2nd in ridiculousness only to Keanu Reeves jumping out of the airplane with no parachute in Point Break.
The surface of that water would have been like hitting cement.

Yes, it was ridiculous as hell. It's an action movie but that was pushing it. So was Sizemore's character grabbing a shoe in hopes he wouldn't fall to his death.
Falling/jumping to a hotel pool several stories must be something awesome, because they even had a horse do it in a Schwarzenegger movie. Well that scene had some great angst from Johnson's character before he jumped.
Perry: "You,

Incidentally, one of the stuntmen who jumped in that famous scene in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" actually played the Marlboro Man in cigarette commercials before they were banned in 1970.

It was ridiculous. But so is the movie. Although it sure is entertaining.

There were guys with bulletproof coats. Bulletproof. Coats. And they didn't even flinch when they got hit. The whole movie is over the top, that's part of why it's awesome.

Its totally plausable. He broke the surface water with the briefcase.
A similar thing happened when the Sydney Harbour Bridge was being built. A worker fell from it and was smart eniufh to reach into his tool belt and throw a wrench down which broke the water and saved his life.

Sounds like a 1000% urban legend, but OK.

I own you.

It's nothing compared to some of the over the top stuff in big action movies now. You could even call it realistic compared to something like furious 7
