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. -

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
It won't last too long -

had to look it up. It's bad. So good the rest of the movie, though.

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.

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.
