Where to Watch Drop Zone
- JeremiahMay 5, 2026Haven't seen this since the 90s. Was like watching it for the first time. Despite being the star of the flick, Snipes felt like 2nd fiddle to what felt like Yancy Butler’s movie. Even with less screen time her story made more of an impact for me than anything Snipes had going. Her girl fight scene in the office was pretty badass. Some cool shots, amazing skydiving stunts, successfully lessened by insert shots of the actors on terrible green screen. 90s Gary Busey is always a welcome watch for me. Its cheesy and does nothing better than what Point Break did but its watchable has its moments. Also bunch of this movies soundtrack kinda like Pirates of the Caribbean. Oh look Hans Zimmer worked on both.
- Pascal BollierJune 8, 2025for the life of me, i do not understand why yancy butler did not become a bigger star, her voice, her eyes, her general looks.....top notch! then you have wesley snipes who does wesley snipes (which is what we want) and you have gary busey (nuff said). all this coupled with a Zimmer Score during his "Crimson Tide" and "The Rock" years means you get a perfectly entertaining little action movie
