It's About Flippin' Time!!!, Dec 27 2006
By B. Cross - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Airwolf: Season 2 (DVD)
First off, I want to assure everyone out there that this is not going to be a review so much, more like an "Airwolf Editorial". I think that I can speak for many people when I say that this show was one of, if not, THE show that us late 20s / early 30s types miss the most from the 1980s. It was THE show that used the "Super Vehicle" concept (calm down, all you Knight Rider fanboys out there, I know that this show was two years after K.R., but Jan-Michael Vincent vs. "The Hoff"? Airwolf vs. K.I.T.T.? Please...) This show, unlike most of the other 1980s swill that appealed to me when I was in grade school, STILL appeals to me. Granted, there are continuity errors, military aircraft and vehicles are sometimes named incorrectly, the sometimes cheesy acting and plots, and the dated Cold War mentality. If you strip all the bad stuff away, you are still left with a show that was casted more or less very well (Ernest Borgnine RULES!!! He was the ultimate buddy / father figure that has yet to be topped in ANY show), GREAT flying footage, and a KILLER soundtrack. Hey, I'm 30 years old, but when I hear the synth-driven title score, I still grin like I did back in '84. Watching the show now evokes an odd mix on nostalgia and the grim knowledge of what happened to two of the main stars. J.M. Vincent faded into obscurity fueled by alcoholism, and the chopper later crashed and killed her entire crew in the early 1990's. I could go on and on, but I'm sure that between my thoughts and the thoughts and reviews of others here on Amazon, those who know nothing on Airwolf will have a very clear picture of what this show was all about. BTW, Donald Dube, Battlestar Galactica was produced by Glen A. Larson in the 1970s. Also, if any suits from Universal are reading this, DO NOT wait almost two years before releasing Season 3!!!"Dom, give me turbos!" - Stringfellow Hawke
"(Fill in the blank), String!" - Dominic Santini
"RRROOOAAARRR!" - Airwolf (when turbos are engaged)
Yeah, I'm a geek :)

The Three A's --Action, Adventure and (Good ) Acting, April 16 2007
By Bennet Pomerantz "Bennet Pomerantz, AUDIOWORLD" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Airwolf: Season 2 (DVD)
Airwolf may have seemed like a show about a miltary helicopter who could do anything. Piloted by Stringfellow Hawke (Jan Micheal Vincent-in his finest acting hours) and Dominic Santini (Ernest Borgnine), this helicopter saga had a human touch.This second season Airwolf came into its own. The first season defined the character and the copter. The second season had great character storylines, which was less on hardware and more of emotional software
These 22 episodes were intelligent well done TV..I can wait for season three which comes out soon

Finally, Season 2 is coming to DVD!!!, Sep 22 2006
By Iceman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Airwolf: Season 2 (DVD)
After months and years of waiting, it is finally coming! Ever since the release of Season 1, Airwolf fans such as myself have only grown more hungry for the next couple seasons. Myself and many others, I'm sure, actually signed an online petition begging Universal to release Season 2 on DVD. I'll be the first to sign for Season 3 when the time comes.Airwolf was the most brilliant show of all time - and it was truly ahead of its time. Even today, a slick, black, Mach 1+ attack helicopter with retractable chain guns, rocket pods, turbo thrusters, infra-red imaging, etc. would be an incredible addition to our military. This show stands apart from others because instead of a man being the hero, it is a machine. It is a show that when you watch it, you think to yourself, I've got to get one of those - and you sit in awe, salivating, as you watch it in action.
Even now, I'm salivating at the thought of purchasing Season 2. I recommend this show for anyone looking for a great 80s action series. I would give it 4 thumbs up if I could. Instead I'll give it 5 stars.
Listmania!
