YMMV / Air America

• 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.
• Awesome Music: Among others, The Edgar Winter Group's "Free Ride" over the opening credits.
• Funny Moments: A few; for starters, Billy buzzing the semi-driver:
  ...Not unlike this complete MORON here in the brown eighteen-wheeler...
  • Billy's first day.
  That's not a landing strip, it's a mountain! Please don't do this!
  Hey, you know, that would make a great commercial! "Excuse me, is that an Uzi? Why, yes, it is..."
• Harsher in Hindsight: Robert Downey Jr. in a film involving drugs. Awkward...
  • In the Hmong community, the film is poorly regarded due to its unflattering depiction of Vang Pao (re-named Lu Soong), a very highly-regarded leader who helped save many of their lives while they were facing oppression by the Laotian regime.
  • Yet another movie with Mel Gibson "acting" crazy.
  • This may be Robert Downey Jr.'s first time buzzing somebody, but it won't be the last.
• Tear Jerker: Jack's last flight is searching for Gene and Billy after their helicopter gets shot down.
