Cliffhanger (1993) The opening sequence in Sylvester Stallone's action classic isn't for vertigo sufferers. It's a visually stunning set-piece, a mixture of practical effects and stunts edited to perfection by Frank J. Urioste. Michelle Joyner also looks absolutely terrified.

Watched this recently (a delightful slice of nostalgic 90's action for me), and I noticed for the first time that Frank (pilot) absolutely wants her to die - look at that expression. Sinister as all Hell (about 2.35 in the clip).

Saw this one opening night in a packed theater. You could hear people hold their collective breath in between sudden cries from the acrophobics (present company included). Pretty sure a few people near me fear-farted. And that was...THE OPENER???

The rest of the movie isn’t very good but this is one of the greatest opening scenes in movie history. I thought I was going to have a heart attack the first time I watched it.

Nope. Don’t like this scene. Don’t like heights.

Saw it in my home town theater. I was somehow sitting under the AC and was freezing the whole time. It was wonderful

The "Sarah Falls" cue by Trevor Jones for this sequence is an extraordinary mixture of propulsion and emotion. And such spectacular (and dangerous) work by DoP Alex Thomson and his camera department!

The history of Fibonacci's clock is quite intriguing, as it combines the fascinating world of mathematics with the practical application of timekeeping. The clock is named after Leonardo Fibonacci, also known as Leonardo of Pisa, an Italian mathematician from the Middle Ages. Fibonacci is most famous for introducing the Hindu-Arabic numeral system to the Western world and for his work in the Fibonacci sequence. However, the Fibonacci clock we know today is not a direct creation of Leonardo Fibonacci. The modern Fibonacci clock is a tribute to his mathematical genius and the beauty of the Fibonacci sequence. The clock's design is based on the sequence, with each number represented by a specific color or pattern. The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting with 0 and 1. The sequence goes as follows: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so on. The sequence appears in many natural phenomena, such as the arrangement of leaves on a stem, the spiral patterns of a pinecone, and the growth of a nautilus shell. The Fibonacci clock is a unique timepiece that displays the time using the Fibonacci sequence. The clock face is divided into sections that correspond to the numbers in the sequence. The time is shown by illuminating specific sections of the clock face, with each section representing a different unit of time. For example, one section might represent hours, another minutes, and another seconds.
