Jan-Michael Vincent stars in Airwolf as Stringfellow Hawke, who, with trusty sidekick Dominic Santini (Ernest Borgnine), embarks on perilous missions for a top secret agency known as The Firm, which in turn allows him fairly free rein as he searches for his long lost brother. Vincent, then 40 years old, was still a year or two away from ruining his career with substance abuse problems, but his work here is hardly of Emmy-winning caliber; indeed, it's a lazy performance pretty much devoid of emotional resonance. Borgnine, on the other hand, is always reliable, but even the former Oscar winner (in 1955, for Marty) can't overcome Airwolf's procession of cardboard characters (especially the villains) and credulity-challenging scripts, which find our heroes traveling to a Laotian prison camp, battling nuclear terrorists in California, rescuing the president of a South American banana republic, investigating a religious cult, fending off jungle cats kept on a Texas hunting ranch, and saving a country singer from the nefarious machinations of her manager-husband, among other silliness. In fairness, creator-executive producer Donald Bellisario (who also brought us Magnum, P.I., Quantum Leap, and JAG) and his team make an effort to inject a human element; there's an episode in which Dominic is arrested for murdering his faithless wife, and a couple that find the guilt-ridden Hawke searching for his brother, Saint John (pronounced "Sinjin"), who was presumed lost during the Vietnam War when Stringfellow left him in the jungle. What's more, considering its relatively ancient pedigree, technology-wise, the effects work isn't bad, and there are some cool moments when the Airwolf helicopter does what it does best (i.e., blow stuff up).
It's unlikely that anyone will fondly look back at Airwolf as one of television's finest moments. That doesn't mean that this five-disc set containing all 22 episodes from the series' second season (1984-85) won't find an audience eager to re-live the adventures of a super high-tech helicopter and the renegade flyboy who pilots it (heck, even Knight Rider, featuring David Hasselhoff and his talking car, has its adherents). Nonetheless, low expectations are definitely in order for anyone who wasn't, say, ten years old when the show was on the air.But overall, the show lacks a strong vibe, a recognizable sense of style and pace to draw viewers in and make believers out of us. Not terrible, not terrific, Airwolf is just sort of there. --Sam Graham

Over the last year, I've been borrowing my Dad's copy of the first season of Airwolf. Watching it sure brought back memories of the 80's. Well, for our anniversary, my wife ended up giving me season 2. I don't recall seeing all of the episodes in season 2, so it's been fun to continue to experience the world of Airwolf. While I'm still not done watching the season, there definitely have been some good, classic episodes.
One of my favorites so far is about another "super" helicopter called ... Read More

Second Season was much lighter than first season and did not have the same moral content. I loved 1st season and Jan Michael!!
In 2nd season, Airwolf was used for some local problems....which I found rather unbelievable. Also, in some episodes Jan Michael looked VERY thin and his acting was not as good as the first season. I quess his alcohol problem was taking over at this point !!! Even so, the episodes were enjoyable.
My 2nd season DVD from Amazon was missing 6 episodes. They were ... Read More

Wow. This is even better than I remembered it. All that beautiful action footage, feature-quality aerials for the Lady (even if some were B-roll from previous episodes from the 1st season) mixed with tremendous performances.
Stand-out episodes included: 'MOFFETT'S GHOST' (The late David Hemmings reprises his role as Dr Moffet in this gripping "ghost in the machine" script), 'HX1', 'FALLEN ANGEL', 'SHORT WALK TO FREEDOM', and the awesome 'SWEET BRITCHES' guest-starring The A-Team's Lance Le Gault ... Read More

Ok, I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but to say that there probably won't be a huge fan following? Well, let me correct you, there is a GIANORMOUS fan following, just look online at all the fan sites & forums, all the obsessed fans out there! I'm glad that they put this on video but the downside is that some footage was cut compared to the original airing. This sometimes takes away from the show, especially if I KNOW there used to be a scene that's no longer there! The ppl who put these together REALLY ... Read More
