Bob_Church 7 #1 December 21, 2016 I just saw the old Raquel Welch movie "Fathom." In a lot of ways its no more than you'd expect from a movie in the late 60s but I was surprised at how relatively good the skydiving stuff was. I mean relative to other movies and tv shows, not reality. There's a lot of silliness but less than most movies, even ones being made today. Has anyone else seen it? And remember it?

Bob_Church 7 #12 December 22, 2016 The odd thing is that she could pack a parachute but couldn't keep her jumpsuit zipped up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And seriously, I think the skydiving stuff holds up a lot better than just about any other movie I've seen, even down to the fact that the captain of the US team still has to have a job to pay the rent. There are a few silly spots of course but overall it wasn't bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycatcher68 7 #14 December 22, 2016 Anyone else notice that the opening title sequence (the parachute packing clip) was done by the same guy that does the 007 openings? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
