“He checks his sanity with a wristwatch?”

“Sure, what do you use? A dipstick?”

What am I on about?

How about the best 80s cop/action movie featuring a lead character called Murphy, that wasn’t Robocop, and the best Roy Scheider film that didn’t end with an exploding shark?

Clearly there is only one thing I could be on about…

Blue Thunder

The classic 1983 film about a combat helicopter adapted for law enforcement, starring the aforementioned shark killer, Malcolm “ultra-violence” McDowell and Daniel “easily defeated by a child” Stern.

Blue Thunder and its spin-off TV series pre-dated the other helicopter show Airwolf, which was, frankly, rubbish.

The movie itself was one of the films that I used to get from the video shop all the time as a kid, mainly because they had a crap selection of films. Its so rare for it to be shown on TV, that I had to post about it. Thanks Five US!

If you don’t remember it… watch the trailer…

As part of my continuing mission to undermine the credibility of Facebook,

I present the event “International Talk Like Jeremy Clarkson Day“.

April 11th 2009.

Let us see how many people sign up for this…

These days it is very rare to find me with a bird on my arm. Mainly because i’m fat, old, grey haired and ugly.

This is about the best bird I can get to come anywhere near me.
