John Badham recalls the making of his rip-roaring action picture featuring some of the craziest urban helicopter action yet seen onscreen, as overseen by veteran pilot and aerial coordinator James C. Gavin. Malcolm McDowell, playing the villain, conquered his longstanding fear of flying long enough to go aloft for the loopy attack helicopter sequences. His obvious discomfort goes beyond the level of performance into the realm of Real Trouper-ism. • ABOUT JOHN BADHAM: • JOHN BADHAM, the director of Saturday Night Fever, WarGames and Short Circuit and many other films as well as TV series Heroes, Psych, The Shield and Criminal Minds.
