The hero is being chased by some Mooks in a helicopter. He's probably on a car or motorbike (rarely running). The baddies are shooting automatic weapons at him, but they've of course attended the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy. But wait, the hero has just gotten himself into a wide open space with no exit! He's trapped! The helicopter first comes to a low altitude, and you may think the baddies would just open fire en masse and rain hot lead all over the place because, hey, there's only so many bullets a hero can dodge. But no, that'd be too easy. Instead, the helicopter first hovers right above ground, then tilts forward at a very steep angle. It then proceeds to slowly move forward, its rotor becoming a deadly, razor-sharp weapon that slices and dices everything it touches. All sorts of objects, people, even vehicles are thrown aside and shredded to pieces by the Helicopter Blender. The hero seems doomed, but at the last moment, he always finds a way out (bonus points if it involves jumping over the helicopter). Other variants: The helicopter is just hovering in midair, not doing anything much, and someone falls off a cliff, railing or other flying vehicle, gets chopped up by the blades and ends up as a red mess on the canopy. The helicopter invariably keeps hovering in place, its pilot(s) deeply disgusted by the new shade they're seeing the world through but otherwise fearing no consequence. The helicopter itself breaks up, but the still-spinning rotor is used to deal damage to someone. Before the helicopter takes off, or after it has landed, a person can be pushed into the spinning rotors. Trying this in real life, is, of course, very, very ill-advised. Helicopter blades are quite fragile - or at least, fragile if slamming themselves against something very hard. Even birds damage blades. Thus, any helicopter pilot who tries this may well succeed in killing both themselves and their target, most especially if airborne. Transforming Mecha with a helicopter as a secondary mode (and Combining Mecha with a helicopter as a component) often have these as a weapon, but it can be assumed that their blades are specifically designed with said use in mind. Subtrope of Deadly Rotary Fan. Compare Turbine Blender. See also Hellish Copter. |

Die Hard: Played with in Die Hard with a Vengeance. The Big Bad's helicopter hits a light pole with its main rotor, producing a shower of sparks; however, instead of this causing the rotor to shatter and the helicopter to simply drop a few metres on the ground, the whole thing just blows up for no clearly defined reason. In A Good Day to Die Hard, the tail rotor of the helicopter the bad guys are using winds up being inadvertently used to puree Yuri Komorov, who's knocked off of a building the helicopter was flying near, during a fight with the junior John McClane, in a Disney Death subversion. |

Starting in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, rotary blades on badniks tend to damage Sonic and company if struck. The boss of Hydrocity Zone Act 2 is all about this trope, in fact, as Eggman tries to suck you up into the propeller on the underside of his vehicle. If you play as Tails, this is also how he has to attack Eggman in the Marble Garden Zone. | |

James Bond Tomorrow Never Dies has this (and is indeed the Trope Codifier). Everybody's favorite secret agent James Bond finds himself in a large square on a motorbike, with a helicopter leaning forward and trying to blend him (and his female companion). It fails, as they manage to slide under it and motor away, but cuts up plenty of material while trying. The chopper does crash in the end — not due to physics exacting its revenge, but because a heavy rope gets thrown in the blades, tangling them and causing it to lose lift and crash. Because the blades can shred metal, but rope, that's tough! Later averted in The World Is Not Enough, where the helicopter just has several enormous rotary saw blades dangling from a helicopter instead. (It was designed to fly above treetop level and use the rotary saw blades below it to clear branches, and in fact, was seen doing so earlier in the movie. Not only that, but the device is actually a real-life tool, called an "Aerial saw," which is used to trim trees in remote or hard-to-reach locations.) For a third James Bond example, this nearly happened in real life during the filming of From Russia with Love. Sean Connery had a real-life hero moment when a stunt helicopter was coming in too steeply and heading straight for co-star Daniela Bianchi. Connery tackled her out of the way, if he'd been any slower, she would have been decapitated by the rotors. Clearly, he was the right man to play Bond. |

In the mobile/Steam versions of Bloons Tower Defense 5 (carried into future games using the unit), the Heli Pilot's 3/x upgrade qualifies as this, as it deals damage to any bloons the Heli Pilot flies over. On the one hand, this is being used to pop balloons. On the other, the most important point of this upgrade is that it allows the helicopter to pop metal balloons (and will be employed to chew through masses of ceramic armor and zeppelin hulls soon enough after). | |

