lekstrom10k 0 #4 January 21, 2007 Seems to me he was in two movies. . He was a bar tender in one with 5 or 6 words.Something about using his LAKE [sea-plane] clinched the deal. Cutaway he had a family near a tent Dont remember the words spoken though. Kind of like Hitchcock movies to use his gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whats great is what rig that Bill Booth puts over his shoulder in that scene. If I remember correctly it was a reflex or talon.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiverek 56 #7 January 22, 2007 He was in 3 movies (he told me that personally): 1. The Firm (the seaplane pilot, says one word: "Hello" 2. Cutaway (says "Wuffo"), 3. Dropzone (he is only shown in the longer, uncut version). Bill also told me he gets paid like $16 everytime the movies is played. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lekstrom10k 0 #8 January 22, 2007 The way I got he would let them use his LAKE in DZ if they gave him a part. I unfortunately have the movies , His line as bartender was repeating the drink order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougH 270 #10 January 22, 2007 That probably only earned him 48 dollars this year. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm, could be wrong but I seem to remeber it as an "Eclipse" tandem rig, which was pretty much a poorly done rip off of a Vector.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

Ok, its been a while since I've seen the movie, so you are probably right about the rig. Yeah, I've lucked out and didn't end up jumping any of the Eclipse rigs at a TX DZ I was visiting a few years ago when I was helping with tandems. Luckily they kept me in Sigma and Vector tandem rigs all day long.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
