Assistant to producer Michael G. Wilson saw a photo in an ad of a skier jumping out of a helicopter, and insisted on re-creating the stunt for the opening of this movie. As such, an advertisement inspired the famous opening skiing sequence. It was for Canadian Club Whisky and featured Rick Sylvester jumping off Asgard cliff on Baffin Island, Canada. The ad had been staged elsewhere, and had been performed off the El Capitain Peak, Yosemite Valley, California. The ad read: "If you Space Ski Mount Asgard...before you hit the ground, hit the silk!" Sylvester performed the stunt for this movie, which famously ended with a parachute of the Union Jack opening. Sylvester also did the Meteora mountain fall in Solo per i tuoi occhi (1981).
