casey 0 #1 January 29, 2002 Don't you think it is a little odd that so many people downed "Cutaway" in the forums, but it is winning on the poll on the home page? HHMmmmm........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMarshMan1 0 #2 January 29, 2002 I think all the mainstream ones pretty much suck...but I voted for Dropzone cause its the only one I've seen all of (just seen pieces of the rest)... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyboy62000 0 #3 January 29, 2002 Look at the competition. I chose cutaway, not because it is a superior movie, but because it has more skydiving and most of it is realistic unlike Drop Zone. If I was choosing on the basis of which one was actually the best movie I would have to pick Terminal Velocity. That movie was pretty good, but there really wasn't that much skydiving in it. Drop Zone is an okay movie, but most of the skydiving stuff is really unrealistic (how many times do instructors throw tandem students out and then swoop down and hook them up in time for deployment?). Cutaway is not a bad movie overall, it's just not a big hollywood production. The cast is pretty good for a straight to video release. The story is not bad, and it shows skydiving more realistically than the others. Plus I got it for $4 as a previously viewed cassette from the Blockbuster.Blue Skies,Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remster 24 #5 January 29, 2002 Come on!Fandango!granted, the skydiving sequence is short, but the First Jump Course sequence alone is worth the rental price, and then some! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vallerina 2 #7 January 29, 2002 I loved Fandango! I voted for it merely because it's the only movie I could stand to watch a second time through."They misunderestimated me" George Dubya Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zennie 0 #8 January 29, 2002 Agreed, even though the skydiving sequence is only for part of the movie, it's classic cinema."Um, dude, we've got a major malfunction here...."
