The making of Blue Thunder the movie. By: Dave Herbert

[MultiRick2011]

WOW! I can remember standing outside looking at the Blue Thunder movie poster ,

I could not wait to see that movie. It is neat to know you had a part in making it.

Dave This Making of video deserves way way more views,thats one of my favorite movies and it boosted my love for helis over the top you guys did a fantastic job on those effects.

[JohnnyJV52]

Were you wearing your rollerskates during the shoot Dave? Lol... Man what a cool experience!

[PHeMoX]

I always thought you were piloting one of the RC helicopters, but this video is great. I always like these behind the scenes videos showing how things were done.

[Istenenergia]

I saw this film on hungarian tv some decades ago, very good movie and interesting to see now how it was made. good job dave, as always

[ThomasEddySon]

I can't say how many times I've watched "Blue Thunder" but it's one of those films that never grows old, I've probably seen it more times than some have seen Star Wars - excellent work Dave and thanks for the entertainment on both big & small screens.

[AndoAus1]

I've said it before and you're forcing me to say it again Dave....

You never cease to amaze me. Just when I think you've run out of surprises you pull another one out of your sleeve!

Great work as usual.

[SuperHIvolt]

I saw the movie back then when it came out. Didn't know you had something to do with it. Nice video, thanks for showing it to us.

[SlyDawg951]

Wow! Nice to know people that are in the background of movies doing the real work Nice Job Dave.

[CoolKD2005]

Cool Dave, I saw this movie for the first time in the late 80's. I was just a little kid back then, but always thought that the Blue Thunder heli was so cool. Was also a big fan of the TV show too. Nice work Dave ;)

[just4playin1]

I loved this movie as a kid. If I remember correctly he lands the helicopter on the train tracks and lets it get hit by a freight train to destroy it. I remember being mad and yelling that he destroyed Blue Thunder and my mother telling me that what he was doing was protecting the people. Told me that in the wrong hands Blue Thunder would be a machine of evil used against the people.

[AceMcMoron]

Lol, I clearly remember that movie as one of the highlights of my childhood! I did wonder how they did that loop, and we had some hefty debates in school whether Blue Thunder existed or not... Of course, those guys who believed Kit really could jump, believed all the features of Blue Thunder :)

Great vid Dave, thanks for sharing!

[fogster31]

dave your the man !!!!! loved watching this.

[valtarys]

When you put so much energy and love into an RC plane or helicopter it my be painful to watch them blow up. It takes a special kind of mind set to not suffer through those clips and not feel a pinch. ;-)

[cbureriu]

Outstanding

[oysterlicker]

Irresponsible cop, directing missile to hit building with civilians inside.

He should've sacrificed himself to save more people.. *lmao*

[raptor3dpilot]

Awesome video Dave!! I definitely need to go rent that movie again and watch it over and over. Hmmm maybe it's on NetFlix!

[MaXG65]
