Yeah, I can see how this film could hook you if you stumble on it in that way.

The Exploding Helicopter podcast will return this week when we book in to HOTEL ARTEMIS (2018). We discuss the action, the mystery, the 'John Wick vibes' and an exploding helicopter that could be a video art installation. Listen soon, wherever you get your pods...

Here at Exploding Helicopter we consider this remake vastly superior to the original for one simple reason.... From KING KONG (1976)

RAMBO III (1988) with four spectacular and creative exploding helicopters, this is another classic. Design by @cultmovie.cards

BLUE THUNDER (1983) a true classic of the exploding helicopter genre. Design by @cultmovie.cards

BROKEN ARROW (1996) which features John Travolta's immortal kiss off line "I said, goddamn what a rush!" Design by @cultmovie.cards

TRUE LIES (1994) where Arnold Schwarzenegger blows up a helicopter by using Art Malik as a human air-to-air missile.

In case you missed them, here are the other five entries so far in the series... MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (1996) the only time a helicopter has been blown up by a piece of chewing gum.

We've teamed up with @cultmovie.cards to celebrate 12 films with an exploding helicopter. Here's the iconic chopper fireball from DIE HARD 4.0 (2007).

If only it did...

From GINTAMA 2: RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN (2018)

We got one FIREFLIES AT EL MOZOTE (2025) becomes the 9️⃣6️⃣2️⃣nd film we've found with an exploding helicopter. 🚁💥🎥 Thanks to @thewykah.bsky.social for another tip-off! 👍

New review, "Illicit Behavior" (1992), our first Joan Severance film on the site! Also starring Jack Scalia, Robert Davi, and James Russo. dtvconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2026/07/illi...

Fingers crossed!

🤣

And they're calling it a masterpiece...

Watched THE ODYSSEY (2026) and I can confirm that it does not feature an exploding helicopter.

Watched PAYDAY (1973) where Rip Torn plays a narcissistic country music artist whose life on the road spins out of control amid pills, booze, and sex. It's a fantastic performance. He creates a true monster who casually uses, abuses, discards, and suborns everyone around him.
