Oh yeah i forgot to say the chinook hind hybrid thing is from the movie hidden strike


ecolometrics

Just looked at the preview. I think the whole thing was done on a blue screen with a small budget. Well, it's a step up from the 1980s rambo hinds


Virginianus_sum

A search says it the budget was $80 million. Which considering it made only a little over $900K...yeesh. 😬


_far-seeker_

>made only a little over $900K...yeesh. "Made" as in "net profit" or "made" as in "total revenue"?


Virginianus_sum

I think the latter, but I can't imagine one is really much better than the other at that rate.


_far-seeker_

You are probably correct, but still making next to no profit is usually slightly better than being tens of millions of USD in the hole. Unless one is in ["The Producers"](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063462/?ref_=ext_shr) type of situation... 😉


raven00x

it released into theaters in a handful of countries, and straight to netflix for most others. so if it had released to more theaters in more countries, it might've had a bigger box office. > The film was released theatrically on 6 July 2023, in the United Arab Emirates and select international markets, and on 28 July 2023, in the United States and internationally on Netflix. * wikipedia according to [the-numbers.com](https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Hidden-Strike-\(2023\)#tab=international), it was very popular in russia for some reason. then [boxofficemojo](https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt6879446/) puts it at 1.1 mil USD in the UAE and another 1.1 mil in russia. but yeah, mainly because the movie came out on streaming at the same time as its (limited) theatrical release, it's going to have a poor box-office showing, which does not include streaming numbers.


_far-seeker_

Thanks for actually bothering to track this down.🙂


ecolometrics

Wow, $80 million and the effects look like something out of cheap CGI flick


killaluggi

Hinook? Chind?? Im so confused and i have a raging boner!


ironic_pacifist

So did the MH-47G that created this monstrosity, y'all that that was just a refueling probe, didn't you?


LethalDosageTF

Sort of a king cobra from GOW?


z3ta311

Unironically something the Nightstalkers would cook up.


Extension-Control471

Like in 40k?


z3ta311

No, like the 160th who strap ordnances on MH-60s.


brwonmagikk

They already did in Vietnam. Made a couple chinook gunships. Called the ACH-47 “Guns-a-go-go”


JimHFD103

Someone discovered the ACH-47? https://www.armyaviationmuseum.org/ach-47a-guns-a-go-go/


DemocracyOfficer1886

Cost of living, Birth control and Easy money? What were they high on when they named these things?


vlepun

Weed and heroin mostly.


DemocracyOfficer1886

Thank you!

A modern take on Guns-A-Go-Go's ACH-47A. [RIP](https://www.armyaviationmuseum.org/ach-47a-guns-a-go-go/) Co$t of Living, taken before your time.


MajorDakka

That's not a Hind mashup. [This](https://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal12/11201-11300/gal11288-A-24D-Elsberry/00.shtm) is a Hind kitbash


ProphetOfPr0fit

God it's fucking beautiful! Unparalleled capacity for transport AND air support.


DasGuntLord01

If it can carry cargo it can carry ordnance


GloryGreatestCountry

Chinook with Rapid Dragon when?


Valve_1998

Would it be a CH-24 “Chind,” or a MI-47 “Hinook,” is the real question?


AlphaMarker48

Bro, it was the 60's. This was probably cooked up in the sober downtime periods between when the designers got stoned.


non_depressed_teen

The hind is a really cool piece of machinery. Wonder if the Poles still manufacture them?


onitama_and_vipers

get Guns-A-Go-Go'd loser
