When a bunch of passengers are sucked out of a hole in Air Force One at 30,000 feet, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) leaps into action. In order to capture that action sequence Shane Black recruited the Red Bull skydiving team. The director made a bold decision by opting to go with live-action actors instead of digital versions. It took the film crew six days to shoot the skydiving scene.
