If you loved Reiter auf verbrannter Erde, try Das fliegende Auge
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by John Badham, and they both carry the raw mood tag. If that's the register that drew you to Reiter auf verbrannter Erde, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Das fliegende Auge is
Downtown L.A. + dusk + rotor wash. A haunted vet gets tapped to test Blue Thunder, a new combat-ready helicopter. Soon he suspects a sinister agenda behind the craft's development and the reasons for its deployment over the city. A propulsive, preposterous action movie now mostly notable as a Reagan-era fever dream.
