Feel the Thunder


Quien es mas macho? Roy Schieder o Jan-Michael Vincent?

Initial plot synopsis for 'Blue Thunder' motion picture from Wikipedia:

The film revolves around Frank Murphy, a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) helicopter pilot-officer and troubled Vietnam War veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Amid a family and employment crisis, he is selected to pilot the world's most advanced helicopter, nicknamed "Blue Thunder", which is essentially a military style combat helicopter supposedly intended for police use as a surveillance platform and for large crowd control and riot missions. With powerful armament, stealth technology that allows it to fly virtually undetected, and other accouterments (such as infrared scanners, powerful microphones and cameras, and a U-Matic VCR), Blue Thunder appears to be a formidable tool in the war on crime that the LAPD readily accepts.


Here's my question? Which is better? A loner in the mountains with a cello and a paint brush? Or a Vietnam Vet-turned cop with PTSD? Tough call.
