these are the best of the best when it
comes to the spontaneous destruction of
rotary winged aircraft on vacation plan
we better split up
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie helicopter explosions for this
list we’re looking at cinematic
depictions of exploding helicopters so
all fixed-wing aircraft like planes and
spaceships need not apply
also due to the number of exploding
helicopters in some action franchises
the one per franchise rule is in effect
because scenes in which the helicopter
doesn’t actually explode like say the
crashes in Black Hawk Down are also
excluded
number ten you’re fired
true lies terrorists typically don’t
stand a chance against the governador
Cortina
so when Artie gets into a US Marines
Harrier jet it’s game over
he uses the Harrier to rescue his
daughter all while getting shot at by an
enemy helicopter break its dick and take
it out of my pain then the terrorist
leader jumps on board to try and settle
the score great idea but unfortunately
for him he wasn’t watching his footing
and gets stuck on one of the Harriers
missiles when the enemy chopper comes
into firing range
it sets up two things a sweet two birds
with one stone
helicopter kill and one of our knees
signature one-liners you’re fired
number nine what happens on spring break
stays on spring break 22 Jump Street we
love these movies for the simple reason
that their action is as over-the-top as
their laps so when it comes to the
movies climax we expect a hell of a lot
of both
when pursuing their villain our heroes
find themselves dangling from a
helicopter with Jonah Hill Schmidt
holding Channing Tatum’s Jenko to
prevent him from falling in a
one-time-only situation
Adam reaches into hills pants to produce
a grenade and before they fall into the
ocean he manages to pull off a lucky
throw bringing down the helicopter
number eight don’t look back at
explosions x-men origins Wolverine
having recently been turned into the
Wolverine by the Weapon X program
Logan finds himself on a motorcycle
pursued by his enemies in a chopper of
their own there are many techniques to
take down a helicopter but as you can
imagine Wolverine has his own way of
doing things after a fantastic planned
of acrobatics and super healing the
Canadian hunk finds himself standing
over the helicopter with a sorry lack of
explosion
but the words of a surviving enemy
ignite Logan’s anger which in turn
ignites a trail of fuel true to form
doesn’t look back number seven so close
lone survivor
in the real-life story of marcus
luttrell Mark Wahlberg plays a sniper
from a u.s. Navy SEAL reconnaissance
team that finds self in the worst
possible situation we need to meet air
support
they are pinned down and pursued by
enemies but things may be looking up for
the team as they manage to get a
distress signal out and the extraction
helicopters are almost there
at the last minute an RPG takes down the
chopper this moment is shocking not only
for the hard-hitting display of violence
but also for how the explosion signifies
the crushing fear felt by the soldiers
number six that’s not good the Dark
Knight
OK ROCK I love with the Joker and his
goons in hot pursuit one would think
that some air superiority would be nice
I’m talking about after escaping the
tunnel into the open city streets though
the convoy containing Harvey Dent comes
to a rude realization the Joker is as
clever as he is crazy
this seems a built for that right he’s
gonna need something a lot bigger to get
through this so clever in fact that he’s
thought ahead and has a plan in place to
deal with the GDP air support steel
cables vs. helicopter rotor blades are
not a fun time especially when coupled
with the understatement of the year from
one of Gotham’s finest and followed by
that wicked cackle from the Joker okay
that’s not done
number five rock paper chopper
cliffhanger in the game of Stallone vs.
helicopter vs. mountain there can be
only one winner and it’s sure as hell
not going to be the chopper old Sly
Stallone manages to get the pursuing
chopper attached via cable to a secure
rope ladder on the cliff side which it
hangs from following a mountainside
crash
needless to say a fight ensues between
Stallone and a very pissed-off John
Lithgow but it ends when the latter
finally gives way
Stallone jumps to safety and the
helicopter and its crew of one Falls to
a fiery end
number four that was close Rambo three
while in Afghanistan
to rescue some old friends from the
Soviets John Rambo the eponymous hero
finds himself pursued by not one but two
Russian gunships you go on ahead
Pacific applies recovery needless to say
some quick thinking is in order using
precious seconds to assemble a bow and
an explosive tip arrow Stallone springs
to position and as one of the attacking
choppers comes into view he blows it out
of the sky is it just us or is Stallone
allergic to helicopters or something I
was close jack Hawaii well done number
three I was out of bullets
live free or die hard this is another
film series whose lead actor does not
seem to mix well with helicopters die
hard with a vengeance was a strong
contender for our list
however it’s in the fourth diehard
installment that John McClane finds
himself pursued by yet another
helicopter in a scene we think is even
more worthy of this list lucky for him
he and Justin long are in a car filled
tunnel and from acclaim cars are just as
good as any weapon driving his past as
he can Bruce Willis jumps out just
before the car is launched into the air
like a giant projectile while this does
go toward the theory that Willis is
actually unbreakable our favorite part
is the punch line that follows how does
our boss number two doing the impossible
the matrix
the matrix swept audiences off their
feet with its unique visual style and
groundbreaking special effects so when
we anticipate a helicopter explosion in
a movie like that it had better be
phenomenal as Trinity and Neil are
wrapping up their surprisingly
successful suicide mission neo holds a
line for Trinity as she jumps from a
falling helicopter
when it smashes into the side of
skyscraper the shockwaves ripple through
the glass before a cacophony of
shattering window panes is followed by
the blast of the helicopter
it’s like cinematic ecstasy
before we blast our way on to our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions
number one red light green light mission
impossible
Ethan Hunt will always find himself in
well impossible situations sort of like
when the helicopter that is coming to
pick up his treacherous teammate off of
the roof of a speeding train gets its
cable attached to the Train and is
dragged into the tunnel with them in
this situation hunch does the only
reasonable thing jump on to the
helicopter and defeat it with a stick of
explosive gum vanquishing both enemies
and somehow getting back onto the train
he comes inches from having a shave
that’s just a little too close thrill us
half to death mission accomplished
do you agree with our list right what
explosive helicopters of the silver
screen are your favorite for more
explosive top 10s published every day be
