True Memoirs Of An International Assassin

TRUE MEMOIRS OF AN INTERNATIONAL ASSASSIN (2016)


This comedy-action movie’s first sequence includes a Bell 205 landing on the docks.



The hero jumps onboard to fight a henchman, and rescue a woman, before the Huey crashes into the water.



In a meta-fictional re-write of that intro, the hero jumps out just before the crash. 

This new scene begins with a clever bit of surrealistic animation - where rotors scatter letters from a re-typed page - for the dissolve.




A Huey also features in the climactic stunt sequence where the hero dangles from the landing skids, while the heroine fights the villain.


The low-flying chopper hits a tree, spins out of control, and the heroes have to jump into a jungle river.



Here's a behind-the-scenes view of a prop Huey in the visual effects studio.
