Review of The Skydivers (1963) by Gideon A — 29 Nov 2010
One of mystery science theater 3000's finest moments and one of filmdom's most surreal. This is the second installment of the Coleman Francis trilogy (the dialog-challenged Beast from Yucca Flats' and the wonderfully execrable 'Red Zone Cuba' are the other two) and his reputation as the airport Felini is firmly cemented by this film. Skydiving. Romance. Intrigue. Nefarious plots. Torrid love affairs. Drug-fueled dance parties. Coleman Francis attempts them all and succeeds at none. well, except skydiving.
You can probably sum up the entire film with the mst3k comment "A man comes to town. Touches no ones life. And leaves".