One of the bosses in Contra: Hard Corps uses this as an attack, complete with sparks flying as it grinds towards the vertical shaft walls. Might be justified in that it's meant to be a versatile killer mecha to begin with, but it's probably more of a question of Rule of Cool being in effect, considering this is Contra we're talking about. | |

Half-Life 2: In Ravenholm, there are several makeshift devices that are basically helicopter blenders, without the helicopter. Such a device is just an engine with a scrap-metal blade crudely attached to the drive shaft. It cuts zombies, and you, if you're not careful, in half! From the same game are "manhacks", which are spinning, flying, bladed robots about the size of a football. Their goal is to fly into you and do what their name says. Between their own clumsiness and the knockback from your weapons, they spend a lot of time grinding against concrete walls and other immovable objects, with no apparent ill effect. |

The first episode of Metalocalypse has the band telling their current helicopter chef that all their previous helicopter chefs have died in freak accidents. Cue an unsettling grinding sound as the chopper goes off-balance and the chef freaks out — then cut to the pilot assuring them that "we're just chewing through a few thousand doves up here; don't worry, the rotors will grind them into paste in no time." Later, the chef is launched out a window upwards into the blades and torn to shreds. He got better... mostly. "SEWN! BACK! TOGETHER WRONG!" This is Dethklok's personal transport chopper we're talking about. Whatever ungodly strong material the rotor is made from, it's probably designed to do this kind of thing. |

An aversion of this concludes Resident Evil 4. After stealing the final sample, Ada jumps off of a platform. Less than five seconds later, a helicopter rises over the platform with Ada in the passenger compartment. Granted, she has a grappling hook able to zip her around quite well, so she could have dropped past it and hooked onto a skid (with a really good pilot and really good timing), but it's double-take worthy. Just accept it as an application of Rule of Cool. | |

Cap manages to hang on and, due to the propeller being on the back of the plane, the poor mook he was fighting against falls right into the blades and turns into instant red mist. | |

He hitches a ride on a mook's plane and ends up in a fight with another on it. The one driving it tries to tilt the plane to throw Cap off. Cap manages to hang on and, due to the propeller being on the back of the plane, the poor mook he was fighting against falls right into the blades and turns into instant red mist. Happens again in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, this time with a S.H.I.E.L.D. Pilot being knocked into the turbine of a quinjet by The Winter Soldier. In The Avengers, Iron Man and Captain America have to stabilize one of the Helicarier's propellers, and Iron Man has to jump in order to do the repairs. Things go awry and Iron Man winds up getting shredded by the blades; it's a good thing he has his armor on, for if he didn't... Shows up yet again in Captain America: Civil War, when Bucky is temporarily re-brainwashed by Zemo and, when Cap keeps his escape chopper from taking off, he tries to use the still-moving blades to kill him instead. On the bright side, Cap's Plot Armor means this is the first time in his movies that no-one dies of this trope. |

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has a helicopter being shot down and digging itself into the ground while sliding towards the player and his partner. The latter frantically tries to get away from the blades, which come to a stop just before hitting him. He's still injured in the process, though, and you have to carry him around for the rest of the level. | |

Although it violated several other laws of physics, The Italian Job (2003) remake averted this trope. The pilot didn't threaten the main character with his rotor blade, and when he tried to block his mini with his tail-rotor, the mini won. To the helicopter's and the pilot's credit, it didn't immediately spin out and crash, but the damage forced the pilot to land immediately and the Big Bad had to find alternate transport by carjacking someone's truck. | |

28 Weeks Later also has an awesome use of this against an army of infected, truly earning the pilot his badass credentials. To clarify, the pilot had to fly with the blades spinning, angled downwards and at a height of fewer than 2 meters off the ground. He does it, survives, kills a heap of zombies and flies off into the sunset, leaving dozens of mangled, twitching corpses in his wake. | |

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City introduced helicopters to the series as a vehicle you could drive, and this trope came as part of the package. It's difficult to pull off in a full-sized rig, but it will kill whoever you manage to hit. Somehow, the RC helicopter can do this, too, which is actually vitally important in the story mission where you use it (it's the only way to take out the armed guards). You know you're living in Vice City when even kids' toys double as a lethal weapon. Hobby-grade radio controlled helicopters are actually quite deadly. You're talking about a machine with a 4hp engine swinging 600mm carbon fiber blades at 2200rpm. Even the small 500 class machines are basically flying lawnmowers with 1500 watt brushless electric motors and 430mm blades that can easily dismember and kill if it hits someone. One of the missions in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ends with both versions of this trope: a police helicopter tilts forward, threatening to slice up the protagonists' vehicle, and a police officer on the hood of said vehicle ends up minced in the process. In Grand Theft Auto IV, helicopter blending is the most popular (if not the only) pastime in online multiplayer. In "Chopper vs. Chopper" mode of The Lost And Damned add-on, this is one of the best ways to kill your opponent. There's even a friendly variation involving a tall building, a helicopter, and a physics glitch, while Grand Theft Auto V has an inversion with the helicopter's only known predator: the windmill farm. |

