Capricorn One (1978) - Stephen Hawkin's Honest Review - Hagfilms

[...continued from last]

And I love the bi-plane/helicopter chase! It made me think of Star Wars when I first saw it in '78--except for a real canyon instead of a trench and buzzing 'copters and a dogfighter instead of X-Wings and TIEs--because it's so excellent. It still looks great even now hehehe

Blue Thunder [1983] SHOULD have had aerial-photography nearly as good and impressive as that sequence did hehehe (but didn't hehehe and that movie wasn't as good as Capricorn One anyway hehehe)

@WinstonSmith6079 - i used to love the love the film, but when i watched it recently, this is what i thought. i actually used the helicopter chase scene in my Stupidest scenes in film - i thought it was ridiculous with matey hanging off of the plane... but oh, well, thanks for the comments. Feel free to disagree with me anytime haha

Nah! Seems to me you're expecting too much out of the film, should lighten-up a bit on it.

It's no Hitchcock thriller, but it is a fun, not-too-heavy popcorn movie that delivers solid and genuine entertainment all the way around, as Peter Hyams was quite consistent in doing in those good old movie days hehehe

yeah i think you are convoluted.

@Dover0486 Hey, hey, man! Have a little respect, eh? It's Stephen Hawking, not just another YouTube jackoff, see.

Just because you disagree with his review doesn't mean you gotta disrepect him too.

I also disagree, but I don't gotta think less of him just for THAT! Ah, man!
