A couple of days ago, I watched
Tomorrow Never Dies, the second 007-film with Pierce Brosnan (1997).
I was appalled to detect a huge factual
mistake.
Bond is supposed to make a HALO (High
Altitude Low Opening) parachute jump. Before he makes the jump, an
officer tells him that he needs to keep his oxygen mask on if he
wants to avoid dying of asphyxiation, because he will be jumping from
five miles of altitude (26,400 feet or 8 km).
While this dialogue is taking place,
they are standing in the cargo hold of a military transport airplane
with the loading gate completely open. Although they should be
enduring conditions comparable to those close to the summit of Mount
Everest, they behave and talk as if they were in an office building.
No, no, no...
What surprises me is that the director,
the actors, and the dozens/hundreds of people who contribute to making a film
didn’t noticed it.