Done in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. The Silver Surfer flies above the place where Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman are having their wedding, disrupting the controls of a nearby press helicopter. It careens wildly and crashes right on the place where the ceremony is being held. As it's skidding, its rotor blades hit the ground and start throwing chairs and other assorted objects in the air. The chopper is then stopped rather unceremoniously by The Thing, who proceeds to rip its tail off. It's a bit less unrealistic, as the helicopter is not deliberately used as a weapon, but the rotor really should have broken up and/or flipped the helicopter over... | |

Machete Kills had a lot of fun with this one. First Machete guts Zaror, throwing his intestines into the rotor blades so he's reeled up into them. Then Machete is flying to safety when his helicopter is damaged by mooks in a powerboat. He leaps into the boat then, as the unmanned chopper spins wildly out of control overhead, fires a harpoon into it, attaching the other end to a mook who's pulled into the air and the rotor blades — the mook gets shredded, then blown up with the helicopter. Later improved by Machete by attaching his grappling hook to the rotor and using his machete to decapitate mooks faster than the eye can see. | |

Gundam: Mobile Suit Victory Gundam justifies this with humongous mecha equipped with beam rotors. That is to say, their blades were effectively lightsabers, so chopping things up with them would be rather easy. (Actually flying, however, we're not so sure about.) In the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray: Red Frame short, Lowe attaches the head of a BuCUE to Red Frame's arm so he can use the double-ended beam saber in its "mouth". He then rigs it to spin, creating much the same effect as a Beam Rotor. May or may not have been a Shout-Out, given that the upgrade was a one-shot with a shorter lifespan than most of the Red Frame's. |

Cassie of the Animorphs once tried to deliberately jam up a helicopter's blades with her own transformed-into-a-humpback whale body: a desperate ploy to be sure, but they believed that if Cassie were in the form of a humpback whale, she would survive. And they were correct in predicting that the helicopter wouldn't have survived this attack and that this particular helicopter was so important that it was worth the risk. The helicopter, seeing an enemy coming down towards its propeller, dodged out of the way and so both the helicopter and Cassie were safe. But as luck would have it, an ordinary seagull got caught in its propeller, and this was the end of the threat posed by that helicopter. And the poor seagull. | |

At one time, aircraft propellers were actually started by a man going up, grabbing a propeller blade, and shoving it down. Many observers were terrified of what might happen. (Compare with the Raiders of the Lost Ark scene.) There is at least one instance of this happening to a dog during the early days of flight. An English pilot was preparing to do a Channel crossing when a dog ran onto the tarmac and in front of the plane as the pilot was throttling up. There was not much left of the unfortunate pooch. |

The hero threatens to do this to a suspect in the film Basic. The story is about former Army Ranger Tom Hardy being asked by his old friend who's still in the military to investigate what happened during a training exercise that killed a group of Ranger trainees and their notorious Drill Sergeant Nasty. There are only two living witnesses from the group of trainees, both of whom are telling very different stories about what happened. At one point, it's revealed that one of the witnesses was definitely lying and Hardy catches up to the guy as he's about to be flown off the base, grabs the guy, and threatens to shove him into the plane's propeller, then interrogates him mere feet from the propeller blade. Although it turns out to be a subversion, as Hardy and the trainee are actually in cahoots are using the fact that no one else can hear them over the propeller to plan their next move. | |

The flying saucers ("Velocipods") that Syndrome's minions used in The Incredibles were apparently designed with this trope in mind. The craft fly by means of a spinning metal disc — a cross between helicopter rotors and a sawblade — around the edge. The rotor is capable of tilting (for keeping the craft upright while turning, and for trying to slice trespassers to bits) and strong enough to cut through a palm tree without sustaining notable damage. | |

