@QuelDr0ma The fictional MiG-31 Firefox is an original design for this film. The SU-35 came long after. In 1982 even the SU-35′s predecessor SU-27 had not entered service. In fact, a plane that would really be called MiG-31 entered service coincidentally in 1982, but it was not seen by Western observers till years later. If the filmmakers had knowledge of new Soviet aircraft they would have given this fictional MiG-31 a higher number.
i was six years old, this scene sent chills up my spin when i watched it in the theater with my dad. for any conscious survivor of the cold war… cheers.
Why is it I get the feeling theres a conspiracy here to keep us the public from owning a score from this film. And six-track Dolby 5.1 on DVD audio would be huge highlight, stuff two channel.
@DavyTom71 haha spot on bro and a little like the A5-A VIGILANTE
epic cold war movie
Firefox always reminds me of the Cobra Night Raven.
@DavyTom71 Good Lord, you’re right. How can I not have noticed? To hell with the almost universal panning of this movie…I LOVE it.
i remember watching this as a child with my dad and seeing it for the first time and going O.O
The Firefox looks a little like the Valkyrie Mach 3 bomber
@MagicAlDF It was based on the Mig 25/ 31. No other plane.

Those song wouldn’t have been released on a soundtrack… It’d have been on the score.
Which you might be able to sage if you’re good enough.
