The Adventures of a Skydiving Instructor

This is really an old movie. It might have been very creative and shocking at the time, but today it seems to be the level of an ordinary action movie. Sure enough, time is a knife, sharpening a lot of fun.
The male protagonist, Charlie Sheen, is not a first-line, nor is he a handsome man, with a very ordinary appearance, so it is not attractive to passers-by. As for Natasha Kinski, please forgive me for not admiring this kind of beauty, in short, I think it is quite ordinary, except for the figure. This movie is a mediocre box office and rarely mentioned, not for no reason.
The story revolves around skydiving, which may have been a bold idea at the time. The deviant skydiving coach Dicky met the beautiful Chris, and he fell in love with him at first sight. Dickie faces accusations and lawsuits, but he feels something is wrong. Through Chris's intentional guidance, he sees Chris again. In order to clear his name, Dickie had to follow Chris's instructions to parachute to a factory to take out a disc, and he got caught in a whirlpool. Finally escaped the pursuit with a high-speed rail car, but was taken to a hijacked plane. After the two fell out, Chris went alone to stop the plane from taking off, and Dicky found his conscience to help. After experiencing a high-altitude car crash, it was a showdown in the wind workshop.
The whole movie basically revolves around skydiving. The first two are just a small test, and jumping into the factory at night is the first climax. The last is the essence of the whole film. First, the biplane approached the transport plane, and the protagonist climbed into the transport plane with gymnastics. Then, the heroine was rescued during the rapid fall of the sports car, and the main and auxiliary umbrellas were used successively during the falling process, and the windmill was avoided.
It's still a Cold War mentality, and it's still KGB, so the plot is really lackluster. However, the tension and excitement of skydiving is also the only selling point of the whole film.