In Warhammer 40,000, the deranged Orks that pilot Deffkoptas take great joy in using the rotor blades of their ramshackle craft to mince enemy troops in combat, laughing raucously as the sharpened propellers removes heads and limbs. The 8th Edition of the game represents this with the spinnin' blades weapon that can make multiple attacks each turn. | |

Contra: One of the bosses in Contra: Hard Corps uses this as an attack, complete with sparks flying as it grinds towards the vertical shaft walls. Might be justified in that it's meant to be a versatile killer mecha to begin with, but it's probably more of a question of Rule of Cool being in effect, considering this is Contra we're talking about. The helicopter mini-bosses from Level 2 in Hard Corps: Uprising will occasionally land on either side of the screen and throw their blades at the players. Neo Contra has one even more ridiculous example an aversion to boot - ever seen a man RUNNING on the blade and fighting enemy robots at once? |

Played with in Die Hard with a Vengeance. The Big Bad's helicopter hits a light pole with its main rotor, producing a shower of sparks; however, instead of this causing the rotor to shatter and the helicopter to simply drop a few metres on the ground, the whole thing just blows up for no clearly defined reason. | |

In Mega Man 5, the helicopter-based Gyro Man's signature weapon is the Gyro Attack, which lets him (and Mega Man, once he beats him) throw out helicopter rotors like shuriken. The wolverine/kamaitachi-based Hurricaune the Wolveroid from Mega Man ZX has no less than five energy-based helicopter rotors, with two on her arms, two on her legs, and one going around her chest and upper back. She can use them both to fly and to slice up her victims. |

In Grand Theft Auto IV, helicopter blending is the most popular (if not the only) pastime in online multiplayer. In "Chopper vs. Chopper" mode of The Lost And Damned add-on, this is one of the best ways to kill your opponent. There's even a friendly variation involving a tall building, a helicopter, and a physics glitch, while Grand Theft Auto V has an inversion with the helicopter's only known predator: the windmill farm. |

Near the end of Mission: Impossible, Krieger (Jean Reno) flies a helicopter into a train tunnel (specifically, the one used by the TGV train for crossing the English Channel) and attempts this on Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise). The rotors even bounce off the walls with no ill effects (only some pretty sparks). The effect is invoked in the end when the helicopter crashes as the train comes to a stop, leaving one blade, broken to a sharp point from all the previous action, coming to a stop inches from Ethan's neck. Nothing explains the absence of overhead power lines on the railway and over the train though, which would have made the use of a helicopter in this whole sequence even more dangerous for the aircraft and pilot. | |

You can do this in (at least the DS version) of the Transformers (2007) game of the movie when using a helicopter form, but it only really works on random vehicles driving around, and only damages them a little bit. In the PS2/Xbox-360 versions of the Transformers movie games, Blackout and Grindor use their helicopter rotors as powerful melee weapons, swinging them (folded up) as swords or unfurling them to spin them. As could be expected, these characters do the second-highest melee damage in the games, second only to Megatron, quickly trashing large numbers of the smaller enemies with every swing. (Especially visible during Blackout's boss fight vs Ironhide). |

Understanding that an affair with his boss is a really bad idea, he briefly attempts to kill Tony to Murder the Hypotenuse by shoving him into the spinning tail rotor of a helicopter parked on a casino roof when no one's looking, but chickens out and plays it off like he was pulling Tony away from the edge. Furio flees back to Naples after this, but Tony is too drunk to even remember the incident and simply bemoans the sudden loss of a top enforcer. | |

Tomorrow Never Dies has this (and is indeed the Trope Codifier). Everybody's favorite secret agent James Bond finds himself in a large square on a motorbike, with a helicopter leaning forward and trying to blend him (and his female companion). It fails, as they manage to slide under it and motor away, but cuts up plenty of material while trying. The chopper does crash in the end — not due to physics exacting its revenge, but because a heavy rope gets thrown in the blades, tangling them and causing it to lose lift and crash. Because the blades can shred metal, but rope, that's tough! | |

Many Transformers with helicopter alternate modes can do this, in part because their rotors usually become a sword or blade weapon, and partly because they are the copter and can thus maneuver correctly without falling.

In Left 4 Dead, the blades of the various escape helicopters aren't instant-kill, but they do deal out a nice chunk of damage, and then very quickly do it again, so odds are it will kill you. Normally this wouldn't concern the Survivors (unless you're playing Low Gravity), but Specials like the high-flying Hunter and Jockey can get chopped up if they aren't careful with their last-ditch attacks. | |
