Even after 40 years this incredible jump-scene has not lost anything of its fascination.

It's totally bogus but it's still fun to watch. I have a unique relationship with this film. The son of a consultant on this picture is a friend of mine.

Whenever this came out, this scene put the skydiving fever in me. I fulfilled it in 1992 at Skydive America in Beaumont Texas.

We used to watch this in the clubhouse after a day of jumping. I was with the 3rd Armored Division sport parachute club in Hanau Germany 83-84.

As soon as they land off come the helmets and on go the maroon berets. " Sean how goes it?" Sean replies " My feet are where my bollocks used to be". In the censored version on TV before 9.30pm he said " My heart is where my naval used to be"

Best HALO jump ever caught on film. And carrying FN FALs too!

That's because it was the 1st Battalion of the Belgian Para-Commando's that made that jump. They got the job after both the US and UK troopers refused. I have lived in the town where those guys where garrisoned for years and you won't believe what I saw in the skies on an almost daily basis. These guys where really stir crazy daredevils.

@@rudolftrost3534 , I thought it was the Rhodesian paras that did the jump . Anyway I’m not here to criticise. If it was the Belgiums then well done and credit too those wonderful paratroopers!!

Same here. This is without any peer the best HALO para-jump in the history of film. You should know these guys (Belgian Para-Commandos) did this stuff on an almost daily basis.

From a time when they made great films with all star casts. Burton, Harris, Moore, Kreuger, Watson, and who knows, maybe others (I'm American). Besides that, it's s classic war-adventure film. Love the score ass well.

If I would wager a guess, I would say this jump was performd by the Belgian Para's. Nobody else is that good in mass jumps.
@DCIagent2 жыл бұрын
I read that the jump was performed by SADF SF troops. The movie was shot in South Africa and had full cooperation of the South African government. A lot of the extras, both white and black, were active duty SADF soldiers and the SADF provided technical, logistic and equipment support for the movie. At the time, South Africa was under UN sanctions for it's Apartheid policies and thought that the movie would help improve their public image.
