Today on the program, we close out the blessed month of Snipes Giving with the best movie, I feel, in the lineup.
It's Drop Zone.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
Stephen Seda.
Chris Cabin.
Eric Siska.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning in, as always, this week on the program. Like I said, up top. It's Drop Zone from 1994, directed by John Battam.
1994, important to Mark, 1991. Point Break came out. I don't know if you can make any similarities here. Any similarities coming here to mind.
It's that, but it's also like,
skydiving was a thing at the time.
It was a real...
It was like rollerblading.
Yes.
Like rollerblading in the sky.
It was pretty extreme.
And this was one of two skydiving movies that were released in 94.
They were like rushing to the theaters.
It was this and terminal velocity, both of which I saw in theaters.
Really?
Really?
Yeah.
Did you go to the X games?
No, I did not.
My dad was a bit of a skydiver in the Midnight.
Really?
Yeah.
Did you watch the X games?
No.
No.
Do you skydive in the X games?
I thought that was like bikes and shit.
I'm sure they do like an opening ceremony where somebody skydives.
Like I have a hard time.
I was trying to equate it with, you know, skydiving, rollerblading, all these kind of like.
Extreme.
Yeah, extreme, cool dude, 90 sports.
We're wearing a neon windbreaker.
Deal with it.
The ludicrous wardrobe is really the pinpoint with all this.
No, the X games opening ceremony is like taking a mountain dew from like one side of the country to the other.
Is that the idea?
Oh, yes, I think so.
And then it's poured it to a goblet.
And then Tony Hawk chugs it.
Yes, exactly.
So this is a movie where Wesley Snipes plays a U.S. Marshal who gets wrapped up with a bunch of skydivers to take down Gary Busey and his skydiving criminal gang.
Yes.
I fucking loved this.
Yeah.
It's so fucking ridiculous.
But this movie is a ton of fun.
Was this the first time you saw it?
First time I'd seen it.
I'd never seen Drop Zone.
And I was, you know, it was one of those, there it is on the videos.
store shelf see you later drop zone this is my first snipes wow ever yeah this was the baby's first
snipes yeah did you see it in theaters i did not i rented it was the day when like i actually was waiting
for the day i'd seen the uh trailer oh one of my tapes and i was like i got to see that um and you know
when the when it was coming out i was like yes and i was like one of the first ones there yeah drop zone
i mean i can tell you right from the jump i knew that this movie was all for me
This fucking electric guitar fart score.
It doesn't even wait, man.
It's over the Paramount logo.
It's like fart grunge, man.
It reminded me like lethal weapon guitar.
Of course it does.
This is Hans Zimmer.
This is what he does.
It's fucking cock rock.
Like, it's all it is.
Cock rock.
Yeah, so.
Now he's doing cockboows.
Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, wow.
Yeah, that's colon rock.
Oh, no.
those planes are going to bombos.
That's what it sounds like
inside of you when you're about to fart.
Oh. You discovered the
wow. I was born in it.
Wow.
Great thing. So we opened up
on a prison, right?
Some of my favorite extra work in a really
long time. You check out these like
bemulleted beefcakes?
Holy shit, dude. Is this a prison
for like professional wrestlers? Is this where they
go to cool their heels? I think
it was all pro wrestlers and then Mike
Michael Jeter.
Yeah, I mean, let's get into Michael
Jeter in prison.
This guy's not lasted a day and a half.
No.
He weighs 101 pounds.
And he looks like Dr. Wiley.
He does look, oh, man.
Had he lived, that would have been a man.
That would have been great.
Who would play Mega Man?
We've got to this so many times.
I think the answer you come back to is Elijah Wood.
He can still do it today.
He could be like a Mega Man Knight returns.
If he was having.
a harder time with his career.
There would be one of those
like Mortal Kombat
fan film things. It would hit
YouTube and it would be Elijah Wood playing
Mega Man. Yeah, I mean, he's like so small
he's 8 bit.
Maybe 16.
He's just made out of blocks.
When you go up and you meet him, it's really, it's off
putting it first. So Michael
Jeter's in the yard
and all these dudes are going to like play basketball
workout and he's running to feed
these cats. Yeah, I know.
Oh, man, like, you know what Michael Jr.?
Again, you're not going to start lifting weights.
No.
Ask for protective custody, A number one.
Yeah. Because he's in prison for
like computer crimes. Yeah. And I'm
sorry, the birdman of Alcatraz was played
by Burt fucking Lancaster.
Humongous fucking block
of cement. Yeah.
I'm the cat man of this
prison. No way, dude. Bert Lancaster
was built like a brick shit house.
Michael Jeter's a fucking single plie
square of toilet paper in comparison.
But he's he's, he's, uh,
protected on high by the Prince of Darkness, the DEA.
I thought you meant Satan.
No, he, so he, his crime is that he had been, uh, like, taking,
he's been hacking and taking money from like, drug traders from China or some nonsense.
Which is a victimless crime.
I mean, honestly.
Who even, somebody says, like, when they're giving the rundown, they're like, it's like
he lives inside the computer.
Yeah.
Which is just a great 1994ism.
Because what they're saying there is like, this guy.
He's such a whiz at the keyboard.
It's like his home address is the computer.
Oh, nice.
It's the internet, dude.
Like, not, that's like,
where he's got like a WW dot instead of a PO box.
You know, we all get our physical mail.
This guy's getting email.
He's getting physical mail on the internet somehow.
Have you heard about this?
Electronic mail?
What is that?
I mean, I get electricity out of the outlet.
I bring this up a lot,
but this is making me think of that episode of Muppet Babies
where they go inside Scooter's computer.
Oh, yeah?
What is it?
What, did they find something
with that hard drive?
Oh, yeah, a scooter went down hard.
Oh, no, baby friends.
You've got to get on the computer
and get it out of there.
Come on, nanny's going to get here any second.
You got to wipe that shit clean.
Got to eat all the data.
This hard drive's nothing but Muppet babies.
In odd positions.
Anyway, I think it's like a Tron parody
is what they sort of go for.
Yeah, not so much like, you know,
pornography.
Yeah, just race.
over all of it.
So he's, I mean, look, yeah,
I mean, here's the thing,
if you're Michael Jeter in prison,
and if I,
look, this,
I feel like Michael Jeter
and I would have very similar
paths in prison.
And I would,
and I do love cats,
but I would pretend that I didn't love cats.
If I was in prison.
That's a good move.
Some dude would be like,
Hey, Steve,
look at those cats over there.
What are you gonna fucking do about it?
You'd be like,
nothing.
That was,
well,
that was my belief is that the DEA
has been like replacing these cats
as they've been stomped to death
by his enemies.
on like a weekly basis.
This is the thing, prison warden and whoever else,
like prison groundskeeper,
if there's like a little sewer drain
where, like, cats are coming into the yard,
you've got to close that shit out.
Yeah.
Who knows what those maniacs could be doing to those animals.
Someone could be like feeding a cat a file
and sending it through the tunnels,
where then a, you know, a guy in prison
could just like rip that cat open and take it out.
I'm waiting for this cat to pass this nail file.
Oh, no. Prison games could never do.
They would definitely do that.
Absolutely.
So you cut pretty quickly to Wesley Snipes, by the way.
Like 10 seconds into the movie.
I love it.
And fucking Malcolm Jamal Warner, too.
And he is on this tirade about women.
Holy Mother of Jesus.
Yeah.
The Mongolian feminist, which comes up twice.
It's your standard 90s feminist joke, Madlips feminist joke.
It's like, oh, my ex-girlfriend who was, you know, say,
whatever you want.
Refrigerator salesman feminist.
What was the,
there was something recently.
Was it in a Snipesgiving episode?
It was a punk vegan.
Yes.
Which is the three worst words.
But those two are like 10 years apart, man.
That shit has to be pulled about by now.
Exactly.
I feel you go on the right website, man.
Oh, man.
You see this whatever,
this like liberal feminist?
Or this is always a great.
Famin Nazis.
Oh, the feminids.
I'm gonna be over here
Oh, the cat came back in the yard
I'm gonna fuck it
I'm gonna fuck the jailhouse cat
We'll be back to fuck the cat on
Infowars.com in a minute
Michael Jeter, you watch
You watch me do this
And so they're driving down the road
From the third act of seven by the way
I'm like where are they going
There's no paved road
Like they're driving to this jail
But it's not a paved road
They're driving under power lines.
Oh my God, we got a box.
So, yeah, they're going off on this.
I'm only to stay away from here.
Wesley Snipes is the upper hand.
Wesley Snipes always has the upper hand.
Absolutely.
FYI, if there's anything I've learned
from this month of Snipes giving.
So they're actually biological brothers
who are also partners in the U.S.
Marshals. Bad idea.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also impressive, though, at the same time,
being able to get on your brother's detail.
That's pretty cool.
That is insane.
No, it doesn't make any sense.
No, what would you ever?
allow this? Why would anybody allow this? Now both of them are compromised. You've compromised two
good agents. Um, so yeah, so they're driving. He's complaining about his love life. Apparently
Malcolm Jamal Warner's wife is like obsessed with setting him up with friends or something like that.
And he's going on this thing about how he could never date somebody named Shenandra and how he likes them
as like, he quote, nice, pretty and dull. Wow. Right. I think he's trying to say like he likes leading a
quiet life, which is a nice contrast
for when he's forced to skydive multiple
times later in the film. Sure, and the
Mongolian feminist would never allow it.
Also, talking
about Oprah shit and like all that, but
like, it's good that this
is kind of the only banter, really,
that we have to deal with. Well, Malcolm
Jamal Warner doesn't have a lot of screen time in
this movie, unfortunately. They go on a plane,
they're going to take
Michael Jeter, uh, and he's
into cousin. Well, basically, someone
shockingly tries to shiv Michael Jeter in the
yard. And the guy is like, oh, fuck, I got to get this dude move somewhere else because
he's like this crucial witness or whatever. So Wesley Snipes and Malcolm Jamal Warner are tasked
with taking him from Florida to Atlanta. So this is like a quick like puddle jumper
flight. Yeah, sure. And then things go terribly wrong because Gary Busey and his gang of thieves
are aboard the plane. A posse comitus. Excuse me. What? That's the name of their gang. Oh,
What does that mean?
I don't know.
But it's a silly, really...
Is it like Latin or something?
Yeah.
It's like they are some weird gang.
It's a division of Opus Day.
They sent a message to the pilots.
From the Vatican.
Anything you want your eminence.
Oh, I live to serve.
Let me kiss your ring.
Oh, come here, Grandmaster.
Oh, wait, that's the wrong guy.
I'm also in the clan.
