Fire Birds

Rating:
Summary: If you liked Top Gun....
Review: Fire Birds showcases some good actors in roles that fit them well. The character of Jake is classic Nicholas Cage and Tommy Lee Jones shows his usual wit and unique style. The action is great, showing some of the best helicopter air battles in any movie. It was a good film to make as there are plenty that showcase fighter planes, but very few with helicopters. I would recommend Fire Birds to anyone who enjoys either Nicholas Cage, Tommy Lee Jones, Helicopters or just good military based action. It also doesn't hurt that Sean Young portrays a very nice looking pilot herself.

Summary: An Awful TopGun Ripoff
Review: I do not know the laws for copyright infringement, but this movie must have toed the line pretty well. Change planes for apaches, Tom Cruise for Nick Cage, throw in a few petty plot alterations, and you have this deplorable excuse for a movie.

Summary: If you thought Top Gun was great....
Review: I loved this movie when it was aired on TV in the UK as "Wings of the Apache". I watched it "by accident" and thought hey, this looks cool... Nicholas Cage & Tommy Lee Jones make a great screnn partnership and there's no pretence or over-the-top Hollywood feel to this like movies such as Top Gun- simple story, amusing scenes, good action... a great recipe for an entertaining 2 hours if you just want to relax and not hurt your brain. I think if you've enjoyed the likes of Airwolf & Blue Thunder then you'll find this a charming surprise. And at this price, you can't go wrong! Come on October!!!

Summary: Top-Gun in Helicopters
Review: I must say that I disagree with Mr. Maltin's review of this movie. Although it is not well known, it has everything popular action movies have and more, including a great cast (Cage, Jones and Young). The arial combat scenes are intense, and the competition and trainingg of the pilots is very similar to Top Gun. One of the differences is that Young is actually involved in the action instead of sitting on the sidelines "consulting" ala Kelly MicGillis. To sum things up, this is a great movie and I recomend to anyone who is a fan of the actors or the genre.

Summary: Worst Movie I've Ever Seen (exept "I Am The Cheeze")
Review: I was in the Army when this came out, working on helicopters. I saw the movie at Travis AFB in California....well, as much as I saw. I DID walk out of the theatre. Even yelling quips at all of the cheezy lines (and there are plenty) wasn't entertainment enough to keep me from screaming at my shoes. I left fuming and spent the next hour waiting in a cold M1008 for the rest of my buddies to get done watching it. I'm sickened watching Nicholas Cage to this very day.

Summary: Fire Birds is HOT!!!
Review: If you're as much of an aviation buff as I am and love to watch machines being put through their paces, you need this movie in your collection. I've waited a number of years just to find Fire Birds in print -- having an old, taped-off-a-movie-channel copy I've just about worn out -- but to find it in DVD was a true gift. This has some of the hottest flying sequences I've ever seen, especially where helicopters are concerned. (I'm still amazed the things can leave the ground.) The acting may stall out a time or two, but the action is guaranteed to leave you doing rotor spins in your seat long after the movie's over. The chemistry between the main characters -- played by Nicolas Cage, Tommy Lee Jones, and Sean Young -- is truly inspired and great fun to watch. Overall, if you have an itch for fun and for flying, and for the fun of flying, then this is your movie.

Summary: A good action flick
Review: It's a really good movie if you like action and ESPECIALLY if you like Sean Young. The only complaint I have with it is the fact it doesn't have a smash hit song such as "Danger Zone" like Top Gun did.
