Chicago Tribune -
John Badham's exciting thriller about an L.A. detective (Roy Scheider) who battles against the government creeps who have created a monstrous helicopter to be used for 1984-style crowd control. Great action in a David-versus-Goliath story. [22 July 1983, p.10]

The New York Times -
The action sequences are what the film is all about, and these are remarkably well done, including a climactic, largely bloodless shootout among helicopters and jet fighters over Los Angeles.

TV Guide Magazine -
Expertly executed action flick that starts out fast and winds up faster. We've seen it all before, but the execution here supersedes the concept.

Variety -
Blue Thunder is a ripsnorting live-action cartoon, utterly implausible but no less enjoyable for that.

Washington Post -
Blue Thunder hovers just this side of trash and the other side of credibility, but it propels a willing audience into adrenaline heaven.
