Deadly Encounter (aka: American Eagle, 1982) - this classic TV movie from director

William A. Graham - also the maker of Birds Of Prey - boasts exceptionally inventive

and often daring airborne stunts. It stars Larry Hagman playing heroic ex-military pilot

Sam Hooten, who helps a former girlfriend escape from a mafia boss. In the opening

scene, Sam flies his Hughes 500C out from its hanger, and uses the helicopter's

landing skids to knock a tin can into a bucket. This 'football' game for the amusement

of local kids is actually faked by close-ups, inserts, and fast cutting, but it's a clever bit

of rotary action to demonstrate Sam's piloting skills. Later, we see our hero doing all

sorts of helicopter work, including the beach job of hauling a water skier.

When bogus medics kidnap the hero's old flame Chris (Susan Anspach), Sam gets

airborne to follow them and, in a low-flying dust-up, forces their ambulance off the

road. Breaking into the hospital, a gang of henchmen snatch the unconscious Chris,

yet again, using an Aerospatiale Alouette II as their escape vehicle, with Chris

strapped into a medevac bay on the landing skids. Sam begins a low-level pursuit

through the Mexican town, inches above the ground, and the helicopter raises sparks

from the tarmac as it skids down the street. The chase goes over a river and

woodlands until Sam's chopper is damaged by shots from the villains, forcing him to

stop for a moment to extinguish a fire. Intercepting the kidnappers' refuel supply

boat, Sam uses his machine's downdraft to dunk some baddies overboard. Soon, the

helicopters are circling each other above a shoreline, while heroine Chris fights a

henchman outside the Alouette's cabin. Eventually, Chris struggles free of the gang,

and Sam rescues her from the water. Making a speedy escape, Sam only stops to

refuel and, with help from Chris, tapes smoke grenades onto the 500's landing skids.

When the baddies arrive, their Alouette knocks over a telephone box, and hits Sam,

but he survives this attack, promptly escaping in his Hughes, resulting in another

low-flying chase where a blinding smoke trail released by Sam and Chris forces the

Alouette to end its pursuit. At the rendezvous with a police Bell 206 JetRanger, where

Sam expects to leave Chris in federal protection, the cops are actually impostors

working for the Arizona mobster, and Sam has to save Chris yet again, flying his 500

into US airspace, and under road bridges. Now leaking oil, the Hughes chopper lands

on the back of a flatbed lorry. At a roadblock, Chris shoots a flare-gun from the

airborne Hughes and destroys the JetRanger.

Later, in their night campout after a busy day being hunted by mafia goons, Sam and

Chris watch the bad guys scouring the area in two Alouettes. The hunt resumes by

daylight, with the top gangster leading the chase in his blue SA-341 Gazelle. Hoping

to evade pursuit, Sam lands in the middle of a 'graveyard' for aircraft, parking in a

line of old helicopters, next to a rare Jovair Hum-1 (an MC-4 version, one of only five

built for US military tests). In the confrontation that follows, one of the Alouettes is

damaged by gunfire during a mad scramble to get airborne from the graveyard site.

Banknotes thrown from Sam's Hughes form a cloud of cash for the helicopters to fly

through, and the 500 does loops and turns at high speed in dogfight manoeuvres

against the Gazelle, before Sam's old war buddies arrive in bi-planes adding flying

circus mayhem to the rotorcraft shootout.

Sam's chopper finally skids to a halt after its alarm-beeping emergency landing. One

of the Alouettes is forced downwards by overhead bi-planes, and then flies into a cliff

wall (exploding off-screen). The Gazelle chases a red bi-plane and tries to knock it out

of the sky. Sam climbs onto the Gazelle, throws both mobster and pilot out, and takes

over the controls ready for a final safe flight to Tucson...

Larry Kirsch was the pilot of Sam's 500, and is credited as helicopter stunt coordinator.

Until the release of the great Blue Thunder and the launch of Airwolf, this was

certainly the best rotary action film produced.
