Blue Thunder Page #4

It's a hell of a setup.

Let me show you.

It goes in a locked memory bank

here in the belly.

Each reel is code-numbered.

This little bug erases the tape on

a signal from Central Command.

The tape's gotta be inside

the case to erase.

It only erases in the case?

That's great.

Adjust for your eye until the red

dot rides on your tracer line.

Then press the cannon button and zap!

Where you look is where you hit.

Sunshine! Just blew your

gizzard away.

What's all this sh*t I hear

about you threatening Cochrane?

Thank you, sergeant.

What?

In the police garage.

After your crack-up.

Feeling a little hostility?

I told him to back off, that's all.

That's all? Well, it's enough.

They don't care if you kill yourself.

They got $5 million in this aircraft.

They don't want to see it totalled.

Some kind of bullshit.

If you want my opinion...

...l think the feds are after your ass.

Better watch it.

Okay, thanks.

Matusek? How do you control

the oscillation of the quartz?

It's the difference between the output

of the generator signals. See?

Hey, Jafo. This isn't

any night school.

We got a test flight

to make out there.

-Good night.

-Good night, kid. Take it easy.

-Big Brother, on or off?

-What's Big Brother?

The cabin mike.

It records everything we say.

I think we can lose that.

I got the fuse right here.

Get your hat off those

circuit breakers.

Tell me what JAFO is.

I'm putting the fuse here.

You'll find out. Just be patient.

Night vision. Checked, okay.

Target systems checked, okay.

Let's see what's on HBO tonight.

Blue Thunder requests

permission for takeoff.

Blue Thunder, Tower unable to issue

departure clearance at this time.

This isn't a very good idea.

He hasn't even got clearance.

It's just an orientation flight.

Holmes is arriving tonight.

Let him take care of it.

-What do you want?

-Clear him.

Blue Thunder, Tower.

Wind 330 degrees at 1 5.

Clear for takeoff.

Let's hope he knows what he's doing.

How does she fly?

It's nose-heavier than the ayatollah.

-You're crazy. This stuff's great.

-Great, huh?

Let's see what this turkey's got.

Let's go!

Orbit right. Orbit right.

You gotta hear this.

I wondered if you know where a guy

could get something good to eat.

It depends on what a guy's

hungry for. Know what I mean?

I'm going to video.

A little sushi would be nice.

-Sushi?

-Remember the last time we did this?

Try the zoom.

Zoom, right.

Seventy-five?

Are we talking about American money?

We certainly are.

Come on, lady. You know--

Look at this. Hot Chihuahua!

Honey, that's a little steep.

I want it! I want it!

Let's lose this a**hole.

He's breaking my heart.

Come on. We gotta go to work.

Bye-bye.

I dig this police work.

Yeah. You're breathing heavy.

All right, here goes the whisper mode.

Whisper mode.

That's a check.

Hey, that's smooth!

Forest Lawn.

Check this place here at 3:30.

Is that a state cycle in the driveway?

-That's highway patrol.

-Can you make the license?

Can you bring it around?

That's 221 Bravo 6.

I know that cycle.

Jack Moran. Double Dork.

Double Dork?

Try that thermograph.

Thermograph.

Cutting in thermograph.

Coming in.

The motor looks hot.

It hasn't been there too long.

-Want me to see if the owner's home?

-Sure. Can we do it?

That guy, Matusek,

he cleared me this morning.

It'll do everything

but cook your breakfast.

H-23.

H-23.

Let's see, the house is right here.

-She's there!

-How does the computer know?

They clear it with their

security patrol...

...and then they zap it right to us.

Let the good times roll!

Not yet. Not yet.

I'm not ready!

Stupid putz!

Sounds like Double Dork

is missing a step or two.

-We recorded all this?

-It's all on tape.

Locked in the memory

in the belly.

I think old Double Dork's

entitled to a quickie. Don't you?

Absolutely.

Can you erase that tape?

The memory bank's locked,

but I can get in.

Good.

Hears through walls,

fires 4000 rounds a minute...

...and peeks down dresses at

1 000 feet. Jesus Christ!

This terminal here is hooked

into every data bank that there is.

1 2 of these and you

could run the country.

Watch this.

I feed it my name, right?

They got your whole life in here.

Hit mine.

Murphy...

...Frankie.

File under repair?

Did you break your file?

That's weird.

Special Base to Blue Thunder.

Blue Thunder.

-It's a wrap tonight. Come on home.

-10-4.

I'd better get going.

You'd better go too, Mr. Fletcher.

I'll come along there when he's in.

Blue Thunder, wind 270 degrees at 12.

Blue Thunder to base,

final approach.

Altimeter, two-niner-niner-five.

Cleared to land.

Does Cochrane drive a grey Corvette?

Yeah. Why?

Check 9:
00.

He's in some kind of hurry.

Listen. Check Cochrane out.

On the computer?

I'm gonna tag along.

Blue Thunder, this is Tower.

Do you copy?

ls there a problem?

That's Cochrane, F.E., U.S. Army.

F.E. What's F.E. stand for?

" F*** Everybody."

Gnarly!

We're almost there.

This is Tower. Do you copy?

Base, you're coming in garbled.

Can't read you.

I got Washington.

Go for it.

Cannot read you, Special Base.

Still garbled.

Blue Thunder, come in.

Do you read me?

Breaking up, Special Base.

Can't read you. Still garbled.

Here it comes.

"Sole survivor"? ls he kidding?

" Project Thor." Wait.

Find out what that is.

Request information:

Thor Project.

I got it. Here it comes.

"Tactical Helicopter

Offensive Response."

Offensive Response?

What does that mean?

Washington's jerking us around.

They've got bigger plans for this.

Blue Thunder, you will acknowledge.

Oh, sh*t!

Blue Thunder to Special Base--

Oh, sh*t!

He's going in there.

Where are we?

-Federal Building.

-Really?

Wanna see what's going on?

Certainly.

Here goes the whisper mode.

You get anything?

I just had a good shot of

some guys emptying trash.

Can't use it.

Goddamn it to hell!

What's going on out there?

I'm holding you responsible

for that man's behaviour.

Dr. Haycock strongly recommended

he be grounded.

For your information, Mr. Icelan...

...there are no paranoid

schizophrenics on duty here.

He checks his sanity with

his wristwatch!

What do you check yours with?

A dipstick?

I don't have to take crap from you.

He's finished as of now.

If there's a scratch

on that aircraft, so are you.

Try the thermograph.

I told you it was cool.

Lovely, lovely!

-Park here.

-I'll bring it around.

I got something!

-It locked!

-Yeah. Hold it, hold it.

I still fail to understand.

The Astro Division is autonomous.

The man was assigned to us.

-McNeely complicated it.

-Fletcher!

I can't say you people have

covered yourselves with glory so far.

If she hadn't started shouting,

we wouldn't have had to rough her up.

Rough her up?

Is that a euphemism

for "assassination"?

She had street informants,

and she'd made the connection...

...between our project

and the trouble in the streets.

She was going public, on the record.

Who are these other guys?
