[Jinky]

Fcuk that keeper!

If you can mention your love of Huey Lewis on a music thread, then BullyBeef can speak of his affection for Brad Pitt in a sports movie thread.

Huey fcucking Lewis indeed.

Oh, come now, Jinky. It's hip to be square.

No Sly Thanks.

Rocky 1 was fine and I could even stretch it to say R2 but the rest was crap. Anything Sly is in is usually pure crap lately.

Anyone remember this gem from the late '80s?


Hot Shot

"Jim Youngs (Footloose, The Wanderers) stars as hot headed Jimmy Kristidis, a young American with a passion for soccer. When Jimmy's tryout with the New York Rockers fails he travels to Brazil to seek out his idol, the legendary Santos (Pele). Santos, once the world's greatest soccer player, now lives the life of a recluse in the hills of Rio de Janeiro. In the company of Santos, Jimmy learns new skills both on & off the field, including the famed bicycle kick."

I agree.

I caught the last half of this movie on TV last night and it's fcuking hilarious. A must rent.

 

[Fastshow]

nevermind the bollocks.........

'Hotdog' is the greatest ski film ever produced. Why is it tits just aren't the same now as in the glory days of early 1980's mammaries? Shame.

A wonderful piece of celluloid and the subject of many a childhood ham shank.

The dream sequence which runs through the monk's goalkeeping brain is incredible.

I'm sure it's the same dream all keepers have, not just the psychopathic monk.

an oldie but a goodie...

The Longest Yard gets my vote for best sports movie, even though that cnut Bert Reynolds was the main star. Decent story and plenty of graffic American violence.

The two greatest sports movies of all time...well you have to go with these two. They put their respective sports on the map. Caddyshack and Slapshot. Two of the worst sports movies ever made, Caddyshack 2 and Slapshot 2. What were the chances...

Kung Fu or Soccer?

Rootin' for the little guys...

Has anyone mentioned The Bad News Bears ?

Although it's a movie about the "little guys", it surely warms our hearts when they make their BIG comeback at the end of the first movie. It was top notch, but when the Bears went to Japan, I was just shivering at the thought of "tough guy" Kelly scoring with an Asian babe.

Damn those foreigners pick up the chicks EVERY time~ Right TPower?

[chupacabra]

what the fcuka chinese downhill??

I am with fastshow all the way. It was great ski comedy when it was almost required to have a nice set of jugs in every movie.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but we can't forget Point Break. Keanu and Swazye both showing their acting brilliance in the only good surf movie in many moons. (I can't say that I have seen Blue Crush though, just going out on a limb).

Chupacabra...

ROLLERBALL!!!
Wow, what a movie. The most extreme sport ever!!! LL Cool J is white hot, and Rebecca Romjin, she is all talent.

This really made me want to see the original.

 

[Panties]

Made me want to see it cuz what on earth made a guy like John McTiernan remake such a stupid, horrible, goofy piece of crap like rollerball. After 20 minutes my eyes fell out and ran from the room.
It still worth mentioning here on this thread to go along with the previously mentioned, The Waterboy, The Replacements, and The Bad News Bears.

Dead Solid Perfect is the best Golf movie, all-time .

Gimme A Break

Because this movie seems like it could be the biggest rip-off of one of my all time favourite sports (debatable) movies. I thought would post this here.

Did they think that such classics like "The Hustler" and "The Color of Money" would be forgotten.

How many stories can you make out of the game of pool

Come on.

It's got Christopher Walken, though. So, really . . . how bad could it be?

Not very.

 

[Yoda]

I guess

Especially if he's doing that great dancing scene from the Fatboy Slim video!
