Airwolf season 1: One Way Express

Spoiler Alert – read what I say first, then go watch the episode. Then cuss me out for ruining it for you.

Maybe I didn’t notice before, but One Way Express has a new intro to Airwolf. Sounds like the Micro Machines voiceover guy gives a complete account of who, what, where when why how and everything pertaining to Airwolf–all in the span of about 3 seconds. I mean this announcer guy tells the story so fast, all I heard was .

Anyways, the action starts off immediately with the production of a cheesy movie action scene, which–you better sit down for this one–features a helicopter! playing chicken or something with an 18-wheeler. Don’t be fooled though, this was not your everyday normal game of chicken… more like the game of chicken in The Last Action Hero where Arnold and the bad guy floor it and that stupid kid just watches as they crash head on into each other. That was a kick ass game of chicken. But back to Airwolf…

So the helicopter crashes, and the Bear Trap Productions stunt/camera/vehicle/pickup truck hauling the director and cameramen quickly arrive at ground zero of the helicopter crash. Now before we go any further, I just gotta say that when that copter went down, there was no possible way they used a small model helicopter with fake little trees. This looked so incredibly realistic! Not.

Of course, the crash pilot is not hurt, but his face is covered in black char and grease. It doesn’t take long though before the dickwad producer shows up and tells the director that the shot has to be made. Director dude pleads with producer man and says “dude, this shot cannot be done. Clownface Black is one of the best pilots in the Milk, and it just ain’t happening.” Producer man, ever the dickhead, demands to know who the best is. Director dude tells him that Santini Air is the best, but that it won’t be easy at all.

Something just isn’t sitting right with this cornhole producer. This guy is gonna be trouble.

As if the producer isn’t enough to piss us off, now we get to deal with Dominic’s lovely ego, which appeared out of knowwhere compared to the previous episodes. Up until now, Dom and String were best of buddies. But judging on how Santini just bet his entire business that he could pull off the stunt, and the fact that producer and director fags are obviously up to no good, seems like they are about to piss us off a ho ho lot more. Might be time to bust out the valium, cause it looks like were in for some real Mel Gibson-style piss-you-offness.

Ok, its really getting bad now. This fucking producer looks just like Weekend at Bernie, and I had to pause it in order to save myself from knocking the shit out of my laptop screen to get at this chump. Not only is he a backstabbing prick, but now he’s got Hawke and Dominic on the fritz. I tell you what, these writers damn sure better end this episode on a high note or I may have to boycott the next episodes for a couple of weeks. We damn well better get some Apacalypto-style kick ass ending here…

And kick ass style ending it was. This is definitely the best episode yet if you ask me. The show must’ve got a nice hefty budget kick starting this episode… the fight scenes are better, camera quality is higher, and everything seems much more polished. Hell yes Airwolf!
