Nick 0 #2 December 16, 2003 Are you thinking of the film called Fandango http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0790740176/104-9249634-7480763?v=glance? Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aromain 0 #5 December 16, 2003 if you go to skydivingmovies.com there is a tv section and there is that part of the movie, but it is still a great movie to watch------------------------------------------------ "Matter fact go and get your chrome, cause I'd rather be, broke thogether, then rich alone."

sdctlc 0 #6 December 16, 2003 That is a great movie. If your a jumper the skydiving scene is worth watching the movie but the whole movie is very funny! Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aviatrr 0 #7 December 16, 2003 As somebody already stated, it's Fandango. It's a great movie - for more than just the skydiving related stuff. If you can find it, rent it. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usedtajump 1 #9 December 17, 2003 The skydiving scene in Fandango was actually a remake of a college film course project called "Proof". All the actors were different except Truman (Marvin J. McIntyre) the burnt out jumpmaster and some were even skydivers. The dialouge is the same as is the airport and the jump plane. I met the guy who played the original character "Dorman" in the "Proof" version. He was asked to come in and audition for the same part in "Fandango" but by that time he had lost 75 pounds and most of his hair. Needless to say, he didn't get the part. "Proof" used to be a beer tent staple on the boogie circuit in the early 80s and at that time, the ground school scene didn't seem that far removed from a lot of people's FJC experiencesThe older I get the less I care who I piss off.
