justaflygirl 0 #1 October 3, 2004 Just curious... Cutaway is my favorite, I love the adrenalin level the movie presents, among other things, since Ive been jumping I have seen alot of "BS" scenes, but its still a great movie! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morcyk 0 #2 October 3, 2004 Hmm the only one of those I ever saw was Point Break and I really wouldn't consider that one a skydiving movie, so I didn't vote, but thanks for the list just the same so I can go watch some. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sid 1 #3 October 3, 2004 you missed Drop Zone! Wesley going from student to world class competitor in 2 weeks! But Charley Sheen was awesome in Terminal VelocityPete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

elizfowler 0 #7 October 3, 2004 Favorite was Drop Zone... Had a few friends in it as extras and bit parts along with the ever famous Pink Porter that I've jumped from...great flying by the pilot, an old friend as well. Have to say that Wesley was also pretty cool but I am a Gary Busey fan from way back. Other that that one I'd have to say Point Break which would run a close second if not tie with Drop Zone. Thanks for the POLL!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adamjenner 0 #8 October 3, 2004 DROPZONE!!!! it isn't my favorite but i think it deserves to be up there. I watched terminal velocity last night. I love how Sheen cuts away, deploys his reserve but when he lands his reserve is still closed and only the main compartment is open Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerrcoin 0 #9 October 4, 2004 QuoteI love how Sheen cuts away, deploys his reserve but when he lands his reserve is still closed and only the main compartment is openIn dropzone, after the CReW wrap and cutaway sequence you can see the reserve container is open. I was impressed with that little detail.Didn't Tom Aiello do most of the BASE stuff on this. Shows.Plus, is it just my imagination, or does Gary Busey very suited to the role of a skydiver. I don't know why but he just comes across as a real skydiver. Does anyone know if he actually jumps.Edit: misspelled Gary Busey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windcatcher 0 #10 October 4, 2004 definitely Cutaway! I mean, come on, who can forget the wind tunnel segment, with Entrain's "We Are All Connected-All One" song playing in the background?! And when Vic gets his A license, closing pin necklace, his kiss pass!!! Awww, skydiving is soooooooooo romantic! OR maybe I'm just thinking it is , my ex gave me Cutaway as a gift. Fandango is definitely the funniest though! Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pajarito 0 #11 October 4, 2004 “Honeymoon in Vegas (1992).” Not my favorite skydiving movie but has a good parachute scene nonetheless. Thought I’d add to the list. It also has sentimental value as I used to do "Elvis" jumps paid for by the city of Columbus, GA in the early to mid-90's. Hey baby...Elvis has left the airplane... P.S. I was the young Elvis.

MWGemini 0 #14 October 4, 2004 Dropzone is definitely the best in terms of acting and cinematic quality, but Cutaway is a classic and is great to laugh at. Plus you get to see the guy from Starship Troopers be the bad guy with a non regulation hair cut in the Golden Knights. Somebody told me it makes for a great drinking game movie as well.

Cutaway is my favorite too. I picked up a copy for less than the cost of the tape it was recorded on. Can't beat a deal like that!... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