It's a busy schedule.
it's so hard to hate and love at the same time
oh yeah they they go in and uh it's gary bucey
and a bunch of stuntmen
pretty much oh and jagger
and jagger
jagger looks a lot like uh richard branson
yes oh wow yeah it does
so they all just sort of like take various parts of the plane
and they're like you know pretending passengers
Gary Busey's like pretending to be a nervous flyer for some reason.
It's like, don't even talk to the stewardess.
No, dude, he's fucking playing it.
Cool, man. He's in character.
No, he needs to take his cocaine pills.
Yeah, that's true.
And so he's got to get ready for the big show.
Which, and show is, you know, committing a terrorist attack.
Clearly, I'm not a terrorist.
I'm wearing glasses and I'm a real nervous, feller.
Pardon me, ma'am. I'm not a terrorist.
I'm clearly white.
Don't mind to sweat. I was just showering.
So they get in the air
And at some point
The plane gets word that it's being taken over
Which why would you do that?
I think it's all part of this like ultra game
That Gary Busey's playing
Like he's like 10 steps ahead of everybody
Kind of a thing for once
Yeah so it's like oh we're being hijacked
So they bring Wesley steps to the front of the plane
Like it's his birthday
And he's six years old
But there's this weird code that she has with him
Because she's like
Oh would you like glass of wine
And he's like I only drink wine
candlelight. She's like, I think we can make that happen, come
up front of the plane. I'm like, is you going to get a blowjob in the front
of the plane? That's what he thinks. It's not a code. He thinks he's
about to fuck this woman. I'm with
Kavanaugh on this. There's no code, man.
I feel like that's what the marshals gets. Like, all right, if you get
into trouble, the stewardess will come up to
you and say,
Stewart is like, you're going to remember this
from your, from your academy days.
Exactly. They're not at a park bench
with Gene Hackman.
It's like, come on. Well, you don't want to alarm anybody,
so you need to have a code. And he looks, but no,
He looks disappointed when she tells him.
Dude, I think it's, I mean, listen.
I'm looking disappointed when you find out that there's terrorists.
Oh, man.
Well, the flight attendant could just as easily go up, lean over, and be like,
I need you to come to the frontal plane with me right now.
Don't make a big deal out of it.
That's it.
I'm definitely not blowing you.
Don't get any ideas.
God damn it.
Hands to yourself.
But so, yeah, he goes up with this guy's like,
hey, listen to this message.
We got U.S.
Marshall.
Chrysley Snipes is like, hmm, that's weird.
And it's really, there's like no time for any information digestion or anything
because it's like, this is going to happen to your plane right now.
And then like clockwork, Gary Busey whips out these guns that they have stowed away.
And it's a mid-90s action movie and we are shooting people in the heart immediately.
It is fantastic.
God, what a breath of fresh air.
It's shot in the heart.
That's right.
No metal detectors.
So, you know, there's a big shootout going on.
Tons of flight attendants and passengers are murdered instantly.
Wesley Snipes doesn't go to the back of the plane right at the first sound of gunfire.
No.
Knowing that Malcolm Jamal Warner is back there all by himself.
Well, he's got Michael Jeter to protect him, so he's okay.
Maybe he's his older brother, so he looks up to him.
So it's just like, oh, well, you know, my older brother can handle that.
He can do anything.
And his brother's been marked because.
Because the little, Michael Jeter's been saying very loudly, you, U.S. Marshals,
hey, U.S. Marshals.
Yeah.
Hey, could you help?
Can I go see my cats?
I miss my cats, U.S. Marshalls.
That's the big thing.
So the cats are on the plane.
Oh, right.
The cats are in the belly of the plane.
I don't think these cats are making it through it.
No way.
No, no.
Also.
A few line fatalities.
I wouldn't be too surprised if they were just lying to that man.
Oh, yeah, that's also.
Actually, no, there's a shot of the cat.
like being loaded on, but they should have
just lied to him. Because my God, these are
like stray prison yards, sewer cats.
What are you doing? Like, oh, can I bring my cats?
No, motherfucker. You're in prison.
Come with me, please.
And he's going to, he's going to go to another prison, right?
Yeah. So, so you're taking
prison cats to another prison?
That could be a dog prison
that you're going to, though. You never know.
Yeah. You know, then it's just, that's like oil and
vinegar, man. This is a movie, man. It's like
Homeward Bound or some shit. But it's
prison animals.
And those cats are
They get sucked
out to the side of the
plane
they have to find
their way back
to Michael Jeter.
Exactly.
They got to
you know
they have to
break into prison.
No,
you know what happens
when the
when the
when the,
which does happen
is the,
the door opens
and everything
is a loud pop
you get five
little cat
heart attacks
and that's the end
of the little cats.
Can I say
oh sure
posi
posi cometeas
posimotoes
um
is the
condo
is the
Common law or statute law authority of a county sheriff to conscribe any able-bodied man to assist him in keeping the peace or pursue an arrest or felon.
Oh, it's like rounding up a posse.
Yeah.
So it's a fancy way of saying I have a gang.
It's old west.
If I was in that meeting, hey, Gary, how about sky bandits?
You know, we were like bandits of the sky.
Cloudsurfers.
I could make a jacket with sky bandits.
Yeah, I'm not going to put all that Latin on a jacket
Because then everyone's asking me what it means
That's drawing attention to us
I'm not going to be able to walk through the store
wearing that jacket
So they blow
The door off the back of the plane
Which was a little weird
Because I'm like just open it
Yes
What it's an emergency door
The latch is right there
Why do you got to blow it off
And now people are not badass if you just open
We've got people getting sucked at the side of the plane
Which is when I knew I was in for a good
time when I see these passengers being sucked out all chair and all dude still
buckled in it's pretty awesome passenger 58 59 and 60 all get chucked right out it's fucking
awesome and a couple of dudes definitely like hanging on for dear life before they go also great
they still die doesn't matter I was and Michael Malcolm McGraw mal Warner is next to a little girl
who kind of gets sucked at the plane and he saves her is that what happens correct
Yes. And after being shot, by the way, he saves this girl, gets her back in. And then he stumbles out. And Wesley grabs him. But of course, we know where this is going. I thought his arm was going to get ripped off. I thought that's what we were going to do in this movie. It was his sleeve. Yeah. Which was actually his arm.
I mean, that would have been kind of cool.
I just don't see how that would happen.
It's a lot of friction and force and what have you, right?
I guess so.
I mean, you know what?
As it turns out, I'm no physics professors.
No, I'm not.
Not yet.
You're getting there, night school.
So, yeah, he falls to his grim death, which is unfortunate.
And then this was weird, though, the plane kind of just straightened out and landed totally.
Like, we don't get a landing.
A normal landing.
But actually, before that, Gary Busey has to...
Oh, yes.
They're trying to get Michael Jeter.
They kidnap Michael Jeter, or it looks like kidnapping.
And they're, like, putting him into a parachute,
and they're going to do a tandem skydive.
I forgot.
And for some reason, he's got handcuffs on.
To get him out of the handcuffs,
the only thing that they could do is for Gary Busey to bite his pinky finger off.
But there's motivation for this, though.
Oh, that's right.
But this is what doesn't make any sense.
I forgot to pack lunch.
I'm starving up here
Oh, then I eat this airline food
Finger food
Shortman of finger sandwiches
I take things super literally
Hey Jagger I'm a little hungry
I'm gonna head over to Jeter's for a snack
Well the plane lands perfectly
But what we're told later
And this is what makes no sense
Is they keep talking about like going through the remains
Of the passengers or whatever
And they find Michael Jeter's face
and they then presume that this dude is dead.
Sure.
Here was this one severed finger burnt to a crisp.
He must be completely dead.
But if the plane landed fine, what is burnt to a crisp?
Nothing.
You know what I'm saying?
It doesn't make any fucking sense.
But the movie keeps saying like the remains, the remains, the remains.
The only remains you would have are the people who get sucked out of the plane.
Yes, the trickling of people, you know, that have been flying out for miles.
Yeah.
And it's going to take a couple weeks to find those people.
Right.
And plot point here.
the little girl takes off the mask of Jagger
sees his face
and is now a witness.
It'd be great if the rest of this movie
is kind of like that movie ravenous
and it's like Gary Busey going crazy
Oh, because he swallowed some of the flesh.
Yes, I can tell you why that can't happen.
Gary Bucce would eat everybody
before they ever, like the whole fucking place.
Wait, wait, wait, why can't that happen?
That would be the perfect movie.
Gary Buczy.
He's a skydiving cannibal, okay?
He's a skydiving cannibal and he eats.
people and he jumps out of airplanes. No, no, no. If Gary Busy was in ravenous, and that's like, what, the Civil War? Yeah, something like that. So he would eat everybody in the camp. Uh-huh. And then they'd be like, oh, no, he has the illness. He's a cannibal. You know, he's got that brain thing. And he'd be like, what are you guys talking about? I was just starving. He just ate them. Well, I just like that, now he's like a skydiving instructor and he's like eating the people that he's in tandem with all the time. Oh, you get a good, like, you're like 20,000 feet. You're like 20,000 feet.
beat in the air or whatever, and you get a good, like, neck bite.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dude, skydiving vampire.
That's perfect.
That's rights itself.
And, like, you know, your shoe doesn't open, you turn into a bat.
Oh, oh, got to activate my failsafe.
Better turn into a bat.
I like the idea of activating bat.
They did it, man.
They did.
According to folklore.
So there is.
the character with the greatest name in the movie.
And this is coming from a film where there's a dude by the name of Scoop at one point.
Swoop.
Swoop, rather.
No, but this dude, he's like the fucking head of the U.S. Marshal's and whatnot.
He goes up to Wesley Snipes.
He's trying to get access to him and he's like, I don't know.
I work for the U.S. Marshal's office.
It's me.
Tom McCracken.
Oh, I didn't even get that.
Fucking Tom McCracken.
Come on, screenplay.
I don't know.
Gary Busty's name.
Ty Montcrieff
Oh yeah
We were having a little bit of
Yeah it's like
Jesse something or other
Like there's a lot of fun names
And Wesley Snipes
Last name is what
Nesip
Nesip
Nesip
Which I learned from reading
Roger Ebert's review
Is an anagram of Snipes
Yes
Yes
You think he didn't like
Whatever the name was in the script
Maybe
Did you make him
Wesley Snipes
I'm going to be calling him
Wesley Snipes the entire movie
No matter of life
He just plays Wesley Snipes
Yeah exactly
Like if he got to
this scenario. Well, no, but it would be a thing, though, where in the credits, it's not as himself.
It's Wesley Snipes as Wesley Snipes, like quotation marks. That would be pretty sweet,
and I mean, I'm not going to ever remember the character name of, like, Jean-Claude Van Damme either.
Like, this is, this is widespread. That's why he was really smart to have the Jackie Chan mysteries,
and he was just Jackie Chan. Adventures or whatever the fuck that cartoon was. I read that Snipes
replaced Stephen Seagall, and that is a trade-up. Of course it is.
times. Wow.
