Wow, I've never heard Shostakovich's 8th Symphony used in a film before, until I got to 1:25 of this clip...

Proof is one of my all time favorite skydiving movies.

Great to see it on YouTube.

I have it on VHS at home.

LMAO!  Thanks for posting this! I KNEW I had seen the Fandango scene before way back when I was in college in 77-82 and jumping at Talequah's Skydance DZ. Outstanding!

This film was shown to me by Sky Dive & BASE guru Carl Boenish in 1980 we watched this film in a living room in Palos Verdes Estates - Later many years I once again saw the Fandango version on VHS tape- and my mind reeled back to this memory of the PROOF - Thank You For Posting

That is Marvin McIntyre, correct? The guy who plays Truman Sparks in the original? Glad the kept him - and lost the stupid wig.

this is like the holy grail of Fandango-

when I saw the VHS of the Costner flick I thought back to this original which I had seen in 81- thank you for the revelation -

I actually saw a private sceening of this in 1981 - in Rolling Hills (L.A.) with Carl Beonish famous Sky Dive camera Man - he shot the jump footage (?)
