Fun fact: Swayze was a skydiver in his spare time. The producers didn't want him to jump for insurance purposes, but the man enjoyed doing his own stunts.

Patrick Swayze was an accomplished skydiver, and took part in the big skydiving scene. He made fifty-five jumps in total. The film was originally called "Johnny Utah" when Keanu Reeves was cast in the title role.

@@TinS0lder he made 55 for the film? Or total? Because 55 jumps is nothing in the skydiving world

I love the show of respect to the WWII Veterans. You can tell they really meant it.

I was lucky enough when I was a kid in school that we had WW II Vets come in and speak to us on Veteran's Day, and they told us kids some powerful stories about their time in. I still remember some of them all these years later. They are definitely due our respect, and we are losing more and more from The Greatest Generation as each day passes. Along with that, we had a hostage from the Iran Embassy come in and talk to us one day about his experiences in Iran.

I love the "I'm not that big so it's not that bad" then almost immediately he admits that he's been knocked out and drug across a field during jumps! That pretty much perfectly sums up how men look at things.

I like it when the guys goof around when reacting but I always love seeing them react like the way they did to Band of Brothers.

I heard Andy, singlehandedly held the whole show together. Yall should thank him (monetarily) for his service.

Point Break, the reason I took up skydiving. Years later I went to Perris for a Labor Day Boogie and some dudes were acting out the final skydiving scene from the movie in the actual plane from the movie. It was hilarious.

Wind River is still on the list of ones I'd like to see them talk about. One day.

As a 235-245lb clean skin I swear my feet left marks in the ground every time. I’m spewing I missed you guys in Aus, you would have only been a little while away looking at the company you used. I can’t jump anymore, my last one didn’t end too well and that was the start of the end of my carer and 100% disability. But I did enjoy it and doing loads, boat bundles, MFP, ADRHIB with jumps of the coast of WA and NSW. I was and still am afraid of height and I get air sick so what did I choose to do, become Airborne and spend my carer jumping or flying pushing stuff out the back or working on a MALT. Only flew 2 times my entire carer as a PAX on a service aircraft. Was always jumper or crew. I have to try to explain to people why I would choose to jump if I hated heights and flying. Because it was awesome to be apart of something like that.

Congratulations guys on the completion 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you have done something no one has done before and for an amazing cause. Keep up the great work 👊🏻 🇺🇸

They expected 75% casualty rate with the airborne. The number for the beaches were much higher

I’ve got 700 jumps as a civilian skydiver and free fall in movies is in the most part hilarious. We did enjoy watching Drop Zone in the bar through!

Awesome video! Thanks to the host and the guests!

Literally every movie to ever have sky diving has a person opening another person's chute mid air. Literally, every single one.

I believe I read that the U.S. Army estimated a 70% casulty rate for parachute army on D-Day. Thanks to the extraordinary professionalism of the Paratroops on that day the complete inability of the Germans to activate armor in the area as well as put a plane in the air meant that losses were a fraction of that. The accuracy of the naval bombardment also meant that American/Canadian lives were saved.

MC1-1B was the chute before the T-10. Famous for all of my 3 points of contact PLF's (feet, a$$, head).

Somebody tell Jariko the girl instructor is Yancy Butler. She also appears as Van Damme's love interest in "Hard Target". Boomer bros have to help each other😂

My favorite type of video! Thanks BRCC

Been bugging Andy stumph to review drop zone for a couple years now. Not Andy but I’ll take it! Thanks guys

My Grandfather was 82nd in WWII. He signed up to be a paratrooper for the extra pay. Two bronze stars and a purple heart.

Here’s an idea, get some action movie actors and get them to react to combat footage. Do the swap.

I remember jumping into Sicily dz back in 86 using the t-10 at night it was scary as hell. I have loads of respect for those that came before

#thegreatestgeneration I like very what you guys said about what lineage does for motivation. I got to be part of the 23rd Flying Tigers and one of my family members flew P-40’s out of Burma with them. It meant something a little more to me, but when everyone had that Flying Tiger on their chests, their chests definitely stuck out a little father and their chins a little higher.