Well, he had to drop out because they couldn't
they couldn't take off.
So they're like, well.
See, this is why
we need the rim shot again.
Yeah, exactly.
What is, isn't Steven Zagall
in terminal velocity?
No, that's Charlie Sheen.
Oh, executive decision is what I'm thinking of.
Never mind.
Terminal velocity is to stay two and a half.
As is executive decision.
It's Charlie Sheen and
Nastassia Kinski.
Oh, right.
Christopher McDonald's the heavy
and James Gandalfini's in it for some reason.
there's a great line where they get to like
whatever like Florida Keys
Swamp patio that Gary Busey's hideout is on
and Michael Jeter's complaining like
oh you bit off my finger great Gary Busey line here
he's like you got nine good ones
fucking awesome
but to Michael Jeter's point
he's got Gary Busey here
this dude's profession is a fucking computer hacker
and he's like how am I supposed to work
that's my inter finger that's what I do to hit enter
Really?
I never thought about it, actually.
I would have to look.
What, really?
The Enterkey?
I don't remember what I do.
I honestly, I sit down at a computer.
You get into a computer and black out.
I kind of do.
I get to a computer.
I look up.
I've done stuff.
Sounds like a black mirror episode.
It's true.
I never really thought about it.
But I guess you're right.
I'm sure you could work around that.
You probably could.
But like he's being.
It's still annoying.
Yeah.
And Busey is nagging him this entire.
movie. Every time he's trying to do
work, he's over on his
ass. He keeps doing this. Well, because I think he's
trying to put pressure on him for like the
main event. Well, somehow
while they were making this transfer
while they were on the boat,
they must have made Jeter
hack into the airline
to, because they destroyed the manifest.
Yeah. Yeah, he does make
mention of like, oh yeah, you don't need
all your fingers because you hack that
airline thing with one hand.
That was the manifest destiny.
that you want that room shot you had a guess please you're just like hearing words and saying other
things exactly that's my function you're going crazy I think so so so Wesley Snipes is being
blamed for the fiasco of the skies yeah him and his brother and they're basically putting a lot
of it on his brother and obviously Wes is not having it because his brother died a hero
shaming the dead that he caused everything or whatever like he he he's the one
that, like, made that explosive go off.
You know, I'm going to put a little bit of the onus on TSA on this one.
Why the fuck are their guns on the plane?
Yeah.
That's never explained.
No.
It's pre-9-11, dude.
They actually handed you guns as you got on the plane.
And it's not really that hidden away.
It's behind a fucking tray table.
Yes.
I mean, that's pretty impressive.
Although, don't they make mention of, like, they did have someone at the airline
assisting with that with the gun part?
They killed some guy who was, like, playing.
planting the bombs underneath the plane
or something? The weird thing is they go
on to like, what's
something like, well, I think all these hijackers
got off the place like, no, no, they're dead. Poppycock
is like, what if they sky dive,
sky dove off the plane? It's like
A, that's impossible because of the height and B,
how can you get a parachute on an airplane?
But they have like AR-15s
on this airplane and no one has a problem
with it, but the parachute is where everyone's like,
no, no! Look, you have a rat
to bring that rifle on an airplane,
but you got no rat to bring
a parachute on an airplane goddam
I feel like you should be able to bring
a parachute on an airplane yeah just like
you know BYOP man like
just in case yeah I mean if it
makes you feel comfortable on a fucking plane
exactly is that what D.B. Cooper did
because remember that case
yeah oh yeah dude that's the first
skyjacking right
in the world of tomorrow I don't remember
if that shoot was already on
the plane or he probably brought it from home
BYOP man
I'm telling you
So what I find amazing is when Tom McCracken, or whatever this dude's name is,
when Agent McCracken goes to Wesley Snipes house to relieve him of his gun and badge,
Wesley Snipes already has like a real in-depth investigation going on.
Yeah.
There's like file photos and like a fucking red string around all these tacks.
But it's been like, what, 24 hours?
He's very upset, you know.
He's very upset.
He's grief working.
Yeah.
The funny thing is, I, the McCracken's like, you know the rules.
I need your, it's a bit of skyjacking.
I need your badge and gun.
Any air tragedy, I need that badge and the gun.
If this was something that had taken place on the high seas, I wouldn't even be here right now.
But you train, iffy area, there'd be, there'd be a trial.
But this.
So, oh, yeah.
There's a really weird, I, I just hit me and it was really strange.
there's a moment in this where
like Busey has an
offline and he's saying
911
oh yeah
but he says 9-11
yep he definitely does
he says it to Michael Jeter
it really like took me out of it for a minute
I was like it's weird because what he's saying
is like I'm just playing this for the big job
911
I think the context is something about like
well like 911 wouldn't have got to you in time
anyway or whatever and he's like
9-11 ain't gonna help you now
And I was like, wait, what?
I fucking rewound it.
And then I turned the subtitles on.
I got hired by Osama bin Laden.
Oh, no, Osama's really twisted my arm with this one.
It's going to be big.
We're down here in Florida.
I'm training these guys to fly.
They don't know how to land.
Yeah, we should have invaded Jake Busey after 9-11.
Not Iraq.
It would be more logical to invade Jake Bucy.
The Bucy compound. Yes, of course.
So Wesley Snipes is officially off the case,
which means he's fucking hard.
core on the goddamn case because he's Wesley Snipes and he goes to like some military training
facility yeah he's asking this you know sergeant or you know lieutenant or whatever about like
ways in which like really pro military skydivers or peritruppers or whatever like do this shit
and the guy says to him like uh there's a there's like a pro who's like level-headed and then
there's like a crazy fucker dick brain oh dick brain right there's like the
safe measured way to do it and then like the dick brain way to do it Wesley Snipes is like
give me the dick brain and that of course is Jagger yes Jagger and Jagger's ex-wife is played by
Yancey Butler who is Witch Blade but ironically enough in in Gary Busey's team there is a woman
that looks exactly like her for no reason yeah very true I spent half the movie confused
I'm like she's playing both sides what's happening no exactly I didn't know her name until I
I watched it with subtitles, and I was like, oh, that's her name.
Okay.
Well, but I'll tell you what I think the deal is here,
because this other lady who's in the gang is,
what's his face's lady friend, Jagger's lady friend.
He's got a type.
He's got a type.
I see.
Because Jagger and Yancey Butler used to be a thing.
It's very realistic.
This movie is very realistic.
50 years ago, we did an episode on Steel,
and we were calling this lady, not Yancey Butler,
the other one who's in Steel as a heavy,
we were calling her Witchblade
and I think in halfway through the episode
we're like oh it's not Witchblade
That's why it was exactly the same
And it's the same movie
Oh shit how about that
All these years later we course correct
It's just like Vertigo
It's just like action movie Vertigo
That's what we're talking about
We're gonna have to skydive
Oh no, gonna look at this painting in a museum
And then jump out of a plane
Her hair
Oh my God her hair
Oh man
I want to punch this nun in the throat
I'm going to wrap a lasso around that parachute.
Bring the moon down for it, yeah.
That would be his, if Jimmy Stewart was in Mortal Kombat, that would be his fatality.
He would bring down the moon and crush the other guy.
That's amazing.
Like a guillotine.
Get ready to get fucked.
Classic Hollywood Mortal Kombat.
That needs to happen.
Mortal combat.
Carrie Grant's like shooting ice out of his hands.
Looks like you need some cute.
for that cocktail
Yeah, obviously
Launcini Jr. turns out
to the wolfman, you know,
that's all the...
Ida Lupino has their fucking fans out.
Errol Flynn gives you
venereal diseases.
Or he uses a sword.
Well, no, yeah, he does.
He does. He does. He does.
He does. He does. He does. He does. He does.
He does. He does. He does. He does.
With his flesh sword.
And then Peter Lorley takes off
his mask and the reptile beneath.
God, this is great.
Who would be Shao Khan of old
Hollywood. Humphrey Bogart.
No, Louis B. Mayor.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, no, Humphry Bogar would be Goro.
I was going to say
Mogi would be Johnny Cage, man.
Oh, yeah.
The swabest of the bunch.
Okay. I like that.
Yeah.
Spencer Tracy has Baraka.
Man, I'm going to
cut you up now.
David O. Selsnik
has sang soon. Oh, yeah. He will
fucking steal your soul, man. Guaranteed.
You're under contract.
David O. Selsnick's
fatalities. He fucking makes
Alfred Hitchcock fall on top
of you and smother you.
The robots from
the day the Earth stood still as
Cyrax. Yes. Yes.
Oh my God. That's amazing.
It's all fitting together.
I hope you're listening Midway. There's a billion
dollars. It's an expansion pack.
It's him and like Robbie the robot
or whatever the fuck was that
forbidden planet. Or the maid bot
from Rocky 4. Oh shit.
Oh, wait, no, do you mean, what was the robot from Lost in Space?
Was that Robbie the Robot?
Maybe, yeah.
I don't think I'm confusing it with that Leslie Nielsen movie.
Or Short Circuit, which John Batten actually directed.
He definitely did.
That's not classic Hollywood.
Short Circuit's not classic Hollywood.
Oh, don't you tell me that it's not classic.
All right, here it is.
The Golden Age.
Oh, sure.
All right.
Well, maybe I'm off, though, because I was thinking maybe Orson Wells.
Oh, sure.
He's classic.
He's gorse.
He weighs as much as a horse.
I got it, by the way.
the the robot for Metropolis.
There it is.
There it is.
C3Pio.
Yeah, pretty much, right?
Where are we in this movie?
Oh, so Wesley Snipes, what's that, Kevin?
Wesley Snipes goes to, he makes this girl cry.
The girl who saw Jacker witness, but this is only important in the net, as far as the next scene goes.
Because it cuts to Gary Busey, who gets a call from a corrupt.
cop who is like following snipes most obvious corrupt cop by the way because it's like here are three
detectives from the miami police department and it's like two suits and then a guy with a fucking
skullet that's tied into a ponytail which one is crooked just get straight out of fucking miami vice this
guy oh my god this guy smells like cocaine it's like dan castanella if he was a drug dealer like
you know what i mean like nope nope not trusting him yeah i'm not buying coke from that guy yes so this
absolute piece of shit
he calls
Gary Busey
and he's like
oh they made Jagger
the little girl made Jagger
and like Gary Busey says
I'm impressed
and the guy's like
oh thank you very much
and he's like
not with you
with Wesley Schnapps
because he questioned a witness
that's just brilliant
that's just insane
while my mind's really blown
this guy's doing his job
holy shit
that's the problem
is Wesley and
and Ty Mon
Kreef never really meet. They don't cross
forwards until the end of the movie.
Like it should be a game of cat and mask.
