400 feet is the minimum height to deploy the parachute.
Let's do the math:
400 feet in real life = 50 feet in the movies (you divide by 8). :))
:P I can imagine.
Not wanting to boast but I'm actually with parachute reconnaissance in the Swiss military. I'm a Grenadier (which is the Swiss equivalent to a Marine). :)
Navy would have been my dream!
...but sadly Switzerland doesn't border any seas :))
It's true there is a maritime branch in the Swiss army. Military patrol boats (unarmed) are on the several big lakes and on the biggest rivers. Search and rescue mission (on water) are often done by the army in fact.
Mission acomplished.
Don t mock the dead.
Christopher Lee always knew what he's talking about ;;)
Well it is documented. Boils down to opinion I suppose.
Incidently, I'd like to know @Thunderfinger's thoughts on The Fourth Protocol in which Broz plays an active KGB officer.
Funny you mention that, because it's true for me. I belong to a Special Ops unit (sounds fancy when it's first of all hard work) I was trained in hand-to-hand combat, house-to-house fighting and survival in the mountains.
Checking the environment or as you said exits in a building, room is in my DNA.
@Thunderfinger beat me with his witty remark about exits on a forum like this
:)) or else I would have said something similar
I want James Bond (Daniel Craig) being shown in his military uniform. After all he is a commander. It sure would look good on him!!
So did I (just yesterday). It's a gorgeous film to look at. First half is first class imho, but it sort of drags for me in the 2nd half. Still, it's a hugely ambitious Bond film.....as big as ever. Gets knocked a little hard around here imho due to space section and silly bits.
Yeah, it really is beautifully photographed. It helps that the filmmakers went to stunning locations like Venice and Rio, but you still need a competent film crew and give the movie the flavour from those locations. Also, the space sequence looks out of this world.
;)
There were no Road Runner deaths like Kananga, no 'destroy the world' plots, or impossible henchmen like Jaws, no parrots talking to the PM or tuk-tuk tennis fights, and no shrieking endlessly of Bond's first name.
True, but it's so boring.
This right here. It's why it's my least favorite Moore film and one of my least favorite in the series.
We got a silly Sheriff acting racist, a stupid bimbo played for laughs, a ludicrous martial arts exhibition out of nowhere, a henchman more comic than menacing (etc, etc...) instead though...
