Godzilla, 1998. 

The first Apache AH-64 chase thru the streets of NYFC.  They lose Godzilla and he winds up taking out 2 choppers and the last makes a run for it, and gets chased thru the streets.  Then as the pilot reports he's lost the target, Godzilla comes up from the street and snaps the chopper off from the rotor on down.

The Apache has an operational ceiling of around 10,000'.  The highest building in NYFC is under 2000'.  Godzilla appeares to be about 1000' tall. 

Why couldn't the pilot climb to 1500+ *AGL to escape?? 

*AGL = Above Ground Level
