Not sure what this film is, I think it's a comedy from the eighties, I only saw a bit of it on TV.

Anyway, here's the situation, there's four guys or so and they need to make money for some reason or another, so one of them is coerced into doing a sky drive jump which, I presume, will earn the group money.  Well, he gets on the plane with his two parachutes, plane takes off, and then suddenly a woman comes running out with a bag that looks EXACTLY like one of the parachute yelling, "Which of one you idiots took my laundry?" 

So, the guys quickly strip to their undies and use the clothes (and their own bodies) to try and spell out a warning message to their friend, but the lady appears, and she grabs some of the clothes, not realizing what they're doing.  Several of the guys stand up, trying to get the clothes back, but the women, freaking out by men in their underwear approaching her, backs away.  This leaves the message to spell out "Go on!" which the pilot and the guy getting ready to jump see.

Guy jumps out of the plane, opens chute, and a bunch of clothes fly out.  Luckily, he has an emergency parachute and after much suspense full cutting between him and his friends, "Hit the emergency chute!" He finally does, and lands safely.

This ring any bells?

If you mean my post, it said, "I know Judd Nelson was in it, let me look him up on the IMDB."

No, no, I'm sorry, I meant what did the message they guys tried to spell out in the movie originally say?  After it got messed it, it somehow read "Go on!" and I was curious what the original one was.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
