That's all real now. So we can't talk about it.

16:55 "I think that *is* a T-72." That's why I still 100% love this movie. It was made in 1984. T-72s didn't _exist_ in the western world, and even if they did they certainly weren't available for movie sets. That's actually an M48 Patton tank, visually modified to resemble a (then new) T-72. It was supposedly so effective that after the tanks were spotted being trucked through town, the producers got a visit from some CIA agents who wanted to know how they'd got their hands on Soviet tanks. EDIT: And yes, the "Hind" was also a vismod, played by the French Puma helicopter.

I was coming here to make this comment. They were dressed up Pumas and the same for the T-72 as you said. I would also add the ZSU-23-4 and the BRDM-2. I’ve always found it fascinating that they did such a good job that the CIA actually thought they had Soviet equipment.

The fact that the Apache community hates Firebirds is a testimony to almost every military movie ever made vs those that served in those communities. This Bubblehead is looking at you Crimson Tide

Loved this one, "Butch hovers like that" was the best line ever. So hilarious. My brother served in the Night Stalker's. I've been to the Ft Campbell flight line for his Change of Responsibility ceremony and his son is currently serving with them at Hunter in the Blackhawks. Got some pictures in the Chinook with the mini-gun and the '60. My time in service wasn't so cool as my brothers. Also love me some Original Red Dawn. Epic life influencing movie for any child of the 80's and 90's.

Exactly right. AS332's with bolt on wings. Fastest giveaway is the side by side cockpit, whereas the Hind actually has a cockpit setup like the Cobra/Apache, with pilot/gunner in trail, and the chin mounted moveable cannon. They did the same with the "Hind" in Rambo movies...

@@Theduckwebcomics that's not entirely correct. The Hind-A had a "greenhouse" style cockpit with the big windows all around, yes, BUT, the pilot still sat at the rear (interestingly offset to the portside) while the gunner sat up front in the nose. It was a hybrid side-by-side/tandem setup that was subsequently scrapped for the pure tandem layout widely known.

I was stationed at Ft Hood when Fire Birds was filmed. They used our stuff (2AD Avn Bde) for the filming. Got to meet Tommy Lee Jones & Nicholas Cage. Great guys. Had a blast while they were there.

The Apache might be super cool but the Cobra old as it is, is still cool. Anything with a gatling gun is cool, even with only 3 barrels.

As a SAR helo pilot I honestly find what these guys do absolutely incredible!

These guys are great! Funny without trying to be. Just genuine good dudes 🤣👍

I still love Fire Birds. I remember playing the Strike games for Genesis where you fly a Apache. Hell yeah.

How can it be that Airwolf was not among these

Oh hell yea....was in high school when Red Dawn came out... we all knew what we were gonna do head for the Bradshaw mountain north of Phoenix and... give the Ruskies and Cubas a whatfer!!! We still talk about that movie!

Red Dawn rules. Tomorrow when the war began is an Australian movie similar in concept and should be checked out by all fans of Red Dawn.

They need to add Black Hawk Down no questions asked one of the best Helicopter movies there is.

The Red Dawn helicopters were modified Puma's. They added 4 feet to the front to make them look like the Hines. There's a scene in the movie we're it turning and you can see the real windscreen.

Heck yeah!!! Red dawn is a must watch. We all were playing war as kids getting ready for that day

I'm disappointed no blue thunder no airewolf no black hawk down 😂

when you do these Short movie clips make sure you use people that knows what they are talking about. Like the clip from Mission Impossible with the 2 helicopters one was a AS350B3e Astar and the other was a BK117 D1.The helicopters in Red Dawn were 2 AS332 Super Pumas that were modified.

Hoping that Richard will one day make content for Full Mag again.

Red Dawn was SOOO realistic except that when they shot the RPG in the hallway at the high school, you could see the line that the pyrotechnics flew on I believe lmao

@14.03 Tommy Lee Jomes has on a set of Nomex flight gloves. I joined the Army in '08 and was issued an identical pair and I have a couple pair still to this day. This film was relesed in 1990 and not many items, especially clothing you get issued from the government will last a decade.

WHAT??? No A-TEAM HUEY GOING COLD CLIP?!!! You’re fired

Those "Hinds" are mocked up Aérospatiale SA 330 Pumas. I know this because I am an expert at Googling stuff.

Red Dawn (1984) first movie I saw while in Basic Training at Ft. Knox

I think calm cool and collected as soon as they we're simulating. Outta would be a better way. Cool heads win it.

Cousin flew Hueys and Loaches in Nam. Got shot up pretty bad flying back to the 25th Div. base at Cu Chi dodging rain shafts for the CO. Heard three bangs, the third was the bullet that dug into his thigh, chewed up bone, exited and was in the waistband of his underwear. He also flew Cobras, but not in combat.

In Europe, "Fire Birds" was called "Wings of the Apache", and i probably watched that movie 100+ times on VHS as a kid! I thought the simulator scene was the coolest thing ever! 🤦

These 2 are a crack up !

"this is the worst Apache movie" I say the same thing about the Hurt Locker being Prior EOD

16:40 - See my first response would be that he is quoting "The Longest Day".

I feel bad fighter jet pilots got Top Gun and attack helicopter pilots got firebirds. They deserved better!!!
