Of course, he turns out fine without a single scratch.

* ProductDeliveryOrdeal: The US Army occupies a village overlooking the Ho Chi Minh Trail until Viet Kong forces overrun it, and slay the village's sacred elephant as a penalty. The Army decides to regain the trust of the locals by delivering a new elephant to them. Since the Viet Kong control all the approaches to the village, the only way to get the elephant there is by airdrop from a C-123.

''Operation Dumbo Drop'' is a 1995 Creator/{{Disney}} live-action film set during the Vietnam War. In it, Capt. T.C. Doyle (Creator/RayLiotta), a hard-nosed Green Beret, is assigned to a local village to keep watch on the Ho Chi Minh trail. There he meets up with with Capt. Sam Cahill (Creator/DannyGlover). While the two are out scouting the trail, the NVA raid the village, discovering a chocolate bar wrapper, meaning the villagers were harboring American troops. As punishment, they shoot their prized elephant.

* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: Elephants are too heavy relative to their leg strength to jump ''normally'' without injuring themselves. Bo Tat would have broken all four ankles just from the shock of the chute opening, assuming that it didn't die outright. But even if the elephant did survive, the landing would be even worse[[note]]''Human'' skydivers have been known to break their legs if they don't land right[[/note]] (and that's before you take into account the fact that it would be landing on ankles that are already broken).
