The 1991 movie Point Break features a sequence where Special Agent Johnny Utah jumps out of a plane without a parachute and catches up to another person with a chute while in mid-air.

I believe I've since seen variations on this idea since then as well as other action sequences involving similar moves.

Is Point Break the first appearance of such a sequence? Or had it been done previously?

  • Nice! Thanks! I was curious about at what point it actually became technically feasible to do it. Cameras that would work for movie level capture in those circumstances.

According to this documentary, this was first done 12 years earlier than Point Break in the 1979 James Bond film Moonraker.
