Army parachutist rates nine airborne jump scenes in movies and tv
- 2 years ago
Former US Army Parachute Team member and combat veteran Michael Elliott rates nine airborne jumps in movies, such as "Mission: Impossible — Fallout," for realism.
Elliott breaks down the accuracy of static-line jumps and military free falls, such as HALO jumps, in "Godzilla" (2014), "A Bridge Too Far" (1977), and "Mission: Impossible — Fallout" (2018), starring Tom Cruise. He looks at the realism of demonstration and competitive-style skydiving in "San Andreas" (2015), "Die Another Day" (2002), and "Point Break" (1991), starring Keanu Reeves. He also breaks down the plausibility of emergency-parachuting techniques in "Drop Zone" (1994), "Kingsman: The Secret Service" (2014), and "Black Widow" (2021), starring Scarlett Johansson.
Elliott is a 26-year combat veteran and was a member of the US Army Parachute Team, nicknamed the Golden Knights, for 11 years. He is the founder and president of the All Veteran Group, a parachute team of active and retired military members that focuses on parachute demonstrations and tandem parachute experiences.
