Coleman Francis, perhaps THE worst director ever to dis-grace the silver screen. In his short film career, he made 3 excruciating fiascos that are painful to watch and sit through. THE SKYDIVERS is only slightly better than RED ZONE CUBA, but not by much. If it were possible on IMDb, I would've given RZC no stars and this movie half a star. MST3K showed this one, and their comments are some of the best ever. Here's the slim plot: At an airfield in New Mexico, a pilot/ parachutist, named Harry, shares bland, wooden dinners with his wife, Beth. On the weekends, he rents out his plane to skydiving enthusiasts. Frankie, a former plane mechanic, and his girlfriend Suzie plot to pour acid on Harry's parachute. When their plan works, the town hunts them down. And that's about it. There's not one interesting character. And none of the actors can act to save their lives. There's no real drama, or story. Everything is loosely hinged around aerial footage of people skydiving. If you simply MUST see this film, take a cue from Coleman Francis and have "lots of coffee" on hand. The MST3K version gets 8 Falling Skydivers out of 10!