We're two shots at the same coin
you and I. Well yeah, he needs a phone call.
He needs to like taunt him. I need a couple
like John Malkovich calls, man.
Going again. Going again. Back to him.
Why are you calling me on Christmas? I think it's because you got
no one else to call.
It's Leslie Snipes in a printing press.
Sorry to tell you this Wesley's
knops, your father's daddy fell down the stairs
of Grand Central and broke his neck.
Yeah.
So, he
meets the Auntie Butler, he goes to her
skydiving ranch, and I've been to a few skydiving
ranches. Oh, really? Are they called
ranches? Yeah, well, the ones that I were,
they were. They got horses, right?
Yeah, the horses skydive, too. No, it's a ranch.
And, you know, you go, and
you're bored all day because you're a little kid.
I almost stepped on somebody's
parachute once, and this big
fat guy was going to cut my throat.
It was literally like, it was a matter of life.
You got in your face? Yeah, he did. It was a matter of life
and death. Hey, kid, you never walk
anywhere near someone's parachute.
Man, I mean, I get it, but man.
So that's when you started sabotaging parachutes.
So I put a bunch of spoons
in there instead.
Four spoons and a can
opener. Boy, I'm fucked.
You killed a lot of people that day.
Oh, yeah.
Is that a head of broccoli?
But this reminded me of it because it is like that kind of scuzzy skydiving ranch.
Everybody's only talking about skydiving.
Of course.
And they're degenerates.
They're degenerates.
Really?
Yeah.
The ones that I dealt with.
The ones that I dealt with.
I'm sure there's like some nice skydiver.
Oh, sure.
But it doesn't shock me at all to hear that there's dirt bags in the sky jumping back down to the ground where the dirt is to be put in other bags.
Circle of life.
So he like hits it off with Yancey Butler and we're in a classic Wesley Snipes' 90s situation where this should be a romantic relationship and it's not because it's a white woman and everyone goes, ew, which makes no sense.
If that's the case, then hire a black actress.
Like we can't do either.
We're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't.
We can't have two black people as leads so we can't have like any kind of romantic tension.
And yeah, it's fine to have an action heroine
that's not like the main guy's girlfriend,
but this movie like goes right up against it.
It's right there.
And it's like, you know, what are you waiting for?
Yeah, exactly.
Cowards!
Do we think that they rewrote, like,
because it was Seagall,
and if you're trying to tell me,
Sagall's not fucking the female lead in this movie,
you are kidding me.
Exactly.
No, he's going to get his fucking buttery paws all over this person.
No, I feel it was a real conversation.
They cut it.
They must have cut it out of the movie.
Like, there must have been like a really,
sleazy sex scene that was cut out of the movie which is probably for the best but it's also
uncomfortable when you're watching because oh man and you know what you're totally right
because this is the exact kind of movie right like you rent with your uncle or you rent with
your dad or whatever and you're just sitting down and it's just a fucking skydiving crime movie
and then out of nowhere there's fucking an ice cube on a tit yes and you're like wait oh what is
happening and then all of a sudden it's just a fucking sex scene this is your fault for watching a
Tony Scott movie
with any male relative.
But no, you're exactly right.
It's one of those movies where it's like a left turn
sex scene. And again, it's better that it
doesn't, but not really.
I mean, especially the end of the movie, like,
when he saves the day and he's like
he's totally fine, but on a
stretcher. Like, there's a moment. She's like right
up next to him and like
that's where it happens. She's really close.
She's like, I'm so glad you made it. And he's like, yeah,
yeah, yeah. No, we'll talk about
this later once the credits start rolling.
It's nice being your Plutonic friend.
Thanks for everything.
That is the problem, is that in lieu of that, what we have to deal with is like an awful truth situation where they're just kind of bickering at each other the whole time.
I thought you meant that Michael Moore show.
But you're talking about the classic Hollywood film, The Awful Truth.
The old Crary movie.
Like, yeah, the whole time they're just bickering at each other because he's skydiving apparently is a very, very secretive club.
the fucking, you know, the masons.
Yeah, I don't understand.
Like, I don't know, just pay the 180 bucks and go skydive.
Now you're a skydiver.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, there it is.
Yep, that's it.
That's the thing.
Jeez, I can't believe all these secret skydiving societies right here in my hometown of Flint, Michigan.
I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
I got a lot of weird language going on when he goes to the skydiving bar that is playing a skydiving TV show
that apparently goes up every five.
fucking day. It's like SNN, like skydiving news network. It's like, what?
In other news today, we had some more people having some good jumps. And that's all for this
evening, Kawabunga and good night. Here's a, today's daily montage of first time jumpers
jumping to Tom Petty's Free Fallen. Oh, we just got news. The president has been
a shot. Even though we, it was not sky.
Skydiving related. I hate to break in here.
That was the one of the hardest days of my broadcasting career on SNN
was when someone took a shot at Reagan, and I had to break the news to literally only the skydiving community
about this tragic turn of events.
Jumps will be suspended for 24 hours.
We're now hearing that the shooter wasn't a skydiver either.
So that's good.
There were conflicting reports that John Hinkley was an average skydiver.
I'd like to correct that.
That is a false statement.
For the next week, we're going to be doing skydiving at half mass.
And that would mean you fly the plane only half the way.
It's incredibly dangerous, but also very respectful at the same time.
Yes, the classic memorial jump of silence.
there will be exactly zero wahoos when leaving the plane.
The plane will be painted all black.
Yeah, dude, it's all black parachutes.
That's funny.
That also happens when they lose someone in the community.
Yeah, yeah, as well.
What's the rallying cry?
I have it here.
Blue sky, black death.
Oh, God, is that what they say?
When Jagger bites it, they do a riot.
of it.
So Gary Busey is tipped off
by that skullet dude that Jagger
fucked it up. So they're doing a
practice jump with Michael Jeter
and then they go up and Gary Buse is like, hey, let me
come with you this time. And he
like gets, he's like
sitting on this dude's parachute
like weighing him down.
And the guy's like, oh come on Gary Busey stop
and he's like, oh no, I think I'm comfy right
here. And he somehow manages
to be so comfortable with your skydiving ability
to do this. Exactly. This is amazing.
And he's like, all right, I'm just going to twist my butt cheeks this way.
And it's going to make you fly into this power grid.
This dude just gets fucking cooked up, man.
There's easier ways to kill somebody.
And dispose of a body.
Like, this guy's found by the cops immediately.
Immediately.
Well, they also, they plant some coke on him.
Oh, right.
So they basically say that this dude was like, you know, running some drugs.
By the way, what a fun way to be a drug runner.
Absolutely.
But let me take you back to the jump itself.
where Jagger and this not Yancey Butler are, like, footsying.
Yeah.
Like playing footsie's in the air.
Yeah, dude, sky fucking.
But, okay, so this is suggesting that they had some kind of relationship.
Yeah, we're told flat out that that was his girlfriend.
And you, like, so he killed, they make a big deal about people dying later in this movie.
And, like, he killed him right in front of her.
Well, because, listen.
She kind of knows.
She's like, yeah, you know.
Gary Busey's the boss.
Yeah, of everything.
And so when he lands, he's like, woo-hoo, that was fun.
Now we have a skydiving team of four, and that's all right with me.
I didn't say a Shar?
I'm not going to say I'm sorry.
No, guaranteed.
It's like if you want in on this fucking heist, man, put up or shut up, and Jagger was fucking it up.
So at the skydiving bar, Yancey Butler finds out that Jagger dies.
She's very distraught.
And, like, they work out this sort of tacit deal.
wherein Wesley Snipes is like, I will sponsor your skydiving team.
$15,000 for this scheme, by the way.
To get into this like, which we'll get into this memorial jump that's happening in Washington, D.C.,
which also, by the way, looks exactly like Florida.
Huh.
Yeah.
How would that be?
And you will get me close to Jaggers people and his team.
Right now.
And I guess it's like the getting close part is really the only excuse for
Wesley Snipes to have anything to do with skydiving in this movie. Exactly. Like sponsor the team, fine. And then maybe you're like pretending to be the pilot or you're like Grace Zabriski's co-pilot. Right? Like she's like mama skydive team for this company or whatever. And she's just flying the plane. Maybe he's somebody's boyfriend that's just along for the ride. He's just there. This is Dale. Mm-hmm. He's in a relationship with with Dark Angel here. Not Dark Angel. Which play? Which play? Which play?
Speaking of Grace, it's interesting that in the Holy Month of Snipesgiving, we've gotten both Leland Palmer and Sarah Palmer.
And Sarah Palmer. That's right. Love it. And then we got some Chris Malky. So that's at least three Twin Peaks actors.
And may I bring you to the name of this beautiful plane, The Crazy Flamingo? Yes. And actually, Alan Alda is Judy. That's in every movie there's a connection.
Yeah, I am this evil force that's going to take over everything.
Damn the atomic bomb.
This is the water.
This is the well.
Boy, I'm tired.
It's not a big deal.
So there's a fucking crazy-ass thing that happens.
Wesley Snipes is like trying to talk to Yancey Butler about this whole thing.
I want to mention this.
We're ahead of it a little bit, but it's a fucking dick move in a half.
He goes up in the plane to like continue talking to her.
She's like teaching this skydiving class in what.
whatnot and he's like sitting on the plane he's the last to go and not wearing a parachute he's
in the plane she fucking has some like mr burns esk like platform fall it's the drop zone and she
i don't know she just like surprise drops wesley snipes out of this plane listen if that was me
instant heart attack oh yeah like 17 of them instantly and it's crazy because he's falling and
she's like ha ha ha and grace zabriski turns around very casually and is like will you go get him
please and then this woman's like okay and just jumps out of this plane like at no point is anyone
in this movie doing the amount of pants shitting that you would be required to do in these
situations as we'll talk about later with um how skelly uh his graceful plummet to the ground
martin schrelly everybody is immortal in this movie you mean swoop no skelly the young guy
Oh, oh. Parker Lewis.
Yeah, Parker Lewis. Who can lose in this movie.
He just barely doesn't lose, though.
I mean, he's an immortal, like, clearly.
That should have been a fucking wily coyote gag.
Yeah, but you're right.
Like, that should, and she goes, she gets him, and he's like, oh, you're crazy.
And then, like, apparently in the original draft, or one of the original drafts, her character was a man.
And Wesley Snipes punches that man.
Or Wesley Snipes character punches the man.
And then when they got to filming it, they're like, oh, whoops, we.
left this in and then like Yancy Butler's like no
I want that to happen because that's like a funny
thing to happen so sure enough
once it's up she punches her right in the face and she's like
you know yeah whatever it's kind of great
though because he punches her in the face she falls
over and just starts laughing at
oh yeah man pretty badass
so we're still at this bar
another amazing thing that happens
right here is
so they get this dude swoop
involved and he's like this crazy
fucker that's constantly
in pajamas it's like Ted because it's
if he was a skydiver.
