The story for years although Rickman now says he doesn't remember has been that when they shot the close-up of Rickman falling, they were supposed to count to three and drop him, and his surprise/panic was genuine because they actually let him go on the count of two.

The building fall was done with a cable brake system an arresting cable being unwound, and a brake stopping the motion before he hits th ground
ironically, not unlike what McClane improvised with the fire hose to get off th roof.
I'm tired.
I hope it won't be much longer.

So may great moments in that film. Two of my favorites are the SWAT guy pricking himself on the rose bush and the thug sneaking out the candybar from the counter.

The dive from the bridge
"Tarzan's New York Adventure"
Real wretched effect
But no one agrees
The Joker's fall in "Batman"
Was the worst ever?
I grow more tired
Minute by minute. I hope

And he bitched about it a lot, I have heard.

Yep, Joker's fall. Saddens me to say, worst I have seen. A slight blemish in an otherwise great movie.

Skeletor in Masters of the Universe was much worse.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

Ronny Cox's in Robocop was the worst I can remember and it was so bad it springs clearly to memory.
We belong to each other now. For better, for worse, like love - only real.

Point taken.
I remember an old Flash Gordon serial where Flash and one of Ming's guards fall off the top of Ming's palace (and fall like stones). Flash survived because he landed on top.

If her head doesn't end up in a box, not interested.
Actually, I don't know which is worse: being killed horribly, or being killed by Kevin Spacey.

There are one or two bad ones in WHERE EAGLES DARE, which I noticed even when I watched it in the theater as a little kid. Also, the one at the end of DR. CYCLOPS doesn't look that great if I remember correctly.
A fairly good (and still shocking) use of the same effect, however, is in KING KONG '33 when Kong plucks the woman out of her bed and then drops her several stories. There's also a still of a shot in which Kong's own demise was done the same way but the background bled through.
