Helicopter Movie Cliches

[KBayDog]

@Kbay... I don't know what to tell you. I don't know how you're going to be able to study for HAC and watch all those movies on cruise. You might as well DOR now.

Are the DOR and TTO policies in effect on AW, too?

BTW, I've already got a plan for that - I'll just make sure that my boat crosses east over the date line whenever I feel I need an extra day of preparation for an eval.

(Or an extra day to catch up on "24" )

In that case, you've got to check out Rules of Engagement. They have these magical aircraft that are Phrogs when they load the Marines and depart the boat, but then mysteriously transform into Chinooks enroute and at the LZ.

Friggin' amazing.

Don't forget the UH-1n'S that turn into single engine hueys somewhere between the boat and the beach. At least they got the markings somewhat right... West coast HMM for an East Coast MEU?!?

As for Heartbreak Ridge, I forgot about that one... Haven't seen it in a while.

Negative. Great movie. Best role Mario VanPeebles has ever had.

Charlie don't surf

I love the Helos in the "Charlie don't surf" scene in Apocalypse now.

Easily one of the greatest movie appearances by helos ever.

Even has a tiny appearance of R. Lee Ermey as one of the little bird drivers.

"earned yourself a case of beer for that one"

I do agree

Mario Van Peebles and the obligatory military/homoerotic bathroom scene not withstanding, I disagree.

 

[Steve Wilkins]

Jesus dude, IT'S A MOVIE.

Would you say the same about Annapolis?

Concur, Eastwood is among my favorites and while he has made some questionable movies (anything with that orangutan), his character in HR is pure Clint.

Oh, his character is great, but the movie is pure shite.

Which week of TBS do they teach you how to charge a machine gun position using a Bulldozer?

And what % get Bulldozers?
