Fire Birds [Blu-ray]

I JUST LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Yeah yeah, I know some of it's been beefed up for Hollywood, but the Apache helo is the SHIZNITZ!!!

I like this movie seen it some time back and have been trying to find it owned it once and someone borrowed it and never returned it .

Good movie, but tried to follow Top Gun a bit too closely in my opinion. The love interests in this movie really served no purpose to the story and could well have been left out

I enjoyed this movie even though it is a bit far-fetched. Twenty-odd years of piloting and crewing military helicopters has not cured me of enjoying crazy flight sequences and black and white characterizations of good and evil. Tommy Lee Jones is a bit too old for his role, but I encountered numerous US Army helicopter pilots who had been flying in various capacities for most of recorded history, so I guess it goes with the genre. If the movie was to be believed, sexual harrassment in the military has made no progress since the neandrethal days of the 1960's.

Fun movie. A by the book 80's movie. That is not a B movie... but Definitely not an A movie either.. more of a Saturday afternoon special.

Boring movie. Too much of the relationship nonsense, semi-nudity. Blah, Blah, Blah. Does Nick Cage ever make a movie without the "ride 'em cowgirl" scene??? Not enough Black Hawks, villains, or fight scenes. Into the round file this goes.

I love movies. I say that so you will understand that for me to turn off a movie before it's over is extremely rare. This movie was that bad. Sorry I bought it and the fact that it was very highly rated makes me wonder what's going.Just to be clear let me explain:1) The "enemy" in the movie uses a fictional helicopter called a Scorpion. Yes, before you look it up, it's not a real helicopter.2) Nicolas Cage destroys an enemy jet using his AH-64 Apache. Not with a stinger missile, which is plausible but with Hydra 70 unguided rockets which is next to impossible.3) Cage, and pretty much everyone else in the movie, despite being in the military are allowed to flirt, joke, use slang and fool around while flying on actual military missions.4) The 3 main characters are totally predictable and cliche: a) Cage starts out as a totally cocky pilot who can't pass a test to fly the Apache until his ex-GF reveals to him that his "mixed dominance" (left eye- right handedness) is the entire problem. Voila!. Tommy Lee Jones makes him drive a jeep for 10 minutes with his left eye blindfolded and problem fixed. b) Tommy Lee Jones is an older pilot who insists on using good old boy cliches at every opportunity to explain the US military doctrine, but still keeps the cocky and incompetent but "potentially great" Cage around. c) Sean Young is the ex-GF who is a helicopter pilot who refuses to ever get back together with Cage...for about a week. Gosh---the hero gets the girl and the copter which of course we never expected!!5) Cage---who has never flown an Apache is sent to talk to the Joint Chiefs of Staff for a debriefing. and of course, his "pluckyness" and patriotism causes them all to believe that he would be a better pilot for an Apache than the hundreds of other trained pilots the US already has.It goes on an on.The copter sequences were brief and uninteresting marred by the inane outbursts of Cage, et al, whooping it up while flying. NONE of the scenes will remind anyone of the actual footage or audio from actual copter actions in the first or second Gulf Wars or from Afghanistan.Save your money.

Great movie for military aviation buffs. Nicolas Cage, Tommy Lee Jones and Sean Young as well as others in the movie gave great performances.

This movie is great, but the subtitles are annoying!!Good flying combat scenes, but Nicolas Cage is mis-cast.Overall, a great action movie!

Fire Birds met more then expected. I took a big risk ordering after reading the other reviews. But I can say hand on heart it will play on European players. Mine is region 2 Samsung Smart, plays perfectly, Pictures great, sound 2.1 but th then you can't have everything. Well worth the price.

Wasnt able to play on English dvd player, wrong region. Did not state on sales its region was for America

arrived safe thanks

Love the areal scenesBut make believe that Nicholas Cage does the pilot and gunner
