Pick your favorite skydiving movie

[BillyVance 34]

Okay, I know most skydiving movies have stupid or inane skydiving scenes in them... but which one's your favorite?

Point break for sure!!!

Which movie does a group of guys go to a drop zone, and their friend ends up taking off with a rig full of laundry?

"The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall"

That would be Fandango

VIRTUS JUNXIT MORS NON SEPARABIT

[wmw999 2,171]

That one would be Fandango. Which is definitely the most watchable of the movies.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Fandango!!!!!

Especially when Captain Jack goes head down

Noooobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!! M.P.F.C.

Damn... I forgot to include Terminal Velocity...

Like that would get any votes anyway...

None of the movies I've made are on there, so I choose not to vote!

do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats? ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?

You not only forgot Terminal Velosity... but you forgot a really really old one.
"The Skydivers"
It can be seen if you rent it on the MST3k DVD's
Not an easy find, but has some good OLD skydiving footage.

Fandango, Fandango, Fandango, or just Proof.
What is the name of the moldy oldy where Rachael Welch(?sp?) does a beach jump with a cheapo or a Para Commander?

That was "Don't Make Waves," the one Bob Buquor drowned on during the filming.

Gypsy Moths.

Gotta love old school. Especially Gene Hackman and Deb Kerr. Watching that takes it back to a simpler time.

It was a tough choice, but point break is #1

"it is 100% pure adrenaline baby, some guys snort for it, other guys jab a vein for it - all you got to do is jump"

I agree with Quack. "Gypsy Moths" was a great movie...especially for those times. I mean...watching Scott Wilson floating around tossing out ParaCommanders and flying around with four of them inflated was so unique!
I took this movie to my dz one day. There was an AFF student who was there with her parents. Wouldn't you know it? They come in right about the time Burt Lancaster comes burning in while flying that "Bat" suit? Ooopsie!

My second favorite is "Cut Away."

My least favorite is "Fandango."

Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

[Squeak 17]

OK I just watched "The Skydivers" (ala MST3K). The movie is worse than "Plan 9 from outer space" man that was a crap movie the MST3K team made it bareable

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

How's yours doing?
