Helicopters were so cool in the 80s.

I thought Airwolf was a fever dream I had as a child? It was real‽

Fucking christ I’m glad I don’t live in the 80s…
They call it in, and Murphy decides to show Lymangood something interesting. They fly over to nearby Encino, which is outside their patrol area. At 9:30PM, Lymangood is able to observe a very flexible young woman doing some amazing yoga moves in the nude. Unfortunately, they are interrupted. That “abandoned car” they spotted earlier was not abandoned.

Dude, that would 100% happen when you give cops surveillance tools. Not showing that in movies is actually less realistic.
80s movies were so much more sexploitative. But this scene is just accurate.

I wonder how much of that behavior is because it was viewed as acceptable behavior through things like its portrayal in this movie? Media shapes culture shapes media is an argument, but “it’s realistic” isn’t a good reason to perpetuate normalizing the behavior since clearly society has shifted away from that kind of representation of casual sexual harassment as being acceptable.

It’s really wild that the main characters had the weird habit of ending up in aerial combat every week as civilians.
Not once in my 43 years have I felt the need to ascend in my battle helicopter to save the day.
