"Blue Thunder" has some really cool moments but, at the end of the day, it's just too silly to take seriously. It's probably the best R rated movie every made for 12 year old boys. It has the feeling of a movie that was rushed into production. The studio was looking for a big summer hit. The script needed more development. The good guys are okay but the villains are cookie cutter bad guys. That said, "Blue Thunder" is an okay time killer with a nice cast and some good action scenes. Honorable mention: a dreamy Candy Clark.