Great video keep up the epic work btw I love your COFFEE!!!!! It is the only COFFEE allowed in my house!!!!!!

band of brothers Easy Company of the 506th are some of the toughest men to ever walk the earth

Moonraker was the jump scene that inspired me to start skydiving............fast forward 20 years when I made my first skydive and 20 years later I am still jumping :) :) :) There were Minolta camera commercials on TV in about 76 that featured a skydiver flying through the air catching a camera, but I was too young to understand exactly what skydiving was..........but its all good :) :) :) )

I’m kind of disappointed you didn’t criticize the, “ NAH, YOU PULL IT” scene in Point Break.

Terminal Velocity and Drop Zone were both in 1994. Must have been the year for skydiving movies.

It seems at least two studios do a movie with common themes at a time.

Take a look and do a vid on the 502 on DDay. Some of the pilots were way off course and our boys dropped into the ocean.

Had a couple hard landings, got drug once or twice Had to run off a canopy once, that was definitely a hard landing

My team mate was part of the lads that jumped over the Pond and had a malfunction and crashed through that family’s roof. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

"I don't see your LeBaron, Freddy. Where's your LeBaron Freddy?"

Yes, you are correct he did do some of the jumps. Jim even said he did well in his jumps. However, many of the jumps/scenes never made it to the final cut in postproduction. They actually did digital face overlay (whatever it was called) in the postproduction phase.

How about an SAS collection, Christian Craighead, Ben Garwood?

When will the jump be in Tampa?

Any Veteran who knocks Point Break probably has service connected disibilty for PTSD from Boot camp related trauma.

can you just do a band of brothers episode?

7!!!7!!!.......6? Haha Still fucking amazing!!

Flak so thick you can fuckin walk on it. The gentlemen from the Airborne make Chuck Norris nervous to stand next to them.

So a nice thing to know is. (120MpH = 10’560 Feet Per Minute OR 176’ FPS or 1,760’ EVERY 10 Seconds) 150mph= 14’080kft per minute or 220’ per second or 2,220’ every 10 seconds). My FI was not a fear mongering person and those numbers were burned in our brains just to send home how little time you have to be getting distracted. I had a friend marveling at the Local July 4th crowd and his AAD saved him. But barely, he had full line stretch at 10’ or less seemed like. But he tells everyone that GOD gifted Him with the Double compound femur fractures to remind him of what he did wrong! Hah it’s easier said than done especially after jump #8-10. No kidding complacency already tried a L ambush on me. I’ve seen multiple dudes experience the same. Jumps 0-5 I could feel my testicles crawling up my leg to hide under the pelvic bone. Or when males perceive danger the testicles suck up to run for cover. If you really pay attention you will notice this. I thought I had bugs in my pants but nope it was just my balls headed for the bunker.

to think WW2 airborne were doing combat jumps not too many years after commercial air travel was invented in 1914

Woman's name is Yancy Butler.

Drop Zone (1994) Yancy Butler A tough cop teams up with a professional skydiver to capture a renegade computer hacker on the run from the law. 🤣

love Band of brothers! in 2010-11 Blacksky radio did interviews with the real men and family s and cast of the series, was so awesome! made "friends" with some of the family members , love reading most of the easy company's bio books....... what would suck in being in the air borne, landing safely then suddenly some other dude or equipment lands on you and kills you , explain that to my family lol sorry madam your son died due to a jeep landing on him, but hes a war hero .... some how :P

The one and only time I did a jump was with a t-10, back in the early 80s. I did hit the ground like a sack of shit!

Try doing Mystery Science Theater 3000 "The Skydivers." You'll laugh 'til you...stop.

You Tadpoles are funny. PS: ping me if you ever want to learn to BASE jump.
