Fire Birds (1990)

[SlidePocket 707]

Fire Birds has Nicolas Cage, Tommy Lee Jones and Sean Young in a "Top Gun" inspired movie where instead of jet fighter pilots, you get helicopter pilots attempting to dismantle a drug cartel in South America. The dialogue is so melancholy and the similarities to "Top Gun" is clearly obvious, that it was clear the studio was trying to replicate that movie's success.

 

Plus the trailer has the song "Nowhere Fast" from Streets of Fire if you want to hear this out:

Do it! This film is mental and kind of pathetic at the same time.
