In the original short the Wizard slips on a banana peel and flies over a jetliner, crashing into the Magic Kingdom at Disneyland. In the remake he flies over a Space shuttle and crashes into the Olympic stadium. Both feature Jittlov himself giving the dive a rating of 9.7, which makes the other judges beat him up.
