'''''Terminal Velocity''''' is a 1994 action thriller directed by Deran Sarafian (''[[Death Warrant]]'') and stars [[Charlie Sheen]] as Ditch Brody, a skydiving instructor dealing with a tragic accident involving an inexperienced skydiver he took up on her first jump.  When he discovers that all is not what it seems, Brody finds himself dealing with a larger conspiracy.  The film, which also co-stars [[Nastassja Kinski]] and [[James Gandolfini]], was written and co-produced by [[David Twohy]], and is somewhat notable for being one of the earliest films to feature the then-new [[Heckler & Koch USP]] pistol.

Terminal Velocity (1994)

Terminal Velocity is a 1994 action thriller directed by Deran Sarafian (Death Warrant) and stars Charlie Sheen as Ditch Brody, a skydiving instructor dealing with a tragic accident involving an inexperienced skydiver he took up on her first jump. When he discovers that all is not what it seems, Brody finds himself dealing with a larger conspiracy. The film, which also co-stars Nastassja Kinski and James Gandolfini, was written and co-produced by David Twohy, and is somewhat notable for being one of the earliest films to feature the then-new Heckler & Koch USP pistol.
