tbrown 25 #26 August 18, 2009 QuoteThere was a beautiful real live BASE jump off Angel Falls in that Robin Williams film where he'd died and gone to heaven. Uh yeah, that one was called "What Dreams May Come". I checked the credits at the end of the film and spotted Jack Brake's name as one of the stunt men. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Cutaway68 4 #27 August 18, 2009 One of the oldest movies is Beach Blanket Bingo. There's some cool footage of some old style jumping. Taken from Wikipedia: A singer, Sugar Kane (Linda Evans), is unwittingly being used for publicity stunts for her latest album by her agent (Paul Lynde), for example, faking a sky diving stunt, actually performed by Bonnie (Deborah Walley). Meanwhile, Frankie (Frankie Avalon), (duped into thinking he rescued Sugar Kane), takes up skydiving, prompted by Bonnie, who secretly wants to make her boyfriend, Steve (John Ashley) jealous. This, of course, prompts Dee Dee (Annette Funicello) to also try free-falling. Eric Von Zipper and his Malibu Rat Pack bikers also show up, with Von Zipper falling madly in love with Sugar Kane. To top all this, Bonehead (Jody McCrea) falls in love with a mermaid (Marta Kristen). Eventually, Von Zipper "puts the snatch" on Sugar Kane. The film takes a The Perils of Pauline-like twist, with the evil South Dakota Slim (Timothy Carey) kidnapping Sugar and tying her to a buzz-saw. Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this." The optimist says, "Sure, it can." Be fun, have safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
