IT’S NOT THE FALL THAT KILLS YOU… Superstar Charlie Sheen (Platoon, No Man’s Land) brings fast-paced excitement to this high-flying action-adventure by writer David Twohy (Pitch Black) and director Deran Sarafian (Death Warrant). Sheen stars as Richard “Ditch” Brodie, a daredevil skydiving instructor who falls hard when a sexy, mysterious beauty (Nastassja Kinski, Tess, Cat People) walks through his door looking for a lesson—and apparently plunges to her death during a parachute jump. Ditch suddenly finds himself hurled headlong into a nightmare world of intrigue and deceit—and caught in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with the Russian Mafia. With pulse-pounding suspense and sensational skydiving, high-speed adventure doesn't move any faster than Terminal Velocity. The wonderful cast features James Gandolfini (TV’s The Sopranos), Christopher McDonald (The Rich Man’s Wife) and Melvin Van Peebles (Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song).Special Features:-NEW Audio Commentary by Entertainment Journalist and Author Bryan Reesman -5.1 Surround and 2.0 Stereo -Theatrical Trailer

Dumb 90s fun
What a thrill ride. A bazooka-wielding redneck in footie pajamas, a rocket car, driving a sports car out of a plane, a straight-up villainous Chris McDonald, secret Russian gold, and some of the most insane skydiving stuntwork I have ever seen. Tons of fun. And made in Arizona, to boot!

SKYDIVES INTO YOUR LIVING ROOM!!
If you like action movies or have ever walked out of a perfectly good airplane with a parachute on your back (I have), you're going to love this action thriller starring Charlie Sheen as a hotshot skydiving instructor who meets his match in a beautiful blonde woman who poses as a skydiving student and whose arrival spells only the beginning of Charlie's woes. The blond woman is not who she seems to be, and winds up bouncing off the ground (or did she?)the first time she goes up in a plane. So as not to spoil the movie, let's just say there's a lot of excellent skydiving scenes, some russians, beautiful women, a lot of cloak and dagger, an undertaker, and a three-legged dog! Take it from me, it's well worth watching. But watch out for windmills!

One of Sheen's better movies
I may never be base jumper or sky diver, but I can admire those who are. It was a good story, much like Drop Zone. I saw Sheen as the typical, blue collar thrill seeking male. Devil may care. We can't all be involved with jobs that provide suspense and a thrill every other moment, so we live in those that can, and do. Whether in real life, or through the movies.

Charlie Sheen's finest!
I've always loved "Terminal Velocity!" This Blu Ray was an upgrade from my old Laserdisc copy. The picture and sound quality is great. There's not much in the way of extras on the disc, a few trailers, and a commentary track. But it's the film that I bought it for. It still stands up as a great 90's action film. Plenty of skydiving scenes, shoot-outs, explosions, stunts, and comedy. The character of "Ditch" Brodie is definitely one of Charlie Sheen's best! A bit of an idiot...but he gets the job done!Be warned though, the disc is Region A. So, if you don't have a Blu Ray player that is Region free, I'd look elsewhere.

Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : Terminal Velocity (Blu Ray import us)
Pour le film j'aurais mis 4/5 mais pour l'édition Blu Ray seulement 3.Le doublage français n'est pas celui que nous connaissons de Charlie Sheen et du coup le résultat n'est pas du tout le même. Doublage québécois donc.Par contre le blu ray stipulé zone A passe sur les lecteurs zone B.Côté image c'est mieux que sur le DVD mais sans être exceptionnel.

Geheim-Tipp -----kaufen!
Hier handelt es sich um einen der besten Action-Filme der Neuzeit, mit intelligenter Dramaturgie, spannenden Wendungen und sympathischen Darstellern (...meine Herren, Frau Kinski ist ein Traum...;-)).Warum dieser Film kein Hit wurde und Nasti Kinski damit kein Weltstar wurde....keiner kann es verstehen.Nicht darauf warten, dass der Film alle 5 Jahre nach 23.00 Uhr im ZDF kommt - hier kaufen und sich freuen!
