I remember him more from Football and the short lived Blue Thunder TV spin off of the film.

I thought Blue Thunder was the helicopter movie similar to Airwolf. He probably more famous, outside America, for the Police Academy movies.

They did a television spin-off of the Blue Thunder film. Bubba Smith played part of the ground crew (with fellow ex-footballer Dick Butkus), they drove around in a SWAT truck with a Ford Bronco hidden in the back, to refuel/repair BT and to provide ground support. The pilot Roy Scheider's role was taken over by James Farentino and Judge Reinholds "JAFO" role was taken over by a young Dana Carvey.

I remember that. It wasn't as good as Airwolf.

I loved his character in the Police Academy films. He came across as this big mean ol' son of a gun but then showed his nice side. Along with Motormouth Jones who could keep me amused for hours with his voice, Esterbrook who could keep me entertained in some different ways  , and Tackleberry who had firepower, they IMO were the reason to watch the show. I never watched BT nor the series though I had heard of it and heard how people rate it over Airwolf. The latter was created in response to BT as Larson (or was it bellasarius?) thought he could make a better show. IMO, it's like comparing apples and diamonds. _________________ He fights for the users.

Yes his character was one of the nicest of them all. Not a bad side to him. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

I remember the c64 Blue Thunder computer game, but not the film/show.
