Birds of Prey (1973 TV Movie)
7/10
Neat flying with cool landscape. So-so movie overall.

Rather unsophisticated chase movie in some ways, but spectacular flying and striking landscape backdrop - Utah canyon-lands. All real flying too, not CGI. Ending was a bit weird. Amusing/odd feature is that the bad guys have no attributable dialog - they are apparently dubbed, or speak via a loudhailer on the chopper, etc. You never see them actually speak, even when they fight among themselves. Another cute motif is the computers (tapes, flashing lights) at the police HQ. 'I'm not behind a desk, I'm behind a computer. That's how it is done these days'...then later 'What did the computer come up with'. "Zero". Not the best movie ever, but well worth a watch.
