@Marko Jotic Nothing wrong mate. Strafing(a word that means shooting ground targets) are usually performed from the side of the vehicle. This is because the surface area exposed is larger. There is a higher chace of hitting the target.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

@@leontam221 I don't think the surface area matters that much but it depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you have two birds to attack a convoy it's perfectly feasible to do a pass attacking the lead and the tail vehicle to pin everyone in the middle, turn around and then do passes from the front. Even if surface area was greater from the side, you get more time on the target by coming from the front or the rear.

In addition, the speed the harriers fly compared to the choppers and the cars combined with the music, also add to the urgency of the scene.

The actual fly by shot showed the Harriers flying at least 500ft below the helicopters which is where they probably got the first shot in this clip of the Harriers in formation from one of the helicopters. Look at all of the other shots from inside the helicopter which are obviously green screen. It makes no sense that Cameron would waste the money trying to get that shot when he had far more important Harrier shots to get. Harriers don’t come cheap. If you seriously think about it for a moment you’ll realize it’s just good special effects, it didn’t actually happen. Every other interior shot in the helicopter, the trucks, and the limo were all obviously green screened. It defies logic that the one Harrier shot is real.

[@benjiespinosa4703]

nocalsteve at .09 seconds is where you can see its real. The interior on the ceiling is not chronographed. The lighting is just too accurate to argue. Just because you think it’s not logically possible or waste of money doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. At 11 seconds of the clip we see a wide shot of the exact shot in question. You can clearly see two helicopters in shot flown in front of the harriers. Also Look at T2 the truck/ helicopter chase sequence. The pilot was a Vietnam vet pilot that flown choppers in the war. And he was going under bridges and barely flying over bridges at close quarters. James Cameron was a pushing the limits back then. I’m telling you this shot in the first 15 seconds of this clip is very real and very precised. Hats off to the pilots and crew. It’s really a beautiful shot.

james cameron doesn't disappoint.

[@gerk7238]

I can’t believe all this actually happened and was caught on tape, such good quality too. Real life terrorists and secret agents. So cool. True lies is the best documentary of all time!

[@CommanderCronus]

why do I get the impression we'll never see a movie like this made again?

[@myvideosetc.8271]

Because CGI, and political correctness, sadly.

i love how the last truck that falls in the water has no reason to blow up but does anyway

This is the best damn movie ever made!! The stunt work was by far ahead of its and it was done without cgi!!

Leave it to James Cameron to say “I need a shot of a bridge exploding. So let’s a build a real seven mile bridge and blow it up.”

[@angamgolmei]

It was a small scale bridge

[@cubdukat]

And Fox let him do it too. This was the first film of his deal with them and the first official Lightstorm Entertainment film.

[@LoganHunter82]

They used a model and a replica of small portion of that bridge.

[@Nr15121]

That bridge is still there too connects to a middle island and is used for storage

My father always play this scene on the Laserdisc. I never forget it. He bought it for Side C because of this.

That wouldn't be fair, unless the Marines in the Harriers could counter with a particle beam phalanx - vwap! They would fry half a city with those puppies.

Pretty much. You lock them onto the target, and the Maverick seeker keeps the aimpoint centered in its field of view until impact.
