skyrider 0 #6 August 5, 2009 I didn't agree with much of the Cretic,(sp?) of those movies, but then the author was very young, and hadn't really seen what it took to make the older flicks! I'd like to have seen that same artical written by BJ Worth, Or Jim Wallace...Now that woudl be some good reading! (Not intended as an insult to the author,,,Just my Opinion.)

wmw999 2,534 #7 August 5, 2009 "A Sport is Born" was not on there; neither was "Wings" (although that one wasn't really mainstream), and "Eraser." I don't think "The Longest Day" was in there, although I'm not quite as sure about that one. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OlympiaStoica 0 #9 August 5, 2009 Where does one find all those "skydiving" movies I never heard of? I can't image I'll just find them at the video rental store ... or am I? O Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuna-Salad 0 #11 August 5, 2009 You all fail! Rambo was the movie they forgot to add. Rambo first blood part 2, static line jump from some sort of business jet. He got hung up and had to use his oversized knife to cut away. What the hell am I gonna do with you...Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

DFWAJG 4 #13 August 6, 2009 Yeah, well they didn't mention College Road Trip, either. Which, featured jumpers from The Ranch! I get a big kick out of Emma all cute and running out the skyvan. I loved the whole scene. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NealFitz 0 #14 August 6, 2009 i have never seen the paracjutist etc- but thr Transporter had skydiving in itDudeist Skydiver #170 You do not need a parachute to skydive, you only need one to skydive again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topdocker 0 #15 August 6, 2009 What about the opening scene of Powerrangers? topJump more, post less! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SStewart 13 #16 August 6, 2009 Who framed Roger Rabbit had the base jumping scene. Mickey Mouse had the famous line "isn't it kinda dangerous jumping without a parachute?" Then he and Bugs Bunny (who were wearing rigs) both open and the detective goes in. But since it is a cartoon he doesn't die, I think he bounces off something, I don't remember.Onward and Upward!

dandandan 0 #17 August 6, 2009 i was 6 years old when that came out. THAT was when i knew i would be skydiving later on. dorky i know. but the fact that it wasnt on the list kinda mad me angry. hahaI'd wait for you outside the courtoom. Taunting; when all of your appeals were declined. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEB6363 0 #18 August 6, 2009 So, you're saying the other movies Wendy listed WERE in the article?? Or, you just didn't get your answer Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it begs an already nagging question: What about Shoot-em-Up (2007)?

Phosphorus8 0 #21 August 10, 2009 How about fathom? My TiVo recorded that one for me, it had this awesome skydive chick in an all gold jumpsuit, they were looking for treasure or something, I can't remember!

davjohns 1 #22 August 10, 2009 I just watched 'Die Another Day' again. The bad guy parachutes into his own knighting. His chute had the union jack on top.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclekenny01 0 #23 August 16, 2009 Cutaway was #29 on the listQuote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites TKE_440 0 #24 August 17, 2009 I can't remember if it is In Like Flint or Our Man Flint, but one of those two he jumped from a lear and got to read the paper on the way down delivered from another jumper! Hilarious to watch really! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites tbrown 26 #25 August 17, 2009 There was a beautiful real live BASE jump off Angel Falls in that Robin Williams film where he'd died and gone to heaven. Also, some spectacular airborne footage in "A Bridge Too Far". They hired the British 1st Airborne Division to make those jumps, static lining out of DC-3's, with their 1970's direct bag deployed canopies with anti inversion netting. But the door shots were stunning ! Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !
