Blooper - 1x04 - Bite Of The Jackal

Written By: Nicholas Corea
Directed By: Alan J. Levi 

For this episode i am going to challenge a long posed question of just "who downed dom's helicopter"

That opening scene planting the bomb always makes me laugh because when it cuts to the hand reaching into the tool box, to take out the bomb, you could clearly tell that was either Ernest or Ernests stunt double (wearing an airwolf flight suit) You can actually see the "airwolf arm patch" for a moment too.

That is not JMV, the body mass is way off during the whole leaning into the box shot.
(could have been jmv If this had been in season 3)

Is That Ernest Borgnine ? Spot The Airwolf Arm Patch
 Also, by the looks of the Lighting perspective, this tool box moment appears to of been filmed indoors rather than outside, i mean that is jetcopters hanger floor right ?.

I have often wondered why they used this hanger because if Dom wasn't at the helicopter then one would assume Dom was in the hanger, same hanger the guy comes out of. Also this hanger he slips out of has the lights on inside?

Soldier Callan Stepping Out of Doms Hanger
Maybe he considered "i will hide in the hanger until they go home" now that's plausible, but to turn on the lights and leave them on, why did dom not have a gripe at anyone for leaving that door unlocked? or about the lights left on?. who the hell was in such a hurry last night to leave my lights on and the side door open?. Dom never asked because dom was inside all along as we later see.

What we know about the hanger, size, dimensions and the noise a metal door makes, i could never buy that scene as it was with the lights on, the colour of the hanger door (so for the patch to raise its wolfy head) made it's continuity much worse.

The scene had far more time spent on the "Lighting of it" rather than the "continuity of it" He could of and should of just been hiding around a corner. Over directing the drama (using the SA hanger) then showing them both inside was a bad move and sadly makes it more obvious on the remaster.


BUT!!!   The Lighting Is Great!
Clock & Lighting Has The Time As Proof To Being Inside at PM
This Further Proves It Is PM
As does this next shot


It's Night Time
Santini did it, he gave it to the guy?

What Other Bloopers Do You Remember From This Episode ?

Blooper - 1x02 - Shadow of the Hawke - Movie - Palace Trees

In the palace courtyard 3 trees have a band around them, all three are marked ready to be cut in half by the chain gun fire but only one tree falls

You Can See The Marks On The Trees
One of them pops and the other two fail
This guy bravely carried on knowing it could blow
This was a brave guy too

Blooper - 1x02 - Shadow of the Hawke - Movie - Film Crew

When all hell break loose and "The crew just hang around in the background" like every thing's fine. But clock that guys big thick coat. So much for "why do you have your helmet on in this heat"  cant be that hot.


Blooper - 1x02 - Shadow of the Hawke - Movie - Airwolf Guns

During the scene when hawke steals airwolf back you notice airwolf has the original Chain Guns design before they made them fatter.


Blooper - 1x02 - Shadow of the Hawke - Movie - Airwolf Tethered

In the movie and the pilot edits you can see airwolf has a tether cable to stop the down draft and drift caused by the buildings from pushing her out of frame.

Below are a number of images (if you can't see it in the first two, then look at the third image)

Here Its Been Marked So You Can See It Better and Find It On The Other Two Images Above


Blooper - 1x02 - Shadow of the Hawke - Movie - Airwolf Squibs

When the bullets hit airwolf (in the compound when hawke steals airwolf) you can see the Squibs
you might also notice she's got the upgraded fatter guns here too.
