Drop Zone (1994)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris pull the ripcord on 1994's Drop Zone, starring Wesley Snipes, which just released on 4K. Snipes plays US Marshal Pete Nessip, who is escorting a computer hacker, Leedy (Michael Jeter), on a plane with his brother and fellow Marshal, Terry (Malcolm Jamal Warner). The aircraft is hijacked, with the hijackers kidnapping Leedy and skydiving out of a blown hatch from the plane. Terry and several other passengers are killed, and Pete is determined to track down the skydiving crew who pulled off the hijacking and get justice for his brother. Yancy Butler co-stars as Jesse Crossman, who introduces Pete into the world of skydiving. Zach and Chris discuss how Pete can instantly perform solo skydives, Gary Busey's overly complicated villain scheme, how world champion skydivers wrote the movie, how the film evolves into a classic slobs vs. snobs 80s sports movie, and more. You can watch Drop Zone via the new 4K release or on digital platforms like Prime Video, AppleTV, or Fandango at Home.
