Cult movie for skydivers

[hak-7 · 10/10 · 23 May 2005]

This short movie has probably reached cult status in skydiving clubs over the world. Firstly, because it is all about skydiving. Secondly, because it really catches some of the spirit of the sport: cool people doing some crazy stuff. The longer movie Fandango based on this movie does indeed contain a remake of this scene, but I prefer the original in Proof.

Although this movie is a must for anyone who has ever tried skydiving, it also appeals to a broader audience. Everybody is guaranteed a good laugh. On the other hand, if you are about to try skydiving for the first time in your life, don't watch this movie first: you run the risk of loosing your nerves!

Great short that inspired Fandango

If you liked the Skydiving scene in Fandango then you will love this short film. It is the same scene and almost the exact same dialogue, except that it was made by real skydivers a few years before Fandango was produced. The character names are the same and you can clearly see that they took this film and created Fandango around it.

The airstrip is the same(Perris Vally), the aircraft and Pilot are the same as in Fandango (the is wearing a blond wig).

If you can get your hands on a copy of this classic film hold on to it. If you are a skydiver then you would love it.
