The Skydivers (1963)
1/10
Skydiving + Coffee = Pointless Film
26 October 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Coleman Francis has to be one of the worst directors to ever live. Ed Wood made some inept films, but this piece of crap beats Wood's schlock. Who the hell decides to make a movie totally around skydiving and the shocking true underbelly of the sport parachuting industry (or not). It's pretty hard to decipher the plot (if there really is one).

It looks like Coleman used his usual formula of coffee, parachuting, drunks and vigilante shoot-outs to make a muddy, unfocused film. Just try watching this thing without the MST3K commentary. It's like watching something that some 10 year-olds wrote and shot with a little help from some adults who wanted to appease the brats. As per usual, the cast is completely inept, the shots look like they're out of a home movie, and the dialog is hopeless.

Coleman Francis, you were a sick, sick man.
