Or in Tomorrow Never Dies when the AStar uses the main rotor to slowly chop up a marketplace in pursuit of Pierce Brosnan and Michelle Yeoh, in an attitude that would make for a Vne dive, rather than a sedate chop-across-the-square.

Or in Mission Impossible when Jean Reno flies an MD530 down a train tunnel and the train coming the other way doesn't kick up enough turbulence to knock him into next year.

In fact, the movies get it wrong so much that I almost applauded when in The Italian Job Alan Purwin got the tail rotor of his MD500 knocked off in an underground garage, and he calmly did a throttle chop and hover auto. Wow. Something done right in a movie.
