WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
Great
knockabout airborne action
adventure from the mid 1980's
with Airwolf which was a super
high tech helicopter assigned to
top secret government agency The
Firm; The opening episode, in
this 2 disc double sided
Universal set, sets the
scene as the man
who
created the Airwolf steals the machine in a plot to sell it to the
Libyans with the US Government persuading reclusive super pilot
Stingfellow Hawke (Jan-Michael Vincent) to bring it back, he succeeds in
getting his hands on the Airwolf but then refuses to hand it over unless
the government help find his missing in action brother, he does however
agree to use the copter to perform operations for the government.
All
your classic elements are here, the loner lead, the sensible older guy
in the shape of Ernest Borgnine's Dominic Santani and the shady
middleman with Archangel (Alex Cord). Similar in style I guess to The
A-Team, Airwolf is a good slice of fun,
whilst
it might not be as widely remembered as other shows of the era it is
still well worth a look, later episodes of the show saw an almost
complete cast and format change but this first series is the show at its
best. Check it out!
