Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A classic move for every Kaiju from King Kong to Clover, this is when a giant monster or similar menace lashes out and destroys a helicopter or other low-flying aircraft. The aircraft might be attacking the monster, circling too close to capture footage of the creature (news crews, beware this trope!), or simply passing by and/or trying to get the hell away from it. One of the many hazards of being an Acrophobic Bird, and a standard tactic for filmmakers to justify a monster not simply being blown away by an air-to-ground missile. Of course if the threat is ground-based, and the pilots would logically know it possessed no ranged weaponry, this may be a case of Too Dumb to Live. |