This guy kind of looks like,
what was the name of that dude
from Dead Man on campus?
Oh, Lockland Monroe.
He kind of looks like
Lockland Monroe
with like a D.B. Sweeney,
the actor thing going on.
D.B. Sweeney's the one
I always think of with this guy.
So they're like practicing for something
and he messes with this dude.
Oh man, I forget what it is.
There's something that happens
where this guy like jumps on this dude
while they're skydiving.
So what happens is, basically, and this is the thing that kind of doesn't make a lot of sense.
So, like, there's this big jump at D.C. and this is our team.
It's Wesley Snipes, Yancey Butler, this kid played by Coronemic, the bald guy from Cliffhanger.
Oh, God. Yeah, that's where that dude's from. Bob.
I thought he was, like, a northern exposure or some shit.
He also might have double-dipped.
He played the moose.
and what's his face
and this guy swoop
and for some reason
because
Gary Buse's whole plan
takes place on Memorial Day
he needs to get his team in there
so like they're there
and they're not keeping a low profile
like they want to get on the jump
but what they're also doing
is fucking with people
so like one of the guys
fucks with coronemic
this blonde guy
fucks with coronemic
and opens his parachute on the ground
and he goes flying
and it's like humiliating
so to get him back swoop
is willing to risk
everyone's life. And he does
what's called a gift rat. Yeah, there's
like a dude on the ground, like one of the
judges, and he's looking up, he goes,
quote, looks like a gift wrap.
Yeah, like this happens all of the time.
All this lingo. It's like
constant drug. Dude, we are getting
a front row seat
to a world we know nothing about.
Because there's two parachutes in every parachute
of it. It's the regular one and the
emergency one. So Swoop unhitches
his regular one.
in front of this guy and wraps him up
which could kill him and swoop
also like the reason you have that emergency
parachute swoop is just
giving you a better chance at not dying
so like to just get rid of that
get rid of the regular one well dude I mean
you have like no regard for your life if you're doing this
every day yeah I guess so you're just living in that
moment and in that movement that moment he was
like hey man gift wrap time
ladies see what happens
ladies and gentlemen I am so sorry
to announce swoop has been killed
we all notice
Rup was a fan favorite
amongst all of us here at
SNN
rest in peace
he tried to
light his fart on fire
which I believe is called
a cannonball in midair
and it just let his whole parachute up
and he leaves his underwear
to his cat
we're all going to wear
pajamas to honor him
and as
would have to be the case with any of these
skydiving junkies, he leaves behind
no next of kids.
But he was gnarly.
Cowabunga and good night.
So for revenge, Swoop goes to take a leak
and this dude from Gary Busey's gang
barges into the bathroom and starts beating the shit out of him.
Which is like, again, keep your note.
You're about to pull a job, by the way,
to steal all the DEA agents.
identities. We're doing like a Mission Impossible kind of
a thing. Can I tell you something I love about
this? Sure. The villain, the big guy
who like wants all this information is like
an old white banker dude.
Yeah. He's just like an old asshole.
Is it because he's like concerned
about like heat coming down on him from the
DEA? He clearly like launders the money
or something to that effect. Like he's
a big deal guy up there. It's like a
Netflix service that's very expensive
because like I'll give you the list
and every month it'll update for
$2 million.
murder season two
oh you want
stranger thing season three huh
three million bucks
three million
simoleans
smackaroos
so this dude
so this other dude on the team
that starts the fight
looks like he could be a fucking terrorist
from diehard
oh absolutely
this guy's like seven feet tall
blonde as the day is long
and then yeah
some fat guy
and this other shorter guy
and like Wesley Snipes
comes in and we finally get some Wesley Stimes karateing
which is awesome oh my god he fucking lays waste to these dudes
it's fantastic oh man
he just beats and it's like a closed quarters
bathroom fight it's fucking totally awesome
it just it goes on forever and I'm loving it
like the the blonde-haired guy
and the guy who he kicks in the balls
in front of the place
it's funny I kind of feel bad for like the 63 year old
truck driver
yeah that guy but he's also an ass
So he's like, hey, motherfucker.
Yeah, he's trying to do stuff.
He is so awesome.
They, he, Wesley, they destroy his stalls.
Wesley Snipes throws these people through stalls.
This bathroom is out of order.
Yeah.
And not because the toilet was clogged, but because it was broken in half.
I think he's fucking awesome.
One of the big, uh, villains in Justified.
Who, the fat guy?
Yeah, the big fat guy with the beer.
He's one of the big dealers.
I think you're right.
He's like marijuana guy.
He's the wee guy.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
I mean, like, everything.
Yes, yes, because he looks like that.
Right.
I mean, like, yeah, I need a scumbag.
One-900 scumbag, dude, there it is.
He can't get M.M. at Walsh this week.
Oh, you, this movie couldn't afford M.M. at Walsh.
Look, I wish ZZ Top could act.
And then someone's like, well, you know, we got a guy.
And we could clone him.
He's kind of fatter than anybody in Zizi Top.
This dude is great, though, because you always get this dude.
It's like a staple member of
these kinds of gangs.
It's the guy who doesn't participate in the thing,
but he's like driving the car.
He keeps the hideout clean.
He's making eggs in the beginning.
He totally is, dude, crying over them,
like George Sonsa.
It's such a sad scene to make fun of,
but George Sonsa crying over scrambled eggs is great.
It's a cathartic moment in that film.
He's sad.
And so they beat the shit out of everybody,
and then like everyone's,
On to sort of Wesley Snipes at this point.
And the way that they still have to get back at this team, which doesn't make any sense.
Well, it's like pranking the camp across the lake, dude.
You need fucking revenge.
So they're like, okay, let's cut open Yancey Butler's parachute.
That way they won't be able to do the jump because she's the leader.
Right.
On one of like the qualifying jumps.
And at this point, Coronemic is like the whiny like younger brother type for some reason.
Yeah, he's like been a part of this.
ranch the least amount of time
kind of a thing. So she's like he's whining
about something. She's like you know what dude? Why don't you take
my parachute? He's like okay thanks
and he takes it and whoops it doesn't
open. Yeah so this dude
like it's another crazy ass
like go get him. Yes
and like swoop is just fucking
full on conversations in the air which I don't know
how you can necessarily. Yeah is that possible
I don't think it's wild
you would have to have supervision like
actually be able to look at what
people are like signaling and I know like it's
possible to do all this shit.
So, you know, save that fucking tweet.
But I just want, like, my surprise in all this is, like,
Jesus Christ.
Like, it's just fucking terrifying.
And it's something that I love about this movie.
All the Ariel shit is so awesome.
It's pretty practical.
It's really, really great.
And I'm just constantly marveling at it.
Because we're cutting between, like, just green screen,
people, like, in a parachute.
Like, that's the conversational scenes.
Right.
But then, like, all the stunts are, like, real stunts.
Yeah.
And those are the people actually falling.
Yes.
They don't look like they can talk.
No, exactly.
We should call your father right now to see.
Get some input on this.
Those shots of Gary Bussey, he looks like he's like getting into a lazy boy.
Like he is comfortable in these aerial shots.
And you see him like he's pulling the different things to turn and whatnot.
He's just like, left, right, left.
Oh, this is so relaxing.
What's this?
I mean, a hot air balloon?
So the scene takes place in a hot air balloon.
Skydyev, what's that?
Like a motorcycle for the sky?
But so, yeah.
Cornemic Singh doesn't open.
Swoop sort of saves him.
No, he doesn't.
He's dead.
This kid is fucking dead.
And maybe I'm mixing up
with another skydiving movie.
I remember him,
somebody like bounces.
And I was like,
oh, this is when corn mnemic like bounces.
There is something where someone bounces.
I remember seeing a bouncing corpse.
Oh, what?
Now that's ringing a bell.
Yeah, what?
And, like, they're all, like, dusty and, like, totally dead.
And I thought that was this movie, but it's not.
Oh, balls.
It wouldn't be top gun.
No, it might be terminal velocity, but I don't know if you guys saw that.
I haven't seen terminal velocity, but I feel like I know what you're talking about.
I forgot it as soon as I saw it.
Yeah, I'm in that camp.
But, like, so he lands in a lake and, like, Yancey Butler does.
And she's actually good in this movie.
She's not to say, actually, she's good as this movie.
You know, she's very upset.
She gives him CPR and saves its life.
The kid should be dead.
Let's get some stakes going.
Parker Lewis cannot
lose. It's right there.
Yeah, you're right.
But he has to lose.
I'm sorry. He has to lose here.
Was that the series finale, actually?
He lost when like the Coob fucking wrecked his car
and Parker Lewis was killed.
Alec Baldwin took him out back and that was it.
Everyone's number comes up.
He plays chess with the devil.
Oh, wow. There, yeah.
I never saw that show.
Am I missing anything?
No.
No, not at all.
It's like a fake Ferris Beeler.
I think it's on Hulu now or something.
Fuck, get out of here, really?
I might tune in.
Well, I mean, after I just told Eric not to bother with it, I'm like, yeah, I'll check it out again.
Got some water programming to do.
Well, there's always that, Chris Cabin.
But, like, I feel like this smells of test audiences saying we don't like him dying.
We like him.
Don't kill him.
It's a likable enough character.
Come on.
Somebody has to die.
I'm sorry, this needs a bigger body.
They need to show the real world consequences of skis.
skydiving that's not related to
DEA related heist
cops and fucking security guards are getting
gunned down in their throat slit by
the dozen. Yeah. And
hilariously in the middle of this like after
one death, Gary Busey says, we can't kill a
we can't kill a cop. They smell
dead cops. We'll be run out of here.
And of course, he's killed like
20 of them by the end of this. Well yeah, because
but to your point, yes, like that should happen.
We do
cut to, and also by the way,
after this horrific accident and all the fucking horseplay that goes on,
either A, both of these teams are disqualified or B, the whole jump is fucking...
And the horse play, you mean, when they shove that horse out of the plane?
Because now they're skydiving with a horse.
I don't know about this, Dustin Hoffman.
It seems like a bad idea.
And now we have an expose to get you skydivers back on the right track.
We cannot shove horses out of airplanes, people.
This just ends.
Some happy news to report for once here on S&N.
Coronymic will survive.
The horrendous fall he had earlier today at the trials, he will make it.
It's incredibly unbelievable.
He was the result of an oopsie daisy.
That's what we call it when the parachutes don't open.
He did not, he did survive, were rare survival from an oopsie daisy.
It's also technically a whoopsie doodle.
is when an immortal
plummeted to earth
but we do
yeah but so this jump should be canceled
but it's not but we do get
there's two break-ins
the break-in at the end
there's one in the middle
that has some consequence
well there's a fucked up thing where it's like
this dude who's hiring Gary Busey
to do this stuff
or rather Gary Busey's like
you should give us this job motherfucker
the handler the middle man
and so the guy's like
Gary Busey says
Like, all right, we'll do this.
