Yakuza Weapon (2011) - this Japanese comedy horror sees the
hero's arm hacked off by the Gatling guns of a Black Hawk helicopter (entirely CGI), and the villains escape in their gunship from a rooftop but,
even while injured, the gangster hero fires a grenade to shoot down the getaway chopper over the city skyline.
YatterMan (2009) - Takashi Miike's live-action cartoon whimsy
features a CGI mini-rotorcraft Toybotty, which hovers around the superheroes' underground toy workshop base, and goes on quest missions to help find
the prize skull stone.

Yesterday (2002) - this Korean sci-fi actioner features a Bell 204 'Huey' in an opening sequence, and there's also a Boeing MD-500 Defender in
later scenes, including a jetty where the kidnapped police chief's body is found.
You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008) - a Huey picks up the Israeli superhero soldier from a beach during the opening sequence of this distinctly
unfunny 'comedy' starring irksome nitwit Adam Sandler.
You Only Live Twice 
(1967) - here's another James Bond movie with great rotary action, including 007's autogyro...
Sean Connery's original British super-spy pilots heavily-armed 'Little Nellie' (it's actually a Wallis WA-116 autogyro), which is delivered in
packing crates while Bond is on a mission overseas). On a recon flight, he deals with four attacking helicopters (these are Kawasaki-Bell 47G-3,
which is a licence-built version of the world famous Bell 47), causing two of them to collide in midair! This movie also has the amusing scene
where a mighty twin-rotor chopper (the Kawasaki KV-107II, a licence-built Boeing CH-46 Sea Knight) uses a powerful electromagnet to airlift the
gunmen's car off the coast road, when Bond is pursued by some killers, and it drops the bad guys' vehicle into the sea.

Notes:
"Other helicopters appearing in You Only Live Twice... a Brantley B2 is used as an air-taxi to reach Blofeld's (Donald Pleasence)
secret hideout in a volcano, and a French-built Aerospatiale Alouette 316B ferries Bond to the ninja training area." -
