Jasmin 0 #1 May 3, 2006 What's cruise's obsession with BASE jumping? Anyone else seen it?xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subterminal 0 #2 May 3, 2006 Him being a skydiver could be part of the explanation. Apart from that base jumping makes any movie better. The jump in "Along came Polly" was one of my most memorable cinematic experiences. Bryan Brown: "I'm just gonna do a bit of a BASE jump". I've seen a lot of fun pre-jump rituals, but his streching outdo them allCJ=) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasmin 0 #3 May 4, 2006 I'm with you on 'Along came Polly'. I saw it with Jimmy Freeman and we were in tears laughing at that linexj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

subterminal 0 #5 May 4, 2006 Funny. I just turned the TV on and 20/20 is doing a story on the making of MI III. They showed the jump... The late John Hoover made a very similar jump back in the 80s. SpectacularCJ=) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

medusa 0 #9 May 4, 2006 I post the original script for Mission imposible III in the BASE forum, I made a few modifications so it could work with Jeb. It looks like no one like it! MedusaMedusa Get Killed or Die Trying! Patent pending ATFK15456 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subterminal 0 #10 May 4, 2006 QuotePlease tell us more about the story that is in common with John Hoover, BASE 95. I miss John. Let's say the jump included a somewhat spectacular office entry... Tom Cruise probably walks away unhurt after the jump, old Hoover wasn't that lucky. He did walk away with one of the best base stories I've been told to day though, and I'm super happy I got to meet and jump with John at the start of my base career.

dmcoco84 5 #11 May 5, 2006 Anyone know if Cruise has actually made a BASE jump? And how many skydives does he have? Coco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifewithoutanet 0 #12 May 5, 2006 If it's the one I'm thinking about, it's the visuals just before and during the second exit on that same jump that really make it spectacular. -C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicrussell 0 #13 May 5, 2006 i HIGHLY doubt the sudio would let a star of Cruise's caliber to BASE. Skydive, they probably would let slide. But if something went wrong, just immagine the heads that would roll. no clue on his skydive #, but he is an accomplished pilot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmcoco84 5 #14 May 5, 2006 No, I'm not talking about in the movie. I agree with you no that one but what about in his personal time? Coco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shunkka 0 #15 May 5, 2006 all the stars have very specific contract with what they can do in private life example: michael schumacher (f1-pilot) can ski or ride the snowboard only when ferrari organize an event for promoting all the stars slowly becomes someone property with a nice life but without the freedom of choice that`s sad... but in this bussines money rulls the world sorry for my silly english ------------------------- "jump, have fun, pull" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
