit them.

- Hit the target now.
- Here we go.

November 4-niner-3,
this is Blue Thunder.
Do you copy? Do you copy?

What's he doing here?
This is impossible.

Obviously he figured out
your plan.

He's a man who learns
from his mistakes.

[ Chaney ]
Do you copy, niner-3?
Respond immediately.

Hello, Frank Chaney.

I thought you'd be out
watching your friends
make their first jump.

Well, they were
a little nervous, Gretchen.
They didn't want an audience.

Get him!

- [ Machine Gun Fire ]
- [ Bullets Ricocheting ]

[ Gretchen ] Swing back.
Madame Parada's
getting away.

We have to make
another run.

Radio that in, JAFO.

- I'm heading for Bubba
\h\hand Ski.
- Roger.

[ Ski ]
Oh, man!
Quit shaking me!

[ Bubba ] I'm not shaking!
You're the one
that's shaking!

[ Ski ]
Oh--

How's your grip?

The grip's cool.

Oh, man!

Bubba, there's trees!

Yeah, a lot of them.
Slow down.

Get ready!

[ Both Grunt ]

[ Chuckles ]
We landed! We made it!

[ Laughing ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThat was a dirty trick.

What was?

You didn't tackle me.
\hYou blindsided me.

And you would have
been called, as usual,
for unnecessary roughness.

I-I know, I know.
But you gotta admit,

this is the most fun
we've had since we retired!

And to all of you,
the grateful thanks
of the Zamoran government--

and my personal
undying gratitude
as well.

Thank you very much.
We're all deeply honored.

And now, gentlemen,
please,
enjoy yourselves.

\h\h\h\h[ Speaking Spanish ]
Thank you again.

Well, that's
pretty snazzy there.

Yeah, well,
congratulations, gentlemen.
You did a wonderful job.

Real nice.
Captain, I think, uh--

I think most of the credit
should go to Ski and Bubba.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah?

It's a pretty risky thing
they did, leaving that airplane.
Ah, it wasn't nothing.

No, it was a lot
easier than it looks.

You guys did real good.

Well, I guess under
the circumstances you decided
to call off your $50 bet.

Well, no.
Actually, I won the bet.

I was the one that jumped
from the plane.

I know it probably seems
that way, but the truth is,
I won the bet.

I can't see how you could
possibly say that.

Our bet was over who was
the first one to jump
out of the airplane.

Yeah, that's right.
That was me.

\h\h\h\hNow wait, guys.
\h\h\h\hIt's a party. Come on.
Come on, back off.

My body was the first
to exit the cabin.

- He has a point there, Ski.
- Are you kidding me?

I tackled you
out of the plane!

Because I'm taller,
my feet touched
the ground first.

I think your brain
was damaged in the fall.

My brain is in good enough
shape, my man,

to let me know
you're trying to welsh
on the bet.

I am not welshin'
on the bet.
I won the bet!

\h\h\h\h[ Chattering, Indistinct ]
Never mind see my temper.
I won the bet.

You did not win the bet!
