Alternate versions for
Blue Thunder (1983) More at IMDb Pro »

• When "Blue Thunder" first was released on video in Sweden, the scene where Kate drives to the the TV-station with the video tape, involved a crazy stunt when she drives in to a narrow alley and meets a police car that comes the other way. To avoid a disaster, Kate flips her car on its side, hits its roof on a wall and flips back again. In later video versions, the stunt is gone. We only sees the car when it enters the alley and then we sees it driving on the freeway with a strange damage on the roof.
  
  
• There are at least two versions of the movie differing in soundtrack. One version features an orchestral/piano version of the theme for the final credits (seen on German television), another version features a synthesizer version with drums for the final credits (seen on US DVD release).
