The Skydivers is a 1963 American crime film written and directed by Coleman Francis and produced by Anthony Cardoza. It stars Kevin Casey, Eric Tomlin, Anthony Cardoza, and Marcia Knight, with a performance by influential guitarist Jimmy Bryant.
After falling into obscurity for three decades, the film found second life in 1994, serving as the basis for a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode (during which TV's Frank describes it as like "Manos without the lucid plot"). Trace Beaulieu, the voice of Crow T. Robot in the Comedy Central-era of the show and portrayer of Dr. Clayton Forrester, stated in an interview presented in Thanksgiving 1995 on Comedy Central's 5th Turkey Day marathon for Mst3k during the MST Anthology segments that he felt “Skydivers” was the worst movie they had riffed on at that time, during the episode's run on the marathon.
