hudsonderek 0 #1 January 11, 2009 I'm sitting here watching terminal Velocity and am wondering what happened to the commonly known hollywood movies where skydiving was a major theme? Seems like the only time a newer movie has skydiving in it is when an agent jumps into his destination, I want a good hollywood movie with skydiving as a major theme. the 80's seemed like a booming time for jumping, I think some films might have made skydiving more known.

Good times!!! Man, thinking about Shaun Tomson.... back in the day..... yum! I miss being a surf chick... Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSBIRD 1 #5 January 11, 2009 To most whuffo's, skydiving is like Nascar...going around and around, and never getting anywhere. Kinda boring after a while...sorta like skydiving! 359"Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumperpaula 0 #6 January 11, 2009 Skydiving themes have been used this millenium in advertising more than before. For example http://www.spike.com/video/bud-light-skydiving/2824404 The Film 'Cutaway' was released in 2000 ~ only 9 short years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
