Buckle up and prepare for takeoff! In this behind-the-scenes video, stars Eddie Murphy (Detective Axel Foley) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Detective Bobby Abbott) give us a front-seat look at all the action involved in that intense helicopter stunt, revealing how they managed to pull off the ultimate chopper theft.

“I remember the scene feeling like Disneyland. Like they built a Disneyland ride just for us,” recalls Gordon-Levitt with a grin.

Using a combination of cutting-edge rigs, practical effects, and a highly skilled stunt pilot, these two share their experiences of creating one of the film’s most daring and high-flying sequences. Watch as they take you through the thrilling process of capturing an actual helicopter flying down Wilshire Boulevard, with plenty of laughs and, of course, classic Axel Foley moments sprinkled throughout. And who knows, you might learn a thing or two about taking helicopters for a joyride — not that we encourage it or anything.