We'll do the first job for free.
Oh, okay.
So you can see how awesome it is.
So this is where they like break into this.
It's a, it's the DA's like evidence chamber or whatever.
Because they're stealing a bunch of coke.
But in the process, one man who's just innocently watching Jeopardy gets his throat.
I know.
It's so sad.
And then the guy working in like the fucking evidence locker is just shot through the heart by the not Yancey Butler lady.
And then which one?
Because they're getting all of Miami's undercover.
agents or whatever through the same
process. And it's amazing because
Gary Vucey is like pacing around this office
while Michael Jeter's doing
this hacking. He's like, can I help? Can I
help? What can I do right now?
But it's more than... Is my hot breath
helping you out or not?
You better hurry up. Better hurry up.
We've got to get out of here. The Coke's going to spoil.
You let me know when you need
a capital letter and I'll press the shift.
My horse breath
making your neck sweat or what?
I got all these discs for Minesweeper.
You did any of them?
I brought all the computer stuff I know.
I got it all right here, man.
There's another kind of like, this is great, actually.
There's another, like, much more minor break in, like, right before this, Yancey Butler
breaks in to, like, I guess it's like the FAA's investigation garage or something.
The death parachute for Jagger.
Right.
And so she's checking it out or whatever.
And Wesley Snipes, like, follows her into this garage.
By the way, do you guys notice it?
in the background, there's an abandoned
truck rig that just has fucking
bud dry on it.
Oh really? When you want Budweiser
that somehow tastes even worse
bud dry. What was it?
Bud Ice had more alcohol and it was a
liquor practically. What was Bud dry?
I think it's the street trash stuff
man.
They advertised
it Bud Dry as having
no aftertaste. So
it's like Budweiser that doesn't
taste like anything. It's it's
Budweiser that you won't regret drinking because you won't have any
that disgusting Budweiser aftertakes.
As your life has become a void, why not drink a void with Bud Dry?
Keep up the best part of drinking.
Getting dehydrated.
You stare into the abyss and sometimes it stares back into you.
That's Bud Dry.
Hulu Hala, see you in oblivion.
The only beer you can drink while playing.
chess with the grim reaper
Bud dry. The reaper
drinks it. If it's
good enough for the reaper, it's good
enough for me. So they
this is when they find out that the parachute
they were using had a special
kind of nylon, which goes nowhere, but
I just like the term smugglers rig.
It's a smugglers rig, dude. It's another
bit of fucking goddamn
skyjacker jargon. That sounds like
a great Clapton song.
And it's got to be like 12
minutes long. Oh,
so much noodling.
Yeah, no, that's more of a cream.
That's a cream tune, actually.
If you ever fucking take a toke in the ninth minute
of Smuggler's rig, man, you know when the
fucking guitar really hits it?
All right.
Everybody's strapped in for the Smuggler's ring
outro.
Oh, my God, Baker's doing
it with that solo.
Drum away, man.
Drum me right into the
Guy. Bommel that bass, brother. I got my smugglers Rick ready. I would love that song.
Eight minutes. Six left to go. The intro's over. The song is a side and a half on the vinyl, baby. You gotta flip in the middle.
Oh, man, that would be annoying. Flip in the middle. So yeah, it's the big night of the
big jump and
Yancy Butler is furious
with Gary Busey for this
so she wants to kill him and the best way
to do that is to take a gun
on a plane and wait for it to
take off and then confront everyone
in the air. Sure.
Question mark why. Because of
the rush. Just
because you're out for revenge doesn't
mean you can't also have the rush
man. That's a good point.
But the best part about it is my favorite line
in the whole movie. It's my favorite Gary Bucy is of the
movie is like she's she confronts everybody right when they're about to break a DA thing
and Gary Busey he's like oh shit it's Jaggers girl and then he looks at the other
the girl Cara and he's like this is his girlfriend now he meant nothing to you
you meant nothing to him it's like oh it's great like awesome yeah which and then he just
throws out of playing because obviously you would there's an open door isn't this where she
fakes killing herself yes oh that's right she does she perfectly
jumps down enough to get like it's a helicopter yeah dude it is fucking horseshit i couldn't even
believe it like i'm i'm watching this for the first time and i was like all right she's everyone's
got a secret shoot in this movie yeah exactly what happened another secret shooting why wouldn't
you have a secret shoot in this scenario i don't know i mean like i guess she's just like that
confident that this this marty mcfly fake back to the future two suicide is gonna work i thought
this was like a De Niro in 15 minutes
thing. I thought she just killed herself.
Does he, he doesn't kill himself in that movie? I mean, just get you kill off like
the second lead of the movie. He gets fucking stabbed repeatedly on
film in that movie. Stay the fuck tuned for that.
Do we see that in theaters together? Yes, we did. Yeah, that was a bad
afternoon. Bad idea. She's holding on to this bar which seems impossible
to do for anyone for more than like three seconds maybe.
Like three, four tops, but like it's 20 minutes. Everybody jumps out
the thing she's gone and then Wesley Snipes
is going after her with their team
and that's when they see her
and then like she sees them
and they kind of do a reverse
of the beginning of the movie where she jumps
and then Wesley Snipes catches her
Yeah and he has I mean this is a fucking crock
of shit because he's just like
he sees her like she drops
and he well no he goes first and he's like
this is the only trick I know and I was like
no please let swoop handle this
Swoop and fucking maybe on Northern Exposure are both in the airplane.
This is your third jump.
Are you ready to save people?
Something tells me, dude, you have not logged enough hours for a fucking mid-air rescue.
And Swoop has clearly already made his peace with God.
Oh, years ago.
Every day.
Every day he's ready for it.
Me and the Lord don't talk no more.
And maybe it's the New York thing, but you're only a lot, you have to like jump like ten times tandem before you can even jump with like a,
solo you're not just like
Is that right? Oh yeah man
Well this is what
Florida? Yeah they got freedom down
Yeah
Oh man in Florida
Here's how it works dude
Your first 10 jumps
Your fucking tandem with a gator
Then after that
You can jump solo
But no gatorless jumps
Before you hit the big one oh
That's a good point
Yeah you gotta get into double digits
A
Another gator related
Fatality is a sky
You know, sometimes I wish a week could go by here on SNN without a gator-related tandem fatality.
Seems like all I do these days on the airwaves is report grim death.
And then cut over to GNN-Gator news, Derek.
We got another one.
Oh, yeah.
Put it on the big board.
Bertha ate him up.
Dude, if there was a fucking thing.
And I don't even care if it was a puppet.
If it was a Gator Puppet reporting news, I would finally be in for the 24-hour news cycle.
Now 10 minutes with our Leonard Skinnered cover band the Freebirds.
Just the footage of Gators.
Which network is that on?
So he does save her, and then they both land on top of the DEA building.
Not only does you save her, but he also lands perfectly on top of the DEA building.
It's amazing. I mean, I think this guy, just with, like, the hours logged, he might be the greatest skydiver of all time.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, he's the chosen one. He's the fucking neo of skydiving. He's going to need a few days in the hot tub after this, though, because he lands on this thing with his back and it's pebbles and how.
He's going to be needing a few days in the hot tub because hopefully he's having fucking sexual intercourse with this woman afterwards.
You never know. As long as it sits off screen, you can imagine whatever you like. Yeah, I choose to believe they run.
rode off into the sunset together.
It's nice.
I like that, too.
Just doing jumps every fucking ding-dong day, man.
Oh, romantic jumps, totally.
Sky-fucking, the whole thing.
You get married, you get married in the era.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, does anyone sky fucked, or is that just, you know,
legends?
I'm sure they have.
I think I've seen footage of Sky Wedding type things.
Well, yeah.
Well, you're sure they have, Chris?
I mean, are we talking about, like, penetration?
Like, that's got to be hard to learn up.
The 80s in porno, it was.
like underground New York
70s experimental they were doing
everything what you got a fucking gimmick
we'll do it I mean if you were tandem
jumping in the nude I feel
like oh yeah okay
now I see like you start out like
you're already like interlocked
yes you're not doing that mid-air
you know what I'm saying two parachutes
meeting up with each other you know what I'm saying
I've learned what you're saying
I've gleaned and actually you might
all of that might have to be in the suit
you'd have to be in one singular
Like a giant fucking trash bag.
All right, some great news to report today in the world of skydiving adult entertainment.
Two of our greatest legends were finally filmed successfully having intercourse inside a hefty force flex.
This is skydiving after midnight.
Get ready for the best sky fucking.
Dude, man, like the skydiving Messiah is like born in the sky, like conceived in the sky.
That's, maybe that's Wesley Snipes's backstory.
He doesn't even know it.
Oh, right.
Yeah, he's the chosen one.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
He's got a weird, yeah.
He's got a weird birthmark on his back of a big parachute.
He didn't never do with that, man.
It's a fucking, it's a map to dry land, dude.
It's a map to a city in the sky.
Yes.
Yes.
So we're landing on this.
DEA building
this is great
there's way too much
security guards
watching television
in this movie
because the guy
who gets his throat
cut is watching
Jeopardy
and they're asking
for like the name
of the actor
who played the kid
in like the Charlie
Chaplin films
and this dude knows it
and he's screaming
at the TV
throat cut
then we get to
these other
dofaces
who are watching
Star Trek
but my favorite
security officer
is the woman
who's like
patrolling the halls
sandwich lady
dude she is
this
This woman is like, they're talking about like, oh, someone's burning something in the kitchen.
The alarm's going off.
Are you cooking anything up there?
And she's like, no, do you guys want to order a pizza?
And then like two minutes after that, she's seen in like the security guard fucking commissary or something, building what is no doubt a Garfield sandwich.
Yes, yeah, it's the biggest sandwich ever.
She's got this huge sandwich and she's like, all right.
Yeah, I'm off the floor 26.
Also, by the way, the most offensive thing about that.
this sequence is she takes out
the mayonnaise to put it on the sandwich
on this giant dogwood sandwich
and she does not put it back in the
fucking fridge. She leaves it
out. She leaves mayo
sitting on the counter. Because dude
how else you're going to know that some of
this movie was brought to you by
Hellman's? I guess so.
It's just right dude it's fucking label
facing the camera. Helmand's mayonnaise. Eric
Eric, Eric. She put a whole pickle
in a sandwich. She clearly does not care
about anything.
Dude, this lady's a
fucking anarchist.
Gary Bees is like,
let the sandwich go.
It means nothing to you.
This is my sandwich now.
Some people
just want to see the condiments spoil.
How long would you go
just looking at eggs and oil
mixed together?
So there's a bunch
of stuff that happens.
