max 0 #1 April 13, 2001 Since I havnt jumped in a couple weeks I decided to pump myself up for the weekend by renting and watching Dropzone. Well, I havnt seen this movie since i was a young whuffo myself. Now when I watched it tonight, I noticed all kinds of things wrong with the gear. Didnt anyone working on this film even think about pre-jump inspections. I mean, who were the technical advisors. There was one scene when Wesley Snipes was getting in the plane for his first jump, and the lady with the rig on was talking. The first thing I saw was no main canopy risers and the cutaway housing cables were just hanging there. (kind of made me think of Fandango for a minute....laundry day....lol)Maybe we should have a contest...How many mistakes are in Dropzone the movie? Honestly, if you never noticed before, you have to watch again, and you will see all kinds of stuff.MaxMaster of All Things Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #4 April 13, 2001 Some Porters of old had an internal cargo hatch that could be opened by the pilot in flight to drop supplies/equipment.Respectfully,SP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #5 April 13, 2001 LOL! I'm really good at misinterpreting post subjects. I thought this thread would discuss a movie about us posters -- Dropzone-dot-commers.Who would you want to play you in "Dropzone.com -- The Movie"? It would be a good one, too, full of drama and intrigue. I think Claire Danes would make a nifty Jessica. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deleted 0 #10 April 14, 2001 Actually, porters coul dbe outfitted with a cargo drop hatch or the same thing could be used to mount an aerial camera. However it is only about 2 1/2' by 3 1/2' so it might be hard to get out of, but cool if you could. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
