July 21, 2003: Tomb Raider sequel

Fun Facts: In Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), Angelina Jolie had to wear bra padding, in order for her bust size to measure up to the videogame character. Jolie wears considerably less (and possibly no) padding in this film, as the decision was made to give Lara more realistic dimensions.

In the scene where Lara Croft and Terry Sheridan jump off a building wearing "flying suits", called wing suits, the stunt was performed by the two men who developed the suits. No CGI, wires, nets, or other special effects were involved. The modern wing suit was invented by Patrick De Gayardon, who died in a parachute accident in April 1998, while testing a new type of parachute in Hawaii.
