The Skydivers is a 1963 American crime film produced by Anthony Cardoza, and written and directed by Coleman Francis.[1][2] It stars actors Kevin Casey, Eric Tomlin, Cardoza and Marcia Knight,[3] with a performance by influential guitarist Jimmy Bryant.

After falling into obscurity for three decades, the film found second life in 1994, serving the basis for a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode (during which TV's Frank describes it as like "Manos without the lucid plot").[4]
