Movies: Jumping with no ‘chute

I assume there is already a list of movies in which someone jumps from a plane without a parachute, but I was unable to find one. If you do, please post a link in comments. Until then, perhaps you can help me compile.

  • Point Break – Keanu Reeves jumps out to arrest PatrickSwayze in free fall
  • Eraser – Arnold Schwarzenegger throws ‘chute out of the plane and jumps after it. (Not sure about this one)
  • Drop Zone – Wesley Snipes drops out of a trap door in an airplane with no parachute. (Ben Krech)

And it seems like one of the James Bond movies did this stunt but I can’t recall which one. And I’m pretty sure there are others. Go!

    Moonraker (1979) – James Bond is pushed out of a plane without a parachute and must struggle mid-air to obtain one from an adversary. 

    Point Break (1991) – FBI agent Johnny Utah leaps from a plane without a parachute to apprehend a suspect in free fall. 

    Eraser (1996) – U.S. Marshal John Kruger is ejected from a plane without a parachute and must find a way to survive.

    Shoot ’Em Up (2007) – The protagonist engages in a mid-air gunfight after jumping from a plane without a parachute. 

    Uncharted (2022) – Nathan Drake is thrown from a cargo plane and must navigate his way back to safety without a parachute.These scenes often blend practical stunts with visual effects to create thrilling sequences.

  2. Drop Zone: Wesley Snipes drops out of a trap door in an airplane with no parachute.
