Movie Reviews of Airwolf: Season Two
Movie Review: Airwolf... At last!
Summary: 5 Stars
I hear so many people say 80s television was nothing but junk. Especially when talking about sitcoms this is true... full of beautiful people thin stories, and cars exploding at the drop of a hat.
There are some exceptions!
1> Stingray
2> Miami Vice
3> Airwolf
On the surface, Airwolf was a rip-off of BLUE THUNDER. With a few changes... They hired above average actors, spent GOOD money altering an actual helicopter (Bell 222, adding a second door, and the fake weapons)... and all the weapons that I remember the copter having were believable.
The thing I liked most about the series was the characters. Even in the pilot, the copter was shown very little, the people were most important.
Hawke had an almost empathic understanding of the `copter, he just didn't trust people.
Santini was probably as good as Hawke, when he was younger. Now he is Hawke's only friend, and father figure.
Archangel couldn't be trusted in or out of your sight. I liked his character because you never knew what he was going to do... or if this was the day he would try to stab the heroes in the back.
The copter wasn't a gimmick to get people to watch the program like the other advanced-hardware programs (KNIGHT RIDER, STREET HAWK, BLUE THUNDER, VIPER). All these programs ended because people got bored with the gimmick... KNIGHT RIDER lasted a bit longer than the others because they kept changing the beautiful mechanic that would fix the car. AIRWOLF ended because one of the stars had a personal issue that was wrecking the shooting schedule.
The only place where I think the show is lacking is the aerial combat. Even in the early 80s, it was too expensive to do good model shots, so most of the time they reused old footage of airplanes/copters exploding. Seeing the same shot over and over is one of the things that killed another Bellisario production BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
Movie Review: My two cents....
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but to say that there probably won't be a huge fan following? Well, let me correct you, there is a GIANORMOUS fan following, just look online at all the fan sites & forums, all the obsessed fans out there! I'm glad that they put this on video but the downside is that some footage was cut compared to the original airing. This sometimes takes away from the show, especially if I KNOW there used to be a scene that's no longer there! The ppl who put these together REALLY should've kept ALL 3 season's episodes intact! Example: I keep seeing scenes on the intro preview or closing credits that wasn't in the video iteself as well as I know, pretty much, each episode by heart from way back when so I know if/when something goes missing. The only thing about these episodes is the editing. I keep finding editing mistakes & 'bloopers' for lack of a better word which makes it seem kinda rediculous because the editors SHOULD've caught that; but other than that, IMO, the series w/Jan COULD'VE & probably WOULD've lasted longer than 3 seasons if he had put his person issues aside & just done his job but he didn't & I'm just glad that they FINALLY released all three seasons now. I DID notice, however, on the season 1 case, there are scenes on the backside which include the season 4 cast which is a REALLY really stupid thing to have done, in fact, I find it QUITE insulting. In conclusion, GET the dvds. If you love Airwolf, GET the dvds! I watch the episodes over & over, drooling over Jan & the Lady! I never get tired of this show!Movie Review: AIRWOLF - Season 2 "Finally, Its Coming ...."
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally, Its coming !!!! Ever since the release of Season 1, I was eagerly expecting Season 2 to come out in the next 6 months to a year, but to take nearly 2 years to release Airwolf - Season 2, it is ridiculous !!!! I'm sure that Universal should release Seasons 3 and 4 on DVD very soon.
Airwolf was the most technologically brilliant show of all time - and it was truly ahead of its time. A fast, black, Mach 1.1+ attack helicopter with retractable chain guns, hell fires, turbo thrusters, infra-red imaging, etc. would be an incredible addition to U.S. military. The flying Airwolf helicopter was in actuality a Bell 222 or a Bell 222B. A retractable rocket launcher, known as the "ADF Pod" (ADF standing for All Directional Firing, as the pod could rotate 360 degrees to fire at targets at the sides and rear of the copter) on its belly. It is a show that when you watch it, you think to yourself, why didn't the U.S. military build such attack helicopters in large numbers. It is an awesome show to watch.
Even now, I'm excited at the thought of purchasing Airwolf - Season 2. I recommend this show for anyone looking for a great 80's Action TV series. I'll rate this DVD set 5 stars.
Movie Review: Finally, Season 2 is coming to DVD!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
After months and years of waiting, it is finally coming! Ever since the release of Season 1, Airwolf fans such as myself have only grown more hungry for the next couple seasons. Myself and many others, I'm sure, actually signed an online petition begging Universal to release Season 2 on DVD. I'll be the first to sign for Season 3 when the time comes.
Airwolf was the most brilliant show of all time - and it was truly ahead of its time. Even today, a slick, black, Mach 1+ attack helicopter with retractable chain guns, rocket pods, turbo thrusters, infra-red imaging, etc. would be an incredible addition to our military. This show stands apart from others because instead of a man being the hero, it is a machine. It is a show that when you watch it, you think to yourself, I've got to get one of those - and you sit in awe, salivating, as you watch it in action.
Even now, I'm salivating at the thought of purchasing Season 2. I recommend this show for anyone looking for a great 80s action series. I would give it 4 thumbs up if I could. Instead I'll give it 5 stars.
Movie Review: Still a great show!
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the last year, I've been borrowing my Dad's copy of the first season of Airwolf. Watching it sure brought back memories of the 80's. Well, for our anniversary, my wife ended up giving me season 2. I don't recall seeing all of the episodes in season 2, so it's been fun to continue to experience the world of Airwolf. While I'm still not done watching the season, there definitely have been some good, classic episodes.
One of my favorites so far is about another "super" helicopter called the HX-1 that was stolen. It didn't look quite as cool as Airwolf, but definitely had some of its same capabilities (especially weaponry). It, of course, is stolen, so Hawk and Dom are expected to go and "take care of it." I'm not going to spoil the rest of it, but definitely a good show.
With this season, Airwolf obviously continues to grow. The premise is typically the same for most episodes, but with the addition of characters in season 2, it still makes it worth your while.
