Jumpin 15 stories into the pool - Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1991) Discussion

[–] Excaliburan 12 years ago

Yes, it was ridiculous as hell. It's an action movie but that was pushing it. So was Sizemore's character grabbing a shoe in hopes he wouldn't fall to his death.

Falling/jumping to a hotel pool several stories must be something awesome, because they even had a horse do it in a Schwarzenegger movie. Well that scene had some great angst from Johnson's character before he jumped.

Incidentally, one of the stuntmen who jumped in that famous scene in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" actually played the Marlboro Man in cigarette commercials before they were banned in 1970.

It was ridiculous. But so is the movie. Although it sure is entertaining.

There were guys with bulletproof coats. Bulletproof. Coats. And they didn't even flinch when they got hit. The whole movie is over the top, that's part of why it's awesome.

Its totally plausable. He broke the surface water with the briefcase.

A similar thing happened when the Sydney Harbour Bridge was being built. A worker fell from it and was smart eniufh to reach into his tool belt and throw a wrench down which broke the water and saved his life.

Sounds like a 1000% urban legend, but OK.

It's nothing compared to some of the over the top stuff in big action movies now. You could even call it realistic compared to something like furious 7

2nd in ridiculousness only to Keanu Reeves jumping out of the airplane with no parachute in Point Break.

I'd do that over the pool thing anyday, although i wouldnt fuck around for as long as he did before pulling the cord

Hack Don Michael Paul admitted that LW2 was a huge inspiration for the this film, that selling that script put him on the map, when he was promoting Half Past Dead as “The New Rock” ie Michael Bay feature 20 years ago!!

well any man who write manly masterpeace like HDATMM have my respects. he could write life time of shit movie but if he write marlboro man then he get dispensation. he may borrow scene from LW2 but he create great western theme movie with kick ass harley motorbike instead of horses ie 'steel horse i ride' song at start by wuss bon jovi

harley davidson & marlboro man is antidote to present day fugly woketards who want to ruin great film with there woketard demand for butt pirates and diversity to be leads instead of great written character from the heart who are cast on talents not insecurity.

harley davidson destroys all fugly 2000 pound feminist keelai's who fill there shit stained underwear at sight of 90 mins of unashame manlyness and they must all run for cover to avoid being shelled by testosterone fuel bad assery.

if this film come out today then a woketard feminist would write it and they turn harley and marlboro man into two black trans freaks who are travelling to adopt son for trans surgery and the bad guys are white man trying to stop them hahaahha

thank you porshe. it would be more funny to me if it was not truth. hollywood now are replacing storyline with degenerate. film piracy has been replaced with butt piracy. like lunatics run the asylum.

at least we will always have the good films to talk about from 1960s-80s. woketards cannot touch these film.

Sean Connery tossed Lana Wood ("Plenty O'Toole") off a very high hotel balcony into a pool in "Diamonds are Forever". Same result--no harm done.
