It feels a little loose.

The suit's fine.

Would you bring me my hat, Mack?

Thank you.

You can't live in fear.

All right, we're up here on the right.

Mr. Blaze. Amy Page, event publicity.

- Have time for a quick interview?

- I don't know how long...

...you been doing your job,

but Johnny Blaze don't do interviews.

Not even for an old friend?

Hey, Johnny.

Hi.

I'll do it.

Okay, and ready

in five, four, three, two...

How's your dad?

Johnny Blaze, thank you for talking

to us before your big jump.

No one has ever attempted

such a distance before...

...three hundred feet

from field goal to field goal.

What's going through your mind

right now?

You look really good.

I've seen you on TV.

You know, I watch a lot of TV

and you do a really good job.

Johnny, what drives somebody

to risk their life for entertainment?

I heard you got married.

Oh, no. No, it didn't happen.

No?

Most of the time the press focuses on

the crashes, the broken bones...

...the costs of what you do.

Are there any other costs?

- commemorating this

epic milestone...

...in the life of

the world's greatest stuntman.

And remember, 40 percent

of all proceeds tonight...

...go to the Barton Blaze Foundation...

...dedicated to helping those in need

here in our home state...

Okay, well...

Thank you for this revealing peek

into the life of Johnny Blaze.

I'm Roxanne Simpson, on scene.

And we're out.

- You're gonna stay for the jump, right?

- You know, we gotta get back.

Plus, I never liked watching you jump.

- Please.

- Sign this.

Roxanne?

- Come on, just one signature.

- You need to get back to your seat.

- You don't have to push.

- All right.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say

you two had some kind of history.

That was it, Mack.

The sign.

The sign?

- Sure you don't wanna stick around?

- No.

It hasn't started yet.

I'll buy you a doughnut.

Come on, Roxie, it's Johnny Blaze.

Let's go.

Thank God you listened to me,

took the cars out.

It would've been suicide otherwise.

This way if you come up short, see...

...you'll come down

on some nice, soft, green...

...grass.

Johnny Blaze will not be jumping

...but instead will be leaping

six UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.

Never before has any man attempted

such a death-defying stunt.

I took the cars out.

Why? Why, JB?

Why wouldn't you tell me?

- Because you would have thrown a fit.

- Call me old-fashioned...

...I'm funny that way. Human sacrifice

makes me uncomfortable.

Why, JB? Why helicopters, man?

You know what I've been

thinking about? A new stunt.

But instead of the cars

or the ring of fire...

...a helicopter.

My dad thought it'd be cool.

- He was right.

- Yeah.
