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.
The film was banned in China because "it damaged China's reputation, giving the impression of a country in chaos, with no government, and overrun by secret societies."
Just as in the first film, there are several scenes in which the live-action Lara mimics the computer game version, in particular, a scene in which she climbs around a pagoda and pole vaults to a helicopter. She also takes a nasty fall as the animated Lara was prone to do.
