howardwhite 5 #1 March 31, 2007 Well, there was Point Break and there was Terminal Velocity, and then there was The Skydivers. If you've seen it, most likely you saw it on Mystery Science 3000, a 1994 TV series mocking really bad movies. The movie's creator, Coleman Francis, is remembered this way in a Wikipedia entry: "He has become known in recent years for the abysmal production quality of his three self-produced 1960s films. His trademark style includes murky black & white scenes with poor acting, usually in desert locations, a preoccupation with light aircraft and parachuting, and coffee serving as a prop or a center of conversation. " Attached: -An ad for the original movie; -Two clips from one of a number of web sites mocking the movie; -The cover of the VHS tape of the MST 3000 parody. Apparently most of what passes for skydiving action was filmed at Quartz Hill Airfield in Palmdale, CA. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote I actually got to see the first part of it 'for real' without the MST mocking... It was on the bill with Cat Ballow back in the 60's, the folks took us out to the drive in...my mother made my dad leave early because 'The Skydivers' was TOO SEXY for the kids...little did she know! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BillyVance 34 #3 March 31, 2007 "So when does someone fall out of the sky and go squish?"
