AIRWOLF: The Movie is a fun trip back to the era of high haired heroines, heroes who spoke little and their wacky sidekicks who made a joke about everything --Chicago Tribune, September 2011
Product Description
A futuristic high action adventure about a billion dollar helicopter (named Airwolf) equipped with a twin-turbine drum rotor system capable of propelling it to 300 knots, plus 14 firepower options. When the helicopter is purloined by Libyan mercenaries, a project director of the CIA enlists the help of Vietnam veteran (Jan-Michael Vincent) and his father’s best friend in an attempt to recover it. The deadly mission takes them to the Middle East where they must battle the enemy to repossess the deadliest aerial weapon ever made!

AIRWOLF: THE MOVIE
Starring Jan-Michael Vincent, Ernest Borgnine and Alex Cord
Featuring Fully Restored, Uncensored Presentation of the Telefilm,
All-New Interview w/Academy Award-winner Ernest Borgnine and more!
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, THIS FEATURE-LENGTH MOVIE WILL FINALLY BE MADE AVAILABLE TO NORTH AMERICAN VIEWERS
I know what you are saying. "Isn't this already out?" Yes, the TV movie that kicked off the series was released on the season 1 set back in 2005, but that's not exactly what this release is. The Shout! Factory press release didn't explain exactly what it was that's coming on September 6, so I'll clarify it for you.
Airwolf: The Movie was originally released in the United Kingdom as a standalone TV movie, not as a pilot for a series. Their cut of the movie featured scenes that were moved around, or removed, as well as some uncensored material that wasn't seen in the US (the cut is rated "18" in the UK), and scenes from "Mad Over Miami" added to it. It's this version that Shout! Factory and Fabulous Films is releasing, and why the press release mentioned it'll be on DVD "for the first time in the U.S. and Canada.
Fans wanting an absolutely complete set of Airwolf should know that this isn't something that's duplicated on the season 1 set. I strongly recommend it if you like Airwolf. You won't be disappointed.

I just watched this version of the TV Pilot. Ok, besides the few sprinkled f-bombs, I did not see anything to cause me to say "Hey... "I've never seen that". It also says "remastered"... from what? 16mm film? The video is still grainy, but considering when this was made, I won't hold it against them, but it sure doesn't look "cleaned up" or remastered from the master film. As to the ending, I could swear in the TV pilot they showed the "lair" where they keep Airwolf. In this new version it just flies back over the ocean towards home. If you already have the TV Pilot as part of Season 1, I don't see the need to add this to your collection.

Not to Bad but it could have been better.
It seemed that the use of scenes from the series appeared in the movie even though it was suppose to have created prior to the start of the series.
