    Default Game #437 - Blue Thunder

    Game version 1

    One picture from one movie:

    Rule 1:
    NO IMAGE HOSTING ON EXTERNAL SERVERS.
    Images for the games need to be ATTACHED to the post, and thus uploaded to our server.

    Rule 2:
    TWO GUESSES PER PERSON PER POSTED PICTURE!!! Those two guesses are not allowed to be in the same post, NOR in a consecutive post. I.e. you can post one guess, then have to wait for someone else to guess: your second guess is not allowed to be immediately following your first guess.

    Rule 3:
    The WINNER of the game can start a new game IN A NEW THREAD.
    NO ONE ELSE (unless yielded so by the winner).

    Rule 4:
    Once there's a winner, PLEASE post the correct name into the thread (spelled correctly, and capitalized correctly, and not in italics or bold face.)

    Rule 5:
    The correct title format is: "Game" / space / "#" / number.
    Example: " Game #12" (without the ")
    (no space between the # sign and the number!)

    Rule 6:
    The film selected should be one that has had an international, theatrical release.
    I.e. a made-for-TV movie only shown in the USA would hardly be a fair entry, as
    we have international players also.

    Rule 7:
    These complete rules (1 to 7) have to be copy & pasted into each new game's first post.


    This one is perhaps less liked by old geezers like me... nice aspheric lens flare, though!

    Yes - this is a teaser grab, better and easier ones will soon follow!

    Clue: The angle of this shot is significant!

    Nope, the cops in this movie don't run Spinners... as you can see, they just have old-fashioned police cars:

    Very popular, these games... The 50 views are by spiders and bots, and maybe one or two humans...

    Here's a new screenshot, and a couple of clues:

    This film wasn't really a box office hit. As a comparison, "Gremlins" cost about as much to produce, but grossed almost four times better.

    One of the (somewhat unusual) filming locations was later razed, making room for a supermarket.

    Last clue for today: A TV series of the same name was made a year after this movie, using some stock footage from the film. The series didn't last for long, though.

    Yes, Krute nailed it.

    Blue Thunder

    To be honest, I didn't think that would have happened quite yet, so, well done! (Was it the Gremlins hint?)

    Here are some giveaways:

    My very last, desperate hint (later tomorrow) would have been "a colored weather phenomenon"... but you never needed that!

    A combination of the "movies made into TV series", plus the silver police badges, which IMDb said were used because the LA Police Department didn't want to be associated with the film. Then a check of Gremlins" gross stats confirmed it.

    Okay, without further ado, the next game will be up in a sec..

    You should! It's a great movie, especially if you like Roy Schneider and Daniel Stern.
    Janke, I haven't logged in for like 48hours and you posted the only movie in the whole year that I could have been able to answer correctly! Damn!
