kimgriffin 0 #1 March 27, 2003 Holy shit, you have to check out the trailer for Tomb Raider II: http://www.tombraidermovie.com/index.shtml I'm all choked up - it's so f-ing cool to see wingsuit flying on what will be the big screen! It's obviously not Angelina and the guy with her flying the suits, but Swedish flyers/BASE jumpers Martin Rosen and Per Flare. Yeah.... that made my day!!! ~Kim-Kimberly Griffin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin922 0 #2 March 27, 2003 Awesome! (btw it's in the trailer guys) I may go just because of that :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gus 1 #3 March 27, 2003 Pretty cool, two of my favourite things at the same time! If only she was forced to land the suit in a big vat of jelly I might just die a happy man. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin922 0 #7 March 27, 2003 Yeah i just noticed in the 2 pics I posted that the legstraps are misrouted.. they're on the outside of the suit :) jeez.. they coulda hired a skydiver to follow jolie around to make sure she gets her suit on correctly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin922 0 #9 March 27, 2003 Okay I am one of those types who likes to find errors in films.. i was watching the trailer and slowed it down, right when the 2 jump off the ledge.. it appears they are NOT wearing wingsuits. there is no way they could get their arms up as high as they did (and there is no wing there) then it shows them flying... hummm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TB99 0 #10 March 27, 2003 I saw that too!! I saw them running with them on (legs not zipped? didn't look like a waddle) and next thing I saw was them jumping without! I was thinking, WTF? Then I saw them flying and felt much better ... so it wasn't done that well, but who cares, they're using it!! Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!

cpoxon 0 #13 March 28, 2003 I've extracted the BASE/wingsuit/parachute section of the trailer and uploaded it to ftp://ftp.skydivingmovies.com/uploads/TombRaiderBirdMan.WMV (608 Kb) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpoxon 0 #14 March 28, 2003 Yes, it's weird. Not only are the guys who did the jump experienced BASErs and wingsuiters, they are experienced wingsuit BASErs. It looks from the backdrop that they did the jumps; I guess a running exit in a suit either wasn't easy or didn't look good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManBird 0 #16 March 28, 2003 OK, so it goes like this... RUNNING with the wingsuit. Exiting without the wingsuit from a few hundred feet. Flying the wingsuit at a few thousand feet. Canopy. Leg straps make it outside the suit. Nonetheless, that was some seriously proper flight by Martin and Per Fler, both in the BASE jump and wingsuit flights. What's funny is that people will probably see this movie, see the wingsuit scene, and be like, "Yeah, right... that's bullshit." When they eventually find out that this exists, their minds will be boggled. BOGGLED!"¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cpoxon 0 #18 March 28, 2003 I'm guessing that's from a different part of the film due to the savanna type background. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #19 March 28, 2003 I just noticed that Per has just registered a username here at DZ.com.Maybe he can tell us more about the jumps, so we can all envy him. Rumor has it they made something like 80 jumps in the week of filming.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