Basically, I mean, like a fight.
You're not wrong.
This woman gets, like, killed pretty cruelly.
It's very cruel.
It's very cruel.
She's a lovable character.
This sandwich, this cartoonish sandwich, man, I was so excited to watch her eat it.
Yeah.
She never got to eat that sandwich.
Well, because, again, they have to hammer into that these are villainous people.
That you hate, not killing the fucking protagonist's brother didn't do it.
Right.
I mean, like, Gary Busey's whole thing is like, all right now.
All right.
Just tell him everything's fine.
You're going to be okay.
Just tell him everything's fine.
And she does exactly what he says.
And he's like.
all right that shit lights out like murders her yeah well she did see him yeah oh no he has this is the
line he's like okay then you're dismissed yeah oh yeah and fucking shoots her right in the heart
a lot of direct heart shots in this movie these skydivers are shooting to kill man it's beautiful
um and then this is when wesley snipes the nancy butler get the action she uh yansley butler
fights the other woman uh in an office it's like a fucking mirror fight from speaking of mortal
combat sonya blade versus sonya blade
mirror mad yeah uh and she kills her with a copier
no quip with the copier though
there could have been something that would be like
she's looking at the face looking at the copy
and she's like wow i'm seeing double
yeah like there could be that
making copy
oh it was 94 definitely
Snyder cameo dude he's just there
comes out with his fucking
goblin face
and he's just like making copies
and then fucking Gary Busey shoots him
the heart yes i love it prefer that i like that i would like that to happen it's brutal though man
she is smashing this woman's face on the fucking copy bed we i think the gag speaks for itself
it does it is it is a gag we're making like a lot of the copies come out and it's just her fucked
up face which is pretty funny i'll tell you this though this is deeply unbelievable wesley
snipes uh wins a fight by default no no no no this guy he like fights and he like they go down
the stairs together and he just breaks his neck.
Oh, right. This dude, like, it's
an accidental kill. Yeah, and then
like, these people... Yeah, that's a real letdown.
These people who have been slaughtering people
on the regular, they
find one body of their own
and they go to pieces.
They don't give a shit about, clearly.
Wesley Snipes doesn't die hard.
He puts him through... He uses
his parachute and kind of puts him
through the elevator. Oh, yes.
He doesn't put ha-ha-ha, I'm a machine gun, but it's pretty
close. It's just without
the little catchphrase on the t-shirt.
Isn't there also like an Air Force One kill
coming at? Yeah, the
blonde-haired guy. Yeah, the dude who looks
like he could be in Diehard. So like they're on
the roof. This guy is fighting
swoop and fucking Northern Exposure
dude. Who's actually
in what? What's his actual credit? He's in
cliffhanger. He's
he gets shot.
Just a shoulder shut though. They were clearly
aiming for his heart though.
It's like, it's like
this dude's left shoulder and I was like
you were going right for that bald man's heart
but the best part of it is
is like swoop is willing to kill
at this point you know what I mean like gotten
into it man
he's like a deputy at this point what's weird
though is there's no scene
where like swoop
bald guy
grace Zabrisky they don't
like freak out
finding out that he's a cop
you need that scene of like you're a walk
oh no
I am a T-E-A agent.
Yeah, exactly.
You need something like that.
They're just like, yeah, that's cool.
Selkirk is a Korennemic's character's name.
Or Selly.
He's constantly called Selly.
I think he landed the miracle on the Mohawk.
But yeah, not the Hudson.
Swoop is like, oh, you shot my friend in the shoulder, huh?
Well, I'm going to put this noose around your neck and pull your fucking parachute.
It's quite great.
It's an exact fucking get off my plane.
Which was after this, though.
Right.
somebody saw this movie well this one's got the helicopter pad lights going on it so it's a real feature for the neighbors
well this was i say that man's being hung by a plane well harrison four did twice the first time he you know
the second shot was get off my plane which everybody knows but the first one was i'm gonna do what swoop did
and drop zone crack you ever see my favorite movie's drop zone
President Punch saw it twice in theaters.
Swoop, there it is.
Oh, it was coming.
I don't know how, but they found me.
Man, at the start of this, it was like,
welcome to we hate movies.
And I was like, someone's going to fucking say swoop there.
Thank you for making the prophecy come true.
It's happened.
Now the world can end.
I owe you five bucks.
Maybe this guy just likes Nike.
Anyone else think of that?
Oh, that could be.
Well, that would be swoosh.
Oh, that's true.
Which, I mean, I'm not calling a grown adult swoosh.
Now, and what is a swoop?
Well, that's a move in skydiving where, you know, it starts off as a tandem jump.
And then the prank part is you detach the person who doesn't have the shoot, you kick them in the back.
That's not true.
Fucking swoop, there it is, man.
Well, they're calling him swoop.
I thought it was like a Star Wars name, you know, like Dash Rendon.
It's like swoop, whatever.
There might be
There's swoop bikes
In Star Wars, I think.
What the fuck is a swoop gang?
I think it's like
There's, I think the Empire has
speeder bikes and like
dirt bags have swoops.
I don't know.
I thought the swoop gang was like
in attack of the clones
when Anakin
goes into that fucking Scuzz bar.
Elon Slees-Bagano is there
and he's got his fucking gang
of fucking swoops.
Maybe.
I'm totally making that up
You know what? It's something
Of course it is because it's Star Wars
You just give something a stupid ass fucking name
And place it somewhere and it sounds accurate
I do know that the swoop bikes were designed
By a disgraced Jedi swoop tusk
No they weren't
I know
Maybe Kuwaitu drive yards but not that
Maybe it was Cypher Diaz man
We finally figured out what that guy was up to
So there's a great thing
when Gary Busey
gets his fucking pause on this woman
it's this hilarious
like he grabs her
and just screams in her face
dude I think you could turn to stone
if that happened
if Gary Busey puts his arms around you
and screams while looking
like directly in your eyes
you'll turn to stone
hey if she dies from shock
which she would
that's an easier murder beef
come on
you'd at least have an Anapakwin
X-Men won white streak
after that moment
you know what I mean
you're not walking out
they're completely unscathed.
Exactly.
And then Ian McKellen, we love what you did with your hair.
Oh, man, that is the bitchiest line in that whole franchise.
I fucking love it.
Oh, I love it.
But, so this is the fight finally between Snipes and Bucy.
They're going at it.
We get your classic.
We both have our guns out at each other.
They're both empty.
Both empty.
You know what we also have, though, that's quite childish is the, like,
I'm on one side of the desk and you're on the other side.
It's just a shitty computer console.
let's fucking fire wildly into that thing.
What are we doing?
Well, then you would still just get clicks, clicks, clicks.
But then, yeah, you would get it done with quicker, I guess.
Well, I mean, I certainly know that neither of them are getting shot in the face.
Like, that's not going to be how this movie ends.
No, it would be pretty cool.
Do we, and do we all remember how Gary Busey gets in?
Oh, of course, we'll get there.
What, the fucking greatest death in the movie?
In the whole cinema history.
I mean, it's fucking awesome.
They're just kind of fighting each other.
It's great.
It's pretty, you know, they're really going at it.
A lot of good choreography here, you know, even from Busey.
It's like, it's a good, solid fucking dudeful crazy.
Like, you know what I mean?
Yeah, but this is definitely post-accident, though.
Yeah, he was on the lip.
Like, this was close.
I'm going.
And then, yeah, it's awesome.
Wesley Snipes is just like, hey, fuck it.
And just grabs him and jumps out this window.
Oh, man.
Pretty fucking great.
Wesley immediately pulls his parachute.
Another secret parachute, man.
they're all over this picture.
And then he proceeds to, as he's going up in the air,
dump Gary Busey's dummy.
Because it's a grade A practical effects dummy fall.
Yeah.
Oh, it's fucking awesome.
This is my only beef with this movie.
Oh, dude, I, this fucking bumps it up half a star.
Are you fucking kidding me?
You need Savini in here.
This should look like Hellraiser's bathroom.
Like this should be a real fucking blood bath.
I'm sorry for not cleaning up.
I didn't expect company.
Well, you're right.
It's all over the tiles.
On the ceiling even.
Look, everyone, it's hell.
You can't judge me for my bathroom in hell.
Of course, my grout is stained blood red.
Like 30 miles.
You're supposed to enjoy going to the bathroom in hell.
Get fucking with it.
Shit, I'm sick of it.
So Busey does go through the windshield of the...
He's like a tactical thing.
Yes.
And to Chris's credit, he's right.
There should be like a blood mist or an explosion of gore or something.
No explosion.
He should explode.
This dummy just goes through this windshield and it's like, well, that's it.
The guy's still driving the truck.
And that's the guy from before the guy with the beard.
It's the guy who's too fat for skydiving.
Right.
He's a guy.
He's a master from justified.
But it's a great shot because it's Bucy.
It's partially dummy, but at one shot, it is Bucy like probably on a rig or something going in.
And you see, you see the wheelman.
those teeth and he's like,
ah!
He did his fucking teeth first
into this windshield.
It's awesome.
I mean,
yeah,
he should,
it should be like
Jamie Fox and baby driver.
Like,
he should be like impaled
by the teeth.
Well,
that's the thing that was like,
I don't understand
the physics of this
because it's like a down
and then he stops in midair
to go forward to this really good point.
It makes no fucking sense.
He had rocket boots,
I think.
It's as,
it's as hard as destroying the Death Star.
Like,
you have to like really get Bucy right in there.
Well,
it's like,
it's like,
the end of true lies when the terrorist is like stuck
on that fucking rocket? He's going
straight at this truck. I don't
you got launched from some shit.
And just you should be throwing like
fucking cans of paint out the side.
He should have flown right into that fat guy.
Yes. Yes. And that is just like
it's like two people shaped water
balloons just exploding. I'd love it.
And then so that's the end of it really.
