Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1990 action comedy film directed by Roger Spottiswoode, starring Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr..The year is 1969. After buzzing a semi-driver, radio eye-in-the-sky Billy Covington (Downey) gets stripped of his pilots license. No sooner does this happen than he gets a job offer from Air America, a covert airlift organization operating out of Laos. Once there, he finds the company full of lunatics, with perhaps the looniest being Gene Ryack (Gibson), a self-proclaimed Buddhist who runs guns on the side. He also finds out the organization is secretly a drug-smuggling operation, run by Major Lemond (Ken Jenkins) and General Soong (Burt Kwouk).Not to be confused with Air America Radio.

Anachronism Stew: Not too bad, but some of the songs on the soundtrack actually came out after 1969.

Aluminum Christmas Trees: Air America was a real airline operated by the CIA during The Vietnam War which evidently did in fact smuggle drugs on the side.

Big Damn Heroes: Gene, Billy, and Babo come to rescue Corrine from Soong's troops. When they find out a number of villagers also need saving, Gene dumps his whole stash of weapons(that he was planning to sell for his retirement) to make room for them and then blows the weapons up so Soong's men can't use them.
