Reign Of Fire (2002) - in this post-holocaust monster movie, a crew of former
American soldiers recklessly skydive from a single Agusta helicopter - an A-109 (as used
by SAS troops) using a hi-tech radar system to detect and snare the dangerous flying beasts
that have destroyed civilisation. In one of these operations, the choper is chased through
the sky by the yankee hero (Matthew McConaughey) kills it. Of particlar note with regard
to the scope of this film, is the entirely misleading poster
artwork that shows Boeing AH-64
Apache gunships engaged in aerial combat with dragons over a burning London, as this
battle is not realised in the film. The pilot is played by onetime Bond girl
Izabella Scorupco.