Wesley Snipes is hurt. He's on a gurney
and then he sees Michael Jeter.
come out in a DEA jacket
pretending like he's a slippery guy
and you think that he's going to get away
but nah-uh swoop has been deputized
there it is there it is indeed
he like jumps off a building
nearby to tackle this guy
I think swoop has like
magical binocular vision
I don't know how he even notices what the fuck's going on
Batman or something
yeah man yeah this dude being Batman
the idea that like you never know
when someone's going to skydive in this movie
like you know what I mean like you might
right now we're having a nice conversation
I can just jump out your window because I'm a skydive just right out
dude and you secret shoots wow it's not that far
man yeah I only live on the second floor
you'll probably break a leg bit before you get any shoot out
yeah and then it's just like this is where they
should be kissing they like they both
have their arms around each other it's all just right
there they're so close fucking terrible
society's terrible yeah everything's terrible
everything is terrible
but so yeah it's just like we're going to fade out
and once there's no visible
human beings in the frame
then we can start making out
but not before not a fucking frame before
do you understand me
says studio executive at paramount
just keep laughing
yeah keep holding each other but laughing
you're laughing with your mouths
yeah it was traumatizing but you're having
fucking fun now laugh
laugh god damn you
keep those lips separate
And then we cut to
SNN's headquarters
And they're like
Oh my God
We finally have real news
To bring you
I show oh wait what
We've been canceled
Shit
On the one night
We finally have something to broadcast
Well there goes my pull it sir
And with that
I'll leave you with just
Fond wishes
Safe travels in the sky
And I'll see you on the other side
Cuts off before he finishes
Because it turns out this dude
his whole network set up
like the desk and everything
has just been inside a plane
and he skydives out of the set
with the desk and everything
the whole thing
dude he just fucking pushes
the whole set out of a plane
the end credits are weird
because it's like a setting sun
and a woman doing like
they have the thing
it was at the end of hot shots
like the other shots
actually yeah you're right
well it's like this
I don't even know what you call them
these like wind column things
There's a training montage where they get Wesley in one of these things
And he's working on like balancing himself like while flying through a bunch of
Oh yeah I mean that's to me this is the biggest selling point of the movie is there is a that whole scene
A full Ted the wot the wet Sprocket song oh yeah the whole fucking cranked dude and uh it's just so it's that it's a woman doing like acrobatics in one of these wind tunnel things uh against a setting sun
why not just some end
footage of skydiving
What the fuck?
What is this up with this horse shit?
I don't need to watch this.
No, he couldn't get the rights from SNN.
Oh, you won't be able to afford
what we're going to ask for.
Are you kidding me?
Tomorrow I have to interview Joseph McCarthy.
Wait, what?
From hell?
Well, you know, he's dead.
Oh, right.
Now he's on H&N.
Oh, that's with Jeffrey Jones, right?
part of this
stay tuned to versed.
And that's it.
I actually do appreciate
how this is just a quick wrap up.
It's just like,
well,
there's literally no more story
that needs to be told.
Roll those credits,
which is,
you know,
admirable.
Sure.
There's no fucking like,
let me pull over
and, you know,
Sean Connery's
last voiceover appearance
or anything.
I thought,
Chit Kohi.
I thought you might get like
one,
like a,
McCracken, like, going to that boat
where the white guy, the white villain was.
Oh, right. Maybe he gets him. Because I don't think that
dude gets taken down, does he? No, no, no.
He's never seen again. Well, fucking, dude,
corporate America lives to see another day.
You know, it would be nice is
it's, it's, it's, it's, is Malcolm and Jamala Warner's grave,
and he's bringing his new girlfriend,
Yancey Butler. He's like, look, I finally found the woman
of my dreams, and yes, she's white America.
Can we fucking stand it?
I'll really piss over some fucking shit.
heads in this country, dude, she's pregnant.
Oh, yes. Oh, man.
John, I'm going to tell you what we did with your ending.
We burned it.
We clipped it off the end and we burned it.
Now you get back in the studio and you shoot some skydivers for my credits.
Or I'm going to kill you.
Did you see, by the way, who was the second unit director on all the skydiving?
J.D. Caruso.
DJ Caruso.
Or DJ, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's hilarious because they almost have the same.
John Badham and him have kind of the.
exact same career. They both directed
Saturday Night Fever.
And war games? Like
middle, middle of the road, not
good, not like, not great.
Yeah, you know what I suspect it doesn't
hold up, but when it came out, I thought was amazing
was the DJ Caruso film
Salton C. Oh, yeah. With Val Kilmer.
I bet that's just obnoxious to watch.
I never liked it. I saw it once
back when it came out of it. Kind of diddo, yeah.
It's like, yeah, yeah. Oh, no, I'm sorry.
No, I was just, it's my appeal.
And this is why I'm actually kind of surprised that you didn't
it but actually you're more versed in this than i am but like it is that like pulpy like neo
noir kind of shit good kilmer too very good kilmer good kilmer from what i remembered but who
even knows but i do actually now that i'm thinking about it's definitely vincent donovria with a
pig nose yeah that's fun and also adam goldberg is like fisting shit at some point yeah you guys
are reminded me why i don't like uh disturbia probably stay tuned right also probably oh you know
I mean, yeah, because why not?
But I remember kind of liking that movie.
I never saw it.
I was like, oh, it's like rear window with the internet.
Yeah.
If I remember as being like insanely boring,
but it's probably also ludicrous eagle eye.
Oh, dude, me and the misses saw Eagle Eye in the fucking theater.
Yeah, that's a real turd salad.
Would anybody recommend this movie?
Because that's the end of it.
Oh, yeah, it's great.
I really loved it.
It was super fun.
It's, uh, yeah, it's a blast.
It's a stone coal, Wesley Snipes Blast, he's doing karate, he's doing the thing, and yeah, it's right.
Yeah, I mean, it's, it reminds me a lot of point break, but it's very good.
I mean, this is, it is probably one of my favorite, uh, Snipes movies, actually, not the thing.
Yeah, probably.
But do you, do you think that due to like the, the content, actual quality of the film, or because this is your first Wesley Snipes experience?
It's both.
I mean, I also like John, in general, I like John Battam as a director.
I really like Sire Night Fever.
Great movie.
The first stakeout.
I actually think is great.
The first stakeout is
that's a franchise.
Well,
franchise two movies,
but it's like
one is grossly different
than the other one.
Yes.
The first one's a real movie.
The second one is a stay tuned.
And I've seen it like 40 times.
Oh yeah.
Easily.
That was a repeat rental.
I never owned it.
Repeat rental.
That's fucking sad.
Oh,
I just thought Emilio Estevez
was the living end.
For a long time there.
Well,
think about what that,
that plot of that movie
is there on this stakeout
where it's Richard Dreyfus
and Rosia Donald
pretending to be parents
to Emilio Estavit.
Who's like 40.
What about you there, Mr. Siska?
I like it a lot.
I like Drop Zone.
Not another steak out.
I like Drop Zone a lot.
It's strong recommend.
And I think we said this last week
that this would be the turkey
of Snipesgiving.
And I want to mention
and I wanted to thank everyone
who came out to our Blade Trinity show
this past week.
or whenever it was.
Yeah, I think that that's about right.
If that episode comes out, that will be the leftover.
Oh, right.
Oh, bravo.
That's your turkey sandwich the next day.
I've been thinking about that all week.
Glad you got it done.
Yeah, I had a fucking blast with this movie.
It was, I think, by far, the best Snipesgiving selection.
Sure.
I think this is a grade A hangover movie.
because you wake up, man, you're getting like acid reflux,
you're running to the bathroom,
but then you give yourself a hot second
because there's some beautiful skydiving footage.
That's what makes it because you don't have to follow the plot.
You're sick.
You're puking your fucking guts out.
And you come back, you look at the TV,
and you see that beautiful aerial footage.
There it is.
And some Toad the Wet Sprocket.
Which you cannot forget about that.
Cannot go wrong with.
Nope.
Now, I do want to ask this question, though,
because it's the end of Snipesgiving.
Okay.
And so we've been talking about like, you know,
some like fun
to boring and bad Wesley Snipes
movies can we go around
and give like wow that's a solid
ass Wesley Snipes movie
sure I mean like yeah I'll take the easy one
because I just rewatch it it's it holds up
Blade 2 and like he never
he never gets enough credit for
the superhero boom that we're currently in
it was post Batman we had a lull
we tried spawn that didn't work
Blade came out and everyone was like oh
superheroes are cool let's try and do
X-Men, which is kind of very leathery jacket
kind of your blade, and then we go on from that.
Yeah, it's blade.
I love Jungle Pever.
I think it's an incredible movie.
And I also really like him in King of New York.
Oh, he's a great.
Oh, right.
Oh, fuck, yeah.
And Lawrence Fishburn's amazing.
Lawrence Fishman is fucking insane in that movie.
Yeah, his work with Spike Lee in general is just incredible.
Yeah.
Mr. Siska.
Demolition, man.
Of course.
Legitimately good movie.
I was waiting for you.
It's a classic.
My pick has to be New Jack City, man.
He's fucking awesome in New Jack City.
And that movie has one of the best openings ever
because it's Wesley on the fucking Queensboro Bridge
dangling a dude by his fucking ankle,
just threatening to drop.
And it's fucking great.
And not to push us over the top here,
but how can we save Wesley's career?
This is my question.
Because it's unfair.
You know what I mean?
He's great.
He's still in amazing shape.
He paid his debt to society.
He did.
And so a lot of people in the world should have gone to jail for a lot less.
I guess the Taken formula, because, like, right now he's doing, like, these movies where he's, like, fighting aliens or some shit.
Oh, you're talking about the recall from this year?
I don't even know if it's out yet or not.
I guess maybe direct to DVD.
I have no idea.
But, yeah, I know it's hard to know what to do with an aging action star, you know?
So it's...
That's what's...
Oh, go ahead.
I mean, because he is...
I mean, I said Spike Lee, but he's incredible in Chirac.
I was going to say that.
Yeah, that was a really good point.
And I really thought that that was going to get him more attention.
Like, I thought that alone would do it.
But it hasn't really seemed to go.
I mean, he's doing alien movies.
So I guess he's getting paid.
So that's nice.
Yeah, I guess that's fine.
But, I mean, yeah, you know, just every time Spike announces he's going to make a new movie,
see if he can get in there.
Because that's a thing, like, aging action star, yes, he is.
But he's also, like, proven to be more.
So I think the sky should be.
the limit for Wesley Slaps. Dropsone
joke here. But, like, you know
what I mean? Like, he is a fucking great actor.
And, you know, we've, you know what, guys,
we've had a lot of fun this month on
we hate movies. Yeah, we have. But he's fucking awesome.
Well, you know, a move to do
is get him, and it's
very on brand for me to say this, get him
in, like, Black Panther 2 as the villain
or something. Oh, shit, yeah. You know what I mean?
That's actually a really good idea to get him involved
in the Marvel world.
Because way, A, Marvel owes their shit
to him, because he, like I said earlier, he
revamped the superhero formula. B,
he was supposed to play the Black Panther and the movie
didn't go anywhere. Oh, was that right? Yeah, like way back
when it was like, oh, you did Blade, do Black Panther
tears? I'd love to. I'd just went nowhere.
Does Black Panther, because I know in
that Captain America movie, his father's murdered, but does he have any
kind of like older dude relatives?
Well, his dad died in Civil War.
Oh, that's what I just said. That's literally
what I just said. Literally,
I just stopped listening when you're talking. Oh, wow.
Oh, thanks a bunch. No, no, I don't know.
He's thinking about the mailbag.
We're nowhere.
Steve's like,
we have more work to do tonight.
The credits are rolling.
That's Drop Zone, directed by John Baddam.
