hold onto your lunch it’s a long way
down
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie skydiving scenes
for this list we’re looking at those
heart-stopping scenes from movies in
which one character or more falls out of
a plane or off a cliff falls through the
air for some time and must parachute to
safety we’re choosing the scenes based
on a mix of the excitement they bring
the quality of the scene and the action
content which God so loved the one per
franchise rule is also in effect and
there may be spoilers here so spoiler
alert now get ready to June number 10
exit on your right Charlie’s Angels
another movie to an old team there’s a
variety of ways to get a bomb awful
loaded passenger jet doing that while
the jet is traveling at 30,000 feet
though that’s a slightly different story
however no missions too big for this
group of heroines so after a little
tongue-in-cheek humor the mysterious
Savior and the Mad Bomber take a step
out of the 747 emergency exit after a
mid-air rendezvous with a second
skydiver all three parachute to safety
where finally the eponymous angels are
revealed number nine death dive cutaway
ready go in a film about extreme sports
you’d expect things to get a little bit
nerve-wracking but after a bad jump from
the plane goes wrong things go from
exciting to terrifying
when one skydiver knocks his head on the
way out of a plane and the
disorientation causes him to have a
mid-air collision with another jumper he
begins to fall out of control and
Stephen Baldwin’s bit cooper scrambles
to rescue him right when we think that
his friends will be forced to pull their
chutes and save themselves team redline
swoops in and pulls the chute but is it
too late
number eight the flying Elvis’s
honeymoon in Vegas how far would you go
for the one you love how about jumping
out of a plane alongside a troop of men
dressed like Elvis
when Nicholas Cage finds himself in a
desperate situation needing to get back
to Vegas in order to rescue his fiancee
from James Caan he donned the jumpsuit
of the King and straps into a parachute
we’re in stitches his cage conquers his
fears and joins hundreds of flying
Elvis’s parachuting through the night
sky into Vegas number seven halo jump
Godzilla as Titans do battle in San
Francisco an American strike team
attempts a Hail Mary pass our hero finds
himself with a bomb disposal crew
preparing to perform a high altitude low
opening jump or halo because it sounds
badass as the plane doors open and light
pours in from the sunset the men know it
may be their last red streaks trace
their path to earth and as the sky turns
dark we see through the eyes of the
jumpers the lightning and monsters below
and realize that this is no peaceful sky
that this is a descent into hell
number six where could you possibly be
going get smart
nobody’s perfect but a series of
unfortunate mistakes leads agent 86
played by Steve Carell to be falling out
of a plane without a parachute
from here he must rely on the quick
thinking of agent 99 to rescue him
although she seems to have saved the day
a third skydiver quickly proves
otherwise
when the three find themselves falling
while bundled together and Hathaway must
rely on her charm to save the day
exciting and hilarious we can’t get
enough of this scene number five a
fighting scenario Moonraker if only we
had a nickel for every time bond was
expected to die
when a romantic moment turns sour bond
finds himself falling out of a plane and
you guessed it he’s without a parachute
as skydiving was still a relatively new
sport at the time moviegoers were
thrilled when bond managed to borrow a
parachute from the very skydiver
responsible for this mess right when we
think he’s in the clear double-oh-seven
realizes his favorite dental hygiene
enthusiast is pursuing him a quick poll
of the chute gets him off the hook
though and jaws finds himself on a trip
to the circus
number 4 Cape jump the gypsy moths this
scene is a two-parter and features one
of the most popular uses of the wingsuit
when Burt Lancaster’s character the
leader of the gypsy moths goes in search
of the thrill of the crowd pushing
himself further than ever before he
finds himself in a jump he will not walk
away from among questions of whether or
not he did not pull his chute on purpose
his crew is saddened by the death of a
friend who died the same way he lived we
are even more touched when the youngest
member of the team performs the same
stunt that killed his mentor in order to
pay for the funeral number three cutaway
drop zone
in this 1994 action flick Wesley Snipes
hunter rogue DEA agent and in the
process finds himself infiltrating a
team of skydiving professionals during
one of their jumps a member ends up with
a sabotaged parachute and must cut away
the chute and deploy his backup before
falling to what may or may not have been
his death when his backup chute fails to
open the team’s leader and diehard
professional ditches his own chute in
order to try and assist his
heart-pounding display of bravery is in
vain though and the exciting scene ends
up making our stomachs drop
number two Auto freefall
terminal-velocity all of the cocaine in
the world could not prepare you for the
excitement of this 1994 action romp but
you can bet Charlie Sheen probably tried
anyway the heart pounding thrills of
this sequence begin with our Tiger
blooded hero driving a convertible out
the back of a cargo plane with a villain
on the roof and lady in the trunk after
shaking the body and loosening up the
trunk space the tandem skydiving couple
narrowly avoids a cliff side explosion
before dodging some wind turbines on the
way to a safe landing
over the top of course but we wouldn’t
expect anything less from the master of
waiting make a great kitchen good
you’re really courageous you’re really
cute before we pull the ripcord on our
top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
yeah this is flippin I hate y’all right

it’s the classic story while trying to
hunt down bank-robbing surfers our
goody-two-shoes FBI agent finds himself
forming an unlikely brotherly bond with
the team as they push each other to the
limit in one of the coolest skydiving
scenes ever okay not so classic whatever
anyway it’s in the film’s climax that we
get our finest thrill Patrick Swayze’s
bank robber is about to make a daring
escape when Keanu Reeves his federal
agent pushes him to the absolute edge
and us to the edge of our seats jumping
after his adversary with nothing but a
handgun the two find themselves in a
vicious mid-air standoff
but gotta drop the gun right with
gravity acting as a ticking clock these
best frenemies take our number one spot
