Episode 138: Bulletproof

Exploding Helicopter

“You may be bulletproof – but you’re not love proof.”
On this show we take a look at the cult Eighties action film BULLETPROOF (1987).
We’re joined by Matt Poirier from the DTV Connoisseur to discuss the action movie credentials of Gary Busey, why you should take a nap around this film’s third innings, and whether it provided inspiration to the writers of The Simpsons. We also review the exploding helicopter action and discuss a method of chopper destruction that’s only been seen 8 times in the entirety of film history!
